proverbs 3:5

     when asked what my favorite Bible verse is, proverbs 3:5 would be my answer. "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." i love this verse because it applies to my life in almost anything i do.  i have this verse on my wall so every time i walk in my room, i am able to see it. it's the first thing i see when i wake up, and the last thing i see before going to bed. i have such i problem "not leaning on my understanding", so i always try to remember this verse. 
    

     when dealing with difficult situations, i always look at this verse and i entrust my worries to God.  proverbs is my favorite book of the Bible, and when you need something to do, you feel alone, need advice, etc. this is a great book to read. i love how it is filled with a bunch of wise quotes. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding".

friday funnies...

i know of many people who are not mature enough to like these videos. but i, and many others, find them hilarious. they may take a while to watch, but they are really funny.

somebody has a new song out...

brad paisley has released a new song. and it is absolutely amazing. for those of you who like country music, you'll love this song. brad paisley is a guy who writes "country" music, not like the pop country, but real southern, folk-time, country music. that is why i love him so much. i do like all types of country music, but country music that's real country music is what i really fall in love with. so, without further adieu, here is the song...



why God, are you really there?

this is such a popular question. both Christians and non-Christians ask about it all the time. many will answer with "it's all a part of His plan". i know it's all a part of His plan, but non-Christians don't really want to hear that, i believe it is over said, and not explained enough.

there is a movie series based on the janette oke "love comes softly" book series. while i was watching each movie, there were two things that really caught my attention from two of those movies. 

first, was the answer to the question "how is God really there? you can't see him?" from the 7th movie "love takes wing". it was centered around an orphanage, and a doctor who was trying to cure a sickness that was spreading through the town. this doctor used to believe in God, but ever since she'd gone to medical school she was convinced otherwise, and her husband dying did not help her faith. the owner of the orphanage believed in this doctor because she prayed to God every night about this sickness. she explained to the doctor "even though you can't see God, it doesn't mean he's not there. when you went to medical school you learned about germs.  even though you can't see them, you know they exist." this is a great example, even though you can't see germs you know they are there because of all the "work" they are doing. with God, you can't see Him, but you can see the work He is doing through others lives, and you can see that He really exists.

the other line was from the first movie, "love comes softly", and it explains the question "why God?" it doesn't really give a specific answer, but it helps a lot. this is based on a lady who had just lost her husband, and was working with another guy (who lost his wife) and started to fall in love with him. she had never believed in God, but she had asked how in the world he could still believe in God. he lost his wife and his barn was almost burnt to the ground, how could he still trust in a God that caused all this? he explained how he prayed everyday and just knew God would take care of them, but it still wasn't really convincing her. if he trusted God, why would God do this to him and his family? he than said "Missie (his daughter) could be walking right next to me and fall down, that doesn't mean I allowed or caused it to happen." God is always walking right next to us, we may fall or get off path at times, but that doesn't mean God allowed for us to do that.

even though bad things happen to everybody. God will always be right there to pick us back up.

soooo adorable

you may have already seen this, but here's a little something to brighten up your day

look who got a haircut...

This is hilariously ironic, but Bieber got a haircut! Granted, he did get it before my blog post a few days ago, but I had not heard of it until I watched kellie pickler on Ellen on youtube, and for some reason this popped up.  This is somewhat weird, but his little "package" of hair was sold for over $40K, and the money has been donated to the Gentle Barn Foundation (a charity that rescues and rehabilitates animals in need of care). Not only does he look waaay better, but he raised a whole ton of money for my favorite thing on this earth! Here's the link for the whole story (you should really check it out, there's some comparisons to the amount that other celebrity things have sold for): http://www.thisisbrandx.com/2011/03/justin-biebers-hair-sells-for-40668.html
