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,

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!!!

In Christ,

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!!

Proverbs 12:1

Well, I'm so sorry that it has been so long since I've posted. Well, this morning I was reading my Proverbs of the day and the first verse stuck out to me. It is Proverbs 12:1, which says, "Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid."My mom told me this yesterday when I talked over her as she was bringing something to me. I want to love instruction as this verse says we should. This verse is a great one to keep in mind or even memorize because we can all find ourselves in situations like this. I hope this encourages you and I hope you have a wonderful day today!!!

Hannah's Prayer

Hello,

I just want to write Hannah's Prayer to encourage everybody.

Hannah's Prayer

And Hannah prayed and said:

"My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your Salvation. No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty men are broken and those who stumbled are girded with strength. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, and the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children has become feeble. The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap. To set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's And He has set the world upon them. He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness. For by strength no man shall prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; From heaven He will thunder against them. The lord ill judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to His king, and exalt the horn of His anointed."

This just encourages me. I hope it encourages you also. Have a blessed day!!

What a Great Weekend!

Well, this weekend we decided to pack everything up and head to Lynchburg, VA to take a weekend trip to celebrate Taylor, my cousins, 18 birthday. We had a blast from snow tubing to bowling to eating out for dinners to spending time with family.

We left Friday morning and went snow tubing Friday afternoon at Wintergreen Resort in VA. Then we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. We had a fun packed day. All of the kids were exhausted. Oh, wait, but there is more. We went to the store just to get a couple of things for breakfast. Taylor's birthday was Saturday and we all got him some presents. Auntie Tracey could not wait for him to open his presents so he opened them. We got him some games so we all played a game for a long time. We didn't got to bed until 12:30.

Saturday was a lot of fun!! We had breakfast in the cabin we stayed in. Uncle Jim was the cook that morning. I took like an hour to make everything for breakfast. We went a bumped around town and just had fun. We went to this really good Hibachi Buffet for lunch. They had everything you could imagine. It was so YUMMY!!!! We had a blast! Then, we went bowling.

Then, we went back to the cabin and Mr. and Mrs. Vogal brought us pies and pizza. They brought a couple of there friends that could play instruments and we all would sing to the music. It was a full house that night. But, it builds memories for the little ones. Remembering every year coming here and singing with everybody is so fun.

Sunday was just a chill out kind of day. We listened to church and then we all had leftover pizza and pies for lunch. We went to the park and played and then headed home after we gathered all of our stuff from the cabin.

We had a blessed weekend!!

Blessings,
Brittany

What a Great Weekend!

Psalm 21

Hello Everybody,

This morning I was reading my Bible reading for the day and the title of Psalm 21 is "Joy in the Salvation of the Lord." I love that, it just is a beautiful saying. The Psalm is a beautiful Psalm also. I need to remember this one and keep going back to read it. I love the last verse, which says, "Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power." I think that is such a sweet verse. I know that I could do this better but it just encourages me to go back and read it over and over again. Please pray for me in this area.

Friends Loveth!!

Well, this morning I was reading my Bible and I read Proverbs 17 which has a really great verse in it. We all need to apply this verse to our lives. It's Proverbs 17:17, it says," A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born to adversity." This is something that we all need to remember to do to our friends. I know that I've been working on being a better communicator to friends and writing them letters and emailing more. I pray that maybe you could work on it with me. If you could use prayer on this area just write a comment and I'll make sure that I pray for you. Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Psalm 12

Well, good morning!!! I was reading my Bible this morning and I read Psalm 12. It talks a lot about flattery and the lips. The verse that stuck out to me is, "May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaks proud things." I thought that that is something that I really need to work on because that is something I tend to do. Not really flattery but I need to watch what I say and not interrupt people when they're speaking.

Thanks,
Brittany

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!!!

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.

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!!!

Pray for my Mom

Hello,

You all could pray for my mom. She has been sick since this past Sunday and is still somewhat sick. Please pray that the Lord would restore her back to health and that her stomach would feel better. Thank you guys so very much. She would really appreciate your prayers right know.

Thanks,
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!!!

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,

This Past Weekend!!!!

Hello Everybody,

This past weekend was a very fun weekend. Well, first of all most of everybody between the Tsantles and the Whitaker Family is sick with the cold. We were coughing like crazy and we would all laugh when we would start because we called it out coughing chorus. That was the start of our wonderful weekend. Friday, we had our big dinner, so, we cooked everything during the day. At the Tsantles it was us,Taylor and Blair, and Aunt Laura. It was an interesting meal!!! All of the food was wonderful and everybody enjoyed it so much. We open our presents on Christmas Eve so we did that and of course it became a mess with all of the wrapping paper everywhere.

Christmas Day we started off the morning with brunch. We had Christmas morning cake, eggs, bacon, and ham. It was really good!!!! Then we all kind of relaxed the rest of the afternoon. We had some people who weren't feeling well. Then Taylor and Blair came again and we had just a bunch of hors d'oeuvres for dinner that night. Then after dinner we read through Luke 1and 2. Oh, can't forget that it started snowing on Christmas Day!!!! Then we opened our stockings and all of the kids played with their little toys. Then, we watched "It's A Wonderful Life". Then people started fading after the movie. But, we had a fun day!!!

This was a really good Christmas!!!!


I hope that your holiday was wonderful just like ours was!!!

Hate Evil and Fear the Lord

Well, this morning I was reading my Bible and in Proverbs 7:13 it says, "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arroganve and the evil way And the precerse mouth I hate." It just reminds me how important it is to hate evil and not be prideful. I tend to struggle with that sometimes. I need to fear the Lord with my whole heart. They're times when I do but I need to do it all of the time. I know that nobody is perfect and I know that I just need to do a better job at it. Please pray for me and I pray that you will work on the same things also. Have a blessed day and I hope that this encourages you.

Six Things that the Lord Hates

Hello Everybody,

Well, this morning I was reading my Bible and I came across a passage of scripture in Proverbs 6. It's a passage that I've read many time but this time when I read it it really convicted me. The passage says, "These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hand that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And on who sows discord among brethren." Proverbs 6: 16-19 I was convicted yesterday in our sermon that Mr. Brown gave us and how we should share the gospel with every person you see and not just keep your mouth shut. That is Sin and I haven't really thought of it that way. I need to and I need to practice sharing the Gospel more often to people I meet.
