Happy Fourth of July!!

I hope everyone has a fun and save day. Don't blow any fingers off when you light the fireworks!

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Freedom.

2 Corinthians 3:17

Maybe God is helping you help others and yourself.

Do you ever think that God is trying to help you make your own day better or someone else's Day better? In little ways like the other day, my sister bought ice cream from the ice cream man. She bought two things because her throat was hurting. As she was walking back to our house, there were these two boys running after the truck. They soon realized that it was long gone. I had the idea of my sister giving her extra ice cream to the boys. I told her that maybe that's why she bought two ice creams. God wanted her to give the ice cream to the boys. It made them happy and it made my sister happy.
Anther thing that happened............. I will tell you the story all the way from the beginning.
Emma had her birthday and I called to tell her happy birthday. She wasn't having a party or anything, so I went on with my day. I soon realized that I could try to give her a surprise birthday party. I was so excited. I called a few friends including one we have both not seen in a year( her name is Skylar). All in all no one came except Skylar. I was OK with it. Emma didn't know she was coming, so that was a surprise. Back to the main idea here.........Later that night as we were eating enchiladas(Emma and Skylar's favorite when they come to my house) and cupcakes with pink icing Skylar was saying that maybe that's why no one else came. God gave them something else to do so we could catch up. It turned out really nice.

Bible verse to think about. Psalm 32:8

The Lord says," I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you."

The REAL Definition of Maturity.

The REAL definition of maturity comes from Hebrews 5:1-3.
"Every high priest is selected from among men and is appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness. This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people."
