tacky....

hi...i know i missed last week and im bordering on missing this week but im posting! ahhh so tacky i know i know

anywhoo, its been busier lately preparing for summer missinos (we had our first day in detroit today!) and also i had a visit from my BFF last weekend which was a lot of fun, but threw me off in terms of posting on the bloggie.

this past week was pretty hard for me. its kind of funny because i say that pretty much every week, but honestly u guys...I think God has really broken me all spring term long. the hits just kept coming. this past week, i realized how selfish i am in regards to how i treat older sisters in my life... i tend to take advantage of them and expect them to be there for me all the time whenever i want. i got into a few arguments with a few of them recently, and through it all, i just realize how ugly i am. this is good though! because without udnerstanding the depth of my sin, i would not really appreciate or understand how much i need a savior aka JESUS to cleanse my sins!!!

here is a great passage that kept popping up to me this past week... both in personal times and also during the sermon on sunday!

16 “This is the new covenant I will make
with my people on that day,[c] says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”[d]
17 Then he says,
“I will never again remember
their sins and lawless deeds.”[e]

18 And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.

people used to donate like lambs or animals as sacrifice for their sins but it wasn't enough and so jesus dies as the ultimate sacrifice. and this is a NEW covenant. God totally forgives us for our sins and all he asks us is that we continue not to sin anymore. I think if we are able to understand the magnitude of Jesus sacrifice then we wont sin any longer...


ok i have to go now i love u all! <3
