These are just some points I jotted down during our Ladies Retreat the begining of Oct. I just find them very uplifting and thought I would share.
We're all born into sin. Once we get saved we still have that sinful nature/old nature.
---Spirit and Flesh are always at war.
---Whichever once[spirit/flesh] you feed more is the one that will win.
*God's love is not earned, its unconditional! He will always love you and me no matter what happens in our lives or what we do.
~We are all created for God's pleasure & for His Glory. He's not here for our plans, we're here for His.
God is soveriegn. Meaning: He is in control of everything and over everything!
^If Satan touches anyone [family, friends, ect] it is God's will. Satan does not go out of the Lord's will. He cannot.
**Nothing happens by accident! Everything has a reason, we just might not ever know it!
+Don't worry about tomorrow, God's already there!
~We have free choice, but He knows what we will choose before hand, therefore, He always has a plan.
^Don't take life for granted. Don't assume you'll be an old person when you die.
*Live everyday, like its your last.
-Sin always brings consequences.
We need to learn that its not on our time, He knows when we're ready for certain things in our lives [ministry, marriage, children, ect]. He knows when we're ready for the next step.
Col 1:16-18
He brings difficulties for His reasons.
Deut. 8:2
He tests us. He humbles us. He refines. us.
Question:
How intimate are you with the Lord?
The real question is: Not what we're doing fo rHim but how welldo we know Him personally?
Our we "all ear"? Most of us are all mouth...we need to learn to listen to Him.

Have you ever heard this saying: "God gave us two ears and one mouth so we would listen twice as much as we talk."
These are great notes; thanks for sharing them with us.
Amen! Thanks for sharing:)
