Relationship Series: Day 4

Today's post is based on how to deal and cope with feeling alone and rejected by everyone! If you've ever felt alone or rejected than you know it can leave pain and leave you feeling terrible about yourself and sometimes it leaves scars on people and they can build up walls inside of them! But I'm here to tell you we are never alone no matter how much you may feel like it or think you are! YOU ARE NEVER ALONE! GOD IS AlWAYS WITH YOU! And rejection is just God's way of saying I've got something better for you!

BIBLE VERSES:

"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:3-5 KJV)

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

"The Lord will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:5)

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)

"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." (Psalm 9:9)

"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy" (Psalm 30:11)

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7)

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)

"Yes when you get serious about finding me and want it more that anything else, I'll make sure you wont be disappointed." (Jeremiah 29:13)

QUOTES:

"Just because they can't see your value, doesn't mean you aren't valuable. Some people are just blind to true beauty You're beautiful."

"Your hardest times will expose your truest friendships. ROCK BOTTOM will ALWAYS show you what's real. Know your circle." ~Trent Shelton

"Some steps need to be taken alone. It's the only way to really figure out where you need to go and who you need to be."

"In life, there are some people you're going to have to lose in order to find yourself."

"Don't let people that don't understand your vision keep you from living your dream. Just because they expect you to fail, doesn't mean you can't succeed. Just because they expect you to be nothing, doesn't mean you can't be something. What they label you as doesn't have nothing to do with the person you choose to be. Some people's goal is to keep you from success, so be mindful of the opinions you choose to entertain."

"There is no FRIENDSHIP, no RELATIONSHIP, no CHAMPIONSHIP, no OWNERSHIP that will satisfy any of your desires in this life like a relationship with God Almighty."

"When you are truly in love, you will go to great lengths to with the one you love. You'll drive hours to be together, even if it's only for a short time. You don't mind staying up late to talk. Walking in the rain is romantic and not annoying. You'll willingly spend a small fortune on the one you are crazy about. When you are apart from each other, it's painful, even miserable. He or she is all you think about; you jump at any chance to be together. We need to be like this with God." ~Francis Chan

____________________________________________________

As you've seen above from the numerous examples, God won't leave you. When He says "I Love You", He doesn't mean until the next greatest person is born. He means forever, eternally, never stopping, unconditionally, and more. People fail you. It happens. That's why you cant rely your happiness on people. You have to rely it on Jesus!

Love you guys!! Thanks for the read!

Always, Morgan & Savannah

Relationship Series: Day 3

Today's post is some questions submitted by anonymous readers. We try our best to answer these from a biblical standpoint. If these bring up more questions-or you'd like to discuss it-private message us. I hope you enjoy and take to heart these answers. (Some of these questions were asked more than once so it's not just you wondering!)

Q. As a Christian, how far is too far?

A. Now this is a common question among teens that are religious or not. Let's get this straight. Any sex before marriage is not okay! "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. (Hebrews 13:4)" You get that? ANY type. Even if you have to stop for three seconds and think to yourself is this considered sex avoid it! That simple. 

But that answer doesn't settle well with most teens so let's dig a little deeper. When "in the moment", at any time if you feel uncomfortable-STOP-and move. Something isn't right. Get up and away to think about what is going on. Is a hug too far? No. Is that where you must stop? Not necessarily but I would stay away from anything that would create lustful thoughts or actions such as "making out", sitting in each other's laps, laying down together (especially sharing a blanket), and more. If you're in an intimate position, more than likely things won't go well. Just don't put yourself into a position to wonder how far is too far. Treat yourself with respect and honor and do the same for your mate.

Q. Would stepping into a relationship become a distraction when pursuing Jesus?

A. I think this depends on the guy/girl your dating or talking too and his/her beliefs! First and foremost do they believe in God? Are they saved is the first question you need to know because if they're not saved than there's no way that you would be able to have God in your relationship at all nor do you need a relationship with this person. Especially if your wanting a good Christian guy/girl to connect with about God! Secondly, if they are saved you need to know where you two would stand spiritually and discuss each other's morals. Just because they are a Christian DOES NOT mean you would be compatible spiritually or morally (even Christians make mistakes Don't forget)! Lastly, if you are trying to keep your relationship with God and find dating a distraction that comes between you and God. If you find that everyone you date is bad for you, than it might be better to just stay single. That doesn't mean you shut down every door either if you think that a person is right you should defiantly give that person a chance. Also remember your morals and values and what your looking for! Single should be a time you use to connect with yourself and God and understand what you want in a relationship so when the right person comes along you will know! And being single means you can PRAY for the right person to come along! Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. "Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored." (Romans 8:5-8 MSG)

Q. How does God help you maintain a healthy relationship?

A. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV)" So now that we have got that part covered, let me tell you something. If this is a relationship that glorifies God, He will make sure it is a healthy one. See question below on whether or not your relationship is Godly. Just seek God out through your relationship and keep Him centered at all times and it'll be healthy. 

Q. How do you put out a good impression, so you can be friends with a person that is not Christian?

A. You should always live like Jesus would want you too! Show your friend there is a God through love and understanding! And never judge them for not being a Christian even if they may judge you because if they judge you it's because they don't understand and you have to be the one to help them understand simply by living a Christian lifestyle!  If we truly love others and live as Christ did in this world, we won't be worried about the day of judgment. A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learnt to love. We love because God loved us first. But if we say we love God and don't love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don't love the people we can see? The commandment that God has given us is: “Love God and love each other!” (1 John 4:17-21 CEVUK00)

Q How do you tell if this relationship is of God?

A. First once again let's take a look at both of your beliefs. God commands us "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? (II Corinthians 6:14 NKJV)" This says you must be equally yoked. That doesn't mean the other person says sure I believe in God and you hope like crazy they'll convert after you two are together. It doesn't work that way. You must be equal before any commitment is made. With this being said you both need to have equal goals. Such as are you both interested in ever being married, are children okay with that person? Just keep these things in mind. Honesty is important. Without this simple thing no relationship can stand. Honesty is the key. You need to enjoy yourselves. Find joy in doing things together, for example going to church, walking in the park, simple things you enjoy just in the presence of each other. Lastly God will give you this out of the world, supernatural, crazy love for each other. "And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” (I Peter 4:8 NKJV)" See this? You must love each other unconditionally. Just as Jesus loved the Church.

Q. How do u ask if they are Christian, without asking them directly? 

A. One way you can ask is simply by asking if they go to church?. Another way you can find out is if you refer back to our Relationship Series Day 1, it's talks about a relationship with God and there was a list and one of the things on there we're to test people and see if they are a Christian. Another way is you could invite them to church. And sometimes their actions you can tell by what they do! Though I'm not saying if they do bad things they're not a  Christian, even Christians make mistakes but bad decisions sometimes can result in not being a Christian!  

God was pleased for all of himself to live in Christ. And through Christ, God has brought all things back to himself again—things on earth and things in heaven. God made peace through the blood of Christ’s death on the cross. At one time you were separated from God. You were his enemies in your minds, and the evil things you did were against God. But now God has made you his friends again. He did this through Christ’s death in the body so that he might bring you into God’s presence as people who are holy, with no wrong, and with nothing of which God can judge you guilty. (Colossians 1:19-22 NCV)

Q. Do you always have faith when problems occur?

A. I think this is a great question we should always ask ourselves. Not just in relationship situations but every situation. I don't think this needs an explanation but it was worth adding! (:

I hope you took something of worth from this. Once again hit us up with more questions or comments! We'd love to hear from you!

Love you guys! Savannah & Morgan!!

Relationship Series: Day 2

This post is based on what standards and expectations you should have in any relationship as a Christian! Whether it's a relationship with friends, family, or you are single! Any relationship as a Christian should be based on God and centered around him and that's where all your values and morals should come from and before you get in any kind of relationship you need to be sure you have God in your own relationship between you and him because that's important it helps to know who you are and what you're looking for and what you want! "Through Jesus everyone who believes is put in right relationship with God. "(Acts of the Apostles 13:39 CEB)

**These are not in any order!**

1. Christ-Centered

Any relationship you're in, as a Christian, should defiantly be a God-centered relationship. If you don't have God in your relationship, (when you're relationship gets rough) you won't have anything to keep you together! Also if one person in the relationship has a better relationship with God and wants to be able to talk about God in their relationship and feels they can't so much, it will be hard to understand each other and their morals because they're not on the same page spiritually.

2. Live realistically. 

When you think about it, we all have that celebrity crush-Megan Fox, Johnny Depp, or even Alex Pettyfer. These crushes are the ones we look towards as role models but even more then that. We start to compare everyday people to these impossible stars. We live in fantasy worlds. Do yourself, and your partner a favor, live realistically. Don't compare your significant other to a character. Love them for who they are and respect that. Trust me no one can live up to Zac Efron standards! Did you get that? NO ONE. Because he is just one person who is himself. Let your mate be themselves too. Also you want that fairy tale ending? Guess what. Those are only movies. But you can find true bliss in the arms of Jesus. Refer to #1 with that. :))

#3. Have morals and values. 

This has a lot to do with how you view yourself. "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. (1 Peter 3:3, 4 NIV)" This are great verses to kind of tell you where beauty comes from-within. With that being said tell your mate what you hold for yourself. For example if you don't find it moral to drink hold your ground. (I don't thinks it immoral to drink if your of age and doing it responsibly. Just an example.) You should be able to talk freely about that and any other values you may have or they have. Remember to listen and take what they have to say into consideration. 

#4. Have relationship goals

So many times in teen relationships you see people dating just to date. Personally I don't see the problem in being single, but hey. If you can't see yourself married to this person, why date them now? A great role model of mine, Jarrid Wilson, once posted "Not ready for a serious relationship? Then stop dating. You're confusing hearts and hurting souls." I think he put it quite well. Have goals. Talk it out. See what kind of future is possible between the two of you. The unknown is not a spot to be in. 

5. Your Body is your temple

If your in a relationship and the person your with is trying to make you give into temptations (like sex) and you just don't want too cause you respect yourself, your religion and you're just not ready, you tell that person NO!! If they don't respect you,do not give in. That just means that person is wrong for you. Always remember your body is your temple of the Holy Spirit as it said in the bible! Never let anyone make you feel bad for what you believe!

"Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; he bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God's glory" (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 GNT)

So as you can see we have named 5 standards and expectations that are needed in a relationship on the road to success! Take these to heart and really pray about them. 

If you have any questions or any more standards or expectations you've found that have worked feel free to leave us a comment ! 

Thanks for all the love and support ! ~Savannah & Morgan!

Relationship Series: Day 1

Hey everyone ! This is Day 1 of our 5 Day Relationship Series. How better off to start this then with the best relationship ever-Ours with Christ. Today's post is going to show us what does a relationship with God look like?

Here's two verses to read real quick. 

_______________________________

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. (1 John 1:1, 2 NIV)

_______________________________

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— (John 1:12 NIV)

_______________________________

What are the essentials? Here's a list we have came up with based off those verses:

1.Through Jesus we have a relationship with God

This is the message we heard from Christ and are reporting to you: God is light, and there isn’t any darkness in him. If we say, “We have a relationship with God” and yet live in the dark, we’re lying. We aren’t being truthful. But if we live in the light in the same way that God is in the light, we have a relationship with each other. And the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from every sin. If we say, “We aren’t sinful” we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we’ve done wrong. If we say, “We have never sinned,” we turn God into a liar and his Word is not in us. (1 John 1:5-10 GW)

2. Those who know Christ obey his commandments

We are sure that we know Christ if we obey his commandments. The person who says, “I know him,” but doesn’t obey his commandments is a liar. The truth isn’t in that person. But whoever obeys what Christ says is the kind of person in whom God’s love is perfected. That’s how we know we are in Christ. Those who say that they live in him must live the same way he lived. (1 John 2:3-6 GW)

3.Don't love the world

Don’t love the world and what it offers. Those who love the world don’t have the Father’s love in them. Not everything that the world offers—physical gratification, greed, and extravagant lifestyles—comes from the Father. It comes from the world, and the world and its evil desires are passing away. But the person who does what God wants lives forever. (1 John 2:15-17 GW)

4.live in Christ

Make sure that the message you heard from the beginning lives in you. If that message lives in you, you will also live in the Son and in the Father. Christ has given us the promise of eternal life. I’m writing to you about those who are trying to deceive you. The anointing you received from Christ lives in you. You don’t need anyone to teach you something else. Instead, Christ’s anointing teaches you about everything. His anointing is true and contains no lie. So live in Christ as he taught you to do. (1 John 2:24-27 GW)

5.we are God's children 

Now, dear children, live in Christ. Then, when he appears we will have confidence, and when he comes we won’t turn from him in shame. If you know that Christ has God’s approval, you also know that everyone who does what God approves of has been born from God. (1 John 2:28, 29 GW)

6.Love one another 

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love other believers. The person who doesn’t grow in love remains in death. Everyone who hates another believer is a murderer, and you know that a murderer doesn’t have eternal life. We understand what love is when we realize that Christ gave his life for us. That means we must give our lives for other believers. Now, suppose a person has enough to live on and notices another believer in need. How can God’s love be in that person if he doesn’t bother to help the other believer? Dear children, we must show love through actions that are sincere, not through empty words. This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and how we will be reassured in his presence. Whenever our conscience condemns us, we will be reassured that God is greater than our conscience and knows everything. Dear friends, if our conscience doesn’t condemn us, we can boldly look to God and receive from him anything we ask. We receive it because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him. (1 John 3:14-22 GW)

7.test people who say they have God's spirit 

Dear friends, don’t believe all people who say that they have the Spirit. Instead, test them. See whether the spirit they have is from God, because there are many false prophets in the world. This is how you can recognize God’s Spirit: Every person who declares that Jesus Christ has come as a human has the Spirit that is from God. But every person who doesn’t declare that Jesus Christ has come as a human has a spirit that isn’t from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that you have heard is coming. That spirit is already in the world. (1 John 4:1-3 GW)

8.God's love lives in his people 

Dear friends, we must love each other because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born from God and knows God. The person who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, because God is love. God has shown us his love by sending his only Son into the world so that we could have life through him. This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the payment for our sins. Dear friends, if this is the way God loved us, we must also love each other. No one has ever seen God. If we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. We know that we live in him and he lives in us because he has given us his Spirit. We have seen and testify to the fact that the Father sent his Son as the Savior of the world. God lives in those who declare that Jesus is the Son of God, and they live in God. We have known and believed that God loves us. God is love. Those who live in God’s love live in God, and God lives in them. (1 John 4:7-16 GW)

9. Those who believe in Jesus are God's Children 

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has been born from God. Everyone who loves the Father also loves his children. We know that we love God’s children when we love God by obeying his commandments. To love God means that we obey his commandments. Obeying his commandments isn’t difficult because everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world. Who wins the victory over the world? Isn’t it the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:1-5 GW)

10.Conclusion

We are confident that God listens to us if we ask for anything that has his approval. We know that he listens to our requests. So we know that we already have what we ask him for. If you see another believer committing a sin that doesn’t lead to death, you should pray that God would give that person life. This is true for those who commit sins that don’t lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I’m not telling you to pray about that. Every kind of wrongdoing is sin, yet there are sins that don’t lead to death. We know that those who have been born from God don’t go on sinning. Rather, the Son of God protects them, and the evil one can’t harm them. (1 John 5:14-18 GW)

11.Greeting

From the church leader. To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love because we share the truth. I’m not the only one who loves you. Everyone who knows the truth also loves you. (2 John 1:1 GW)

12. Living in truth 

From the church leader. To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love because we share the truth. I’m not the only one who loves you. Everyone who knows the truth also loves you. (2 John 1:1 GW)

13. Reject teacher who don't teach what christ taught 

Everyone who doesn’t continue to teach what Christ taught doesn’t have God. The person who continues to teach what Christ taught has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring these teachings, don’t take him into your home or even greet him. Whoever greets him shares the evil things he’s doing. (2 John 1:9-11 GW

_______________________________

You have to have an intimacy with God. You need to spend quiet one on one time with Him. He expects that. He wants to be your first thought when you wake up and your last when you go to sleep. He wants to be able to talk with you. Guide you as you go on your journey. Your relationship needs to never stop growing. You have to always go after His heart and keep reading and studying Him to learn more. You can never know all of what your Creator is. 

_______________________________

I believe having an relationship with God is an important thing that you should have and want because having a relationship with God can get you through anything and help you have a better relationship with yourself and peers because you will be able to see yourself and others through his eyes! 

Do you love me?

Read these two passages from the Bible. :)

John 18:15-27(MSG)

15-16 Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was known to the Chief Priest, and so he went in with Jesus to the Chief Priest’s courtyard. Peter had to stay outside. Then the other disciple went out, spoke to the doorkeeper, and got Peter in.

17 The young woman who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “Aren’t you one of this man’s disciples?”

He said, “No, I’m not.”

18 The servants and police had made a fire because of the cold and were huddled there warming themselves. Peter stood with them, trying to get warm.

19-21 Annas interrogated Jesus regarding his disciples and his teaching. Jesus answered, “I’ve spoken openly in public. I’ve taught regularly in meeting places and the Temple, where the Jews all come together. Everything has been out in the open. I’ve said nothing in secret. So why are you treating me like a conspirator? Question those who have been listening to me. They know well what I have said. My teachings have all been aboveboard.”

22 When he said this, one of the policemen standing there slapped Jesus across the face, saying, “How dare you speak to the Chief Priest like that!”

23 Jesus replied, “If I’ve said something wrong, prove it. But if I’ve spoken the plain truth, why this slapping around?”

24 Then Annas sent him, still tied up, to the Chief Priest Caiaphas.

25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was back at the fire, still trying to get warm. The others there said to him, “Aren’t you one of his disciples?”

He denied it, “Not me.”

26 One of the Chief Priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”

27 Again, Peter denied it. Just then a rooster crowed.

____________________________________

John 21:15-19(MSG)

15 After breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Master, you know I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16 He then asked a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”

“Yes, Master, you know I love you.”

Jesus said, “Shepherd my sheep.”

17-19 Then he said it a third time: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was upset that he asked for the third time, “Do you love me?” so he answered, “Master, you know everything there is to know. You’ve got to know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. I’m telling you the very truth now: When you were young you dressed yourself and went wherever you wished, but when you get old you’ll have to stretch out your hands while someone else dresses you and takes you where you don’t want to go.” He said this to hint at the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And then he commanded, “Follow me.”

________________________________________

I want you to take a moment and read these two pieces of scripture. I'm sure as Christians we've all heard these stories bunches of times. But let's look at them. The first passage in John 18, we see Jesus is being crucified and in order to save himself: Peter denies Jesus 3 times. You get that? Not once or even twice. THREE times. Wow. Well then we skip past the resurrection and now we're in John 21. Here we see Jesus asking Peter does he love Him? And then demands him to feed his flock. Now that chapter is another message in itself so stay on track with me. Jesus ask Peter does he love Him. How many times? Ahhhh. You see where I'm going. Three times. Jesus says Peter do you love me. Of course lord. Peter do you love me. Of course lord. And the third time Peter gets a little agitated as would we being asked repetitively the same question. He pretty much says God you know everything. You already know the answer to your question. And Jesus answer is the same. Now let's compare the two because I don't know if you're getting the comparison here. 

Peter denied Jesus, how many times? Three. 

Jesus asked Peter do you love me, how many times? Three. 

Hmmmmm. 

Now God, you know being God, could have chosen anyone for Jesus to go to about feeding his flock, but why did He choose Peter? Stay with me as we put the pieces together. 

This is a message on Grace. And Grace alone. 

I think this passage is significant for many reasons but the one for this message is based on forgiveness. Jesus had already known Peter was to deny him. He says so in John 13:38(MSG). He said before the rooster crows you will deny me three times. Hmm. And that happened. So if Jesus knew it and informed Peter of what was to come and get this *he still denied Jesus* then why in the world would Jesus forgive Peter? 

Jesus is an all loving, all sacrificing God. He loves you despite your sins. When God looks down on you, he doesn't see your sin: He sees His Son. "What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus". Wow. 

John 21 is a passage that shows us God still cares for you no matter how many times you mess up. No matter how many times you sin, curse, slide off, or deny him. He still loves you and God still sent His Son to die for you. You are worth it. 

A very godly mentor in my life shared this with me. G. R. A. C. E. stands for God's Riches At Christ Expense. Does this not perfectly describe Grace?! Jesus Christ died and despite Peter denying Him 3xs God still kept Peter in His arms. 

My challenge for you today is to thank God today. He not only sent His Son to wash away your sins but **Every. Single. Day.** He forgives and forgives and get this forgives even more. 

Go with Peace today my Brothers and Sisters. Find that Joy in the fact that You Are Loved! 

Love you guys! Praying for you all!
