1 Timothy 1:18-19ish message
"... fearless in your struggle, keep a firm grip on your faith and on yourself. After all, this is a fight we are in. There are some you know, who by relaxing their grip and thinking anything goes, have made a thorough mess of their faith."
*After reading this I thought "Man, how many times have I relaxed my grip? Gotten comfortable? Am I there right now?
* I have begun to ask myself questions like:
"When have I stepped out in faith lately?"
* I have done some "nice things" for people... BUT, did it require faith? Does Christ have ALL of me? Have I been loving genuinely?
* We can become so absorbed in our own lives that we forget the reason we are alive... to grow in our love for Christ and others.
*For me... I have been reminded to tighten my grip on my faith and on myself.
*What does this mean for me?
-I must push in prayer for others
-I must be broken for the things that God is broken for.
-Genuine love must be my life, not my "ministry".
-My faith must increase
-I must know and love the Word more
Hmmm... It's going to be quite a year :) Thank you JESUS!

Hello Ms. Pants,
You made your site simple yet elegant. I see that Jesus is foremost in your mind as you go about your daily activities. Now is a good time! I recommend the one true God, Jehovah.
I want to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. Here is an important message for all of us from the Bible: 17 You make God tired with all your talk. "How do we tire him out?" you ask. By saying, "God loves sinners and sin alike. God loves all." And also by saying, "Judgment? God's too nice to judge." (Malachi 2:17) (Message Bible)
