trust God

OK heyyy! on friday night i went on my first roller coaster, and it just so happened to be the fastest, and steepest on the east coast. (its called the intimidator) and i was TERRIFIED!!! all the way up i was thinking one thing. "please LORD protect me. please Lord protect me." and he did! and i loved it! so trust God and rely on him even when it comes to small things like roller coasters!

Jesus loves me

jesus loves me this i know, 4 the Bible tells me so.
john 3:16 "4 God so loved the world, that he sent his 1 and only son"
So remember, he loves you, and is protecting you!
liv, laf, luv, Jesus

good aftrnoon!

hey! here's a quick thing to make you think! Genesis 1 says: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth." WOAH WOAH WOAH. back up. In the beginning. hmmm... when was this beginning? when God had a random idea to start another lil planet? at the beginning of OUR time, or the beginning of some OTHER time??? just to make ya think ;)
liv. laf. luv.

im back!

heyy! ok so im back, but things will be a lil bit different. i might just post like, a good verse or sumthing every week or sumthing. well. this week will be a few short verses:
"the Fear of the Lord, is the Beginnning of wisdom." psalm 111:10 (i wish there was a 111:11!!!)
"Blessed are thoes who fear the Lord, and walk in his ways." psalm 128:1
"the fear of the Lord- that is wisdom, and to shun Evil is understanding." job 28:28
soo, from these 3 verses, we know that we need to Fear God, because without fearing the Lord, we are foolish. also we need to shun evil (i LOVE that part. its like, "hey evil! *SHUN!* haha) because if we do, then we'll start to understand Gods ways, because we're thinking a little more like him. :)

HELP!

Hey everyone! its Fiona, and im in a bit of a writers block. (i havnt writin in wat? FOREVER) so if you could give me some nice quick topics in the comments i would be forever gratful! THANK YOU AND HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

fear

there are 2 types of fear. Theres the type that we all know, and have touble with. most of the time, thats called a phobia.my phobia, no, make that phobiaS, are things that alot of people would just shrug off. im TERRIBLY afriad of Spiders, and cockroaches, and just about ANY other kind of bug. if i see one, well, ill either be out of there, or standing paralized with fear! im also afriad of hieghts, and a bunch of other things!
Then, the fear that cicles around 1 word. Respect.
Think back to when you were around the age of 5. your standing in the kitchen, and there, right above your head, on the counter, is a bag of candy. you know that everyone is in the living room, watching football on the all new fuzzy screened thing called a Television (if your that old! :P) and all you have to do is reach above your head, and grab a peice.
But wait. Somethings holding you back! your eyes race to theother side of the kitchen. there, in a holder thingy, is a wooden spoon. you know what your daddy can do with that, and you know the awesome power he has over you. you flash back to the last time this happened. OUCH. Your feet level, and you walk away.
you had been afraid of the pain, yes, but mostly you we're respecting you daddy's power, and you fear that power. you fear it because you dont yet obtain the power. you cant compare to it.
I experienced that fear while i was in new mexico. we went to the tent rocks, where the rocks are pointed at the top, and we were inside these crevices, and we came across this HUGE rock in the middle of our path. I relized that it must have come from somewhere. i had wanted to climb the rocks, even though it said not to, and after seeing that rock, i really started to respect tent rocks! i also started to respect the people who made these rules, because they were trying to protect me.
our fear of God should be that way too. we should fear God in a respectful way. We know that he created the universe, and he did it with a few words, and he could destroy the whole universe by blinking an eye if he wanted too! also, we can fear God's justice. we could fear it like: im such a sinner, that God is going to send lighting to kill me. or we could say: God has the awesome power to Judge me. wow. and i thought i was the center of everything!
Respect:Deference to a right, privalege, pivalegde position, or someone or something concidered to have certain rights or privledegs.
*thank you dictionary.com*
Deference:respectful submission or yeilding to the judgment, opinion, will etc. of another.

"Each man's life is but a breath"
part of psalm 39:5 NIV

more about love

We all know the ten Commandments, Obey your father and mother, do not covet, etc. And we all know the fruit of the spirit; Love, Joy, Peace, patience, Kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. But, did you know that the Bible says that thou shall love thy neighbor as thy self, and the fruit Love, are the most important of these?

Love is the most important fruit, because through love, you can find joy, you'll have peace with others, you find patience so much easier, kindness comes with love, like a toy comes with a happy meal, love is Gentle, you tend to be more faithful, and you show allot more self control!!! And the Bible states that love is the most important. I doesn't exactly say it the most important fruit, but it does say... "And above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." *colossians 3 :14*

Other than loving God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind, the most important law and command is You shall love your neighbor as yourself, "the commands, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: *you shall love your neighbor as your self" love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefor love is fulfilling the law." *Romans 13:9-10*.

if you love your neighbors as yourself, and remember that love is sacrificial action, then you wont disobey any of the commands. so as you see, love is the most important thing in the know universe, and beyond!

Love

Today, my cousin was about to play the piano, but she knew that my brother was working, and he was working close to the piano too. He kept telling her to stop, but i could tell she was about to do it any way. i knew that it was time to step in. "Penelope, you should stop." "why should i? he's never nice to us or anything!" "Because, love is sacrificial action, which means we should show love for others. even if we dont want to, or if we think they dont deserve it." That satisfied her, so she walked off.

Sacraficial action has more added to it then just that though. Its denying yourself, to help or show love.

Loving God is sacraficial action as well. Just by loving him, you could loose love ones, or even die! But its all worth it, in the end, when you get to be in Gods presence, and enjoy him for ever!

Boulder ministries

"He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, i will never be shaken." psalm 62:2

Boulder ministries is called what it is called because of this verse. God is out boulder that keeps us from drowning in our own sin. "lead me to the rock that is higher than I" is a statment that gives glory to God, because your asking for someone better than yourself... some one like God. Also, this ministry is called Boulder ministries, becuase i think it would be amazingly cool to help people in hardships. people who feel like they're drowning, by giving simple things, like meals, bibles, and encouraging 'lil notes! and thats a pretty bold commitment when your only 11! :D
