CEkN6q2XIAEh9l4.jpg The Word Hey everyone, I wanted to share what we talked about at church this morning. We were looking in the Bible at Galatians 3:23-29  and Galatians 4:1-7. No longer prisoners by the law In verses 23-25, it talks about being prisoners by the law. Since Jesus Christ has come, we no longer have to be prisoners by law. If you accept Jesus Christ into your heart, and have faith that Jesus is the Son of God and was sent here to die for our sins, then you are no longer a prisoner by the law. Now a child of god In verses 26-29, it talks about when you are saved, you become a child of God. You are one in Christ Jesus. In Galatians 4:1-7, it talks about how God sent Jesus to save us, so we may be adopted into his family, an heir to the kingdom of God.

I was feeling a little lonely after scrolling through social media and seeing a lot of my friends having fun with their friends, while I am at home with no social life.

I stood there, swaying with my church friends as we sang “O Come To The Altar.” I really needed that tonight, and the sermon too. My youth pastor preached about idolatry and anxiety.

My mom had a colonoscopy two weeks ago and ended up having three polyps removed, two small ones and one big one and they biopsied them.  My mom got a call last week saying that the big one was cancerous.  My heart sank when she told me the news.  Just when I thought me and my family were finally getting a break, considering both of my uncles had been in the hospital for weeks, and now this. I just could not believe it.   I decided all I could do right now is pray, so I did. Crying and praying for God to heal her and help me through this. My mom sees an oncologist tomorr...
