Erika's Favorite Scriptures
"For we (enow that i f our earthfg house, tfiis tent is destroyed,
we have a buifcfingjrom God, a house not made with hands, etemaf in the heavens. For in this we yroan,
earnestly desiriny to he cfothedwith our habitation which isjrom heaven.
I f indeed, having been dothed, we shad n ot be fo u n d nahed.
For we who are in tfeis tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be
unefothed, but further cfothed, that mortafity may be swadowedup by fife. Now He who hasp re p a re d usf o r this very thing is
God, who afso has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. So we are afways confident, knowing that whife we are at home in the body we
are absentf r o m the Lord. For we wafh byjaith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, weffpfeased rather to be absentfr o m the body and to bepresent with the
Lord."
2 Corinthians 5 : 1-8.
"In a d your ways acknowfedge Him, and He shad direct yourpaths."
Proverbs 3:6
