Crying in a Coffee shop pt.2

 Devotional: 

1 Corinthians Chapter 4:

"As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or any human authority." 

"I don't even trust my judgement on this point. My conscience is clear, but that doesn't prove i'm right. It is the lord himself who will examine me and decide." 

"We appeal gently when evil things are said about us. yet we are treated like the world's garbage, like everybody's trash-right up to the present moment."

Chapter 5:

"Don't you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?" 

-talks about lots of sexual sin

"Don't you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life."

Paul says that " those who do wrong will not inherit the kingdom of God?" and proceeds to say in a few verses later " BUT you were cleansed; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God". 

" But you can't say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the lord, and the lord cares about our bodies." 

"Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the holy spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?"

Chapter 7:

this one is about marriage and partners which was a little hard for me, but Paul strongly encourages to stay single like he was during this chapter. This is also where he states, each man should have their own wife and each woman should have their own husband.

Things I know to be true

 Today is a rainy day and I am finding it especially hard to stay positive. As a counter-attack to negative thoughts, I have decided to make a list of things that make me happy in order to practice gratuity in the lows. 1) I love movies that remind me of my childhood ( The Holiday, Forrest Gump, About Time, Grown ups) 2) I love the way listening to movie scores make me feel.  3) I love it when the Lord speaks to me and when I feel His presence.  4) I love when I rant to my parents and they listen and give sound advice (which is all the time) 5) I love playing tennis with my family 6) I love playing games with my family. 7) I love watching my parents drink Mate on the front porch in the afternoon 8) I love watching my dad making my mom laugh 9) I love my dog Maggie, I love watching her sunbathe and get exited to get in the car with me 10) I love it when Luka my brother comes in my room and tells me the tea that goes on in his life.  11) I love getting a good parking s...

Day 46

On this beautiful Saturday morning I am currently sitting at a Starbucks about to go to work. My coffee tastes exactly as it should and I had a somewhat productive prayer in the car. I woke up at 6:30 because a bunch of guys were working on our roof. I made my bed, did my devotional, put makeup on, all by 8 a.m this morning, I also made myself a delicious coffee this morning so this second coffee feels almost unnecessary. However, it made my morning. Today I have work like every Saturday, (I quit my job so I am learning to love every moment until I leave). Then there is is this workshop for remnant teen talent, I am praying for my dancers. Then the cherry on top of the whole day is the Barbie party I will be attending tonight. I have been looking forward to this day since I was invited. Although I will look nothing like a barbie I am exited to wear my purple pants. I want to get into the habit of writing out all of the things that make me happy in avoidance of the heaviness I have been...

October

 Today I watched the first episode of the Chosen season 2 and I cried again. It is a blessing to view how good the lord was to people who felt like they didn't deserve it, and in my book none of us deserve it. But he does, because he loves. Yesterday I was coming home exhausted out of my mind and wanted to watch a movie, but I can't because I'm fasting. I respected the fast and watched the chosen, and I am so glad I did. Not only did I get a good night's rest, but I went to sleep EARLY, which isn't a common occurrence. That was a true blessing. I am writing this as a reminder for me to not fall into the temptation of watching movies, this is the important part. Keep fighting it. There is something coming. Soph West Side Story
