Be STRONG and COURAGEOUS

So it's Monday again.
This Monday, however, wasn't so bad!
I finished my English essay well before midnight last night (and then couldn't fall asleep until 1:00...of course)
I have "Be STRONG and COURAGEOUS" stuck in my head from VBS this summer...no idea how that happened.

I also got my flu shot.
And my arm hurts.
The shot itself doesn't hurt, but my arms aches.
So to justify my hurting arm, I hope I don't get the flu.

Yesterday Bekah and I went to Overlake Christian Church, I'm really beginning to like that church. The message talked about "How to care about God's grace (more than your reputation)" and it definitely touched on some things that I needed to hear.
The first, Grace is scandalous and surprises us.
Second, "We are Christ's ambassadors, and God is using us to speak to you. We urge you, as though Christ himself were here pleading with you, 'Be reconciled to God!'" --2 Corinthians 5:20

I keep thinking of this song lately, it's worth remembering:
How many times have I turned away
The number is the same as the sand on the shore
But every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You do it once more.

Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
to give it away to You Jesus

How many times have I gone astray
The number is the same as the stars in the sky
But every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You do it tonight.
