Dear Future Me,
Top 3 Events This Week:1. Celebrating the New Year with Hope!2. Coffee with Lauren!3. Finishing my Bible in a Year 2024 plan!
What I Am Thankful For:• Jesus's Forgiveness and Protection• Hope, Lauren and my family• My phone and the internet
Anything God Taught Me:• Trust Him when you're scared. He makes it go away.• Temptation is difficult to run from, but you just need HIS speed to flee, not your own.• He will save you from Hell because He loves you, even if you sinned against Him. Don't doubt His love for you.
Favorite Scripture:• Psalm 63:3-4• Revelation 21:3-7• Genesis 5:24• Genesis 9:13
Highlights of the Week:
Sunday:• Today was our last church service as a whole family. Dad goes to Waco on New Years.• I went to lunch with the family since we had an open house today.• I got to see real gold, frankincense and myrrh!• I went to church with Hope and I did a Psalm sing after service. I enjoyed it even if I had no idea what I was doing.
Monday:• We had to clean and then go wait outside during a showing.• I wore a headband for the first time in a while.• The family played jackbox on Noah's new PS5.

My hair is annoying.• Hope came over and we started to celebrate the New Year!! The 5 of us played games and I really enjoyed it!
