Righteousness

Today in my devotional time I felt that I needed to share this as well. All I have to say Thank you Jesus for you Grace!!!!! Hope you are encouraged by this!!!

30 Days with Paul- Women's Devotional Bible

Elusive Righteousness- Romans 3:9-26


  • Verses 9-20 pretty much states that we are full of sin, not righteous and under the law we would be considered not righteous.


“Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.” Romans 3:20 (NIV)


  • Verses 21-26 states the solution to the sin problem. It is redemption through Jesus.


“This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, For all all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that come by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:22-24 (NIV)


Thank you Jesus once again for your reminder of your grace.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Today is a difficult day. This was supposed to be my first Mother's day with my little girl. Instead she is in Heaven. I miss her like crazy. A friend sent me an email and she totally understands what I am going through. Then I started to think of my own Mom.

This is for you Mom! I am so blessed to have you in my life. You were there when I needed you the most. You supported me no matter what. Thank you for being you. I love you and wish you all the best!

Love, Anna

Mother's Day 2011



This weekend I am finding hard. I want to celebrate my Mom because she is an awesome woman! At the same time I am so sad because I am missing my girl. I just want to hold her and cuddle her. It hurts so much. I was determined not to go anywhere this weekend. I did go out a couple times. Honestly I couldn't go out once without someone wishing me a "Happy Mother's Day". You can't say much to them because they do not know me or know the past year has been like. So I hurry away to avoid having an emotional break down. It hurts so much. So if you happen to wish me a Happy Mother's day please do not get offended if I don't respond back. This is not an easy day.

Reflecting

Looking back to my feelings in the past couple weeks has been interesting. I have had my ups and downs. Realizing where God's hand has been. As much as my prayer was for Will to get back to work so we can stop depending on others to help us out. The lesson I have learned is depending on God to provide our needs and stop being so prideful. The hardest thing to accept is help from others.

For those who have helped us out in many ways I just want to say Thank you!

So my birthday/ Easter Weekend went well. It was busy. I spend it mostly with family. I just didn't want to make a big thing of my birthday. My 32nd Birthday was not very well, and it cast a shadow on my future birthdays. I didn't get my wish that Faith was going to be healthy. This year for my 33rd birthday I wanted to be pregnant, well that didn't happen. On a good note one of my birthday wishes came true and that was Will got a job. It was in the field that he went to school for. So I am very proud of him. Took 5 years after he completed his schooling to get somewhere.
