| Hey all, for those who still read this blog. It has been 3.5 months since I have gotten married and 5 months that I have been back in the US. It is crazy with how life's events happen so quickly. I can remember very clearly sitting in my room in France writing entries every so often. The Lord has done much in the lives of people I know and myself since then. I am still learning and growing in Him. There is always plenty to expand in when it comes to learning to love. The amazing groom's name is Wes. The most awesome thing about him is his love for the Lord.

| freedom, grace, truth, love. four profound words. living in them...beautiful. how to do it...impossible by ourselves. we were given the ultimate example of unconditional love. love is present, relationship...not judgement of each and every detail of a person being bad or good, but a following to become better. this is only possible by receiving the strength of the One who made freedom, grace, truth, and love. "For in him we live and move and have our being." Acts 17:28
I leave France in a week from today. What I just posted above is the most profound concepts I have learned about this year. I have been stretched by Him through people...people that love others and life.

| so...i have been in France for the past 4.5 months and it has been amazing. the Lord has been doing some awesome things here amongst the students that i work with. i think i should start writing on this thing more so y'all can read about some of that stuff. sharing amazing things that He does is a privelege and honor. when people see His worth, majesty, love, it is a beautiful thing! | | |
| Love.
Matt 22
37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[a] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[b] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Love
all of 1 Cor 13
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love
Love
1 John 4
8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
That is it...LOVE!
