HI NEWHALL!!!!!


Okay, but seriously. God is SO SO SO SO SO SO COOL!
It's just so neat right now because prayer is becoming something so much more to me. It used to just be something I did when we all got together, and sometimes during the day to "get with God". But I'm learning about how it's real communion with Him, all the time. That's crazy! I can be with God... all day, every day. And now when I pray, focus has become so needed, because otherwise my prayers feel so unfulfilling... so not real at all. I mean, if I don't mean my prayers they aren't reaching His ears. God takes us on journeys through our prayers... He shows us things, reveals things, I think that is so cool.

Obedience and discipline are also becoming a life-or-death situation. If we don't listen to God, we are breeding death. We are not walking His path. If we are not disciplined in Him, we are not following Him. We have to give it ALL up. Not just part of it, but the whole thing. He's worthy of it all, anyways. And it's not like, by obeying Him, we are inconviencing ourselves. Really, we are storing up treasures in Heaven. And we are winning the ultimate prize. We get REAL freedom in our lives. We become testimonies.


God rocks.

I love you, as well. Thank you for talking with me today. You really do mean a lot to me, and I am SO thankful that God has given me such a friend as you. I am excited to see where he will bring us, and everything. You are a wonderful inspiration to me, and I hope you know that.

We need each other.
