2 Kings 11 - 12; 2 Chronicles 24; 1 Timothy 6


1 Timothy 6: 17-19 Tell those rich in this world's wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money, which is here today and gone tomorrow. Tell them to go after God, who piles on all the riches we could ever manage—to do good, to be rich in helping others, to be extravagantly generous. If they do that, they'll build a treasury that will last, gaining life that is truly life.

20-21And oh, my dear Timothy, guard the treasure you were given! Guard it with your life. Avoid the talk-show religion and the practiced confusion of the so-called experts. People caught up in a lot of talk can miss the whole point of faith.

Overwhelming grace keep you!

really what I journaled about this morning , what Dan and I talked about, what I am wrestling w/God about is how people hate prophets and about how sometimes when I point peole to God I feel like a prophet....and for someone who worries alot about people liking her....this is a battle...one I want to keep fighting because You are the only answer...a journey seeking Christ, following, seeking to follow Christ is the only answer.....but it is a battle.

It has to BE ABOUT YOU...if I try to advise ...hell I ain't go nuthin to advise, but if I do try I become something that gets in the way of their going to where they need to go....I've done it...I have an amazing friend and I am her go to gal not Jesus....I don't know how it happened and I try now to point her to You but ...but I'm scared to lose her now....scared to have her think I'm just this weird Jesus girl/woman...so I kind of point her to you but mostly I advise and I am scared to death of where she is now because I got in the way....so THAT'S what I'm wrestling with Him about today...

Overwhelming grace keep you!
