"Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me His own...but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus"
-Philippians 3:12-14

1 Timothy 4:8


I got a letter in the mail today and it made me so happy! Recently, I have become a pen-pal of my 7 year-old cousin, Abby. Abby lives in Indiana with my Uncle Norm (aka Uncle Nick-Nock), my beautiful and wonderful Aunt Kimberly, and her younger siblings Luke and Mary-Claire. I haven't gotten to see them for a little over a year, but I like writing to Abby to hear what she is up to. Her letter today told me that I was a great cousin and she drew me a lot of cute and wonderful pictures. On a full sheet of paper, she told me about the Bible verse she's been learning. "Training the body has some value, but being godly has value in every way. It promises help for the life you are now living, and the life to come." -1 Timothy 4:8...Reading this made me so happy! It lifted my spirits and definitely reminded me of what I need to be doing daily, but it also ensured me that she is actively seeking the Lord and that she wants to share that with me! I absolutely loved it! Oh and I love the dance classes I'm taking! I'm learning so much about technique and really learning to enjoy it more...however, in ballet today, we did retire a passe and I am not very good at them when I have proper posture! But, at least I know what I can work on! Until next time...
