HOT HOT HOT!

Last night worship and church group devotion were awesome! We had a visit from Bro. Bill.! He came to pray for us. We talked about Love yesterday. We looked at the compassion and love of Jesus Christ. Our bible study was the story of Jonah. Jonah didn't want to show the love of Christ to the people that truly needed to see it. When Jonah told the fisherman to throw him off the boat to stop the storm they questioned him and told him no at first. They showed more compassion and love for Jonah than he was willing to show and they didn't even know God. We were sent to be servants of Christ and to show others his love. We also tried to show the students that love isn't just a feelin. It is more a decision, a choice, or an action. If we truly love others then we will be willing to serve them. Today we are talking about Obedience. I would tell you more about that, but that will have to wait until later because Leah and I missed bible study so that we could get pictures of the kids at recreation. They looked like they were having a blast. Except for the sweating part! ha. Before I finish, I want to share a quick personal story. Yesterday Leah and I made a decision to go a day without complaining. Boy is that harder than I thought it would be. We started at 6 this morning. When I got up and did my devotional, of course it was about being content and not complaining.!! God is so awesome and he wants us to do everything without complaining. He wants us to trust him and love him. Phillipians 4:12-13 says "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
