Day 191

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship." Romans 12:1

I chose this verse because in church and bible study we are starting a new study called becoming an R12 Christian. It is about how to have true spirituality according to Jesus, and uses Romans 12 as the guide. I am going to do a verse from Romans 12 for the next 21 days, until I have done all of Romans 12.

Yesterday I went to Ikea with Anna, and she said she wished there was a cake decorating section, so I introduced her to Michaels...then we went to a cafe called Tommy's for lunch. Today I have Coco for most of the day, cause she is getting a cavity filled, so I have her till 1045, then again at 1230. Might go for a hike in the morning with her, then just chill and watch TV after cause she will be out of it (they are giving her some Nitrous)

Day 190

"There is no one like you, O LORD, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears." 1 Chronicles 17:20

I chose this one because I love praising God, and this verse does that so well.

I am dog sitting a Rhodesian Ridgeback this weekend...His name is Kruger, he is 8, and good with kids.

Day 189

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1

I chose this verse because I don't know what will happen. I can make all the plans I want to, but if they are not God's plans, then they will not happen.

Day 188

"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Deuteronomy 6:5

I chose this verse because love is so important. The reason we can lover other humans is that God loved us, and Jesus showed us what true love is. We need to show a little more love instead if just talking about it. Get up early to drive a friend, stay late to help a coworker, give a donation to the food bank, hug a crying child, talk to the person no one wants to talk to. Show the world that Christians live by/with love.

Had an amazing picnic yesterday. I made pasta salad and cube salad. Kristel made mini quiche, Anna made Key Lime pie, We had Cheese and crackers for snacks, watched the boats, the scuba divers, the sun glistening on the water... It was a nice day, sunny and around 20, here is a few pics.

Day 187

"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe." Proverbs 29:25

I just see the truth in this verse.

Going on a picnic with Anna and Kristel to Whytecliff park. I made cube salad and pasta salad

Day 186

"The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden,like a spring whose waters never fail." Isaiah 58:11

I chose this verse because I like knowing that my needs will be satisfied no matter where I am. My needs, not my wants or likes or desires, but what I need!

Hiking today...

Day 185

"For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel." Ezra 7:10

I chose this verse because it was part of my morning devotions, and it got me thinking, what if more people would study the Bible, and actually followed what was written in it. Then I remembered, people used to do that, and crime rates were down, divorce rates were down...

Did two hikes yesterday, got one today and one tomorrow. Bought new contacts (between the contacts and the cream for the rash, I am on a spending halt.

I have a second job interview with Blockbuster on Sunday. The one I had yesterday went well, was with the assistant manager who used to work at an AW so we chatted about the sillyness of it for a little. The interview is on Sunday, so heres hoping and praying that they can offer me weekends and a few evenings.


Thats about all I can think of at the moment.
