so...you know how you can be so torn about something. well i have gone through these times of being so excited about going back to Ukraine, and then not wanting to leave the States. tonight i was looking at pictures of one of my closest friends back there and she recently started dating someone and it makes me want to be there so bad. i start looking at pictures and i get so excited. i believe that Ukraine is where the Lord wants me right now. and i love it there soooooo much!!!!!
not my will but Yours be done LORD!!!!!! what a great example from Jesus!

colossians 3:1-3
do you ever feel like you are so caught up in the cares of this life...when Jesus tells us to cast all of our cares at His feet. what do i do? i take them up and try to carry them.
do you ever get exhausted from the weight of your sin? give it to Jesus.
do you ever hate your worry, selfishness, and pride so much. and do you know what to do with it? give it to Jesus. we are not to focus on the sin in our lives. how will we get better if we are focused on that. fix your eyes upon Jesus. look full in His wonderful face. and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace. good song. it's true. when we fix our eyes on Him, the things and the cares of this world won't seem so big.
do you ever realize how incredibly blessed you have been. no. we can't realize that. for we can't fully understand the Lord and how good He is to us. but the friends and family you have been given. do you take them for granted? do you spend more time giving into the drama that can entangle us instead of letting it go and just loving? i know i do at times. it's something to grow in. so today and every day, but take one day at a time. in the strength of Jesus, just love each other. don't give in to the drama that satan wants to bring and use. don't listen to his lies. he just wants us to argue. he is here to destroy, it says so in the Word of God. but Jesus brings life. let's live in Jesus' victory!
do you ever realize that it's hard to be on this earth, praise be to Jesus we have HIM! really, though struggles can be so intense, what do i have to complain about. what does any believer have to complain about. nothing. Jesus paid it all. all to Him i owe.
" Therefore, if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above; not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life has been hidden with Christ in God."
