Blessings

I've started to do a little Bible study called "Adventurous Prayer" from the Women of Faith study guide series and holy cow! The part that I did today really spoke to me. It took me through some Scripture to find what assurances God has given me. Psalm 32:1 tells me that my sins are covered; Psalm 103:12 says that my sins are as far from me as the east is from the west; John 15:15 tells me that I am a friend of God *breaking into song* ;) Romans 8:15 tells me that I am an heir of Christ. How cool is that?? Think about that. Romans 8:26 tells me that I have and intercessor who prays for me even when I don't have the words to pray; Hebrews 7:25 says that I am COMPLETELY saved!! Nothing nor no one will EVER take my salvation away from me! No matter what I do (or don't do), no matter where I go or how far I run away from God, He's always there right behind me waiting on me to turn around. He's there with His arms open so wide, ready to accept me. I know for me that's so encouraging! I mess up A LOT! But God is quick to forgive me and I praise Him for that. I pray that I'd be that quick to forgive others.

I was wondering...what are some other promises from His Word that you know and claim?

Blessed,
Rachel :O)

Closing

ok...so I've been learning how to close here lately at work. Well, the schedule's up for next week and I'm all by myself next Saturday! I'm really excited, but really nervous because there's not going to be another manager there....JUST ME!! As I think about it...I'm there by myself in the mornings a lot when I open, but for some reason it's a little different. In the morning it's adults opening with me; at night they're high schoolers with a couple college-aged...that's it. I'm nervous that I'm not going to remember everything that I have to do...and Saturdays we have to break EVERYTHING down! ...ice dream, lemonades...everything. I know a lot of the kids know what time to do stuff, but I probaby won't remember. Well, at least til I start closing more often. Tonight was interesting. We looked over in the Dairy Queen parking lot cuz a cop had pulled a car over...no big deal right? Well, another po-po pulled in behind him. Then next thing we know, the old lady was being handcuffed and put into the back of the car!! Crazy huh? We're not quite sure what she was being arrested for, but before they left, another car came to pick up the girl that was with her. That was fun. Then I went to the back to do something in the office and I come back up front to see Jamie kicking a teenager out of the store. I asked what was going on and they tell me that she kicked him out for dipping in the store!! He is only 16!!! He had the balls to come up to the counter to ask for a cup to spit in! Jamie got all riled up cuz she said that he tried to push her...like starting a fight or something. It was an interesting night to say the least. Then we ran out of the milkshake base at around 9....pretty much everyone after 9 wanted a milkshake....seems to always happen that way. You run out of something and the very next person wants it! Anyway. I need to get to bed. I wanted to write so that Sarah had something to read! :O) May you be blessed!!
