I just erased a really long blog, that I basically poured my heart into. I did it on purpose too. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think it's because I don't think I needed to write down everything that I had. I'm learning not to always be so "look at me and here's what I did." That may seem weird to some of you, but God is really working in me a new spirit. A spirit of being a blessing and a giver. Of my life.  So instead of telling you the deep intricacies of my heart, I've decided I would just give you some encouragement.

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."

Ephesians 6:11-18 "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, buagainst the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of thes dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand you ground, and after you have done everything to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around you waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with you feet fitted with the gospel of peace. In addition to al lthis, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all  kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

Phillipians 2:5-11 " Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the namethat is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, that every thongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
