I caught myself just now about to title this blog post "Home." I realized, though, that Jesse is soon to be my home...my family :) So thus in this post we are talking about our new "HOUSE" :)
Jesse and I are so blessed in that we are able to start our married life together in our own house! Though it's not yet finalized, it's a lovely little place in Boone....
Do you ever find yourself thriving in certain places or seasons of life or absolutely dying in others? I've noticed that location and environment definitely affects my spiritual outlook. Sometimes are harder than others to seek and pursue growth! Knowing this about myself, I've been struggling to invest time in some spiritual disciplines. If nothing else, seeing "The Book of Eli" shot me to the heart of my LACK in memorized scripture. I've been attempting to memorize Colossians, primarily because it talks about who we are IN CHRIST. This passage about the character of the new man has come up often... (Col. 3:12-17)
12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on TENDER MERCIES, KINDNESS, HUMILITY, MEEKNESS, LONGSUFFERING;
13 BEARING with one another, and FORGIVING one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
14 But above all these things put on LOVE, which is the bond of perfection.
15 And let the PEACE of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be THANKFUL.
16 Let the word of Christ DWELL in you richly in all WISDOM, TEACHING and ADMONISHING one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, SINGING with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatever you do in word or deed, DO ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving THANKS to God the Father through Him.
