“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Peter 1:3-8 NIV

I love knowing that by God's divine power He has given us everything we need to live a Godly life. I certainly needed all those divine qualities this morning as I was specially selected for a "random" extra security check in TSA's Pre-Check process. I was escorting Juliet and Liam through the short line and Jason had Duncan and Crispin in the long line. Juliet and Liam were perfect, and waited patiently off to the side. I, however, had to draw on all my God-given resources of self-control and perseverance. We made it to our gate safely AND early, which is miraculous in and of itself.
South Fam, I am proud of us for making it this far! I'm praying today that we hold His Word in our hearts this week, and that He shows us ways to be effective and productive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ! 💜
I love you all, and AWESOME job on your cooperation today. 😊-Mom
