Prepare Me to be a Sanctuary

   Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise:  be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.   Psalm 100:4      I was on facebook, just scrolling through all the different posts, when I noticed this post my Granny had made. She had posted Psalm 100:4.  Seeing this verse was a reminder for me that I have to be thankful at all times, for everything, all the good things, and the not so good things.  I had been pretty bummed most of today, I was upset that my three older brothers and sister in law wouldn't be able to be at our house for Thanksgiving Dinner, Then I read this verse, and I realized that I need to thank God for the family I do have home for Thanksgiving, and be Thankful for everything.  So I wanted to post some things I am especially thankful for: ~I am Thankful that My oldest brother has a wonderful wife and a beautiful baby girl. ~I am Thankful that my next oldest brother is able to se...

This is the day which the L ORD  hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.   And what a wonderful day it is in the Arkansas Ozarks! Blue sky's, sun is shining, 50deg, with wind at 16 miles per hour. Yes, today is great! I am so EXCITED about Thanksgiving!  The Holiday season is my favorite time of the year!  it's just something in the air I guess (I know that sounds kinda cheesy, but hey, it's true!).  The excitement of seeing your family after them being gone all Summer, the fun of shopping for a gift that your sibling or friend will love (while still trying to stay in your price range;-) ).  Also getting to practice your Christmas songs on the Piano, and singing Christmas songs all day!  I just LOVE the holidays! Anyways:-) I have a lot that will be going on in the next month, so I will try to post:-) I found out Friday, that... (pause for dramatic effect) ...  I Won!!! YAY!!! in the essay contest that I posted about on Veterans day:...

   Hey Everyone! My friend Ashley awarded me a blogger recognition award:-) I am suposed to write a little on why I have a blog, and nominate some other people for the award, (I am suposed to nominate 15 people, but I don't know of that many blogs:-) )       I started my blog in August of 2014.  At first the blog was just because I love to write, and I thought writing on a blog would be fun:-)  I had already writen several papers on Proverbs 31, so I posted those.  I started to feel closer to God when I posted, cause the blog was, for lack of a better word, "forcing", me to study my Bible, and think about it so that I could have something to write about it, and I really love my Bible more now:-)   I want to encourage people to love God, and do His will. And that is basically why I write:-) Now people that I will nominate some people:  I nominate Cheyanne Harris at  Sweet ModesTea  , Chelsy Bontrager at  It's A Beautif...

Today is Veterans Day, and I want to thank all our Veterans for serving, and protecting our freedom! :-)   I competed in a essay thing with the VFW, they had me write a paper on Why veterans are important in our Nations History and Future.  So I thought my essay paper would be a great blog post for today:-) Be sure to thank your Veterans today!:-) Why Veterans are Important to Our Nations History and Future              United States Veterans, they have fought our nations battles and defended our country’s citizens and their rights and freedoms.  But are they important in our past?  and how are they going to be important in our future?  Many people are forgetting, or have forgotten, what part our Veterans have to play in our country. I want to tell you why I think they are so important in our country.  1776, the very first American Veterans.  These men fought for our land, to ke...

vs.1. O give thanks unto the L ORD , for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever. vs.2. Let the redeemed of the L ORD  say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy   Psalm 107:1-2      This verse couldn't be more true! "give thanks to the LORD for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever."  God is SO amazingly good!  and He has done so much for me in my life! vs.2. says, "let the redeemed of the LORD say so"  I am a redeemed child of God, and I want to say how thankful I am!      First and foremost I thank Jesus for dying on the cross so that I could be saved.  I want to thank God & my founding fathers for this Amazing Country! I just Love my Country so much!  I also want to thank my Dad, Mom, and Brother, for all three serving our Country, in the United States Marine Corps.  And I would like to say "Happy Birthday!" to the United States Marine Corps 239th Birthday! and happy Birthday to all ...
