Matthew 16:26 (New Living Translation)
And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
Is anything worth more than your soul?

Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Love is...........

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (New Living Translation)

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Maiden's Quest March 28-29 2008

2008-04-06T14:52:00.028-05:00

In the last weekend of March, I was blessed with the opportunity to go to a Maiden's Quest Retreat. This event was truly Christ centered. The speakers talked about looking at God and getting our eyes off this world. There were two break out sessions. In one I learned to make ribbon flowers, and in the other I learned natural beauty tips. I enjoyed it so much, and I plan on going next year (if it be the Lord's will). Here's the Maiden's Quest Ministries' website: http://www.maidensquestministries.com/

On Good Fiday the Lord allowed me to go on a picnic and to an event @ The Woodlands United Methodist Church. The speaker at the event was a blessing, and the praise and worship was beautiful (it all pointed to God).

Here are some of the pictures:

Jeremiah 29:11 (New King James Version)

2007-10-29T21:29:00.001-05:00

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Matthew 6:25-26 (New King James Version)

2007-09-30T19:55:00.001-05:00

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

1 Timothy 4:12 (The Message)

2007-08-22T22:09:00.001-05:00

Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.

Philippians 4:6 (New King James Version)

2007-08-13T16:57:00.001-05:00

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God....

My mom loves moving things around so much. I like things (for the most part) to stay in one place at least a whole month.

Mom today decided that we would move the couch that was in the downstairs living room back upstairs. How many of you know how heavy a couch can be? The couch thankfully hasn't been moved any futher than the breakfast area (for now).

Hello!

Hi. I'm Beth, a Christian homeschooler desiring to be a godly young woman. I live in Texas. My family is made up of my dad, mom, and two brothers; whom I love very much. Our family has four dogs, a fish, and four goats (all in the city). Some of my intrests are fashion, sewing, cooking, music, reading, blogging, shopping, movies, design, and more.
