Matthew 26: 41


Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Mathew 26: 41

How often I get distracted.  I have so much going on, Mission work, my ACT, and then there's thinking about college.  I get so worked up, and stressed, trying to figure out how I'm going to get everything done, that I forget to Read my Bible, or I remember, and just put it off... planning to do it later... always later.   I forget to pray, and then when I do pray, It's more than often a short prayer, just so that I know I said my prayer.
My spirit is willing, I love reading my Bible, I love spending time in prayer with God.  But my flesh.. my flesh is so weak.  If I let my flesh control me, as I have before.  I don't read my Bible, and I forget to spend time in prayer.
When I am reading my Bible, and praying, I feel close to God, I am happy, but when I don't I "fall into temptation"  I do things I shouldn't, my mind wonders to places it shouldn't.
So today, I encourage you to read your Bible, Spend time, just sitting by yourself, praying, and getting closer to God.

anyways... I hope this short post made some sense :-)  Sometimes I have trouble getting my words out straight lol.

Love you all!

your sister in Christ,
Anna

His robes for mine, such anguish none can know. Christ, God's beloved, condemned as though His foe. He, as though I, accursed and left alone; I, as though He, embraced and welcomed home I cling to Christ, and marvel at the cost. Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God. Bought by such love, my life is not my own. My praise - my all, shall be for Christ alone.                                                  "God, I will do whatever You want, if . . . " Be careful of the conditional prayer that we as Christians (especially myself so often) make when feeling led by God to do something. He has already given His all - why do we still question whether or not we want to obey Him fully without reserve?

                         Thank you so much for your prayers and generous donation to my mission trip to Kenya, Africa.   Your prayers, and support  helped greatly.   God blessed, and worked greatly on my trip!  It was so amazing to see how God provided for my trip through all my friends and family.  I had an amazing summer in Kenya!  I spent a week in Wisconsin, training with my team.  Our training consisted of  team building, evangelistic training, and skill group training.  The skill group I was put in was puppets.  I loved being in puppets!  It was so much fun learning to dance and play.   While in Kenya, our ministry was in the slums of Nairobi.   We visited several childrens schools and orphanages.  We performed our puppet show for them, sang, played games, and danced.  We also made them dinner, an ethnic meal called “palau”, made up of rice, meat, and various seasonings.   It was a blessing getting to serve t
