Last night Sis. Shelley spoke to us about how close we are to God. We all put our right elbows touching and at this point we were as close to God as we could get. Then she asked us questions that would cause us to either move away from God or grow closer. For example, she said, "if you've read your Bible everyday this week, take one step closer, and if not, take one step back." "If you've prayed at least three times this week, if you've witnessed to a friend, if you've argued with someone, etc. Wow, you should of seen us scatter. Needless to say, our elbows never did touch again. Then we all made one vow of what we would do this week to draw closer to God. I made a spoken vow and an unspoken vow. So far today, I've kept my vows, and now I just have to do it one day at a time.
She also spoke of how we are to show Christ's love to others and how maybe God puts you in the line with the grouchy cashier so you can smile and show His love. You may get the imcompetent teller so you can show God's love.
We were very excited and happy to have Christopher and Cody (Sis. Julie's step-sons) with us last night and they are planning to be back with us on Sunday.
After our devotional, we decorated boxes to use in collecting food for the Jackson House.
