Immersed Challenge Update

I've made a decision, because I can't write on here everyday like I want-I simply don't have the time or resources-I've decided that I will pick one day a week to recap on what I've read. I think that would be easier on me, and it wouldn't be spamming up my posts every day with my challenge.

I think Friday might make a good day for this. Saturday I'm usually working, and Sunday I'm at church. So Friday sounds good.

So far, I've read Genesis 7. I'm to the flood. So, I've been thinking all day on how I should update all this. I still haven't made up my mind. I'll give a quick update either tomorrow, or Sunday if I have time, then I'll start posting about The Immersed Challenge on Fridays. Right now, I've gotta start to work.

Ciao!
Make it a blessing,

Sarah

P.S. I HAVE A VERY SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST: a very dear family friend of ours had their house burn down yesterday on Thanksgiving. I just want to ask that you all be praying for them. I can't imagine that happening to me....thanks! Have a great weekend! I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving! 

Immersed Challenge: Day 2

"And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."
Genesis 2:3

Good morning everyone! I'm so tired, but I'm about to get ready for church. Today I read the second chapter of Genesis. It talked about the seventh day and how God made woman from man. Praise God, He knew man would need a companion. He breathed a breath of life and man became a living soul.
God breathed life into us. We are made from God Himself! Isn't that something to be excited about?

Thank you, Jesus, for everything. Amen.

I'm keeping this short this morning because I'm writing this on my tablet and I'm not so good at it yet. So sorry for any spelling mistakes...
Have a blessed Sunday!

Sarah

Immersed Challenge

Hello everyone! I hope your day is going good so far! It's been a little bit since I've actually written. First I want to say thank you for everyone and your prayers when I requested it. I have a peace now about the situation that I know I wouldn't have been able to achieve without God and your support.

Everything is in His hands. Nothing goes through me without going through Him first. His plan.

Speaking of plans. I'm starting a reading plan. A reading challenge.

I've never been one to really get into my Bible every morning or every day like I should. I know God's word is crucial to being able to walk in love in His guidance. I finally found a plan that I think is going to get me on track. I started it this morning. It's supposed to take 365 days to complete. It's called the "Immersed Challenge".

The challenge is hosted by "more to be". You can find it here: http://www.moretobe.com/immersed/

I read Genesis 1 this morning. It was a blessing.

"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female he created them.
And God blessed them,"
 

-Genesis 1:27-28

Sometimes, getting back to the basics is exactly what you need. God is still blessing us. Still loving us. He loved us from the moment He created us, before even that. He knew every single one of us and had a plan for every person on this earth before we were born. Even knowing we would fail over and over...He died for us. Was tortured. Was beaten. Humiliated.
And He went through it all; for you and for me. For everyone. How could you deny someone's love after that?

I'll be posting (hopefully) everyday about every verse I read. If I miss a day, I'll post about the two verses that I've read and so on and so forth. 
I encourage you to take part in this challenge with me! Comment and let me know what you think. I'm really excited to take this journey with God. 

Make it a blessing,

Sarah

Prayer Request

I'm in a situation and I'm not sure what to do about it and it's putting me in a really bad mood because I can't get it out of my head. I know, I'm letting the devil win. I've prayed about this; it's going to be okay, but I can't stop worrying.
Pray for me please. This mood won't go away, and I'm about to go to work. I need God's strength 'cause I know I can't do this alone.

Make it a blessing, and thank you,

Sarah

I Need a Hobby

Seriously. I'm just sitting here.

For the past couple of months my Tuesday and Thursday afternoons have been filled with a lovely thing called "algebra". Well, my class finished out early this semester, so we don't have to come anymore (woot! woot!). I kept thinking "I'll be able to get the things I need to get done, actually done!".
I now found out that I really don't have that many things to do.

I mean, I have things that need doing (I need to finish a couple of gifts for Christmas and such...) but I'm just not in the crafty mood. I could go running; I need to start back on my exercise routine...but I'm just not in the mood for getting all sweaty...and I'm lazy.
(I'm planning on tackling that exercise plan soon though!)
(Really, I am.)
(I AM.)

I just need a hobby. There is only so much gaming I can do on Steam. Only so many books I can read. I don't know! I'm just in a funk I guess.

I partially know why.
I can't say though.
Not on here.

Not yet.

Just be praying for me! Promise the next post will be sooner and won't be so boring!

Make it blessed,

Sarah
