Francine Rivers Contest

Francine Rivers is one of my all time favorite authors. Her stories always keep me up all night to read the end and in the end they always pull on my heart strings.
Tyndale is doing in a giveway in her honor. Go to http://www.tyndale.com/blog/?p=1042 to enter! You have a chance to win her entire library of books! I think I or my family must own most of them but that's ok. :)

VBall Game 2010

We made it to 1 volleyball game this year - the last one. I love going to Husker VB games! The atmosphere is like none other. And is also reminds me how tall and talented these girls really are. On TV it's easy for me to miss it. They all look the same height on TV. GO BIG RED!

This time I decided to memorize a verse that's already familiar to me. This is my favorite verse! But when I try to bring it to mind, I can't remember the exact words. And when I try to share it with someone else, I can never remember the reference. So now it'll be cemented in my memory!
Isaiah 26:3-4 NKJV
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.

My verse for March 1st...
How can I repay the Lord for all His acts of kindness to me? I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the Lord.
Psalm 116:12-13 NET

This is such a blessing to me! I can't believe I'm 5 verses in and I'm sticking with it. I realize when I think about how I'm doing I need to praise God in my excitement rather than fall into the sin of pride. This is a joy and blessing to me! I'm excited about how this is growing my relationship with my Savior. I always thought I was bad at Scripture memorization. But I think I must be getting a little help. :)

How are your New Year's resolutions going? Did you make any new commitments in 2011 that you are excited about growing in? Is there something new that God has shown you already this year and you have the ability to see the lesson? I find that I usually can't see until later in the year. I get so busy and caught up. It seems like it takes the reminder of Christmas for me to bring the past year in focus.

Comfort Food

This is what comfort food means to me...
Onion Gravy & Verenika
Zweiback & Ham
As Easter draws closer I'm getting excited to go to Granny's house again and have these foods. We have basically the same thing at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. And I like it that way!!
The table is always full, and I'm always stuffed. There's barely enough room for dessert!

I forgot to post it for the 15th of January...
Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. Psalm 143:8

Today...
Daniel answered and said, 'Blessed be the name of God forever and ever.  For wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. Daniel 2:20-21 NKJV

This is getting challenging but it's the good kind! Sorta like when you working out and you feel the burn but you push ahead. I know this is good exercise for my mind and heart!
