Day 3

This weeks verse: 

"every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." 

James 1:17

 Giving thanks and recognizing that all gifts come from God is something I've really been trying to focus on. And realizing that things or circumstances can be "good" or "perfect" that may not seem it. Trusting the one who created us to know what we need, "And we know that in all things God works for the good for those who love him..." (Romans 8:28) 

Last weeks verse here

 For last weeks verse, I screen captured it and set it as my phone wallpaper, which really helped with memorizing... 

it's laundry day + a new years resolution

Tomorrow we leave for hawaii! Yahooooo. So today there are many full loads of laundry to be done, house to be cleaned, and bathing suits to be packed. Some people love laundry, honestly, I hate it. there is a biggg pile that is built before I finally bring myself to do it. 

My New Years Resolutions are:

-Drink 4 glasses of water a day

-Post a photo to the blog everyday

-Memorize a bible verse each week

I haven't taken the time to memorize verses in a long time, it kind of takes me back to the sunday school days. But there is something great about having those words stored in your mind. When I think about how many song lyrics I have memorized I'm embarrased about how that compares to scripture. I've decided I will share my verse each week, attempt it with me if you like...

"Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5
