Forgiveness

The ground of all forgiveness is found in the unmerited love of God, by our attitude toward others we show whether we have made that love our own. - COL 251.4

Happy Birthday Shannon!!

Happy Birthday Shannon!!!

Thanks for being such a great roommate!

We have had such fun...chasing and capturing that fly?

And inhaling helium? I am so sure it really effected my brain....lol.

It was so fun walking you to Kyle's house! 

I bet walking blindfolded and not knowing where you were going was

a little nerve racking...but it was worth it! Totally worth it! 

That apple pie and those papousas were so good! Thanks Kyle! 

Great idea! And thanks Carmen for helping with the detour! 

I am so thankful for such an incredible roommate! Thank you for

all the times that you made my bed and washed my dishes and for the hugs that 

you just knew I needed. And thank you for all the prayers!

I am going to miss you! 

I LOVE YOU LOTS!!

Happy Birthday

Burdens

What a glorious Lord!

He who daily bears our burdens

also gives us our salvation.

-Psalm 68:19-20

What a promise!! Not only does God carry our burdens for us, but he gives us salvation and eliminates those burdens! May God carry your burdens for you today, and allow him to completely eliminate them from your life.

Strength in Gods Arms

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. -Psalm 147:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea I will help thee; I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. -Isa 41:10

God does not take delight in the legs of man because they are weak, and they fail man. But when mans legs fail him and he can no longer walk the Christian walk on this earth, God has strong arms to carry us. He will uphold us with His right hand. In the Lord, there is strength forever, for He has strong arms to carry us when our weak legs give out. 

Isa 30:15:

For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

Psalm 90:12-17

Teach us the shortness of life, that we may grow in wisdom.

Oh Lord, come back to us. How long will You delay?

Take pity on Your servants.

Satisfy us each morning with Your unfailing love, 

so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.

Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery.

Replace the evil years with good.

Let us, Your servants, see You work again...

And may the Lord our God, show us His approval and make our efforts successful.

Yes, make our efforts successful.

-Psalm 90:12-17-

Faith

Give us faith to be strong
Father, we are so weak
Our bodies are fragile and weary
As we stagger and stumble to walk where you lead
Give us faith to be strong

Give us faith to be strong
Give us strength to be faithful
This life is not long, but it's hard
Give us grace to go on
Make us willing and able
Lord, give us faith to be strong

Give us peace when we're torn
Mend us up when we break
This flesh can be wounded and shaking
When there's much too much trouble for one heart to take
Give us peace when we're torn

Give us faith to be strong
Give us strength to be faithful
This life is not long, but it's hard
Give us grace to go on
Make us willing and able
Lord give us faith to be strong

Give me a heart to find hope
Father, I cannot see
How the sorrow I feel can bring freedom
And as hard as I try, Lord it's hard to believe
So, give me a heart to find hope

Give me faith to be strong
Give me strength to be faithful
This life is not long, but it's hard
Give me grace to go on
Make me willing and able
Lord, give me faith to be strong
Give me peace when I'M torn
Give me faith, faith to be strong
