~Love & Laughter~

Hello everyone! It has been a long time! I have learned so much over these past few years and I have SO much to write about! I noticed how childish some of my past posts were, but they were very funny and entertaining at the same time! Plus, I was a kid when I wrote them so it is very understandable for them to be the way they are. I will not delete my past writings, but I want to begin a new series of posts here on Homeschoolblogger.com. I wish to share my knowledge and past experiances with you, coupled with God’s Word, so that you may learn from my mistakes and grow in the Lord. I hope to be a witness for Him and not a stumbling block to anyone.

Please, I encourage you to always comment if you have any advice or see any error in my work. Questions are always welcome! I would love to discuss any topic with you!

About two months ago, I was visiting my grandparent’s church in Arkansas. A visiting pastor was speaking on the subject of perfect love. He used 1 John chapter 4 as his basis. God loves every one of us with a perfect love. We are able to show this love to others, although imperfectly, when we are His children, and continue to dwell in Him and His love. His message and the Holy Spirit greatly touched my heart.

During this time in my life I was struggling with being friends with a guy who really liked me, but I could not truthfully feel the same way as consistently as he did. I was constantly afraid of being hurt and even a bit afraid of this person. However, since he was a fellow Christian, and a new friend of mine, I wanted to make things work. I decided on being friends with him, which was best, because he was not the one for me.

This message helped me feel much better about this situation because 1 John 4:16-19 says, “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.”

Therefore, I prayed, and continually pray for wisdom in this area. Just because someone is a fellow Christian, does not mean that person will be the one soul mate for your life. However, allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct your life in this area, and all areas, and he will lead you away from enemies, towards friends, and eventually to your soul mate. In any relationship or situation having the perfect love that only God can give will cast out your fear. God will always take care of His people.

Jer. 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
