"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death."
-Romans 8:2
...Christ has set us free!
Today I will abide in this truth.
There is nothing like the feeling of letting go and opening my heart completely and saying.. "God I do trust you.. take my circumstances, take my life, and make it yours."
While this can be one of the hardest things to do when I so badly want to be in control.. I find that no matter what.. God works.. and that always turns out to be the best thing!!!!
2 Corinthians 1:20 says.. "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God."
So no matter what I feel like or no matter how I see things on this earth.. when I give God my life.. His answer is ALWAYS yes.
...If I am abiding in His word and truly living in this.. it will be right no matter what. (Even if I originally thought I had a better plan) living in God's word shows me that He is right all along and that is the absolute greatest place to be.
He is for us!!!
Sometimes answers to prayers don't come right away.. but oh man, that does not mean that Our Father does't hear. Perseverance and patience in the waiting process can be hard, but Our God does hear.. and He will answer in His time.
These truths came to life for me this week in a few different ways and how stinking cool it is.
AHHHH! And this week, I found out that I am doing my first half marathon EVER. So so so excited! I never win drawings or raffles.. but I won a free admission to the BCS Marathon on December 11th! How neat is that?! Whoop!
I feel very motivated right now!
Also, Thanksgiving feels like it is coming so soon and I am so excited! Can't wait to be together with you family!, and Trevor and I get to come to the game and that just adds so much happiness to it all!
Little brother Chet is a football rockstar, playing in his first ever playoff game this weekend! Oh yeah! This is us last weekend, isn't he just amazing?!
P.s- I love this cold weather, it feels like Christmas! Time for White Chocolate Peppermint Mochas, Elf, Fires, Cuddles, Jackets, Cold Runs, andddd lotsa more cold weather things!
Love you so much friends and family!
