1 John 1:5-9
Living in the Light

This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

First, I must say - be sure to listen to what God has said, not what someone (me) says he said.  Be sure that you are reading the Word directly, and not simply going off of what I (or anyone) tell you...

Second, this grace I speak so highly of - we cannot be a candidate for this grace until we are willing to admit that we need it.  Perhaps you are wondering where your serving of grace is - have you admitted that you need it?

Third, I pray for you that have heard and heard about Jesus but have not heeded, that you would let Jesus into your life, pay attention, listen, and obey.

1 John 1:5-9 speaks to us about God's light - perhaps it will force you to look into your life?  Do you say you have fellowship but are still living in darkness?  Maybe you really are not following Jesus then... Do you claim to be sinless??  How could you think that is possible?  

June 12, 2009 - Church Ave apartment

Look at that beautiful face... well, I am biased of course, I always thought he was absolutely gorgeous - but I'm sure you figured that out already.  We were just hanging out in the garage loving each other.  We did that a lot in this apartment - we would blast the music and dance together, just the two of us - we had friends over also, but my favorite times were the ones with just he and I.  We had so many amazing times together, and most of the time it was doing nothing... well, i guess you aren't really ever doing nothing - but there were times we would just sit in the garage and listen to music - doing nothing else but holding hands, playing footsie, just smiling at each other.  aaaaahhh! i miss that so much!! wow.  So, my dreams were shattered.  There is a Bible Study starting June 7 on this - "Keeping Your Focus When Your Dreams are Shattered," based on Joseph (interesting).  I hope Sweet Pea allows me to attend this...  Speaking of the pea, today is one month to my estimated due date! I can't wait to have her in my arms - I am so anxious to see what she looks like!
