God's Slave

So on my phone one of my apps gives me a verse of the day and today's was 1 Peter 2: 15-16 and it says "For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slave" wow.... pretty challenging hu?! The whole idea of not using my freedom as a cover up for evil really made me stop and think. Too many times I think I'm doing pretty good but do I really consider myself as God's slave? I am going to really have to pray into that.... I am praying this week that I would desire that identity. I would love to be God's slave more then anything but that means that I am going to be challenged and stretched in ways that I cant even imagine... let's do it!

On Sunday I got the opportunity to go to saint jude hospital and pray for a sweet one year old named levi! He has a tumor right in the middle of his brain :( it was the saddest thing... but it was amazing to see the faith of the family and I was so encouraged by his mom! She was constantly exalting the Lord for the blessings that they have seen even through this hard time. It really made me think about how blessed I am with my health but also appreciate the strength of that little boy. He is a little soldier!

This morning I got to hear Dr. Sanchez speak during the worship time at my school and I loved what he had to say. I was so impressed by his wisdom. One of the things that really stuck out to me is when he was talking about the amazing relationship between The Lord and David. It's obvious in scripture that David was not perfect yet he was a man after God's own Heart. I would love to be known as a someone after God's own heart. That is so cool! anyways... I'm not very good at blogging yet but I'm sure I will get better! love you all! :)
