Enjoying God today. . .

. . . . Gave me such an incredible feeling! I took a stroll around the backyard, picking up some pebbles and looking at the beautiful flowers. It was a little windy, but it was really peaceful. After having a few rough weeks, I think I needed time to just enjoy what God has created. Believe me, it really does help.


Here are a few verses I'm working on memorizing:

Psalm 9:10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

2 Corininthians 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

It's good to have something in mind to repeat to yourself when life gets tough.

I'm Letting Go. . .

Have you ever held on to something from your past, that just filled you with so much guilt? Believe me, I know the feeling. It really puts a gigantic stumbling block in your walk with God. I know the feeling so well.

The thing about God's love is that we sometimes feel so unworthy of it that we allow these negative thoughts to invade our mind, and we start to give up. Then when we give up, we don't know how to get back.

I remember saying prayers to God, confessing to Him. I have done it more than once. I knew He listened, but I guess I expected some feeling of reassurance that I was forgiven. I guess I just didn't feel it.

I have suffered with this guilt for a few years. Today, I knew something needed to change. God will always help us, He will not forsake those who seek him. But we also need to help ourselves. When we notice those feelings coming back, we must pray at once. I am even planning on memorizing some scripture that would be perfect to say to myself when those feelings arise. We also need to remove factors in our life that lead to a negative attitude.

I made this part of my new years resolution. In reality, I know it really should have happened a very long time ago. With God's loving kindness, I know I can succeed.

Let me introduce myself. . . .

My name is Rebecca. Becca. . .Becky. .. friends and family call me either one of the three so you'll see me use nicknames. :o) I have tried blogging before and it didn't turn out well. But now I have so much to discuss with people who are interested. Like-minded people I hope. I don't have many around here. I am a book-worm. I really like sitting in my chair with a book and some hot tea. I enjoy anything home-maker related. Though I do go to a public school, I hope that I am able to home-school my own children one day. I have recently gotten into the issue of modesty and am shocked at how non-existent it can be even among Christians. Considering head-covering full time. Interesting how that's going to work out at school. Throughout my blogging experience my opinions will change because I am still learning. With God's help I hope to continue learning what He would like from me and how I should live as His daughter.

Hope you enjoy my blog!
