Hey Friends!!! Forgive me for being so absent from the blogosphere... I have no excuse. :P
So I'm going to begin by asking a favor of you... or rather ask you to do a favor for yourself. If you have time... please read 1 John 3:19-24. As an explanation of this post I have to tell you that I journal a lot... like A LOT. The way I journal is letters to God.... because that is how I acknowledge to him that he knows everything... and often it is so helpful to write down prayers. This is an entry I wrote earlier this month:

Dear Heavenly Father,
The concept that I have your spirit is so massive. The fact that you abide in me just blows my mind. I do believe in Christ Jesus but Lord I so often fail at loving others. I have but a hint of how much you love me, and the enormity of it does my head in, it really does. You say that if have confidence before God we will receive what we ask for. I ask as Solomon asked, I asked for wisdom. I also ask Father that you will give me your love for people. I can be so much in my head Lord that I lose my compassion. Help me to love by prayer for people, give me joy in serving people. May I have a servants heart and a humble mind to better serve you and others. Guide me, keep me, show me your for me. As you promise; "For I know the plans I have for you' declares the Lord, 'plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11) Keep me in the palm of your hand.
Thank you so much for the all the blessings you pour out on me.
Your girl;
Erin
I hope friends that this encourages you as it did me. Keep in the way of the Lord!!!
