Paitence is key... :)

So, we meet again, ehh?

Jess here. Patience is something I am struggling with right now. What about you? Well my ten year old step brother has flown in today. He will be staying until July 9th, I believe. This is the longest he's stayed yet, and his third visit. He feels very at home, yeah, thats a kind way to word it. Hahaha. He's not that bad. But anyways... I am working on being patient with him. I was an only child until my dad got married, so this is quite difficult for me. But it's things like this I like to turn to the Bible for advice.
Check out Galatians 5:22-23, yep, this refers to the fruits of the Spirit. Patience is one of them.
I am really digging Ephesians 4:2, "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." (NIV) I will definitely keep this verse in mind as I go through my summer. :)
So who or what are you struggling being patient with? Why? Pray to be better. Pray that God will give strength, and fill your heart with compassion. Pray that He will give you wisdom, and guard your tongue so that you will not hurt anyone when you may loose you're patience.

Well good luck! :)

"But the Spirit produces the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfullness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law that says these things are wrong."

Hmmm.....

Hey Y'all!

This is Jess! Madds and I decided to start a blog with devotions, and funny stories, and whatever we feel like!!!! Yes, we may seem kinda young to this, but hey! 1 Timothy 4:12 says,

"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young , but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." (NIV)

This is our main purpose! :) Hehe, Madds's mom suggested the idea of a blog, and After seeing our youth minister's wife's blog, it seemed like a GREAT idea, so here goes nothing! :) Lol.
