Just read my sister's blog http://itmightbwonderful.blogspot.com/ and she challenged me to put my name in the place of love in 1 Corinthians 13 let's see how I stack up.
Olivia is patient, Olivia is kind. She does not envy, She does not boast, she is not proud. She does not dishonor others, she is not self-seeking, she is not easily angered, she keeps no record of wrongs. Olivia does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. She always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
(with God) Olivia never fails.
Not anywhere near accurate I think the only ones I have are not easily angered and Olivia never fails BUT only with God. Something to work for I guess and i'm happy to spend a lifetime trying to love like Jesus.
Thanks Tashybear
I love this. I had my youth class read it that day one day and it's a big eye opener. Maybe if I read it this way each and every morning I would begin to allow the Lord to change me in areas that need a lot of work.

Thanks Leah!! (although i am neither the writer of this post or Natasha! LOL way to make it confusing for you) But i completely agree with you statement when you read it this way its very eye opening. You see what areas you have some (ok maybe a lot) of room to grow! I hope you get closer and closer to Gods example everyday :)
