Verse of the Day ~ March 30, 2012

Psalm 105:42-45 ~ For He remembered His holy promise, And Abraham His servant. He brought out His people with joy, His chosen ones with gladness. He gave them the lands of the Gentiles, And they inherited the labor of the nations, That they might observe His statutes And keep His laws. Praise the LORD!

Verse of the Day ~ March 29, 2012

Psalm 105:37-41 ~ He also brought them out with silver and gold, And there was none feeble among His tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed, For the fear of them had fallen upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night. The people asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and water gushed out, It ran in the dry places like a river.

Verse of the Day ~ March 28, 2012

Psalm 105:26-36 ~ He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron whom He had chosen. They performed HIs signs among them, And wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His word. He turned their waters into blood,, And killed their fish. Thei land abounded with frogs, Even the chambers of their kings. He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their territory. He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land. He struck their vines also, and their fig trees, nd splintered the trees of their territory. He spoke, and locusts came, Young locusts without nuber, And ate up all the vegetation in their land. And devoured the fruit of their ground. He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land, The first of all their strength.

A Great Weekend

Well, you might have wondered about my twitter statuses... they wouldn't have made sense unless you knew where I was. But we were in Ohio from Friday to Monday. We had an awesome time:). We went up because our old pastor was retiring. We didn't get up there till about 7 on Friday so we didn't do much then. Saturday was fun. I went with Paul to the church to help the youth group set up for Sunday... that was fun. I saw a ton of people I hadn't seen in years. The girls hadn't changed much... they just got a little taller;). The boys are a different story... The boys that used to be short and annoying are now tall and really cute. ;) Sunday was awesome. My face was sore the whole day because I was smiling literally the whole time we were at church. I still can't get over how big all the kids have gotten... I mean I've obviously gotten taller since I was 9 but I don't notice me as much... since I see myself everyday;). Well, it was back to school today. I can't say I'm excited about school but it wasn't a totaly drag... I don't hate school... at least not all the time;). So, I'm gonna finish watching Biggest Loser and then get my hiney to bed. Goodnight y'all:)

Verse of the Day ~ March 22, 2012

Psalm 105:18-22 ~ They hurt his feet with fetters, He was laid in irons. Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him. The king sent and released him, The ruler of the people let him go free. He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his posessions, To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.

Verse of the Day ~ March 21, 2012

Psalm 105:16-17 ~ Moreover He called for a famine in the land; He destroyed all the provision of bread. He sent a man before them - Joseph - who was sold as a slave.

Verse of the Day ~ March 20, 2012

Psalm 105:13-15 ~ When they went from one nation to another, From one kingdom to another people, He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."

Verse of the Day ~ March 19, 2012

Psalm 105:9-12 ~ Thoe covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, And confirmed it to Jcaob for a statute,To Israel as an everlasting covenant, Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment for your inheritance, WHen they were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

"I'm not done with you yet."

Have you ever thought about why you're still here? Why you're where you are? Why you're doing what you're still doing? I mean, really think about your life. Have you ever wondered why God has put you in a situation? Recently I've been wondering why God has put my in certain situations. Why He has allowed certain things to happen that affect me. I've wondered why it doesn't stop. I've wondered why I haven't got a break. Tonight it finally hit me... almost literally. God isn't done with me yet. I've asked Him several times, "why does this keep happening? I can't take it anymore." But He's telling me, "No, Breanna I'm not done with you yet." He's gonna give me the strength I need. Something that has been really convicting to me is that when God was being beaten and spat on and being treated worse than dirt He didn't say, "Ok. That's it. I'm done. I can't do this anymore." He certainly could have, but He didn't. But now think about us. How many times do we say, "Ok. That's it. I'm done. I can't do this anymore."? Honestly, we all do that a lot. Why do we do that? Because we're weak. Why are we weak? Because we're looking for strength that comes from ourselves. We keep lookin' and lookin' and we never find it. You wanna know something? It's really, really hard to find something that isn't there. We have absolutely no strength in us. How dare we try and handle things on our own. How dare we try and play God. And you wanna know the saddest part about it all? We don't even know that we're doing it. We just think that we can do it. We can stand on our own two feet. But we really can't. So, when God says that He's not done with you yet don't say I don't care or I can't do this anymore. When He tells you that He's not done with you yet He doesn't tell you that you have to do it on your own. God never leaves you. He never tells you to do something in your own strength. Y'all remember my favorite verse? Matthew 19:26 says, "...With man this is impossible, But with God all things are possible." Don't get discouraged when it seems like it doesn't let up. You don't get a break. Because God's not done with you yet and He will give you the strength you need.

Psalm 105:7-8 ~ He is the Lord our God; His judgements are in all the earth. He remembers His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

Verse of the Day ~ March 15, 2012

Psalm 105:4-6 ~ Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore! Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgements of His mouth, O seed of Abraham His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

It's Wednesday...

I know it's only 9:30 but I'm literally following alseep. Oh well. Did you guys hear Jack got his halo off today? That pretty much made my day. It's just amazing seeing how strong and joyful he can be. It kinda makes me wonder how I would respond in that situation. But hands down, Jack's a huge role model for kids everywhere.

I crashed my scooter three times today... although, I was sitting down on the scooter 2 out of 3 times. The other time I didn't actually fall... I caught myself. The weather was awesome today. We had a blast outside. I'm sure that will be the same for the rest of the week. Maybe I'll find some people to take pictures of us outside because I know that y'all are dying to see what we do out there;). Idk... it's just an idea. Honestly, my thoughts are kinda all over the place right now because I'm so stinkin' tired. With that I'm just gonna tell y'all goodnight and post something in the morning. Hope y'all have a great night!

Verse of the Day ~ March 13, 2012

Psalm 105:1-3 ~ Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make knowns His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD!

If that's not an encouragement to Christians then I don't know what is. Hope it was an encouragement to you too! Have a great day!

Verse of the Day ~ March 12, 2012

Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever.

Saturday...

Saturday may be my favorite day of the week. Especially now since it's getting warmer. And when Saturdays are warm outside us kids in hood have loads of fun. Today was no exception. Started at 8 a.m. this morning when I woke up and it became very obvious, very quickly I was not going to be able to go back to sleep. So what did I do? What any normal kid would do... (yes, I still consider myself normal even though it's not really true) I went downstairs, threw myself on the couch, covered up with my blankie, and watched The Waltons, Jessie, and Lab Rats. It was fun... although it took me a while to actually be full awake... my sister joined me on the couch about 10 and then our parents got up later... I thought I'd be a good daughter and not wake them up since they NEVER sleep in. ;) After we ate breakfast and got ready I headed outside. I called the nieghbors and they were gonna help me come and paint the swingset only the paint wasn't here yet so we just finished getting the old paint off... or... attempted to at least. It was all fine until my neighbors dog came over. It's just a little pug who doesn't bother us and he she wasn't in the way so we just left her alone for the most part. Well, we did for as long as we could. Then that stinkin' dog decided to entice Roxie (our other neighbors dog) to come under the fence and 'visit'. I wasn't amused. Roxie is still sort of a puppy so she has a ton of energy but she's big... The excitement concluded when I tackled Roxie and my friend picked up the puppy. I then took the pug home and Shane took Roxie home... or tried to. I ended up doing. Turns out a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old can't handle a golden retriever. So, guess who had to carry the dog home? Yep. I did. And that dog was heavy. Oh well... making memories;) Then we painted the swingset. Not much exciting there... although I did have to help Shane get his four-wheeler unstuck. You can see how dirty I got by going on twitter and checking the pic I posted. So that's how my Saturday went. I probably bored you to death with those very descriptive details but you know... I just couldn't resist;). Have a great night y'all!

You better be running...

 Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.
