blind stab

SINCE WE HAVE NOW BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, HOW MUCH MORE SHALL WE BE SAVED FROM GOD'S WRATH THROUGH HIM. ROMANS 5:9

This is my blind stab verse for my blog today...

I like the way it reads in The Message version of the Bible. It says...Now that we are right with God by means of this sacrificial death, the consummate blood sacrifice, there is no longer a question of being at odds with God in any way. If when we are at our worst, we were put on friendly terms with God by the sacrificial death of his Son, now that we're at our best, just think of how our lives will expand and deepen by means of His resurrection life!

This is a hard verse for me to discuss.

I am hearing it say that because of the sacrificial death--we are saved from God's wrath. At our worst God saved us so of course He will save us when we are at our best. (Not sure if I am at my best--but I am working on it)

makes me think of this song it asks This is your life are you who you want to be? Whenever I hear it I am reminded of all the areas I want to improve.

I know I have much room for improvement but I am so much better then I used to be without God in my life. I need to remember that I have grown so much in the last few years of my life and since I have understood that I don't have to conquer this world alone.

I have been so blessed with amazing mentor-wise-friends-elders in my life. I totally prayed for them and God totally gave it to me and because of these ladies and God I am stronger, wiser and more ok in my own skin! Thank you Shellie, Pam, Lisa, Chela, Andria, Michele, Eileen. Thank you for always making time for me. Thank you for continuing to pour into me. Thank you for doing it without me even asking. Thank you for understanding my heart even when my words are all mixed up! Praise god for answered prayers!

ok---now I am gonna run and watch Dancing with the stars---is that bad??

goodnight!
