Tuesday 10

I have been thinking about this Tuesday 10 things I am thankful for all week.

1. The fun times I have laughing with my friends.
2. The nature I see on my walks in the morning.
3. Caleb that little kid can always make me laugh and also his smile he is growing up to be such a Godly man because of his parents and hes only 6.
4. Patrick and the funny stories that little kid will tell. Him and caleb are buddies and tell the cutest stories together.
5. I got my 1988 old back yesterday :) Minus the 800 it cost to fix :(
6. The families who came to our picnic at Jupiter beach/inlet
7. Mrs. Stone and Mrs. Fulbright watching the way they parent and treat their children. They inspired me a lot on sunday for the future.
8. The patience God is teaching me right now and how I know everything will be ok if I just wait.
9. Being able to relax on the beach on monday and enjoy the sunshine
10. The wedding shower planning went well and its is on saturday :)

What an AMAZING day!!

This memorial day was one of the best yet. I had such a great day just swimming, having fun with the little ones, and laying out in the sun.

I had soo much fun with my family and friends from church. It was just good clean fun at the beach. I had sooo much fun playing with the little kiddos in the water watching them and making sure we didnt drift too hard. The mom gave me tons of inspiration today. They are such great moms and look out for the best of their children. There kids are soo amazing and these moms show love for their kids in many ways. The dads do too. My parents did the same for me as a child and I am sooo thankful for it.

My church family is VERY important in my life. They care so much for me and trust me with their children. I see God in these people and it makes me love Him even more. These people are just regular joes who love Jesus and live simple lives. Even though one of the lady's husband does make a lot of money as a pilot but wont just buy the kids a wii they have to have a wii fund. Roger even shared the gospel with a lady at the beach today. He is so good at evangelising to people and has gotten my dad into doing it more.

God taught me a lot today and I know He has a plan for my life and knows everything. My life verse right now is Jeremiah 29:11


I found this verse about fellowship and its very true
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
Psalm 133:1

I found this on my devotion and it is sooo true!!
The more you love Jesus, the more you’ll talk about Him.

Is Jesus enough? That’s a question many Christians need to ask themselves. They have abundant material possessions. But do these believers depend on Jesus? Or on their stuff?
While having wealth is not condemned in Scripture as long as priorities are in order and the needs of others are addressed, those of us with relative wealth must remind ourselves that Jesus—not riches—sustains us.

The apostle Peter helps us with this in the story of the lame man begging at the temple gate in Jerusalem. This man asked Peter for money, but Peter replied, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6).

The man lying at the gate thought the answer to his problems that day was money, but Peter showed him that the answer was Jesus. And He still is.
I read about a group of Chinese Christians who have much to teach us as they seek to spread the gospel in their homeland and beyond. These believers say, “We can’t afford any big programs or fancy gospel presentations. All we have to give people is Jesus.”

Jesus is enough for our brothers and sisters in China. He is enough for the poor. Is He enough for you? — Dave Branon

You may have much gold and grandeur,Yet by God be reckoned poor;He alone has riches trulyWho has Christ, though nothing more. —Anon.

Our greatest riches are the riches we have in Christ.

Kinda bored/sleepy

I am uploading some music to mediafire for a friend so I cant sleep. I still have like 32 mins left. It was even taking so long on aim. Why do transferring files take so long?

So I was on my walks today(I walked twice) I love seeing all the nature and creation in general. I see sooo many animals mostly ducks, iguanas, and squirrels.

I am glad God didnt make squirrels mean animals I mean they can be mean but they look cute. I saw one the other day staring at me and he had a peanut in a shell in his mouth he was sooo cute. I love all the animals God made. I am thankful for animals. They make my long walks soo interesting.

I am getting so tan but I have been putting sunscreen on though because I dont want skin cancer. But I still tan even with sunscreen. I dont get it.

Ok I think thats all I wanted to say. Lets hope it goes faster. I wish I had faster internet.

The imagination of a kid

I went in my moms sunday school class today to help because my bro was ut of town and we were merging with another class and so my mom said can you come help me. So I did it was fun. She had 2 classes today because another teacher couldnt make it. She had the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th graders today which was only like 6 girls.

Onto my story lol We are sitting there my mom is teaching and they are making their stop sign things and one girl goes go look out the window that bird is on top of the other bird. Obviously it is spring and time for nature to take its course. I rolled my eyes I am like o no birds please stop my mom was trying to get me to go scare the birds but I couldnt it was too far. These kids dont know what they are doing they are so young but the things they came up with:
The one birds leg is hurt and the other one is help it.
They are wrestling.
They are playing a game.

The girls thought of some other interesting stories too and I was like praise God for their innocent minds so my mom just let them think their little stories until the birds went away. I think my mom and I both prayed they would. That was very interesting today in sunday school. I love the minds God gives little kids and the way they think.

The sermon was pretty awesome today good pastor preached on thanksgiving in May. We need to be giving thanks all the time not just in November!! I love sunday and every other day of the week!!

June 21st is almost coming up and this year I have a feeling it is going to be the hardest day of my life times 3. That was the day I lost my grandmother to cancer 3 years ago. This year I have been taking it really hard. The older I get and the more awesome things that happen in life I miss her more and more. Sometimes I find myself crying because I miss her soo much. Going to my grandpas 3 days a week makes it hard too because he is getting older.

Please be praying for my strength because lately I have not been strong at all. I miss her sooo much. :(

Tuesday 10

7. Little Kids they are sooo cute and do whatever you tell them.
8. I got to see my BFFL before she graduated!!
9. Adults who helped raise me and made me who I am today. Ann I miss you
10. My journey. It is really hard lately.

Godly mothers not only bring you up, they bring you to God.

Today was just a great day celebrating my mom and I learned soo much in sunday school and church today.

We talked about sin in sunday school and how all sin is equal no matter what. We talked about how God has a purose for things and we need to fulfill his purpose of bringing other people to Him. (I dont remember exactly but it was close to that)

I liked this verse Micah 6:8 it shows what he wants.
He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

I was reading in my bible during sunday school Nahum because it is right next to Micah. I really liked Nahum 1:3 it really showed me the power of God and I just liked it a lot. I have the king james version and it is still very descriptive.

The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Now for church we had Dr. Joe Bruce I think he is the leader for the Carribbean IMB if I am correct. He talked about the Godly women and chnaged lives for mothers day.

He talked about Lydia and how she got the gospel from Europe to N. America. Paul had a dream about a man in macedonia but it was a women and she took care of him when he got there.
Acts 16:9-10 Acts 16:13-14

Dr. Bruce worked in Honduras for a little bit helping them out and he told stories of Godly women. Their church needed a piano and one day they found someone who didnt know every much but she did what she could and they got to enjoy their worship more. Also this lady wanted to do whatever she could to please the Lord and be obedient.

No matter what gifts we have and how small they are God can make them big.

There was another lady who couldnt read or write and she would go to peoples houses and ask if they could read to her and she would have them read John 3:16 to her then she would explain it to people and they would come to the Lord. :)

God usues unusual people to fulfill his purpose.

There was another lady who was single and the mother of a child died in childbirth and the baby got sick in childbirth then she got the child healed and they let her keep the baby.

He also talked about a guy who needed help he was abusive to his family and he completely turned around and changed and his family wasnt afraid anymore.

2 corinthians 5:17
herefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

So we can be all that he wants us to be we need to be changed.

He talked about the spirtitual abc's to become a chrsitian
A- Acknowledge you are a sinner and you need Jesus
B- Believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins
C- Confess him as your savior.

Thats all you need and He loves you and wants you in His life. He wants you to be apart of his kingdom. Like John 3:16 says For God so loved the WORLD He gave HIS ONE begotten son so that whosoever beleives in Him SHALL NOT PERISH but have EVERLASTING LIFE!!

I mean how can you get any better than that someone dying and then wanting to spend eternity with you? :) it makes me smile
