Wash...Sanctified...Justified

I normally use this blog forum to update on our family news and events but today I hope this makes someone reading this feel as blessed as I do to be loved by Jesus. Yesterday at church our preacher preached on Corinthians 6:1-11. It was about conflict in the church. But what I loved most is the last part of this scripture where Paul lists all people that wont "judge the world" and he says, "and some of you were these people but you have been washed, sanctified and justified" As I sat there reading that it said some of the worst sins or things that you could do or be, but no matter what Jesus loved us so much that He forgave it all by just believing in Him. I love that feeling to know that no matter the past we are forgiven by Him. What an unconditional love. I love the words washed, sanctified and justified. To be washed and clean is such an awesome thing, but he doesnt stop there we are also sanctified and justified. No matter the sin He has forgiven us and we are WASHED!!


Family Update: Wifey got involved in our little health issue today and after about 20 minutes on the phone and the help of a wonderful family friend I had J scheduled for a visit with a colon and rectal specialist on Wednesday. He specializes in this sort of problem. Or as the doctor put it..."in rectuns" (who would want to specialize in that? I mean really!) But he will do a better job diagnosing the issue because they are fairly sure it has nothing to do with his colon. This is great news because they also told us that they dont believe that we have anything serious to worry about and listed some possiblities of what it might be. Apparantly this is very common in men J's age who have a profession where they sit alot, which he does...so although I was mad at our General Practioner who will remain nameless, but will no longer be our doctor...I was glad to have some headway in this issue. As a mommy I sometimes have to take care of ALL the chicks in this house. Men tend to want to take a doctors answer for truth and I just dont believe that and will ask more questions until I get the results I want....probably part of the momma bear in me. So we are not having to wait the two weeks for the unneeded colonoscopy and will hopefully have some good news on wednesday from the "butt specialist" himself...Pray that we have ANSWERS not more runaround. We can deal with whatever IT is, we just want to know what IT is!!

So in the word of Chloe, who thinks everyone is named after our dog Toby..."Bye Bye Tofee"
