Ginny - 1 John 4:5-6

Good Morning Girlz!!!! Karlyn glad you're back. Boooo for crazy weeks! Tomorrow is Veteran's Day, so today is my Friday. I leave tomorrow for San Antonio to run a race on Sunday. I love San Antonio! It will always be one of my favorite places.





S - They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world and the world listens to them. We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.





O - They (the world) aren't suppose to understand. He warns us right here in verse 6.





A - Lysa TerKeurst's blog is one of my favorites (after this one of course ;)) If y'all aren't following it, you need to. She is so good and the way she is able to put her thoughts on paper amazes me. She is funny, blunt, deep, sweet, and grounded in truth. On Wednesday she wrote something that really caught my attention. She said: "Other people aren’t always right. They are sometimes. But not all the time." Seeing that in print really took me back a bit. It seemed like a pretty forward comment, and then I realized...You know what? She's right. Other people aren't always right. They accept and do things that do not line up with the Word of God. And to take is a step forward...just like these verses say...they aren't going to get us either. We are suppose to be different. We are suppose to think of things differently. There are many times I wish this wasn't the case. I would love to jump on the bandwagon and not have to look like the fuddy duddy because I'm not doing something, but in my heart of hearts obedience to the Lord is more important to me than any acceptance or satisfaction from the World. Hard in the moment, but freedom in the long run.





P - Girls, thank y'all so much for praying for me this week. I mentioned an area of temptation I felt the Lord wanting me to nip in the bud, and Glory to God I have been 10 days free! It has been hard and moments I reasoned with myself real good about caving in, but I didn't and I am sooooooo glad I didn't. I want y'all to know I am praying for y'all too. Also an update on my Aunt...she went back to get results from the first round of chemo and it was all good! It did exactly what they were hoping it would, and even better in a few areas. So thank you, thank you, thank you for praying for her. They go back to Houston next week for round 2. And then lastly...my brother is blogging again and it will be hysterical! I highly recommend it if you just need a good read to brighten your day.

Kind of crazy. It's with my Dad's job and they will be up there for 3 years. I'm good, but if y'all will please pray for my sister and Tim. Amy is going to miss them terribly. She lives 45 mintues from them now, and she is the one with grandkids. Tim on the other hand is a little less than thrilled they are moving up there. He just got there in August and is loving it. Having parents there isn't really exciting news. Alright well I'm done. Really done this time. Y'all have a great day! Love you all!!!
