Romans 6

Being a Slave To Sin

  • Sin was everything- I would always reside to it
  • It controlled me- I felt no remorse when committing sin
What was the purpose of my sin? What have I gotten out of those sin?
'The wages that sin pays are death, but God's gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.' Romans 6:23

Well I can admit to my sin now that I know it was wrong and I will not go back to those sin. 
Pre-martial sex led to a broken family; something I always told myself would never be a situation I would be in. But really? I was laying down with a boy who I knew would never be able to put anyone before himself. I was laying down with a person who did not love God; I must of not loved God if I was in the act of this sin. 
Lying led me to parents who lost trust in me because I would say I was doing one thing yet doing something different. Then their pregnant daughter came home after saying I wasn't having sex. They lost trust in me and I had to regain that trust in them.
Lust, I believe, brought it hard on me to be in a stable relationship because I knew I could be with who ever I wanted. Now I am here, not able to be with someone.
Along with many more sin, these three stood out to me the most.

It wasn't worth it, definitely not. When I gave my life over to Christ, I was crucified with Him and also I was raised from the dead with Him. Meaning I am now a new person, a righteous person who isn't a slave to sin anymore. I am not a slave to sin, but a slave to righteousness.
Having been set apart from sin, I now can enjoy the Godly rewards on Earth and ultimately the end reward, which is eternal life with Christ. 

"Thank God He's called us to 'turn up' through turning to Him" -Lecrae

Give your life to God and start to live like Him. Our sins died once we gave/give our life to Christ. Sin will no longer have control over us. 

'Sin will have no power over you, because you aren't under Law but under grace.' 
Romans 6:14

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Image
Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

Image
I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assem...
