This week has been crazy...I feel like I have gone non stop with no hope to stop. Even tho I have been REALLY busy I count it all blessings. Yesterday, I babysat Jax and Knox and I had a dr. appt so I brought them with me. My wonderful mother came and helped me with them and she is AWSOME! It was so sweet Jax came back with me and when they were wrapping the Blood Pressure cuff around my arm Jax freaked out...He thought they were hurting his "MANNY" it was so sweet it melted my heart! On another note, last night at church our youth minister, John, texted a few youth and asked them to come early. We had a special meeting about a leader in our youth. My husband and I help lead they youth along side a wonderful group of people. Among those people there is a young lady that is college age and she recently announced to some of us that she is pregnant. She is unmarried and the boy friend is not in the picture. Not only is she pregnant but she is 4 months pregnant, she has been keeping it a secret because of fear of what people would think. John announced to the youth that this is what is happening but he also told them that we are to be VERY supportive of her and not to talk about her and treat her as we would want to be treated if placed in that position. I was very proud of how John handled it and he also stressed that he does not agree or teach that it is ok but he did say that if that happened to anyone else we are to treat them with love also. It made me think about the way people view the leaders in life. Leaders are to be perfect in people eyes, really? you think so? The thing is leaders are people just like me and you, leaders are not perfect nor will they ever be! The only perfect leader was Jesus and he acted just like John asked us to act. When we sin and do things Jesus does not teach, does he turn his back on us? does he take his love away from us? does he take is offer of salvation away from us?.....NO HE DOES NOT! The valuable lesson I learned from this is that no matter what the circumstances you are going through in life Jesus never leaves us and he shows us love and support just like John asked us to do!
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you." So, we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
Hebrews 13:5-6
