THURSDAY :D

Ok so im really sorry i forgot last week, i didn't remember it was thursday until friday night bahaha oh summer. but anyway the past week or so has been kind of rough, i sort of really hate speedway. we are really understaffed and everybody acts like speedway is more than just a gas station. WHICH IT ISNT HELLO???? haha anyway, its really hard for me to focus on the blessing in all of this--which is how nice it is to actually have a job. i did not have one last summer and i felt useless. at least now i have something to do and i am making money. i would at least rather have the complaint that i have a job rather than not having a job. but its suriously cutting into my social life, i mean like FOR REALLL! ummm anyway so... i am reading in my bible some more just where i left off. Romans 11. There is one verse that i really really like in this 5 and 6. it states "So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace and if by grace, then it is no longer works, if it were, grace would no longer be grace" I feel like this really sums up what i believe about God sometimes, that i have to work to blessed as if i have to work for and if i don't do A B or C then i won't get what i've been praying for, but that's really not what it is about. again, this may just seem redundant like my other post like blah blah i've heard this before, but if it is so simple then why don't i just listen. i need to do things for God out of a thankful not a heart of negotiation because grace is grace, its given to you not earned. which i think is kind of comforting God just does it because he loves us. ahhh :)

  1. we talked about this during missions training! a lot of people (even some christians) think that they go to heaven if they do good works (like be a good person, donate money a lot, etc). This is actually a misconception and its only by Gods grace are we able to enjoy eternal life. This is a free gift!
