John 15:9-17

Well I've been kind of down today, but I'm pretty sure its just because I have the worst sinus headache ever! I normally hate complaining and I hate listening to people complain, but this just sucks! I was sick for two weeks, finally got better, and now its coming back! Really making me rethink getting married in January next year!! Its actually not, I just know to take plenty of vitamins next year to avoid this!

On a much, much happier note, today our friends Kaitlyn and Garrett found out they're having a baby GIRL! I am so happy for them! Babies are such a blessing, I love them. Even though Colby and I are going to wait a few years before we have kids, I can't wait until its time! I just would prefer to travel, be young, and have a steady income before I devote my life to cute little babies! Besides, I don't need kids when all of my friends have them, and I already pretty much have two (my dogs)! lol

Yesterday (Sunday) Colby and I went to church for the first time together! I hadn't been in years, and it had been even longer for him! I must say, it felt so right! We're planning on going regularly and joining a young couples Sunday school class! I know its what God wants me to do, and I love knowing I'm doing something right for him. Maybe one day I'll read the whole Bible and blog about it. You know, how I perceive certain passages and what I learn from them. I probably wont do that for a while though, at least until after I graduate.

Now, in case you're wondering why I made a scripture my "title" or what it even says (which I hope you are) I will now tell you :) My church has weekly scripture readings and this one was from last week, but when I read it, it really made me realize how we all need to change how we treat people!

  9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.


Love love love!
