HOW AM I ?

You can say not well.

Last week, I read on the phone with Kristine, Melissa, and Kathleen. I'm so glad Melissa kind of pushed us to grab our bibles and read because it definitely helped. But, I feel like I'm just back to being not well.

I've been struggling. I haven't been reading and I haven't been praying. So, I'm going to just push myself to read my bible. I read James 1 because I always receive a certain verse from that chapter.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing
James 1:2-4

That reminds of how I should receive trials gladly knowing that I will grow from that trial.

Something I've been struggling with is that I haven't been spreading the gospel.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
James 1:22

Then I decided to read John 3 to help me remind myself of the most important part of the Gospel. Jesus Christ. Born again; sometimes I doubt if I'm saved. Now, I seriously just want to sing praise to Him. I want to watch Passion of the Christ because I never fully watched it. I want to live life giving all the glory to Him. I want to remind myself as much as I can that Christ died for us to save us so we can have eternal life. He loves us that much; that just makes me love Him so much!

So, PTL. Sometimes I just need a push.

So, How am I now?
I'm doing well. PTL for the bible! PTL for Jesus Christ! PTL for life!

If anyone has any passages to suggest for me to read, please comment!
