Good Morning Girlz!!! It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!! Get excited!!!!!!! What's everyone doing?
Lesson to remember: The Lord is continuing to show more and more about the concept of light & dark, and how sometimes good things can change into things of darkness. The Lord is also convicting me a lot about my moodiness. I don't want my mood to hinge on my circumstances. I want to be constant. I want people to know what to expect from me.
God wants me to learn: I can control this. I must stop and chose to not go down that road. Be aware of times when moodiness is moving in and stop it before it makes an appearance.
Faith into action: To continue to pray about this, and actually write out a plan of action for what I will do when I find myself being inconsistent with others.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm praying for you all! Lots of love!

Ginny - 1 John 3:9-10
Good Morning Girlz!!!
S - No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
O - Here are the qualifications. You say you are a child of God, then...do you do what is right and do you love?
A - 2 things: do what is right and love. How well am I doing these? Do others know I am saved based on the evidence of these two qualifcations? Do what is right. Am I doing what is right? I know I need to work on my attitude in general towards people. What about love? Is that my top priority in making decisions? I could use more love.
P - Lord thank You for Your Word and how it instructs us.

Ginny - 1 John 3:7-8
Good Morning Girlz!!! Half way through the week - yipppeee! Rangers play tonight and hopefully become the new World Series Champs, cold front moves in tomorrow & I will be pulling out all my sweaters, and parents come in Friday to celebrate their 60th bdays with a Tech football game. Lots of fun stuff! Hope each one of y'all is doing good and enjoying this time of year. Lots to be thankful for.
S - Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.
O - This is like a big DUH! Hello McFly! The devil has been doing this for years. He's a pro. He's not planning on stopping anytime soon, so get your game on and be ready!
A - It always chaps my hide how the devil knows me so well! He knows just where my weaknesses are and how to really throw me off balance. He can really get to me! When I stop to think about how to win this battle, I realize it comes with the first step...the first turn of the head...the first rise of the eyebrow. In Weight Watchers I always tell my members that there is power in a small pause & asking ourselves "do I really want to do this?" before we dive-in. That 2 second pause can determine staying on program and losing weight, or forgetting it all and spriralling down hill. The first step is always the most crucial. So, when the devil comes with his temptations I must pause & chose righteousness or defeat.
P - Lord open my eyes to satan's schemes. Help me see light as light and dark as dark. I desire to be righteous. To follow Your example. To be like You.

Ginny - 1 John 3:4-6
Good Morning!!!
S - Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. You know that He appeared in order to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.
O - "There is NO sin." I am so glad our God is perfect. Absolutely clean. There are no "little" sins or no-big-deal sins or white lies or gluttony every once in a while. He is white as snow. No blemish. No dirt. No sin.
A - I bring this out today because I have a decision to make that is one of those that rides the fence a little bit. It is not bad, but as a Christian why even go there? One of those "above reproach" things. You know what I mean? This verse is a good reminder that it can be black or white. Either it is good or it isn't.
P - Lord, I ask for wisdom to make the right decision. Please continue to show me truth and compell my heart and mind to the right decision.
