But, it seems God has something to say through you each day. I too, will miss your daily entries.<br /><br />SheriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27901932.post-35592630745348297472011-04-15T11:12:17.198-07:002011-04-15T11:12:17.198-07:00oops...

My Lent committment this year was to stay away from TV/computer etc past 9 pm when I work on the next day. Actually, it´s the first time I´ve done anything for Lent. Initially I felt guilty it wasn´t something "big" like giving up facebook but I´m sooo thankful that God reminded me I don´t have to do that to be a "good Christian." It turns out Melissa that I don´t know how I would have survived one of the craziest-busiest months of my life w/o that committment. God was sooo good in helping me get to bed earlier (which was the reason for the committment in the first place) so I could survive this month but also physically feel the difference of sleeping better. I had been BEGGING Him for that :). <br />My committment is kind of finished because I´m on vacation now :). But it was good to see how wise, faithful and loving my Dad is :).<br /><br />Just one encouraging thought--- about your blogging and WORDS in general-<br /><br />And they overcame him (Satan)by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony and by not loving their lives til death. Rev 12.11<br /><br />I believe you are blogging THE WORDS OF YOUR TESTIMONY and also writing THE FRUITS OF LIPS THAT CONFESS HIS NAME and that encourages others, including me :). <br /><br />Not that you´ll have to feel responsible for doing it all the time later, but for now, if it´s what you believe God has called you to do, hope that is encouraging.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Mo<br /><br />ps... looks like with the dates you gave me, I might be able to see you this summer! :)romihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065633410768833857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27901932.post-23574560375210772712011-04-15T00:17:26.641-07:002011-04-15T00:17:26.641-07:00Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will r...Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.<br /><br />Luke 18:1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.<br /><br />2 Corinthians 4:1 Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.<br /><br />Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up<br /><br />... just a little reminder for those days when you feel like you've exhausted all your strength and have nothing left to give. I have those days too. In His words I find comfort and rest, and a renewed since of hope and purpose.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217547736355134319noreply@blogger.com
