Thankful Thursdays: Sanctification
There is nothing I can do by myself to become a better person. Yet somehow, slowly but surely God is doing something amazing in my life through the power of the cross to change who I was into who I am now. To make me patient, loving, kind, and self-controlled.

Make a difference Monday
I am substitute teaching for a month at the same school. If I wasn’t there, it wouldn’t be pretty. So I make a difference. Meanwhile, Friend* took me shopping today to stock up on a few more ‘summer clothes’ and that makes a huge difference for me, as will the new air mattress that doesn’t leak that I will have the privilege of testing out tonight.
