Strive to Be Humble

Good Morning!!! Here is a really good quote from J.C. Ryle. It is about being humble and is really a good encouragement to you because everybody can't do all of these things and he's telling us that.

Humility may well be called the queen of the Christian graces. To know our own sinfulness and weakness, and to feel our need of Christ, is the very beginning of saving religion. It is a grace which has always been the distinguishing feature in the character of the holiest saints in every age. Abraham, Moses, Job, David, Daniel and Paul were all eminently humble men. Above all, it is a grace within the reach of every true Christian. All have not money to give away. All have not time and opportunities for working directly for Christ. All have not gifts of speech, tact and knowledge, in order to do good in the world. But all converted people should labor to adorn the doctrine they profess by humility. If they can do nothing else, they can strive to be humble.

Pray for Youngsville!!!!

Hello,

Well, I just want to share with you what our church has been doing the past couple of weeks. We have had the privilege to use the parking lot of the little town restaurant and we get out there and are ministering to the community. We give out hotdogs, chips, pickles, and drinks. We are trying to get to know our community so every Tuesday night we get out there for about three hours and pray talk with people that come and minister to them. You can be praying for us that the Lord would use our church in a mighty way! Thank you for your prayers and thinking of us!!!

Have a blessed day!!! :)

Proverbs 14:3

Good Morning!

I was reading my Bible and I love this verse. It is Proverbs 14:3, which says, "In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise will preserve them." We need to be wise and heed the counsel that the Lord has given us. I know that sometimes I have a mouth of a fool but with the Lords strength I will overcome that foolishness. I pray for you on that!! I hope you have a great day!!

Fun Summer!!!

Hello,

I know I haven't posted in such a long time. At least for me it feels like I haven't posted in decades! My friends from GA came up for almost two weeks. We had such a fun time together! We did everything to taking all of the kids out shopping while Auntie Tracey went out to lunch with a friend to helping clean the house. There were fifteen children in the house. It was very fun but also sometimes very loud. I will post pictures as soon as I get pictures from my friends camera.

Have a blessed day!!

Fear the Lord

Good Morning!

This morning I was reading my Bible and I read Proverbs 8-9. In Proverbs 8:13 it talks about fearing the Lord. The verse says, "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate." Also is Proverbs 9:10 says, " The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." I know I need to fear the Lord more. You can pray for me in that area. We all could probably be praying for each other in this area!! I hope this encourages you today as it has for me. Have a blessed day and if I can pray for you in any way just leave a comment or email me at britsy94@gmail.com

Have a wonderful day!!

God is Our Law Giver

Good Morning!!!!

I have a wonderful verse to share with you this morning! It is Proverbs 7:1-5, which says, "My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands within you. Keep my commands and lives, And y law as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," And call understanding your nearest kin, That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words." This verse tells us that we need to do all of these things unto the Lord. He gave us the Bible as the Law. We are to follow it and keep his commands. I want this to bless everybody and I pray that you Lord convicts you as he has me in this area. Have a blessed day. How can I pray for you today? Leave me a comment or email me at britsy94@gmail.com.

Homemade Bread

Hello,

Yesterday I ran into a little problem. I was supposed to make bread to go with our dinner. I looked at the clock and it was 4 o' clock. I was supposed to start bread by 2:30 to have it fresh for dinner. I did panic a little bit but I searched for a fast wheat bread recipe and I found the perfect one. It rises for 15 minutes and bakes for 30 minutes. It was so nice. This recipe was extremely easy!!!I would very much recommend using it. I'll put the link at the bottom of the post.

Today, I decided to make some for both of our neighbors. I made two loaves and they turned out so pretty. I'm so happy I found this quick recipe that I can make bread in a little over an hour.







I hope you enjoyed these beautiful loaves of bread. I surely did because for the last three years my bread hasn't risen like this. I was overly excited when I saw it rising and it never flopped. My bread always flops. Not anymore. I've made it twice and It hasn't flopped. Here is the link:savoryseasonings.blogspot.com/2009/07/fast-and-easy-whole-wheat-bread.html

Have a blessed day!!

Psalm 76

Good Morning!

I was reading Psalm 76 and just loved it because its all about "The Majesty of God in Judgement." It is such a beautiful, poetic Psalm. Here it is:

"In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel. In Salem also is His tabernacle, And His dwelling place in Zion. There He Broke the arrows of the bow, The shields and sword of battle. You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of pray, The stouthearted were ;plundered; They have sunk into their sleep And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands. At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep. You, Yourself, are to be feared; And who may stand in Your presence When once you are angry? You caused judgement to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still, When God arose to judgement, To deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah Surely the wrath of man shall praise You; With the remainder of wrath you shall gird Yourself. Make vows to the Lord your God, and pay them; Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared. He shall cut off the spirit of princes; He is awesome to the kings of the earth."

I hope you enjoy this. Leave me a comment to let me know what you think of the beautifully written Psalm.

Have a Blessed day!!!

Proverbs 6:16-19

Hello,

I was just reading my Bible and I read Proverbs 6:16-19 which I have read before but I read it again. I never realize how much we do these things. It just happens so easy and we have to purpose to repent for these sins that we do. Proverbs 6:16-19 says, "There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue,hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community" We need to try not to do these things that are listed. The Lord will help us if we ask Him. Be humble enough to ask Him for help in the areas that you struggle with. I know that I struggle with this and I ask that you would pray for me. How can I pray for you? Please leave a comment or email me at britsy94@gmail.com.

Have a great day!

Proverbs 4

Hello,

This morning I was reading Proverbs 4 and I couldn't pick one verse to share with you so I decided to share the whole chapter with everybody. This whole chapter is God giving us fatherly advice on the importance of wisdom. It is such a blessing that the Lord gave us these chapters to teach and show us.


Proverbs 4:1 Hear, [my] children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding; 2 For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law. 3 When I was my father's son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother, 4 He also taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live. 5 Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you. 7 Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [Therefore] get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her. 9 She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you." 10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. 12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble. 13 Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she [is] your life. 14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil. 15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on. 16 For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And their sleep is taken away unless they make [someone] fall. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence. 18 But the path of the just [is] like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked [is] like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble. 20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they [are] life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it [spring] the issues of life. 24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you. 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you. 26 Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established. 27 Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.

I hope this blesses you as much as it blessed me. Have a wonderful and blessed day!!

Proverbs 1:8

Good Morning!!!

Well, this morning I was reading Proverbs 1 and I read my favorite verse in that chapter. It is verse 8, which says, "My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother." That verse says so much to me. It says that I need to hear the wisdom that has been given to me and hear my mother also. Listen to the authorities that the Lord our God has given us!!!

Hope this blesses you and encourages you! How can I pray for you today!!!

Proverbs 31

Hello Everyone,

I don't know if I've posted on this before, but if I have I will do it again. I love this verse so much. It's so beautiful and encouraging to young ladies who love the Lord. I love Proverbs 31:29-30. It's one of my favorite passages in the book of Proverbs. It says, "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." I just love that so much. It encourages me to keep serving in my house and fear the Lord with all my heart and soul. I hope this blessed you and I hope you have a blessed day!!!

Morgan's Surgery

Hello Everybody,

Yesterday morning my sister, Morgan, had to get her tonsils out and her umbilical hernia fixed. She went to the hospital at 8:15 and we were on our way home by 12:00. She was such a good girl. You can be praying for her because she is in a lot of pain. Her throat is hurting her a lot. She was not nervous at all and she is doing wonderful. Here is a picture before her surgery. I think she had just gotten her "giggle juice" (makes you sleepy). Have a wonderful day today and be praying for Morgan. She's in a lot of pain. As you can see we got to color her bed. We had a lot of fun with her. Wake Med was such a great hospital. Have a blessed day.

Psalm 51

Well Hello Everyone,

This morning I was reading my Bible and II wanted to share Psalm 51 with you. This is one of my favorite Psalms. It's so joyful and has so much wisdom and direction in it. I love how it has songs that we know in it also. Here it is:

Psalm 51

Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight-- That You may be found just when you speak, And blameless when you judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part you will make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness that the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation. And uphold me by your generous spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For you do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not desire sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite hear-- These, O God, You will not despise. Do god in your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. Then you shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With Burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.


I just love this section of scripture. It's so encouraging and a blessing that God gives us these verse. I'm so thankful to the Lord for giving us his Word.

Have a blessed day!!

In Christ,
Brittany

God says a lot about the Tongue in Proverbs

I've been meditating on the how powerful the tongue is. I wrote down quite a few verse that I would like to share with you.

1. Proverbs 6:1-2--- My son, if you become surety for you friend, If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger, You are shared by the words of your mouth;

2. Proverbs 8:13--- The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way, And the perverse mouth I hate.

3. Proverbs 10:14--- Wise people store up knowledge, But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

4. Proverbs 10: 19-21--- In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little. The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools dies for a lack of wisdom.

5. Proverbs 12:18--- There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

6. Proverbs 14:3--- In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise will preserve them.

7. Proverbs 17:28--- Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace, when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.

8. Proverbs 21:23--- Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

9. Proverbs 25:11--- A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold and settings of silver.

10. Proverbs 29:11--- A fool vents all his feeling, But a wise man holds them back.

11. Proverbs 29:20--- Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

I love all of these verses. You can pray for me that I would apply them to my life and think more before I speak. Reading all of these again while sharing them with you is just an encouragement to me. I could read these over and over again. I love Proverbs 29:11 just because I want to be a wise man. I don't want to be a fool who says whatever they want to say. I hope that these verses encourage you as much as they have encouraged me.

Have a blessed day!!!

Alabama Tornado

Hello,

On the side of my blog I have pop-ups that you can donate to the Lee, Crawford, and Boyd family who were right in the middle of the tornado. Their houses are destroyed and they need the body of Christ to step up and support them. If you feel like the Lord is telling you to support them then just press "Chip In" on each different pop-up. Have a blessed day and remember to keep these families in our prayers.

Hear the Law of the Lord

This morning I was reading my Bible and I read a verse in Proverbs 28. It says, "One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination." Proverbs 28:9. I think this is a very powerful verse. I can learn a lot from this. When you don't want to hear the law (wisdom) there is no need in even praying to the Lord because your prayer to him at that point is an abomination. This verse is a strong verse. God is very serious. I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Psalm 46:1

Hello,

This morning when I was reading my Bible I was reading Psalm 45-47. That's what was on my Bible plan for today. I love chapter 46 and 47 because when the Tsantles' were adopting Bella there was somewhat of an issue with the Indian tribe that she was from. We were looking for verses that we could remember for her. One of the verses that we came across was Psalm 46:5, which says, "God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn." Another verse is Psalm 47:4, which says, "He will choose our inheritance for us, The excellence of Jacob whom He loves." I love these verses every time I read them.

Have a blessed day!!
