I'm SO excited to continue in this challenge with you!! I really want our lives to look like Love, be transformed from the inside out. How beautiful it would be if God's people truly lived in His love... ♥<br /><br />How has Project Love been going for you? And how's your precious baby brother? I'm praying for you today, Ariel.

Not the best time, I suppose. =) But yes, I'm excited to start it soon! Hopefully it will be a good way to force myself to reach out in Jesus' Name when I normally wouldn't. Several siblings are doing it with me, so it will be fun to challenge each other. =)<br /><br />Yes, distractions are certainly from the enemy. Strange how he uses even good things to make us lose sight us. I'm so thankful that I don't have to fight in my own strength. Jesus is so much stronger. And all my fellow warriors in Christ are blessings...watching each other's back in the battle. =)<br /><br />Enjoy your sleep. =) I appreciate your prayers so much, dear friend. ♥Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642116212694770214.post-9052294012331909202017-09-10T03:12:32.103-05:002017-09-10T03:12:32.103-05:00Hey! :) Thanks for letting me know about the cours...Hey! :) Thanks for letting me know about the course! It looks really interesting. Unfortunately the live sessions end up being in the middle of the night for me, and I saw it was a requirement to attend them. :( I had a look around the website, and it looks like an incredible resource! I like the idea of students teaching and learning from each other (as well as from adults too). I hope the evangelism course is a blessing to you, and I'm eager to hear how you find it, and what experiences you have!<br /><br />Mmm, I hear you on that one. It's annoying how busyness creeps in and distracts! Keep being determined to live for Him - and that's so good you've already thought out some strategies. It always encourages me somehow too, to remember we're fighting a spiritual battle, and these things are the enemy's way of trying to get us to give in. But we know Who's already won the victory!<br /><br />I appreciate you too. :) Sending hugs back, and praying you find His strength to love on!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543574650970283141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642116212694770214.post-59496818358709000412017-09-09T20:15:22.808-05:002017-09-09T20:15:22.808-05:00Don't you wish sometimes that we always got ou...Don't you wish sometimes that we always got our way, Sarah? xD Haha. But it's true. When I see people living for themselves, they are never truly happy. Submission can be hard - but it's a beautiful thing.<br /><br />Your comments make me smile. =) Love you, sweet Sarah.Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642116212694770214.post-24572179718062364682017-09-09T20:13:10.178-05:002017-09-09T20:13:10.178-05:00You too, Tizzie! *hugs* Thanks for the encourage...You too, Tizzie! *hugs* Thanks for the encouragement. =)Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642116212694770214.post-64330125202157679992017-09-09T20:10:55.242-05:002017-09-09T20:10:55.242-05:00Yayyyy! Your comment posted! =)
Wow...yes, it d...Yayyyy! Your comment posted! =)<br /><br />Wow...yes, it does feel like it's been a while since the last Project Love post. Life has been crazy. How have you been able to put love into practice, Leona? For me, I'm striving to see everything as Christ does, doing it for His glory. Sadly, I often fall short.<br /><br />Praise God that He offers second chances! (and third, fourth, fifth...) He's so amazing. It's odd how easy we lose sight of His beauty, when He's all that really matters.<br /><br />I'm glad you could comment! =) And your name is so pretty - Leona Ruth. I like it. =)<br /><br />Keep living for Jesus, my friend!Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642116212694770214.post-61287830197798419172017-09-09T19:55:24.924-05:002017-09-09T19:55:24.924-05:00Hey Jess. =) I'm going to skip down to your ...Hey Jess. =) I'm going to skip down to your comment. (feel very honored) =) Actually, I wanted to answer your question before time slipped by too quickly.<br /><br />I'm taking the evangelism course through Empowered Academy. It's a free online school that encourages teachers and students to use their gifts for God. I taught a class through it in the spring semester, actually. Here's a link:<br />http://empowered.academy/classes/fall-2017-classes/evangelism-101/<br />Registration is still open, just to let you know. ;) The class starts on Wednesday. They also let teenagers teach online, which was a great experience for me. So...maybe you'd enjoy looking around the website. It's not professional, but it is centered to glorify Christ.<br /><br />Now, back to your comment. =)<br /><br />I'm so glad that the post touched you in a personal way! Although I made the decision to follow God's will in this area (or at least what I believe to be His will), it hasn't been going as well as I would like. This month somehow got crazy busy. I'm involved in activities every day with not much time to simply relax in His presence. So it's been hard. I need God's help (and to ask my sisters to keep me accountable). But this isn't just a monthly challenge; it's the practice of living in and for Him.<br /><br />Thank you for the encouragement, especially in that beautiful verse. I appreciate you so much, Jessica. *hugs*Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642116212694770214.post-90925302435327734252017-09-09T12:56:56.282-05:002017-09-09T12:56:56.282-05:00THIS IS JUST ABOUT THE COOLEST POST EVER.

I know God is going to use that in amazing ways. <3 This is such a cool story, and it is totally awesome to see how God is working in your life. And I completely understand, it's hard to surrender--but it is ALWAYS worth it. Every single time. <br /> And of course I will join you in this challenge--I look forward to your next post!

And this post convicted me in a personal way too. Thank you. God should never have to wait. <br /><br />"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.

I've been missing the regular posts on Project Love (I know there was one on the 22nd, but that seems so long ago ;). I'm grateful for your example of serving God even when you want to do other things. :) <br />I'm excited to see the next post for Project Love! :)<br /><br />In Christ,<br />Leona RuthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
