Practicing the Truth.

'Be also doers of the Word and not only hearers, so deceiving yourselves.' --JAMES 1:22
Putting the Word into practice. It's tough sometimes, but when you have the right motives - you enjoy trying. You enjoy trying to be righteous. You enjoy keeping out of sin. You enjoy showing God that you love Him, and that He comes first. - Anyways, I've been re-reading Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I'm trying to get back to the basics and re-learn the things in which I have forgotten or thought I knew+ reading Love Beyond Reason by John Ortberg. Suuuuper good book foreal. Like I understand why Marvin took so long to read it. There's such an immense amount of wisdom you have to stop and reflect alot to really let it sink in to your heart. AND talks with April always leave you with a new hunger for Jesus :P She's so inspiring that's why.

'Every good and perfect gift is from above'
--JAMES 1:17
Totally correct. I really need to learn to be more thankful and appreciative of the blessings in my life. For my family. For my friends. My girls especially. For my church. For my 'not-boyfriend but forever'. For school. For clothes. For the roof over my head. For food. For my salvation

"To love another person is to see the face of God."
When you're loving them the right way - God's way.
When you're in God's will. Practicing God's love.
Then it all just falls together (:

Ergh anyways - I've beeen trying to do better in school. I am, except Algebra 2. Like foreal, I need to shape up and start doing some work in that class! I have my video project due on March 9th. 30% of my Science, English, and Social Studies grade. So I MUST pass that with flying colors. Raaaaaawr, anyways - spent enough time on this thing. Bye bye bye bye bye.

'Above all, continue to love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins' -1 Peter 4:8
