Words of Encouragement (You're Special)

1 Samuel 22-24, Luke 12:1-31
This is what I read today as part of my journey of reading the bible.

I especially loved 1Samuel24:13 As the old saying goes, 'From evildoers come evil deeds,' so my hand will not touch you. This was said by David to Saul while sparing his life. Saul chased David all over, and David ended up getting the jump on Saul when he went to "...relieve himself" (1Sam24:3). He spared Saul's life after Saul was trying to take his. Saul kiled the Priests of Nob (85 to be exact) by odering Doeg to take their lives. The many guards that King Saul commanded at his side would not do such a thing because these were priests of the Lord.

Luke 12:31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well
I fel like this verse summarizes the 30 before it. We worry about different things, but not about others, but the Lord wants us to not worry about anything but seeking his kingdom. What to wear today, what you will eat, or your body, are not things to worry about. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes (Luke 12:23). You are special, "the very hairs on your head are all numbered..." (12:7)

These words are very encouraging to me today, and I hope they are to you as well. Always remember how special you are and there should be no reason to worry, or frown. Smile for everyday is wonderful that you are able to wake up and give thanks to Him.

Dirty Laundry

Earlier today, I began a post called Glue. It talked about how women, despite how bad their relationship with a man,stick to them like glue. It started out as a childhood memory and turned into a 2000+ word entry. I went off on the keyboard. Something lately has allowed me to freely express myself on a keyboard even though I'm talking to no one. I remember the AIM days when I would chat with Sarah all day and night and I had witty, wonderful things to say for hours on end. I was "just that into her". The Glue post made me cry for about a minute because it was very personal and I think I realized some things not just about myself but my childhood. I hit post and then decided that this just wasn't the place for it. I saved it as a word doc and changed the post to what you see below... Twitter... Really? That post took me hours and maybe the stomach ache I had was the reason the words flowed effortlessly. As if they were coming from the soul as some would say. If anyone would ever like to read it, shoot me an e-mail. You'll understand why a blog is just not the place for that sort of thing.

Oh, and today was Rufus Green's last day. Master Betty took his place. Rufus was my Jetta, traded it at Toyota today. I took a picture of it as the salesman took it away. I will post about it tomorrow... Maybe.

Kung pow enter the fist is where I got master betty from.
