It has been quite the week and a half.I've been up;I've been down~but God has been faithful through it all.Praise God for His mercies that are new every morning;Great is His faithfulness!Here is a recap of what God has been revealing to me:
-It's hard to love others when you don't truly love yourself.Don't spend time coveting what others have and lose sight of what God has given you-or rather,blessed you with.Love yourself because "you" is who God created you to be.It's through that self-love that we have the ability to draw nearer to God and through that,show love to others.
-My home is in Jesus Christ.So as I am very homesick right now for my family(including my little Churchill),I always have a home with Jesus first and foremost.Thank you Maggie for that reminder tonight=)
-The boy is clearly not worth my time at the moment-even for a friendship.I'm sorry,but at his age and as someone who wants to go into the ministry,there is NO excuse for saying one thing to me,doing something completely different than what was said,and walking right by me-as in,almost stepping on my toes-and not so much as even glancing in my direction.When we do happen to make eye contact his half-hearted smile tells me that he's only smiling because he feels obligated too.I deserve more than that.I respect myself enough to know that I deserve better than that....
