im back!

hey y`all!
sorry its been awhile. i've been really busy with the church friday & saturday & last night i had a humungo headache all day and so i went to bed. first off, georgia was a blast! stone mountain was reallyyy pretty. and six flags was as fun as it could be for not liking rides. haha. mitchell was sick, so i didnt have to ride anything, i probably wont be that lucky on the carrowinds trip. && im really excited about VBS all week :] so last night i was looking through my bible and i wrote down some of my favorite verses, and i figured i'd share those with you today! they get me through a lot, and i hope they can help you too :]

First, is my favorite. Hebrews 11:1, "Faith is the substance of all things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" without faith, we have no religion, because we cant see God, but we still have faith that hes there, and when we do, he does things to show us hes there, 'the evidence of things not seen'

Psalm 56:11, "In God have i put my trust; i will not be afraid of what man can do unto me" i love this verse. we should all put our trust in God, and we shouldnt worry about what man can do to us, because as long as God is in control, we can get through anything with him.

1 John 4:9, "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him" so, God loved us so much, he sent his son to die for us, so that we can live through him, and go to heaven. which brings me to my next verses which are probably the most well known verses in the entire bible.

John 3:16-17, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved" Amen. haha. these verses say it all. God loved us SO much that He sent His one and only Son to die for us, so that the world can be saved through Jesus. its because of Gods amazing love for us that we are able to enter heaven, only through accepting Jesus Christ.

Colossians 3:16, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spritiual songs; singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord" love this verse. i've mentioned it before about how it was our verse in patch the pirate club. it is a great verse. we need to learn Gods word and we need to praise him with it for all the wonderful things he does for us!

Psalm 31:3, "Since You are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of Your name lead and guide me" in other words, God is our strength, and we always need to remember that. he will guide us in the direction we need to go in if we let him.

Phillippians 4:13, "I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me" i love this verse as well. NOTHING is impossible with God. and we can accomplish anything if we listen to God and if we have Jesus Christ in our hearts.

and the last verses i want to tell you about are Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways awknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths." this verse i've told many people about during difficult times, and it has helped them tremendously. so i hope that it may help you too :] if we trust God, with everything we have he will show us where to go. without God we are basically blind, but with him, we have a new light and we can live our lives to please him all we have to do is trust him.

so...have faith :]
i love y`all!
