A Verse to Meditate On

Hey all!

I have so enjoyed

the comments your left introducing

yourselves! :)

My goal is to

get to each of your blogs

and get to know you

better but things have

been a lil bit crazy

since getting back to Fl.

so it has been taking a little

bit longer then I anticipated :)

The poll is still up for

22 more hours so if you have

not voted please vote!

I would love your opinion :)

Taken in NY at Jason's families house :)

So the point of this

post was to

share a verse with you

that has really challenged

me over the last few days.

It is found in James

(absolutely LOVE that book

I have been listening to it

over and over

today as I have been cleaning the house).

"My dear brothers and sisters,

take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,  because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires."

James 1:19-20

I took that verse

and started to try to

apply it to my daily life.

So often I am

incredibly quick to speak

and quick to become angry

and slow to listen.

But that lifestyle does

not produce the righteousness

that my God desires.

 I want to live my life to bring

honor and glory to Him.

Which means surrendering things to

Him.

Is it easy?

No.

But I have found

that since writing this

verse out,

putting it above my kitchen sink

and meditating on it

I have started to think

more before I speak.
I want to portray Jesus
especially to the ones
I love most and
spend the most time with
namely-my husband.
Am I perfect?
Uh.
No.
But God is gracious
and my husband is so patient :)
What verses have you been meditating on lately?
