scripture challange ~~kindness

Well it is time to post our second weeks word the word we did this week was KINDNESS and the first thing that popped into my head with was something that as kids and even adults we have been taught to learn and to remember and that brings me to the first scripture that i wanted to say something about

THE GOLDEN RULE ~~ Matthew 7-12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you Do Ye even so unto them ( in common words do unto others as you would have them do unto you ) I think that this is so important and that we all need to remember to try and be kind to every one and everything , even tho we may not always agree with what others do or say , try and live ones life as a example to others in the name of Christ and to be kind always

The second verse I have that I want to point out is John 13-34 A new commandment I give unto you that ye love one another as I have loved you
This is another one that to me falls along with Matthew about showing love and kindness , God commands for us to love each other with a love that he has shown us with to love each other in spite of everything Because like his love it is one that comes and goes away , So no matter what even if you don't believe in what a loved one friend or family is doing {and this is a hard one for me sometimes} Show them the kindness to love them regardless !

And my 3rd verse that is written out on my page is Romans 12-10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer…. These are the 3 that i used and wrote out on my page and I think that this one soo well ties in the other 2 with one another ,

we had another awesome bible study this week ! make sure you check out Christina and Bridgetts blogs to read about how the word Kindness touched there hearts this week also !
And because it wouldn't be me I am going to Post the Words to 2 songs that have gotten my attention this week !

The first is
Michael W Smith A New Hallelujah

Can you hear, there's a new song

Breaking out from the children of freedom

Every race and every nation

Sing it out sing a new Hallelujah

Let us sing love to the nations

Bringing hope of the grace that has freed us

Make Him known and make Him famous

Sing it out sing to the new Hallelujah

Chorus

Arise let the church

Arise Let love reach to the other side

Alive come alive

Let the song Arise

Africa sings a new song reaching out with the new Hallelujah

Every son and every daughter everyone sing a new Hallelujah

Chorus

Arise let the song Arise

Let love reach to the other side

Alive come alive Let the song Arise

Bridge Whoa whoa yeah (2x)

Let the song arise(2x)

Let the song arise yeah (2x)

Spoken Let the world sing a new Hallelujah From Africa to Australia From Brazil to China From New York down to Houston!

Chorus

Arise let the church Arise Let love reach to the other side

Alive come alive

Let the song Arise

Everyone sing a new Hallelujah (2x)

this song is soo upbeat and moving its got a amazing beat to it and I just love it ! And is soo true !

the other song that im going to put up is by Jeremy Camp and is another one that i truly love to hear the words too Because its soo true

Jeremy Camp There Will Be A Day

I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that trys to grab
The many trials that seem to never end,
His word declares this truth, that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always I know the journey seems so long
You feel your walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you’ve walked out all alone
Troubled soul don’t lose your heart Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting I can’t wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing….
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face There will be a day, He’ll wipe away the stains, He’ll wipe away the tears, He’ll wipe away the tears…..there will be a day.


Just amazing ! And on that note keep a smile on your face and God in your heart and have a wonderful and blessed day

lots of things to share so beware itll be long :)

Ive also been given some wonderful Blog awards by 2 very dear friends of mine Christina
gave me the kindred spirit award and this is what she wrote about me on it

Amber- for someone I have never met in real life we have been kindred spirits for almost 5 years. She makes me laugh everyday and isn't afraid to keep me grounded and lift my spirits when I need it. She truly is one of my biggest supporters , cheerleaders and best friends. She is a gift I cherish always. I don't think she knows just how much what she wrote means to me nor how much our friendship means ! There isn't much her and i haven't faced together and one day we will meet in person ! I just know it so thank you soo much Christina for that it truly means ALOT ! I will be passing this one on soon ! Am thinking still about it and who it goes too

And Tonya haha me and this girl have been through some mess both good and bad together over the years and she originally made this award for me a while back after we both got started in bloggers world and its funny cause its made its way back to us both now check out the story about it on her blog ! Thanks again girly for sending it back to me ! Thanks for everything and I do miss ya ! She also tagged me and u can read the story about that there but you had to post the 6Th picture in your 6Th album in my pictures well mine aren't in folders but this is kinda funny really this is the 6Th picture in mine and oddly enough it was taken with her , It was the first time wed seen each other again in like 11 years and we went to sears and took some pics and this was one of them , So how cool was it to be tagged ! And to boot the request of the tag took place with her ! haha Pretty cool huh!

As some of you know I am doing the Scripture Challenge with Christina and Bridgett (check back tomorrow on the blog as ill post my page for last week then ) but i just wanted to share with you guys lyrics to a song I came across from casting crowns this morning

Casting Crowns Prayer for a Friend

Lord I lift my friend to you

Ive done all that i know to do, I lift my friend to you

Complicated circumstances have clouded his view

And Lord I lift my friend up to you

I fear that I wont have the words, that he needs to hear

I pray for your wisdom oh God, and a heart that's sincere

And Lord I lift my friend up to you

Lord I lift my friend to you, my best friend in the world

I know he means much more to you

I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do

And Lord I lift my friend up to you'

Cause there's a way that seems so right to him

But you know where that leads

He's becoming a puppet of the world

Too blind to see the strings

And Lord I lift my friend up to you

My friend up to you Lord I lift my friend to you

Ive done all that i know to do, I lift my friend to you

I wanted to share that because sooo often our friends mean so much to us and even tho we may not always tell them it don't take much to ask God to lift them up in Prayer also to help them in the things that may be going on in there lives , Troubles , Sorrows or Happiness even ! true friendships are so hard to find and are such a wonderful blessing !

I hope that you have a blessed and wonderful ! Remember to always keep your chin up in any storm and Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read my ramblings ! God Bless

Proverbs 30-5 ~Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Scripture Challange ---Faith

I am doing a Scripture Challenge Scrapbook with Christina and Bridgett and I am really excited to be doing it with them make sure that you check out both of there pages also Because they did a great job on theres ! Its pretty cool we are all doing (not planned ) different sizes for our books Christina's is a 6x6 Bridgetts and 8x11 and I am doing 8x8. And we are doing the bible study on our own during the week then getting together on Monday nights to discuss it here on line And it was truly awesome to see how we all took the same word and found our own meanings and passages in the bible I do believe they were all different except for one that Bridgett and I had the same but to be meeting across the miles 3 people that have never meet in person to be studying and worshiping God and his Wonderful works and Name its truly amazing and moving ! The Bible Says '
Matthew 18:20~~For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
And let me tell you he was defiantly there with us the other night !

Our word for the week that we did was Faith ! and if you haven't read in the KJV i strongly recommend it Matthew Henrys Comentary here on this site is very well written But it talks alot about Faith and it really made me think alot I also really liked James 5:15'16~ 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
The writing on mine at the top of the page tho says !
I have struggled with my Faith for a very long time , And while I've always Believe in God i haven't been the best at turning over all things to God and letting Him guide me through the storms in life Both Good and Bad SO with this Study and the New Year I vowing to walk a little straighter And let my Faith be my Guidance to God in all I am and Do
Other scriptures that moved me while studying this word are Exodus 19, 5 and 20'14 , Galatians 2,20 , Mathew 6,30 , Luke 7 ,50 and 17,5 , Hebrews 11,1 there were just so many and I'm sure there were many more !
Its true tho so many times in Life I dont have the strongest Faith and Trust that God no matter what the situation is or what point in life it brings me to that even the good and the bad its all Gods will and things do happen for a reason ! I know the saying I've heard it all my life over and over again and its finally sinking into my hardheaded Skull ! THAT GOD DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU CANT HANDLE ! so I'm trying to be a better person and walk a little straighter , turn my cheek to those to hurt me and make my self a better person ! and follow Gods Ways and know that by having the Faith in God that life will be okay ! While writing the blog this morning i was listening to Christinas play list off of her page ( we do this alot with each other i think ) and there was a song on there , Gavin Rossdale - Love Remains The Same I've heard the song a million times on her thing but this morning while writing this the song was one of them that it hit me here are the lyrics to it

Gavin Rossdale -- Love Remains The Same

a thousand times i've seen you standing
gravity like a lunar landing make me want to run till i find yous hut the world away from here, drift to you, you're all i hear everything we know fades to black half the time the world is ending, truth is i am done pretending
i never thought that i had any more to give pushing me so far here i am without you drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made everything will change, love remains the same find a place where we escape take you with me for a space a city bus that sounds just like a fridge walk the streets through seven bars i had to find just out where you are the faces seen to blur they're all the same half the time the world is ending,
truth is i am done pretending i never thought that i had any more to give you're pushing me so far here i am without you drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made everything will change, love remains the same so much more to say, so much to be done don't you trick me out, we shall over come cause our love stays ablaze we should have had the sun c ould have been inside instead we're over here half the time the world is ending, truth is i am done pretending too much time to love defending, you and i are done pretending
i never thought that i had any more to give you're pushing me so far here i am without you drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made everything will change, everything will change
oh, i.........this could last forever oh, i........we could last forever love remains the same love remains the same

How true tho the words to it all I am in just in awe of that song and the way it hit me , Theres a few others that go with the word Faith to me and the means of them in life

Casting Crowns - Praise You In This Storm


I was sure by now That You would have reached down And wiped our tears away Stepped in and saved the day But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining As the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain"I'm with you"And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives And takes away
Chorus:I'll praise You in this storm And I will lift my hands For You are who You are No matter where I am Every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand You never left my side And though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry You raised me up again My strength is almost gone How can I carry on If I can't find You I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from?My help comes from the Lord The maker of heaven and earth

10th Ave North By Your Side

Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
Chours
And I'll be by your side Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in And give you life
I want to give you life

(Chorus 2x)Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go(Chorus 2x

The last 2 years some things in my life have been not as easy or planned as I wanted them to be and both of these songs have made a very huge impact in my life and are a comfort to me ! the words are soo true no matter what God is always By Our side and we can and should Praise him in EVERY storm that is brought before us ! Even on the beautiful summer sunny day rain showers where the rainbows shine bright ! Gods There ! Sorry Folks I got so long winded
But WOW our God is AMAZING and I am so Blessed to have the loved ones and the awesome Friends That I do !

Have Blessed Day !

January ~~~~ Memories Of !

For those of you that know me you know just how hard the month of January is for me and the surrounding situations as to how i feel and why i am not my normal bubbly self during the month , and for those that don't well let me tell ya a little bit of the story , first of all i came across these poems on this site http://www.memoryjar.org/poetry.aspx and wanted to share of a few of the ones that really touched me off of it

TIME

Time cannot steal the treasures That we carry in our hearts.Nor ever dim the shining thoughts Our cherished past imports For the memories of the ones we loved Still cast a gentle glow,To grace our days and light our paths Wherever we may go.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

I found a penny today Just laying on the ground,But it’s not just a penny This little coin I’ve found.Found pennies come from heaven That’s what my Grandpa told me,He said angels toss them down.
Oh, how I loved that story.He said when an angel misses you They toss a penny down,Sometimes just to cheer you up To make a smile of your frown.So don’t pass by that penny When you’re feeling blue,It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

REMEMBER ME

To the living, I am gone.To the sorrowful, I will never return.To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace.And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a short, Gazing at a beautiful sea-- Remember me.
As you look in awe at the mighty forest And its grand majesty—Remember me.
Remember me in your heart,Your thoughts and your memories Of the times we cried,The times we fought,The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me,I will have never gone.

I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN’S RAIN

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow,I am the diamond glint on the snow.I am the sunlight on ripened grain,I am the gentle autumn rain.When you wake in the morning hush I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight,I am the soft starlight at night,Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there – I do not sleep.

Now as to the story of why January is soo hard for me

This is my Grama Hizer and to me she was one of the most amazing people in the world , She raised me for part of my life and i was extremely close to her , She was a jack of all trades and I am almost sure that there wasn't anything that she couldn't do ! For 20 plus years she was a teachers aid in the Fla school system and also worked in the church nursery for just as long . She loved Children and being around them and she loved God and wasn't afraid to tell any one just how much , In Aug of 1998 she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer

and while i hoped and prayed that she would beat it sadly enough she didn't it spread into her lungs and into her brain this all happened in a 6 month time period and was the hardest thing i ever experienced in my life and was something ill never forget , On January 13Th 1999 my Grama went home to Jesus and there hasn't been a day in the last 10 yrs that I haven't thought about her and haven't missed her so very much so many times Ive wanted to call her and ask her about a recipe or something on one of the kids but shes not there for me to make that phone call too so that's made it very hard over the yrs and I know that even tho shes not here for me to talk to shes always there to listen and that's a great comfort !

And then Jan 9 2005 my Grandfather passed away I never got to meet him but i had started talking to him on and off in email and on the phone and through letters from time to time , I do wish i would have been able to one day meet him and I know one day in heaven i will . But even still its hard to lose some one u never meet but that u felt u should know !

And in Jan of 2006 we lost this wonderful lady my Great Grandmother when she passed away it was just a few days before her 95Th birthday, There was so many things that i learned from this lady and I dont think i ever told her just how much she ment to me and how much I treasure the things i did learn , so many things about marriage , faith happiness and even cooking she saw alot in her lifetime and never once let it get her down ... I do soo miss her very much also !

And then in 2009 I know hes not a human or anything like that but hes still a member of our family and we did love him we lost our Dog Konann a few weeks ago ! And to us he did mean alot ! The boys and I are moving on from him being gone seems weird with out him but I know we enjoyed the many many years of happiness that we got from him ! And having him in our lives

So as you can see these are a few reasons as to why the month of January is so very hard for me to deal with I know that you aren't supposed to grieve the loss of a loved one but to celebrate there life and while i do some days i just miss them all so much Each year i try and do a layout in memory of my loved ones I haven't done one for my grandfather or Konann yet but this is the one I did for my grandmothers

Well Ive rambled on enough for this blog maybe i cant get outta my Jan blues now and get in gear and start working on them goals ! My Grama Hizers bday is the 24th of Jan so ill try and make it through the rest of the month ! Thanks for reading and God bless also thanks for all your kind words when Konann died they all meant so much to us all !

HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY !

~A~

RIP Konann 2003 - Jan 6 2009

Its been kind of a sad day around our house today we lost one of our family pets Konann today and everybody around here is really sad ! We have had him and his brother Zeus sense March of 2003, and when we got them they were just bairly big enough to be given away . So we have had him for a long time , We can back home from our trip to Tn and he had gotten realy skinny and sick for some reason while we were gone so weve had him in the house trying to nurse our buddy back up to his old happy playful self, but we werent sure what was wrong with him so that made it hard to do And we just loved him and took care of him until the end ! Well miss the little guy he was a great dog and always loved to play with the boys ! So i ask for a prayer for all of us today and in the upcoming days .. Have a Blessed Day ~

Well miss ya buddy !
