Another Beautiful Morning! Last night I slept really good. :-) For the last few nights I hadn't been sleeping very good. I would wake up at 2:00am and again at 4:00am. I finally get up at 4:30.
Yesterday, I stayed with Kaylee...we took a 45 minute nap. Kaylee woke herself up when she started coughing. :-( Poor Thing...
I've been going to interviews the last couple of weeks and I have three interviews this next week. There are so many jobs out there that I'd love to get. I've been telling everyone my situation and how UV and artificial light could effect me. Not sure if I should be telling them about my diagnosis??? Paul thinks I should...
I think it's only fair I am upfront with them from the beginning... :-)
So far I have no takers. :-( I still have one position that hasn't gotten back to me yet, of those I've been to.
I will trust God has it all in His hands.
Today, I am meeting my sister, Brenda, and my mom in Zumbrota for lunch. After lunch we are going up to see Gloria. I'm not sure how long she will be there. :-( It's been a long journey already. I hope and pray they can help Gloria find comfort and healing. Amen
I am so very blessed...

Today's Bible Study
Guilty No More
Read | Romans 5:8-9
How can we say that the Lord has declared us “not guilty” of our sin? The first thing we have to understand is that this act was completely God’s doing. We can do absolutely nothing to remove the stain of our own sin. It is for this reason that the Father sent His Son into the world.
The one satisfactory payment for sin is death (Rom. 6:23), and because God wanted to spare us that punishment, He provided the only way out. He gave the perfect sacrifice: His son, Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:8).
What did this loving act accomplish? It enabled us to approach almighty God as clean, pure, and holy men and women. Our purity is not related to anything we ourselves have done; it is due exclusively to the fact that we have been purified in Jesus’ blood. That’s why we can say we have been “washed in the blood,” which is the only way the stain of sin can be removed.
When we come into a saving relationship with Jesus, the first thing to happen is that we are justified—in other words, God declares us “not guilty.” This means that as believers, we can stand in the presence of a perfect, holy God, because He now sees us as His own children.
Am I saying we’ll never sin? No. However, when we place our faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, the penalty for all of our sin—past, present, and future—has been paid, and we will never face God’s condemnation (Rom. 8:1). Thank your heavenly Father today, not only for forgiving your sin, but also for freeing you from the burden of guilt.
Another great day to look forward to...
