Jesus is our anchor

Yesterday night I went to Awana . In counsel time we talked about Jesus being our anchor. We are boats, salvation is the rope that attaches us to Jesus the anchor. The water is our life. When our life is difficult it is like a storm at sea. And when our life is calm it is like when the water is smooth but the boat still needs an anchor. This illustration shows that even during calm times we still need Jesus to keep us in place.

I have had my blog for a year!!!!, well visits

Hi, I can't believe I have had my blog for a whole year!! For this post I am going to tell you what I did today.

I had a well visit. A well visit is a visit to the doctor even though you are well. These are very important, so he can help me keep my blood sugar stable. Today we discussed my blood sugars. By the way my A1c was 7.0! When I go to a well visit with my doctor, He checks my sites, he feels my thyroid (which was kind of swollen because I can't find my medicine), and we go over my pump settings and my blood sugar. My doctor said that I was doing well, just I need to move my sites around more.

The gift of giving meals.

Giving meals is one of the best thing that a person can do to bless someone. Meal giving is VERY much a blessing. If someone gives a family a meal it relieves the mom of lots of things. She doesn't have to figure out what they are going to eat, she does not have to make sure they have all the stuff, and she does not have to make it. Also it is nice because it is a warm nice meal that the family can sit down and enjoy. My favorite part is the fact that they usualy bring brownies(:

Giving a meal is also sometimes a act of friendship. In the bible days having a meal with someone was saying that they are your friends. Jesus dined with sinners and tax collectors,also He dinned with Zacchaeus even though Zacchaeus was a very sinful tax collector. In these two stories He showed that he is a friend to anyone who will except him.
