Encouraging words:
Reading day 9 I realized while I do not
tear people down through humor or teasing I do not always build them up. It is
a conscious effort I must make to use my words and actions for building another
person up rather than to tease in humor and tear them down. I chose 3 people to
“build up” today.
“With the
tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been
made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth comes praise and cursing. My
brothers, this should not be.”
James 3:9-10
Everyone’s Battle:
Day 10 talks about battles we face that cause us to stray from “pure,
positive, powerful, lives for God.” I started a husband journal (a book of
letters) in High school so one day I can share them with the man I will one day
marry. Writing in this book is a great way I can show whomever I will marry
that I am devoted to God. Day 10 encourages us when we are tempted with moments
that may hinder our future marriage to find a distraction (such as saying “Jesus”
or wearing a rubber band and snapping it) to remind us who our focus is and where
it should be. What a great reminder it is to stay devoted to Christ though
prayer, scripture and other believers.
“Take captive
every thought to Christ Jesus.”

Corinthians 10:5
I've been praying more, complaining the same, and growing with God
slowly. Every day is a new day that belongs to God. This is why I am here; to
bring God glory.
