Project 365...#2

Hey, Everyone! I found some days this week were difficult to take pictures, especially if I worked that day. I couldn't take a picture of my patients! I had a hard time with my son leaving to go back to school for his last semester at MSU. You would think I'd be used to the idea by now, but reality set in for me. John is hoping to leave Michigan this Spring for graduate school and most of you know my daughter lives in New York. It is still an adjustment for this Mom. I know it is the natural progression and I'm happy they are both secure enough to leave the nest! I'd appreciate some prayers if you don't mind! :)

Have a great day!
Love,

For the Millionth time

I'm needing a little Peace and Joy tonight. I also need to listen and surrender it all again! I know this is just between me and God, but chances are someone else out there could stand to hear Cece sing this song!


Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. (Romans 5:1-5)

His Daughter,

Sometimes I forget...

God is who He says He is.
God can do what He says He can do...
I am who God says I am. **
I can do all things through Christ. **
God's Word is alive and active in me.

I'm Believing God.

"I am a this not a that."

Hoping you remember!

Project 365 ... #1

Here is my first week of random photos. I wonder if I can find Bible verses to go along with each day?

1). Took pics of my Christmas Cards. (1 John 4:7)
2). Started reading the Bible Chronologically again. I hope to memorize and meditate on 24 Scripture verses this year! (Psalm 1:2)
3). I saw two movies in one day. They were both good. I can't believe I sat in a theater for almost 5 hours! (Deuteronomy 4:29)
4). My sister, DeNaze and I found this little treasure at my mom's house and have been passing it back and forth for awhile now. On Christmas Day I found it in my box of laundry detergent! I found it again here. :) (Deuteronomy 7:6)

This should be a lot of fun!
Have a good week!
Love,

Photo Every Day

I just decided to join some friends for Project 365. Sara is hosting it!
I will be taking one photo each day for the year 2009 and posting it.

If you want to participate in this with me, here are the details:

1. Grab the code on my sidebar and put it on your own sidebar.
2. Sunday will be 365 day. So, on Sundays, post your pictures from the week. You can post them as a slide show or individually with a description for each. The original post said to post your picture every day, but I didn't think I would be able to follow through with that....hence Sundays!
3. Leave me a comment so I know you have posted and can visit to see your pics!!!
4. Don't let this become a chore!! This should be fun! If you miss some days......it's okay!!!

If you need more help go to this site.

I want to have more FUN in 2009 so I think this should do the trick!
Love,

My 1st Memory Verse

"And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." (Romans 5:5)

I chose this verse to memorize because I have learned that often times hurt people hurt people.

Grateful for His Word,

Cover to Cover...is done!

Satan tried really hard to get me to quit reading the Bible Cover to Cover. I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but I didn't do my final post. I read the last week of reading but was not in a good place. I think it all began when I received an "Anonymous" comment on one of my posts. I tried to shake it but honestly, I couldn't. Satan used someone who didn't have the courage to put their name on the comment. I took it personally. That was just the beginning. I haven't been able to fully understand what happened since then. It was not good. I was telling a friend of mine how I felt when I needed God the most is when He seemed the most distant. I wanted to Believe Him but I couldn't. She told me something I hope to never forget: She said that God hasn't changed, it was me who changed. I was the one who was distancing myself from Him. I was in the middle of a war. Confusion and doubt overtook me. I had several situations that caused me to get on my knees. I. Didn't. When my faith was tested I failed miserably. I am still begging forgiveness. Satan wanted me to believe SO many lies. It is embarrassing to admit this to you, but I can't be fake on here and pretend things are perfect when they are definitely not.

I was going to write a final post for the year and it was going to be this: "THE END".

I had never read through the Bible cover to cover. My excuse for finishing the blog was because of the commitment I had made last year this time. There were so many opportunities to quit but something wouldn't let me. I now know without a shadow of doubt it was God Himself. There was so much I didn't understand and skipped over a lot but still learned SO much. So many times I felt inferior to the other women who seemed to "get it" and I felt there was a club of sorts and I just didn't seem to fit in. I didn't have any deep insights and the verses that lingered were the familiar ones that most have known since childhood. I decided I am going to buy a new chronological Bible tomorrow and read through it again with Karen.

In the final week of reading I had to read Hebrews 11. In there were the words that define the title of my blog. It came from my first ever Bible study, "Believing God". I find Him so amazing that during my most difficult week is when He chose to have me read these words.
By faith...

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1)

By faith... I decided I will pick myself up AGAIN and Believe God to do the utterly impossible in my life. I am going to make a commitment to memorize some Scripture verses this year with a lot of the Siestas on Beth Moore's blog. This is something new for me. I need Him more this year than last and I hope to have some Scriptures ready when I am tested next time.



Happy New Year!
Love,
Angie xoxo
