Pops, Promises, & Sparkle


Dad has been here keeping me company the past few days. We have been having a lot of fun together. Saw the Cubs play. They won. That was so sweet. People are out of their minds about their cubbies. I took him downtown and we had fun eating at random resturants you would only see around here. He came to church with me and got to meet people in my new community! I was really excited about that. So, it has been really awesome getting to share what's been going on with me with him. School is chugging along and I can't believe it's already the end of September! Time is flying by!


THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
God remembers. In the Old Testemant God comes through over and over again. Right before He takes action in a situation the Bible says, "And God remembered." And then something huge happens, God moves. He fulfills His promises. He is always faithful. And this same God has come through for me. He has remembered me. He has remembered us. He sent His Son, the only one He ever had, to live here with us. To walk and breathe and start His Kingdom here on earth. Through Jesus, God's Spirit lives here with us. We can not only tap into, but live through the Spirit of God everyday. I am in awe of the faithfulness of God. His Spirit here is a sign of this convenant between us and God. I am made complete before God through His Spirit. I hope in these promises daily and put my life in His hands so that I might be redeemed. A dove has been a symbol of this faithfulness. It represents God fulfilling His promises through His Spirit living here with us. It reminds me that there is more. That I am forever God's and He is always faithful to remember, even me.
