This & That

Sorry that it's been a while since I've posted!
Lately I'm realizing more and more how important it is to have supportive friends and to support friends.

Ephesians 4:29-32 "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you"

That verse is great, it really explains how you should treat your friends and everyone, really. I'm trying harder to live like that now. I want to be an encouragement to those around me. I want to be uplifting and helpful. It's a good goal to have!
I'm still learning, but maybe someday I'll be good at using my gifts for good.
The other day I was required to write an essay about my spiritual gifts. It was challenging, but really awesome! I learned a lot about myself in the process, I think every Christian should learn what their spiritual gifts are and be sure that they are putting them into action as God intended them to be(Romans 12:6-8).
http://www.spiritualgiftstest.com/ I highly recommend this test(it's free & good!), it helped me to understand what my spiritual gifts are. I think it's quite accurate! 
So you should check it out.
Thanks for reading!
