Didn't like the drama.
The preferences teachers gave.
The fights in the halls.
The drama.
And then, I went to college.
Wasn't there drama?
Sure. But, it was different.
I learned to love school.
It's probably that love of learning that keeps my attention on Sunday mornings. I want to learn something. I want to hear something that I can apply to my life.
This last Sunday was no different.
Here are some notes I wrote down from Pastor Jon's sermon.
They're good words for a day like today-
VALENTINE'S DAY.
A day to care for people and show love.
*Don't tell me what you believe-
show me what you practice.
*Jesus would go out of his way to
reach people-
it was his "main thing."
*We must take initiative and go to people-
not make them come to us.
*Jesus was willing to look passed people's
faults and see their needs-
acceptance
love
comfort
forgiveness
This Valentine's Day I'm thinking about seeing people's needs and not writing them off for their faults. I have faults. I fail daily. But, I wouldn't want someone to do that to me.
happy valentine's day
everybody!

I'm so thankful you can see past my faults and Abi's failures. You are such a blessing to both of us. I love you!
I don't love it when you post things that hit me square between the eyes. But at the same time, I do love it.
You know?
You're awesome.
I especially love that first line. Thanks for sharing!
