March… oh hey.
March is almost over and I haven’t blogged yet.
Let me be honest about March. March was cold, March was warm and March was hard and March was new, full of blessings and so many questions.
Dear month of March:
Some of you really wompped, some of you was great. I didn’t really enjoy your hormonal weather changes but your daffodils were great. There was so much I was supposed to do within the boarder of your 31 days, and it all did not happen. Oh and because of you blessed March the World Race is one less month away.
March was the month in which I lead someone to Christ for the first time in my life. What a gift this was. A little 9-year-old girl went from death to life by the powerful grace of Jesus through faith in Him. Jesus used me as a servant of His gospel and I held her as she was overcome with comfort and joy knowing that she would never again be separate from her heavenly Father that loves her deeply. The tears flowed out of her eyes and out of my heart ran a river of tears of joy for my new sister in Jesus.
March was the month in which I found out that some people I love dearly believe that we (people) are saved only through baptism in Jesus’ name (specifically) and salvation is not by faith through grace alone. March was the month when I realized I get to love these people even though I do not agree with them, and Jesus died for them, died for me, and died for you too. Jesus’ blood saves us all.
March was the month when I only did laundry once, could see maybe ten inches of the floor in my bedroom for the duration of the month. I’ve also yet to fold any of this laundry and it looks like I need to wash it again any ways. March was the month when I realized that I had to clean my car and clean my room because I’m not the only one who sits in them.
March was the month when I realized I needed to grow up a little bit more because I won’t always be on my family’s health insurance. I need to grow up and make some decisions, get some shots, apply for my Visa and get on this fundraising game.
March was the month when I felt like everything was going to fall apart (including my own life) and I realized that I needed to take:
A
DEEP
BREATH
…inhale
exhale….
I need to start my days with Jesus, end my days with Jesus and seek His word and will everyday.
How do I expect to encounter false doctrine in love and grace and truth when I am not fully immersed in His truth? How do I expect to go overseas for a year when the King of Kings isn’t on the forefront of my mind every single day?
It’s about time I get my priorities in line. I invite you as my family to walk with me in this. I invite you to keep me accountable to be in the word, to seek Jesus’ face and to always, always go to the scripture.
