My new sheet set!

These are my new jersey knit cotton sheets!

They are sooooooooooooooooo soft!

The white embroidered pillow on the far left and the pink pillow on the far right are from my best friend, Heidi.

And the bunny on the bed is Turtlebunny.

Proverbs day 18

Study Proverbs 27:5 and Matthew 18:15-17

Q. Have I ever had to confront someone?

Q. How have I seen/felt His love?

(Hiding from his confronter) 

Confronting someone is never a easy chore, or task. God doesn't want to lose believers or even those who don't follow him. We always need to be ready to keep the church, as a whole, clean so we don't have to confront others at all.

Proverbs day 17

Study Proverbs 11:2, Romans 12, and Matthew 6:3-4

Q. Was I proud today?

Q. How have I seen/felt His love?

I mentioned the other day that the people of God tend to follow a pattern, disobey, repent, obey, and so on. Pride goes through the same cycle. We are proud, we fall, we become humble. As the famous saying goes, Pride goes before a fall.

I guest posted on Chivalry over at We Are Those Girls today.




Chivalry is a dying art. Now most people place chivalry in the middle ages: Knights in shining armor rescuing damsels in distress. Let me tell you about the modern chivalry – the chivalry that happens everyday in the world around us.

Proverbs day 16

Study Proverbs 19:17 and Colossians 3:23-24

Q. Did I (fill the blank) for God?

Q. How have I seen/felt His love?

Everything, not just some things, every thing, do it for God. He is the one who enjoys it the most. You are not serving a human, you are serving the King of kings and the Lord of lord, do your best. If you wash the dishes, wash them for God. If you scrub the floors, scrub them for God. Do your best in everything! 

Proverbs day 15

Study Proverbs 27:9 and Romans 1:11-12

Q. Was I a encourager today?

Q. How have I seen/felt His love?

(You may have to click to the blog post to view the movie :)

When we encourage each other it builds us up in Christ. I think encouraging, like prayer takes many years to build up, unless you are a natural encourager. Do you hear a lot of encouraging or more discouraging words? If you hear a lot of encouraging words you should from those around pass it on! 

Proverbs day 14

(Life is finally back to normal, as it possibly can be. :)

Study Proverbs 22:1 and Isaiah 40:46

Q. Do I have a good name?

Q. How have I seen/felt His love?

There is billions of people in the world. Just like the stars, we each have a name. We might not be as readily noticed by people of the world, but God loves us because we are special to him. Even if we are not popular, poor, rich, young old, he loves YOU!

Remarks

I never want to talk ill about people. I extremely dislike it. But I'd like to tell y'all to be careful with the story of what happened this week.

This was the week of the recital.

My sister (above) did an awesome job. :) She has worked really hard and did her best.

Backstage though is always crazy. Kids running around trying to burn off energy and keep themselves occupied while teens change costumes lickety-split.

My sisters were running around playing with people having fun. I wasn't too worried, as long as they were reasonably quiet thats good enough for me. The recital only comes once a year.

And then she came up, a student that barely knows my sister.

And she started...I know now why you are always tired.....yada yada.

I simply ignored her after 5 minutes as I needed to get back to the stage.

And then it happened last night.

She went on and on again.

I told her. "I know. Really I know. I know!"

Enter headbanging against a wall. Sigh....

She meant well.

The moral...be careful how you say things!

Fortune Cookie

I was sweeping the floor today when I found this fortune cookie slip.
