Prayers Answered

So this morning when I prayed for more faith, I meant it, but I didn't see how God could work that in me today. Then tonight happened.

At the dorms, we had a meeting about next year's rooming situation. I have decided that it is not a good idea for me to room with my current roommate. Then her and my suitemate made plans to get two rooms together next year.

So I told myself that I would trust God in these plans.

Then I went and made plans with another girl to be her suitemate next year. After the meeting tonight, I'm not sure that is going to work out... So after getting really upset after the meeting and God sending people to help me calm down, I got back to my room and was thinking about it.

God is using this situation to deepen my faith in Him because, in all reality, I have no control over who I am placed with next year. So I can just trust God and pray that He will send me someone that I will be "compatible" with, someone I will be able to lift up, and that will lift me up.

So we shall see.

 I know God would never give me anything that I can't handle, so I will trust Him in this.

(Because His plans is so much better than mine.)

Thanks for reading.

In God, Emily

Living the Life

A couple months ago I was wearing a t-shirt that my mom got me at a Beth Moore conference we attended last year.  If you are not familiar with Beth Moore, her ministry is called Living Proof Ministries.  The t-shirt said, "I'm living proof." I had someone come up to me and ask what it said.  Then she asked what I was living proof of. Her question threw me off guard. What am I living proof of? I stammered out an answer.  Something along the lines of, "I'm living proof of God working in my life." That answer was not necessarily wrong. But as a mature Christian, why did I not have an answered prepared?  I knew what the shirt said.  I should have been ready to answer such a question.   As Christians, we wear certain things, such as our "Christian" t-shirts, or we act certain ways or do certain things, like praying before we eat.  We should be ready to give a reason for any of these things at any moment. The bible tells us to, " p...

Hope for the Future

This afternoon, Matt and I had the pleasure of watching my twin nieces for a couple hours.  What a blessing! I picked them up when I got off work, and we made a quick run through Sonic for some $0.50 corn dogs (Matt and the girls love them!)  Easy dinner for the win! As we came to the house, we sat down around our table and enjoyed a meal together.  I didn't even have to get onto the girls that much, which was a nice change of pace. After dinner, the girls colored at the table as Matt and I caught up on our day. We then spent some time reading to the girls some of the children's books that we have stashed away for our little ones in the future.  We even have an entire collection of books from Matt's childhood! The part of the evening that gives me the most hope is this: I watched my husband sit on the couch with two curly-headed four year olds and read them stories. I saw a glimpse of the daddy that he is going to get to be someday. And I loved every ...

Verse to Think About- 2 King 19:30

"And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward." 2 Kings 19:30 We are called to take root downward. This is making sure that we are grounded in Christ Jesus.  Also, we are called to bear fruit upwards. This is showing the fruit of the Spirit and the fruit of righteousness.  The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We are called to practice these every day of our lives. We are to show these to the people around us, to be an example to the people around us that do not know Christ's love and God's grace. Just something to think about. And I have to throw this in for a friend...Jesus is awesome! And so true it is. Thanks for reading. In God, Emily
