A Snippet - Colossians 3:23

-
     Hey guys! I haven't been posting for a while. But now that summer is starting I hope to post at least every other week. I will give you an update on scheduling soon.
     Anyway, you might be wondering what's up with the title. A snippet? 
     Yes! I will post a snippet of a story with no context once a month on the first Monday. So here is the first story snippet and please look out for the rest!

First Snippet


     Almost every time, my friends were there waiting for me. On days where it was pretty calm, Mama watched Wyatt and Rico. If it was a busy day, I had to babysit. My friends were pretty cool about it, though. They helped me a lot. By the time their parents came to pick them up my younger siblings were worn out and calm. Sometimes they even fell asleep in the yard.
     We go home, all of the Cortneys together. Usually Mama started dinner before we left the house, so when we returned home she would finish cooking. Us kids were to finish any homework and then set the table, take showers for the next day, and pick up toys. Anything that needed to be done. I often complained about having to put away Paulina, Wyatt, and Rico's things, but Paula always reminded me to do everything without grumbling or arguing. She'd say, "Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart, as working for the Lord." (Colossians 3:23)

Don't step out on your own

  Stepping out on your own should be scary.      Everyone likes to go with the flow. Some people, like me, dream of doing things differently. We see these movies and videos everywhere about people who made a difference, a change in the world, by turning a different way from the rest of the world. What everyone else said was right might have been wrong. Or maybe people were making choices, but somebody realized there's a better way and acted on it. Whatever the reason, whether anyone stood by them or not, these people did what they thought was right. They went a new way.      Now being alone is scary. It's much easier to follow a path someone else has travelled than to pave your own. Have you ever wanted to step onto an unknown path, but instead planted your foot in dense jungle, so you immediately retreat back to the main road? Yeah! That unknown path you were looking for, it was created by somebody else. There's nothing unknown about it. And all the c...

Galations 5 | Burning Ships and Not Looking Back

 Does Burn the Ships Mean Forget the Past? (How do I not look back?)       Galations 5:1      For freedom CHRIST has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.      So all who have faith in JESUS, that he died for our sins and rose again so that one day, either when we die or on the last day, we he will bring us to life in heaven with Him, are free. All that believe in JESUS are free. But how do we stand firm? And what is a yoke of slavery?      Well, to answer the first question, let me say this: we cannot do any good thing, or even anything at all on our own. Standing firm requires faith and trust. According to biblekeeper.com, "Faith is the first step, where individuals choose to believe in GOD's promises and redemptive plan." "Trust is a deep belief and reliance on GOD's character, wisdom, and promises. It acts as a steadfast foundation,  particularly when faced with trials t...
