ode to friday

Shipley's for a kolache with
Gina, Manda, & Patti

...

studying for a Spanish vocabulary quiz
means writing the terms on my chalk board
over and over

...

Sunny's encouragement:

1 Thessalonians 1:2-3 {NIV}
"We always thank God for all of you,
mentioning you in our prayers.
We continually remember
before our God and Father
your work produced by faith,
your labor prompted by love,
and your endurance inspired by hope
in our Lord Jesus Christ."

&

1 Corinthians 1:4-9
"I always thank God for you
because of his grace given you
in Christ Jesus.
For in him
you have been enriched in every way
—in all your speaking
and in all your knowledge—
because our testimony
about Christ was confirmed in you.
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift
as you eagerly wait
for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

He will keep you strong to the end,
so that you will be blameless
on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God, who has called you into fellowship
with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."
