Proverbs 31

Hello,

Well, this beautiful morning I was reading my Bible. Every time I read Proverbs 31 I just get tickled in me heart. That is one of my favorite passages of scripture. The verse that I love so much is, "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all. Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates."(Proverbs 31:28-31) I just love that verse and it just encourages me to continue listening to my parents and serving in my family. I hope that this would encourage you also. Have a blessed day!!!

Blessings,
Brittany

BIble Reading Plan

Hello Everybody,

My family has been reading this Bible plan since the beginning of the year. It was all of our goals this year to read the whole Bible. We found a 52 week Bible plan that we really like a lot. I just want to encourage you to start at the beginning and read it through in a year. It is such a big accomplishment. Here is the link to the Bible Plan. I hope that you're encouraged to read the Bible and go through with it. Do it with somebody else so you can hold each other accountable. I hope you do this. It's also a great discipline to learn to read your Bible everyday.

Blessings,
Brittany

Another Talebearer Verse

This morning I was reading the Proverbs of the day and I cam across another verse about tale baring. It says, "He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips." This is the second one I've come across in the past couple of days. The Lord has helped me a great deal with not tattling. He showed me how wrong it was and I don't like it when it is done to me. I need to share this verse with my little sister and my little cousins because we catch them tattling on each other sometimes. It's not a good thing to do at all. I pray that you're encouraged by this verse as I was. Have a wonderful day!!!

Blessings,
Brittany

Don't be a Talebearer

Well, this morning I was reading my Bible and I came across a verse in Proverbs 18, which says, "The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, And they go down into the inmost body." This tells me a lot. I think that this verse means when you are a talebearer at first it is like tasting a yummy piece of candy but once you get caught and your parents realize what you were doing it goes down into the inmost body. I don't want that to happen to me. This verse really convicted me because I can be known of tattling. I have gotten a lot better at it since I was a little girl but there still are times when I get full of myself and just want to get people in trouble and tattle on them. I'm not saying that it is right or anything like that. I know that it is sin and it is a 100% wrong to do. So, please pray for me in this area. I hope that you would be convicted by the same thing. I hope that you have a blessed day today!!!

Blessings,
Brittany

Blair is Pregnant

Hello Everybody,


I just wanted to announce to everybody that my cousin, Taylor, and his wife Blair are expecting. She is almost 6 weeks and so excited that she is going to have a baby. We were all so excited when they told us. They told us on New Years Eve. They brought up a little gift for Alexander and Auntie Tracey opened it and it was a onesie hat said, "I'm an uncle." It was so cute and none of us got it at first. Ally was the first one to get it and then we all got excited and started jumping up and down and hugging like crazy. The baby is due on September 6th. We're all so excited.

Blessings,
Brittany
