Pray the Hardest, when it is the hardest to pray

       These are just some verses that I found. I was going to write an entry about them but I have had them in my drafts for 2 months. That is why I am just posting them like this. I don't really need to explain every verse that I come across. I just need to have them where I can reach them easily and my blog is a place for that. I will have a lot more entries like this one in the weeks to come because I have maybe 5 or more in my drafts waiting to get published. V erses 3-8: "For I envied the proud      when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. 4  They seem to live such painless lives;      their bodies are so healthy and strong. 5  They don’t have troubles like other people;      they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else. 6  They wear pride like a jeweled necklace      and clothe themselves with cruelty. 7  These fat cats ...

Proverbs 29:25 English Standard Version (ESV) 25  The fear of man lays a snare,      but whoever trusts in the  Lord  is safe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proverbs 29:25 New International Version (NIV) 25  Fear  of man will prove to be a snare,      but whoever trusts in the  Lord  is kept safe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~             This verse means a lot to me in whatever version you want to take it in. It is the theme of what I have been praying for a lot of people lately. A friend had it in an email that they sent out and it just hit the right spot for me when praying. There are times that I pray that certain people whether family or friends are safe in the Lord. When I say safe, I could mean traveling, health, their attitude, their heart, and much more. I usually end my prayers with "Pl...

             The title might be strange and make you think that this is a boring entry but I'm going to try to make it interesting and deep learning one. I came up with wanting to write an entry about rocks because rocks are God's creation and I am also going to write about a memory that I had. I know the memory might not be big right now but one day it will be. I got the idea for an entry while I was looking and rocks and gems at a rock show in Springfield one weekend. It was just my parents and me, which was special in itself. My dad has a thing for rocks or at least he did in college. He wanted to be a person who studied rocks at first but then changed his career later on.               Now to be honest, I don't know how many of the rocks at the show were truly found by the people selling them because some people did tell us that they brought some rocks from museums and then resold them at shows like the ones I wa...

Birthmarks of Love -1 John 3:10-ESV               - " 10  By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God,   nor is the one who   does not love his brother." -God is Love. -Love is the fruit of salvation.              -1 John 3:11, 14- ESV                       -" 11  For  this is the message that you have heard from the beginning,  that we should love one another."                    -" 14  We know that   we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death."   -Fresh command-Love one another with a fresh love. Share His Love. -1 John 3:1-2              -" 3  Se...

         I can't believe how many "likes" and "looks" I got on my last entry after I didn't write in awhile. It had been about 3 weeks since I won't last. There were 30 "likes" last night after I got home and looked at it last night. I need to take about that much of a break every now and then, I guess. This entry is going to be about what one of my little girls said this past week and what it meant to me. It really did hit me hard.           "Half of my heart loves her, and half of my heart is sad. But I'm on the love side."-Said by one of my little girls             I just can't stop thinking about this saying. One of my little girls said it to me on Thursday at work and it has been on my mind ever since. She was having a fight with one of her girlfriends and was really upset and crying when she said it. I talked to her about what was going on and how she coulee handle it. After she felt a little be...

           Well, things are turning around for me. They are turning around so much that I am getting paid a little bit more. I might be on here a little less too. I'm working full days now at two different jobs. Mornings at a daycare at a high school for 12 weeks and still my after school job. The subbing job is really an answer to prayer. I might be able to get caught up in my bills with it, then have money just to spend again. How nice would that be!           It is subbing for 12 weeks because the teacher is on leave to be with her new baby. I've already been a sub two times at that daycare but now it is part time. They were testing me. ☺️ It will be hard at first because my schedule will change but I know it will change back so that's the good part. I just need the energy for 12 weeks.          Subbing for toddlers to be right on. It seems like I ...

           I know this is a first in a long while. I have written 3 days in a row. I have my spurts here and there of doing different things. This one is free so I am doing more of it to make my time go by faster. I want to talk about how my day went yesterday back at my other school. Might notice by the title that it went good and felt great? It did!           I felt things being lifted off my shoulders as soon as I hit the school's driveway. I mean it litually felt like someone was lifting all of that weight off of me. The weight I was carrying for the past two months. In a strange way, it felt like my soul finally got a chance to rest, yet my physical body didn't but that was okay. It is strange how you think something is so little and can't bother you, actually does but you don't notice it until it's gone.           God knew what was best for...

-Acts 4:13 -" 13  When they saw the courage of Peter and John  and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men,  they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus." -Truth, Light, Love         -(AKA)-Right Thinking                      -Right affections                      -Right Living -Those are the 3 cyclical themes of the book of 1st John. - 1 John 1:1-2 New International Version (NIV) -The Incarnation of the Word of Life "1  That which was from the beginning,  which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,  which we have looked at and our hands have touched —this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.   2  The life appeared;  we have seen it and testify to it,  and we proclaim to you the eternal life,  which was with the Father and has appea...

         Ecclesiastes 3:11 New International Version (NIV) 11  He has made everything beautiful in its time.  He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom  what God has done from beginning to end.            There is this one family that continues to be a blessing to me but I noticed in the past few days that it has and goes deeper then just a blessing. I needed them, probably more then they needed me. The little girl that I had was such a blessing to me and I saw so much in her. To tell you the truth, she reminded me a lot of me when I was in 2nd grade. The only different thing about her was she was a little bit more outgoing then I probably ever was. There was just that special connection with her when I first saw her. I knew something had to be special about her and there was.             First, I thought it was just because I knew part of...

               I don't know what to write about for once. It is so funny because I have so many ideas here on my blog. So many verses, so many poem ideas, so many things to write about but yet I don't feel like writing about those things just yet. I feel like writing about what I don't know. My life. That I don't even know what to write about or quite understand it at this point. I am just so confused about it. I am trying to hear from God and yet I don't have the energy or understanding to know what He is doing right now in my life. The closer it gets to my 30th birthday, the more stress it seems to bring on me. The more things I need to seem to understand about life and all the new things I am learning right now too. I haven't quite felt like I have been on this earth in the past few months. They have gone by so fast it seems and things are happening just like that. I have wrote some entries about things that have gone on.       ...
