Made Up Mind



This week there have been multiple conversations with dear ones who have found patterns in their life of giving in to temptation and giving in to the demands of the uncrucified flesh. After a while, we began to discuss how it seems like some folks just don't struggle with transgression to the degree that other people do and these thoughts came out of those conversations. 

  • You are not a victim, you are a victor! Quit the blame game.
  • Jesus quite literally provided us with the victory.
  • You do not need to be enslaved to patterns that wound your spirit. 
  • Freedom is available to you!
  • Your choices are reflective of the things you feed your spirit/soul/mind.  
  • Just like physical food manifests itself in your physical body - spiritual food manifests itself in your conversations and your decisions. 
  • You're obsessing over whether or not God loves you, that's a waste of energy. 
  • He's already proven to all of humanity that He does. This was settled in the life, death, burial, resurrection, and promised-return of Christ Jesus. 
This life is a space in time for you to decide if you will love God; if you will agree with God, and if you will surrender to Him. 
Stop trying to make it about any of the other things.

'The Wrinkles on My Face' (Lizzie's short story)

Name: Lizzie Tegart Age: 10 years Grade: 5th Date: November 12, 2012   Wrinkles on My Face It’s a dark morning. The alarm clock wakes me up with its “beep, beep, beep, beep.” I pressed the snooze button but the beeping only stopped for a while. When it started up again, I wanted to throw my alarm clock out the window but I knew that I shouldn’t so I got up. “Burr”, I said out loud. The floor was freezing cold on my toes! I tried to feel around for my bunny slippers but found only one of them, so I put on the one that I found and hopped to the bathroom. When I got there I flipped on the light; the light was bright on my tired eyes. I squinted and looked around to see my other slipper sitting by the bathtub. “Oh good,” I thought “now both feet will be warm.” After I put my other slipper on I decided to brush my teeth. Still squinting, I opened the cabinet and felt around for my toothbrush. As I looked through half closed eyes for the tube I thought, “I hope the raspber...
