Emergency Phone Numbers: When in SORROW: John 14

John 14 (you should read all of it....I just picked some of my favorite verses)

• Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 
• I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 
• Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.  
• Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. \

When I read this chapter one theme sticks out at me: BELIEVE and this will give you comfort. I must believe that Christ is the TRUTH, the WAY, the the LIFE. Christ is the truth because he has fulfilled all the prophecies of him as our Savior.  He is the way that our prayers get to God as he intercedes for us every day sitting on the right hand of God. He is also the life because through his death our sins are paid for in full.

You'll be SOR-REE!

Adam and I just got back from a night on the town.  One of the stops that we made was Barnes and Nobles, one of my favorite stores, and I picked up what looks to be a wonderful book You'll Be Sor-ree!: A Guadalucanal Marie Rememebers the Pacific War.  This book interested me first because I love World War II history and secondly (and much more importantly) my grandpa and grandma both severed our Nation in the Pacific War.  On the back cover of the book there is a quote that I think sums up the feelings of many that serve our country "stood shoulder to shoulder with his Marine brothers to discover the inner strength and deep faith necessary to survive the dark, early days of WII in the Pacific."

Emergency Phone Numbers

I was given a list of Emergency Phone Numbers by a person at a nursing home that I use to work at.  I really admire this individual  very much.  She has suffer through so much in her life but yet always maintains a cheerful outlook on life.  I hope to post these numbers weekly on this blog with some thoughts from me sprinkled through out. 
Topics to look for:

• When in sorrow

• When people fail you

• If you want to be fruitful 

Dreams

I am dreaming about a day that is 4 months away.  The day that I can call you my husband. I dream for more than just that day.  I dream about our plans and hopes. I dream of the dog that we plan on getting; the children we hope to have; the house we want to remodel.  I dream of the memories that we will create. I know that life is not always going to be perfect but I know that between the two of us we can weather any storm.
