:)

Hello everybody!
I am guilty of withholding this from you for about a week now. I just couldn’t get myself to post it, but I realized that it was once again pride :P keeping me from doing so!
SO!! :D here it is.
I was reading Romans 8 with a sister of mine, and even though I have read it before
It’s amazing how you can get something new out of it each time!
Lately I’ve been feeling sort of restless, jaded, etc, etc, Not trusting God!
I know that I should trust God, my life is in his hands and whatever he does with it is his perfect plan for me. But Sometimes I just want the answers now!! I want to see a little bit into my future. I keep asking God "what do you have in store for me?" I know this might sound terrible but this is the way I’ve been lately. : P
Well… He gave me this.
28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
34 who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Even as it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 it is after reading all that, then can I say; For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. WOW!! :)
I get easily distracted with thing's, it's so easy to do that. I don't usually realize how much I've wondered away til I get pretty deep into whatever it was I would be doing, unfortunately. :P
The wheel of this world spins around so fast and yet some days it feels like it’s not even moving at all!
I just need to rest in Christ Knowing that he is the way truth and life. I need to live day by day doing the things God would have me to do, boasting not of tomorrow.
I need to live each day as if it were my last because I really don't know when I will take my last breath. I only pray that when I do, my life would be honoring to God.
We need to develop a close loving inseparable relationship to Jesus; it’s easy enough to say I love him, But how much do I really love him when I allow all these things to distract me?
I want such a love for Christ, the kind that when a loud tumultuous storm comes my way I will be able to hear him, to know his voice.
I am so overwhelmed with the indivisible love Christ has for me, he's always there for me, he holds onto me. I let go often but He pulls me back up and puts me back on that narrow path.
I am so unworthy of his love, But I'm very grateful for his love because without it I would be very lost. I would have no purpose in life, it would be empty.
I invoke Jesus Christ, only in him can I trust my life with.
He is the only reason for my existence, the one who makes life worth living. I praise his awesome, wonderful, amazing, name. I thank him for who he is and what he's done.
With the strong help of the Lord through his love we are more than conquerors, and we can win, in Jesus name!
I hope that made any sense, it made me feel better anyways, just writing it down.: D
God bless you all!
Love in Christ, Rachel Heyworth

July 1st
we went to the Rochester fireworks along with the Bendixens, Wegners, Alessios and Carrigers!
Here we are, :) on our way to pass out tracts and share Christ with people!
It was truly a blessing being able to talk to people about what the loving savior Jesus did for them/us
And just being able to do so in one accord with Friends who love and want to serve God, that is a blessing and encouragement in itself!
















































Jeremiah 1
4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
5 “ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I: “ Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the LORD said to me: “ Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me:
“ Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”

God bless everyone, love in Christ, Rachel :)
