Matthew 1- now i read the christmas sotry with so much more appreciation, because of the significance of the Messiah coming to the people! Praise God!!!
Joseph in the line of Jesus from Abraham.
Immanuel means: "God with us"
Updates on my life::
Lately it has been almost as crazy this summer as college was! Because I am taking an online Nutrition class, working about 20 hours a week as a high school intern for St. John's, and trying to manage my other time with going to the gym, catching up with my friends, and also spending time with family. Now spending time with the Lord should always be number one, but there have been many mornings this week and last week where I havent been able to do a legit quiet time, but I am really working on that. I am blogging this morning because I finally have extra 30 min of time praise God! and I am finally catching up on my sleeping pattern. I feel like I am already a middle aged woman soemtimes because of the hours that i get up and go to bed. 730 am-10 haha, during the summer. I am an alien young adult haha. But God is so faithful. He always sees me through the day. No matter how crazy it can get. He gives me the fruits of the Spirit. I need to work on not being so crazy with my planning and schedualling, and trust that God will see me through much better than I can see myself through. I have a problem with trying to accomplish too many things in one day, or trying to hang out with people because I feel guilt if I havent seen them in a while without taking care of my body aka not sleeping, and putting too much pressure on myself. I don't have as much free time as I used to back when I was a junior or even a senior summer. But I really wouldn't want to have it any other way, God has blessed me with so much, and I just need to enjoy it! Not put so much pressure but just be and let it be amazing!
Last week was my first week with St. John's as the High School intern, and it was perdy awesome getting to know the kids and helping out with logisitic stuff was a really good experience. I just am so thankful that God opened this door to work me in ministry, I dont want to take it for granted, because it really is the dream job! This week I got paid for getting food at Smart and Final, making some phone calls, and going to 2 beach bonfires! It was exhausting loading everything in and out, but I was so joyful that I got to be a part of the ministry that is goin on in these kids lives. Praise God! To be continued....
