Into the Word Wednesday

So I changed my blog around.. you like? I hated how the header looked and I'm too cheep poor to have a a custom blog design made -Anybody wanna test their talents for free... anybody??? ;)- Anyway, today i'm linking up again with Becky @ Tales of Beauty for Ashes  and i've been reading the book of Ecclesiastes. Loving it so far. One of my favorite chapters of the bible is what I happened to read today: 

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plan and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build, 

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, 

a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away, 

a time to tear and a time to mend, 

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace. 

This is the main thing I struggle with! I want everything to be in MY time. I want everything MY way and I want it NOW. Is anybody else like that? I am constantly reminding my self that it's HIS time and not mine. 

Into the Word Wednesday

This past week I read 2 Peter. This was the first time i've read 2 Peter. When I usually read the bible I always go back to my favorite books (Joshua, Proverbs, Esther) That's why I'm loving this reading plan i've been doing with ECC. 


2 Peter 1:2 is one of my favorite verses in the bible. In fact, it's in the bible 5 times. 

"Grace and Peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord"

Grace and Peace. Two things we have an abundance of... and two things we don't deserve.  Well I can't speak for you but I know I don't deserve it. but I am forever eternally grateful for it. 

In the Word Wednesday: JOB

Today i'm linking up with Becky at Tales of Beauty for Ashes for In the Word Wednesday. Every morning I wake up and grab my iPad and read my bible before my feet hit the floor. (Fletcher willing) It's just how I start my day. Lately i've been following my church's reading plan and we just got through the book of Job. That Job. Oh how I feel for Job. I tend to think of Job as one of the most popular people in the land. You know the friends you have that you feel like they have it made? Perfect house, perfect job, perfect family... so on and on? I think that's how people felt about Job. I mean he woke up every morning and made a sacrifice for each of his kids. He was the perfect follower of Christ. Then one day the Lord tells Satin to tempt Job. To take it all away. Just don't kill him. And that's what Satan did. Killed his servents, burned his sheep, killed his family. but yet (after tearing off his robe and shaving his head) he said this: 

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, 

and naked I will depart.

The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; 

may the name of the LORD be praised."

HE PRAISED THE LORD! After everything that had happened to him he was still praising Him. Could you do that? If that happened to me I think I would be pretty angry... but not Job. Job gave it all up and gave glory to where it was do. In the middle of a storm. 

I wanna be like Job. 

PS- Today i'm also linking up with Wednesday Wander with Twitter. So check that out too!!
