My adventure with a 6 year old and what he taught me

We went to visit the Stone's from church yesterday and immediatly Caleb is like Stephanie lets go play. So we go play ball in the house and had a balst and didnt break anything lol. His parents didnt care. Then we were playing lightsabers and playing garbage disposal. dont ask lol. Then he said im hungry and we decide on cheeze its and to watch a hermie video. Hermie is a christian dvd that teaches kids stuff. wow and those teach you. It was on having faith in certain situations. Sometimes you need a kids movie to teach you to have a little faith. In some situations I get worried, I tend to be a worry wart sometimes.

Yesterday was filled with amazing things

Yesterday was church day my favorite day of the week. In Sunday school we are goin through James and we had an interesting discussion. We went through James 19-25. It was being about quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. I have been thinking about this when I listen to people. When someone needs me I need to do these 3 things. I need to be able to listen to what they are really saying. We talk so much and a lot of people even pay people to listen to them. This lesson helped me a lto and the discussion we had on it. It made me think a lot. It was my brothers last time teaching Sunday school because he will be going into the young married class when he gets back from his honeymoon. It was very sad but I am very proud of my brother.

The sermon was on prayer and how we need to use it as our secret weapon. He went through Ephesians 6:18-20. Luckily we have this relationship with God that we can go to him about anything anytime. You know how you say to someone I'll pray for you. Well my pastor challenged us to think LETS PRAY ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW! Which is a good thing to do. Lets not wait when you will probably forget. There was a good quote someone said but I didnt write down the name. "Satan trembles when he sees the weakest christian pray" also another one "Prayer is profitable when it is practiced"

I love my pastor he challenges us and makes think about so many things and apply it to my life. :)

My boss texted saying shes running late and i need some prayer for my friend. We got on the subject of life having a purpose and God creating everything. We both know each other feels but we havent talked about it in awhile. We obviously dont believe the same things. I know deep down my friend loves Jesus they told me one day they accepted Jesus into their heart. Pray if the opportunity comes God will give me the right words. :-)

Its funny when God puts something right in your face something that you needed to hear. I love those moments. :)

Something to think about

In Sunday School yesterdaqy we were talking about bearing each others burdens. Now think about it, How do you bear someone's burdens? We were thinking it has to do with sin because we were going through Galatians. Yesterday we read Galatians 6:1-10 So when someone sins how do you bear those burdens? You dont go out and sin for them. But there are many ways you can help them. You can bear someone burdens by being an accountability partner, by encouragement, or by scripture. If you have to confront a friend about sin you need to confront them by using the fruits of the spirit. You need to confront gently. We also talked a little bit if a friend is taking a test and it is a burden you cant take the test for them but you can help them by cooking them a meal to help make it easier on them.

I have been thinking about this a lot i thought it was interesting. When you truly think about the phrase bearing someones burdens.

Have a great day!!

Memories

My granddad went out of town this weekend so we had to go feed the cats and the dogs. My mom was getting some of my grandmas old clothes to go to goodwill because they dont need to be sitting there. While my mom did that I went through my grandmas drawers. They smelt like old people like her old scent and it felt nice. I know that sounds weird but I miss her and its good memories.

As most of you know she died eventually of brain cancer and I was going through her bottom drawer and found old baby clothes. This is kinda sad. I guess she knew she was dying because she marked with a post it note and a pin holding it on saying whos clothes they were. But she wasnt with it. Instead of writing Cheryl and Paul she wrote Aunt Cheryls dress also work by stephanie and cherie. It was so cute and I remember seeing a pic with me in it. She knew she was dying and breaks my heart.

Lately I have been going through these feelings of I am forgetting what she looked like and how she used to sound. I dont want to. There are pictures but its not the same. I miss her hugs and her freckles and that old people smell that is fading on her stuff. I found her hair wraps that she wore when she lost her hair and all I can remember is her bald head with the port where they put the chemo into her brain. I dont want to be thinking those things. My grandpa is also getting old and cant move fast and its heartbreaking. I am a kid who spent lots of time with their grandparents they mean the world to me hearing their stories and sharing Gods love with me. I feel like I am forgetting it all.

Memories come back all the time but they get fainter and fainter. Be praying for me. Ugh I miss her so much and I know she wouldnt want me to be thinking like this. I want to sit in my bed and just cry but I cant the tears wont come. I guess thats a good thing.
