ok, I also have to laugh at the order you places our twitter handles, you probably didn't realize that my full name is "Jami Meredith"! It was meant to be. Holla!
deuteronomy 7:6, phil 4:8, hebrews 4:16, oh and phil 4:6-7....you may already have them, but they are some of my favs.
love you friend! and that sign is awesome. i would've stopped too :)
What a great list of blessings to be thankful for! My favorite "verse" is all of Psalm 121 :)
my most favoritest verse ever is John 14:27 [27] Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
(John 14:27 ESV)
:)
one of my faves:
2 Corinthians 9:8-12 (ESV)
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times you may abound in every good work. As it is written, ‘He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.’ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.”
thanks for starting my day off by being blessing focused. and even more so, the giver of those blessings. he is good!
also, wish i was in your sunday school class;)
You'll get there girl! And those kiddos are going to have their socks blessed off by your work!
My favorite right now:
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
<3 you
hey! i love this post. thanks for being so honest about yourself b/c we're all in the same boat, well, at least i am. esp on point 1 about being a servant. i have many other fine qualitie though! haha. what are the lessons you need verses for? i can help if you need. also, you should use bible gateway and try out the verses in NIrV, which is NIV for early readers. i love it for my kids.
I love John 8:12.
I needed to hear this today!! I am the SAME way!! I get so frustrated when my kids CONSTANTLY need something from me!! I want to have a servant's heart, but really struggle with it!!
I loved helping you out...and I agree with Hannah-I want to be in your SS class!
Psalm 51:10 "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap the harvest if we do not give up."
Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."
I love how honest you are! I am a patient person but I cringe when I hear I wanna drink 80 million times a day :)...it always seems to be the second I sit down not 15 seconds prior when I was standing in the kitchen...lol
here is my go to scripture : For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 1 tim 1:7
You are so honest and open... love you so much friend!! Can we please skype soon? I want to meet you face to face!!!
