2-18-11: Favorite bible verses

Hello again!
Over the years, I've had several favorite bible verses, and currently still have more than one. So, I thought today I'd share them with you. :)

Psalm 56:3
When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
HCSB


2 Corinthians 4:18
So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen; for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
HCSB

Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
NIV

Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
NIV

1 Timothy 4:12
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
NIV
(4:11-14)
Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.
Message

Song of Songs 2:7
Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you,
by the gazelles and the wild does of the field:
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time
HCSB

What are some of your favorite verses?

2-4-11: New name!

Hello everyone!
I'm excited to tell you that I've got a new name for this blog! I was really trying to think of one this past week, and this is the one that stuck out to me.
A lot of my posts this year are going to be geared towards my personal relationship with my Lord and Savior, my beliefs and other things that fall into these categories. Don't worry though, from time to time I'll also update you on my writing. horse back riding and other completely random activities. :)
I hope you guys have an amazing weekend!

1-31-11: A verse to think about

Hello there!
Here is a recent, favorite verse of mine, I'm giving it to you in two different versions that I've become fond of over the past year, what are your thoughts on this verse? What do you get out of it? Which is your favorite version?
The second halves of the verses get to me, and I'd have to say I like the HCSB best, but HCSB is also my favorite translation for just about anything. :)

Song of Songs 2:7

Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you,
by the gazelles and the wild does of the field:
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time. (HCSB)


Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem,
by the gazelles, yes, by all the wild deer:
Don't excite love, don't stir it up,
until the time is ripe—and you're ready. (Message)

1-28-11: Awake and Alive

Here is a song by one of my favorite bands, Skillet. I just love this song of theirs. So, here are the lyrics and a video with the actual song, :)


I'm at war with the world
And they try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slipping from your arms

It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last

I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive

I'm at war with the world
'Cause I ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what, I can't be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again

I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive

Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up in the dark

I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms, I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you

I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive

Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
