Church is my therapy. God is my soul, heart, mind, my everything. He gets me and loves me even when I make the same mistakes over and over again. He never leaves me and I need to always remember that.
Justify- (v.) to declare free of blame
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
Titus 2:2-8
The first thing the sermon started out with is as young people we need to listen and seek advice from the older people in our church. They have been through and/or know what we as young people are facing so don’t be afraid to talk to them and listen to them.
He then takes the sermon to Genesis 6 talking about the story of Noah and the flood. His main message was becoming a child of Christ and following his commands. What I got from the message was that when I became a child of God and accepted Him into my heart, believed in Him, confessed of my sins, and then was baptized into the water; that God has forgiven me for every single little minute thing I’ve ever done. He JUSTIFIED me. I always forget that. I always think I’m a horrible person for the things I’ve done to myself, friends, family, and even in my relationship and think it can never be change. I often feel lonely and feel like he’s given up on me. God has wiped it all away and treats me like I’m still the perfect person he’s always seen me as and allows me to make corrections. I know he gets frustrated when I get so down on myself and also when I’m not correcting my errors however he helps me, sticks with me, and continues loving day in and day out. He’s one of the few people that actually gets me and I praise, thank, and honor Him for that.
This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.
Genesis 6:9
Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
Genesis 6:22
I am a good person. I am a good woman in Christ. Yes I mess up and fall short sometimes but he always picks me up, wipes my knees, and we continue this journey together again.
I was listening to this song on my way home from church and it really touched me. The words hit to how I’ve been feeling and I don’t need to worry because He is always going to help me.
Have you ever been so down, down,
that you don’t really know what to say;
you tried and tried to do what’s right, right,
and it seems more stuff comes your way.
So you unplug all the phones,
just wanna be left alone, praying for a better day.
Chorus:
Then I hear your sweet voice, (don’t worry).
Will you be there, (in a hurry).
You know I’ve been hurt before, (I see you).
Don’t wanna be hurt no more, no, no, (never leave you no),
don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry.
Verse 2:
See people always talk about ‘bout the things
that they’ve been going through,
but you can’t tell how me I feel, feel,
until you walk in my shoes.
See, I’m tired of being tired, fake people all around,
want someone to love me for me (me).
Chorus:
Then I hear your sweet voice, (don’t worry).
Will you be there, (in a hurry).
You know I’ve been hurt before, (I see you).
Don’t wanna be hurt no more, no, no, (never leave you no),
don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry.
Bridge:
When the rainbow cannot be found,
and so called best friend, you’re not around,
I open my eyes and realize You were always there.
Chorus:
Then I hear your sweet voice, (don’t worry).
Will you be there, (in a hurry).
You know I’ve been hurt before, (I see you).
Don’t wanna be hurt no more, no, no, (never leave you no),
don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry.
, which makes me even more excited!!! So I’m happy and keep smiling everywhere I go.
**US (I look bad but he looks great…anyways I like us together)**
I’m super excited because I usually see him during Christmas break and May but things changed this year and it’s been since Christmas break that I’ve seen him. I was upset and missed him much but I’m extremely excited to see him!! I told him I was going to jump all over him when we reunite! I’m also stressing because I have a project that’s due tomorrow and I have no clue how I’m going to turn it because my flight is like at 9 in the morning. Hopefully it all works out…just pray!
