Live Scripture Page

Doing this word really got to me and I have soo many verses for it that I really do not know where to start at !

My journaling on the page reads ,

We are given our own life to LIVE and God guides us down the roads in the in the directions that he wants us to go down , And even if we do go astray and tho we may go off on our own way or question his love GOD is there for us always he died so that we may live ! As we should Honor Him for what hes done

The book of Deuteronomy has so many great verses that played well with the word Live and touched me in one way or another I have 7 from that book alone the 2 that's made the page written out are

Deuteronomy 10 ;12-13 So now Israel, what do you think God expects from you? Just this: Live in his presence in holy reverence, follow the road he sets out for you, love him, serve God, your God, with everything you have in you, obey the commandments and regulations of God that I'm commanding you today—live a good life.

Deuteronomy 30; 16 And I command you today: Love God, your God. Walk in his ways. Keep his commandments, regulations, and rules so that you will live, really live, live exuberantly, blessed by God, your God, in the land you are about to enter and possess.

Others that stood out but didn't get wrote out on the page are

Deuteronomy 4;39 - Deuteronomy 4;9 - Deuteronomy 25;13 - Deuteronomy 30;6 and Deuteronomy 11;18

Ecclesiastes 11; 7 -11 Oh, how sweet the light of day, And how wonderful to live in the sunshine! Even if you live a long time, don't take a single day for granted. Take delight in each light-filled hour, Remembering that there will also be many dark days And that most of what comes your way is smoke. 9 You who are young, make the most of your youth. Relish your youthful vigor. Follow the impulses of your heart. If something looks good to you, pursue it. But know also that not just anything goes; You have to answer to God for every last bit of it. 10 Live footloose and fancy-free— You won't be young forever. Youth lasts about as long as smoke.

Isaiah 33; 15-16The answer's simple: Live right, speak the truth, despise exploitation, refuse bribes, reject violence, avoid evil amusements.This is how you raise your standard of living! A safe and stable way to live. A nourishing, satisfying way to live

Joy Scripture Challange -- and books review !

The word for the week this week is JOY and God is so wonderful about bringing Joy into my life I'm excited to share the post about this word ! So I am going to JUMP right in to sharing the scriptures with this word that stand out to me So bare with and thanks for reading it its pretty long !

1 Chronicles 16:23 Sing to God, everyone and everything! Get out his salvation news every day! Publish his glory among the godless nations, his wonders to all races and religions. And why? Because God is great—well worth praising! No god or goddess comes close in honor. All the popular gods are stuff and nonsense, but God made the cosmos! Splendor and majesty flow out of him, strength and joy fill his place.

Job 22: 26-30 "You'll take delight in God, the Mighty One, and look to him joyfully, boldly.You'll pray to him and he'll listen; he'll help you do what you've promised.You'll decide what you want and it will happen; your life will be bathed in light.To those who feel low you'll say, 'Chin up! Be brave!' and God will save them.Yes, even the guilty will escape, through God's grace in your life."

Proverbs 15:30 A twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart, and good news makes you feel fit as a fiddle.

Acts 2:28 You have made known to me the paths of life you will fill me with joy in your presence

And as always the other verses that stood out to me and I also want to add them to the post are as follows !

Ecclesiastes 5:18 - John 15:11 - Romans 14:17 - 1 Corinthians 7:29 - Psalms 113:4

And i feel the need to share the verse for this one cause it stands out to me for those who are struggling from losing a loved one And as Ive made a few sympathy cards in the last few days and got news of another friend losing his mother this week I wanna share it

2 Timothy 1: 3-4 Every time I say your name in prayer—which is practically all the time—I thank God for you, the God I worship with my whole life in the tradition of my ancestors. I miss you a lot, especially when I remember that last tearful good-bye, and I look forward to a joy-packed reunion.

My journaling on the page reads as follows ,
The Joy that God has brought into my life is nothing short of amazing even when times have been hard theres always Joy that comes after the storm I love ability in being a child of God and having the Joy and love that he offers to me and everyone

As some of you may know here lately I've been reading alot more then crafting and Ive been reading books by the Author Karen Kingsberry if you haven't ever read any of her books I highly recommend them Ive made it through 3 of hers so far in the last 2 months

Where Yeasterday Lives - this one hit home with me because it is about losing a parent unexpectedly and then finding your self back in your hometown dealing with many mixed emotions about your faith and different things in your life ! I liked it alot and I do recommend it to any one

When Joy Came To Stay - This one all I can say is wow ! its a story dealing about a woman who gave a child up for adoption and lived with it for many years keeping it to her self ! but further more it deals with a subject that alot of people alot of Christians like to sweep under a rug and try and admit doesn't exist it deals alot with depression ! And a undying faith in God ! Very Very Good book

On Every Side - This one wow I don't know where to begin with my take on this book other then to say it really got to me in so many ways on so many levels First of all it deals with the subject of a parent stricken with cancer and dying from it and with Grama having been in that situation that's the first thing that struck out to me its also about a brother and sister separated in the foster care system for many yr and a faith that has been tested pushed aside and even doubt with blame and alot of regret , I just finished reading this one last night or i should say at 3 am this morning it got to me that much I just couldn't put it down until I finished it and with the word this week being Joy that's a sense I felt as i continued to read each page of this book , Its almost like i was there watching the scene unfold my self and the book is truly amazing If you have never read a christian fiction book , ever doubted your faith or even questioned God and his very existence and purpose for you in your life ! Please get this book and read it !

I pray today that each of you that read my blog today that maybe in some way it touches you , and that each and every one of you are safe , I am blessed and so full of my own happiness and joys in life that i want to share them with every one , and I am so grateful to God for the many wonderful family and friends that he has blessed me with and even for the things that may lie in the path ahead ! the new friends that I may make , I hope that this blog even if it touches just one person in a way that moves them closer to you Christ then I have done something good and I am grateful for that ! Please lord keep those I love safe you know the many prayer request and topics in my heart LORD ! ---- Even if i don't get to say them all aloud ! please know they are there ! .. amen !

Thank you for stopping by and reading this ! I know as always Ive tended to get long winded but this was another one of them post where i just prayed for God to guide me and give me the words to speak as I wrote it out ! I hope you have a blessed and wonderful day ! Make sure you also check out Christinas page for her take on the word Joy also !

Listen -- Scripture Challange Page (this ones long )

Ive got to start this post out with a song ! The song is by Brandon Heath and its called Wait and See !


Lyrics:I was born in Tennessee Late July humidity Doctor said I was lucky to be alive I’ve been trouble since the day that I got here Trouble till the day that I disappear That’ll be the day that I finally get it right There is hope for me yet Because God won’t forget All the plans he’s made for me I have to wait and see He’s not finished with me yet I never really was that good in school I talked too much, broke the rules Teacher thought I was hopeless fool alright I don’t know how but I made it through It’s one of those things that you’ve gotta do But I always had a knack for telling the truth


Chorus Still wondering why I’m here Still wrestling with my fear But oh, He’s up to something And the farther on I go I’ve seen enough to know That I’m, not here for nothing He’s up to something So now’s my time to be a man Follow my heart as far as I can No telling where I’m ending up tonight I never slow down or so it seems But singing my heart it’s one of my dreams All I gotta do is hold on tight






Very good song and a reminder to us that we are all a work and process that we have to Listen to God to learn about his purpose for us and that he will guide us Gods not finished with us yet we are always set to learn something and understand something new I feel honestly every day that Life is a lesson unto God and that by listening to him he will guide us where we need to be

Here are the verses that God to me for this word And as there was no way to write out every one of these and put them on the page alot of them have the book and passages wrote down so i can get back and reread them but I do want to share them with you , The book of Deuteronomy touched me alot with this word so alot of my verses are from that book

I truly love this verse as to me its speaks volumes and very loud ones to me at that

Deuteronomy 4:29-But even there, if you seek God, your God, you'll be able to find him if you're serious, looking for him with your whole heart and soul. When troubles come and all these awful things happen to you, in future days you will come back to God, your God, and listen obediently to what he says. God, your God, is above all a compassionate God. In the end he will not abandon you, he won't bring you to ruin, he won't forget the covenant with your ancestors which he swore to them.

Deuteronomy 11:13-From now on if you listen obediently to the commandments that I am commanding you today, love God, your God, and serve him with everything you have within you, he'll take charge of sending the rain at the right time, both autumn and spring rains, so that you'll be able to harvest your grain, your grapes, your olives. He'll make sure there's plenty of grass for your animals. You'll have plenty to eat.


Deuteronomy 12:28-Be vigilant, listen obediently to these words that I command you so that you'll have a good life, you and your children, for a long, long time, doing what is good and right in the eyes of God, your God.

Job 22:26-"You'll take delight in God, the Mighty One, and look to him joyfully, boldly. You'll pray to him and he'll listen; he'll help you do what you've promised. You'll decide what you want and it will happen; your life will be bathed in light. To those who feel low you'll say, 'Chin up! Be brave!' and God will save them. Yes, even the guilty will escape, escape through God's grace in your life."

Proverbs 4:20-[ Learn It by Heart ] Dear friend, listen well to my words; tune your ears to my voice. Keep my message in plain view at all times. Concentrate! Learn it by heart! Those who discover these words live, really live; body and soul, they're bursting with health.

Proverbs 8:32-"So, my dear friends, listen carefully; those who embrace these my ways are most blessed. Mark a life of discipline and live wisely; don't squander your precious life. Blessed the man, blessed the woman, who listens to me, awake and ready for me each morning, alert and responsive as I start my day's work. When you find me, you find life, real life, to say nothing of God's good pleasure. But if you wrong me, you damage your very soul; when you reject me, you're flirting with death

Jeremiah 29:12"-When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen.

What else could possibly need to be said after that verse there ! When we call his name and pray to him Hes there HE WILL LISTEN

My journaling for the page reads

It is so important to stop and listen to all of the amazing things God talks about to us in our every day lives Listen he Does

I really got alot out of this word and I hope that you enjoyed reading my take on it as well ! Have a Blessed Day and Thanks for stoping by
