Here ya go...

I know that I am way over due for an update. I also want to be in bed in a few minutes. So this is a quick little glimpse of an update! These are just things that I've either learned or been thinking about this week.

1). When things are going well, rejoice in the sovereignty of God. When your whole world is turned up side down, rejoice in His sovereignty all the more.

2). Say what you believe and know to be true from the Word of God. Do so without apology. Only examine your motive before God almighty before doing so.

3). The fruit of your life is important. It reflects what is going on in your relationship with the Lord. Never be fooled into thinking that what you do, say and think doesn't matter. According to God, a good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit.

4). Refuse to make decisions based on what people will think of you. Only fear the opinion of a holy, sovereign and all-knowing God.

5). Your words can rip a person apart faster than a fully automatic weapon. Examine your words carefully before firing them in anger or frustration.

6). A successful and well spend day is a day in which you rise with a song of praise to the Lord, die to yourself throughout the day, and go to sleep knowing that there is nothing between you and your Savior.
