I have chosen Mathew 17:20 for this month. I have always struggled with having enough faith. I continue to work on this and do not know if I will ever get to where I could tell a mountain to move but I do need to get to a point where I will at least have the faith that he will give me and I will act on the faith to do it and trust that in some way that mountain will be moved. I know we all have things in our lives that could be change if we just had the faith and commitment to do it. Hope everyone is having a great day. I am sooooo looking forward to July and seeing all of you.
Matthew 17:20He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Room to improve
Mike and I have been blessed to finally find a church we really like and connect with. Our one pastor wears jeans and teaches from an Ipad, the other from an Iphone...we fit right in haha, Ava likes the nursery, although she cries when other babies cry and then the care giver has to come find us...such a stinker.
Anyways, we talked about this verse in church on Sunday and it stuck with me.
2 Peter 1:5-8
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We should always being trying to improve upon showing others love, kindness, patience, and our godliness. Instead of saying to yourself, you wish you did these things more or thinking you will practice it more, you should just do it. Don't just show interest in the idea, but rather show others that you can do it.

Faith
FAITH
IN A WORLD FULL OF GREED
DISHONESTY AND DESPAIR
NEVER LOSE FAITH
GOD IS THERE
WHEN YOU FEEL ALONE
AND LOSE SIGHT
THE DEVILS STRONG BUT HE
WON’T WIN THIS FIGHT
GOD IS THERE TO GUIDE
YOU THROUGH
PRAY FROM THE HEART
HE HAS ROOM FOR YOU
PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS
AND GOD TO COME INTO YOUR HEART
HE’LL GUIDE YOU AND SHOW YOU
IT’S THE RIGHT START
GOD WILL HELP YOU
FIGHT THE TEMPTATION
BUT MAKE THE EFFORT
AND PRAY FOR SALVATION
IF YOU THINK YOUR LOST
YOU’LL ACT LIKE IT TO
BUT WHEN GOD’S ON YOUR SIDE
YOU’LL FEEL BRAND NEW
THINGS CAN GET HARD
AND BE PRETTY ROUGH
GOD IS THE ANSWER
HE’LL MAKE YOU TOUGH
NO MATTER YOUR TROUBLE
OR TRIBULATION
LEAVE IT TO GOD AND HE’LL
SHOW YOU, YOUR DESTINATION
I found this on the wide world of internet and though it was a nice read hope u like it and helps someone out today

Psalm 40
This is a verse that Beth Moore used for a book I read titled "Get Out of That Pit" and with all that has been going on this past week or so it is good to be reminded that God is there to lift me up and out of "my pit".
Another interesting thing that she said was that we can become "comfortable" in our pits and that is so true!
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to hear me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set me foot upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.
Psalm 40:1-3

I chose this verse because they needed someone to take over Mom's Morning Out and the Lord gave me the courage to take it over.
Psalm 18 : 1-3
I love you,O LORD.
The LORD is my rock,my fortress and deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise and I am saved from my enemies.

psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the lord
The maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip
he who watches over you will not slumber;
Indeed, he who watches over israel
will neither slumber or sleep.
The lord watches over you
the lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The lord will keep you from all harm
he will watch over your life;
the lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

nor the moon by night.
The lord will keep you from all harm
he will watch over your life;
the lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
