Faith Words: What Are You Thinking?

-

What are you thinking?  What is your first thought upon waking?  What is your last thought at night?
I ask myself these questions.  I know what I want my answer to be and I know what the truth is.

If I want my reality to match my dreams, I need to dwell on what I want my thoughts to be.

The latest news? The last TV show I watched? The latest gossip?  No, I can do better than that.

And when I do, it'll make a difference.

Thinking,

Patrice

Colossians 3:16 (KJV)

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Faith Words: January 1, 2012 - A New Beginning

-
A new beginning - how many times have I asked God for a new beginning?  What will I do with this new year?  Will I set goals, make plans to do things I've put off doing in years past?  How can I be sure I'll follow through this year? I've decided to make this year different.  Oh, sure, I'll continue to set goals and make plans, but this year, I want to be more intentional about making the most of each day the Lord gives me.  With God's help, I want to live in today. Today, I resolve to live, really live, whether I have it all together or not.  Today, I resolve to see the value in each day and not wish it away - or worse, waste it.  Today, I resolve to submit to God and what He has planned for me.  No more putting things off till tomorrow.  No more excuses  The time is now.  Today.  A new beginning. So, let's get started.  Faith Words.  Select a scripture. Write it down in an index card spiral or a notebook.  Submit it as a comment to this blog.  Nothing ex

Faith Words: Here Again

-
I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to write again. Without John, I feel hollow and empty, so there were no words to write. But I think I’m ready now.  I started sharing my thoughts and verses to encourage others to memorize God’s word. God’s word is the foundation of our faith, so it seemed to me that writing His word on our hearts was good and would help us stay strong and remain faithful. I still believe that.  I also believe that sharing our faith and sharing the scriptures God writes on our hearts does more than encourage us individually. I believe this sharing builds up our bonds of love: the bonds that strengthen us no matter how many miles lie between us, the bonds that speak encouragement over us when we’re beaten down by life, the bonds that bring us joy when we remind each other of God’s promises.  So let’s do this again. I’m here again and God’s word is still here. Again.  Love, Patrice ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God end

Questions to Ponder Week #1

-
Hello girls! I know you have to be enjoying the book already and like me, hate to stop reading ahead, but lets take some time to digest the beautifully painted word canvas she has laid out for us so far.  Margaret poses several great questions for this week's reading and I have chosen the following to get our discussion going: Why do you think sheep are mentioned so frequently in the Bible?  Have you changed your beliefs about sheep in general? Just as Lynne knows her sheep, God knows us.  How does it make you feel to know that God knows you so well?  Excited? Fearful? Encouraged? Intimidated? Talk back when you can - Love, Iris
