1I lift my eyes unto the hills. Where does my help come from? 2My help comes from the Lord. The Maker of heaven and earth. 3He will not let you foot slip. He who watches over you will not slumber; 4Indeed He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5The Lord watches over you. The Lord is your shade at your right hand; 6The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7The Lord will keep you from harm. He will watch over you life; 8The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

A friend always sees the best in you, Although they've known you at your worst. They laugh with you in the good times, When storms threaten, they'll be there first. Lord, thank You for all the gifts You give; Each one makes our life seem more worthwhile. But one of the finest gifts you've given us Is the warmth of friendship
Awww! Look at Lilly with a bow in her hair, or fur, or whatever...
This is a bow I got from Build-A-Bear. I put it on her, and she looks SO cute in it!!! Well, I hope you guys are having a good day! Good night, or Good evening or whatever! Bye!
(Get ready to read)
I've been thinking a lot about Christianity lately - Witnessing, praying, and reading my Bible. I am not the best witness, by a long shot! I guess because I'm so shy. But, I'm working on that! ;) I'm not very good at reading my Bible either. I do read my Bible every day, well, I try to, and I do pray everyday. But, we could all do better, right?
And, I was thinking of angels being around me, too. I could just picture angels surrounding me and having me in a big bubble that protects me from everything.
I don't think we realize how often Jesus protects us. We could be walking down the side of the road, and a car drives past us - we don't think about it, but that car could have slid off the road and killed us! But, maybe God protected us and the people in the car, and kept the car from hitting us.
A family from our church had a house fire not too long ago. They have seven kids and one of their daughters is one of my bestest friends. Actually today is her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETHANY!!!! She's turning 14. But, anyway, her and her sister's room caught on fire. The firemen said that if the they would have been in bed at the moment, that one of them or both have them could have died!!! And if one of them would have gotten out, she would have third degree burns! But, luckily, they were all in the living room, which is on the other side of the house, watching a movie together, so all of them were okay. And, they all (including some people who knew them) were in a circle rejoicing and thanking God that they were all okay. And, some of the firemen looked confused. Here they are, they just had a fire and they're rejoicing? ;)
And someone is our church's mother is in the hospital. (So, please pray for her) We went to visit her today. (They're Christians by the way) And, her heart rate was racing and she was brought to the hospital. And her husband was watching her heart rate on the meter thing. And he said he watched her heart rate go from like 120 to like 60 in a split second. No one could explain how, not even the doctors knew what happened, but her and her husband knew what happened. ;)
Isn't God FANTASTIC?!?!?!?!
I love this picture! ☺In fact, it's my new wallpaper on my desktop! Every time I see pictures like this, it makes me smile and look forward to going to Heaven with Jesus then I will be one of those children sitting on Jesus' lap. Sigh... I just can't wait until we get to go to Heaven. Can you? I know I can't!
Matthew 14:25-33
25During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.
27But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." 28"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." 29"Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" 31Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" 32And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
This is a song I really like called "The Lost Get Found" by Britt Nicole. It makes me want to be a better witness and reminds me that only through Christians we can reach the lost. Does that make sense? Enjoy!!!
Did you like it? Comment and tell me if you liked it or not. Thanks! Have a FANTASTIC day!
Hola! It's me! I felt like posting something and since I've been in a painting mood, I thought I'd post about some of the "art" I've been painting. I put quotation marks on art because it's not really art, it's just what I felt like doing. I hope you like them!
It's not art until you splatter paint on a piece of paper! LOL
As you can see, I like to paint from the corner. :) I hope you liked them! :) Sleep well, and Good night!
Friday afternoon, Saturday, and part of Sunday, I went on a little trip with a family from our church. I had so much fun! We went swimming, hiking, put-puting, and watching fireworks! Last night fireworks were set off because of fourth of July. I took some pictures...
This is the cabin we stayed in. I just think it's so beautiful back there.
This is the look over the rail of the cabin. There were a few other cabins around, but it was still private.
The room I slept in...
And these are just some of the pools there...
To the right, (I just couldn't fit it in the picture) there was a little water park thing there for the little kids. We not only swam here, but there was another pool we swam in, I just didn't get a picture of it. I had so much fun! Have a good day!
I have some great news! Precious is home!!!!! Friday night she came back home, and I wasn't there. And Dad told me over the phone that Precious had came back home! But, I don't think she feels all that well. She's been laying around, sneezing, and other stuff that may be the sign of a kitty cold. She slept all day yesterday. Just still pray for her, that she'll feel better. Oh, and I'd like to thank everyone who prayed that she'd come home. Without your prayers, she may have not came home. So, thank you everyone who prayed! It really means a lot to me! And, while I was gone with the family from church, their daughter (who is 7, 8 in August) heard me talking to my dad on the phone about Precious. After I got off the phone, she asked me what was wrong. I told her that my cat, Precious, had come home. And she said that God probably fed her and took care of her while she was gone. It was so cute! She is so cute! And, for all I know, God could have fed Precious and took care of her while she was gone. Well, anyway, thank you guys for your all prayers and I'm so glad that Precious is home!
I need you guys to pray for my oldest cat, Precious. We went on vacation about a week ago and left our cats at home. We got our neighbor to look after them for us. After we left, no one has seen Precious. Not our neighbor, not us, not anyone! Oreo was fine, but Precious was nowhere to be found. We just hope she's alright! We're getting worried! No one has seen her for almost two weeks now! I was just wondering if you guys could pray for us and her. She was my second cat, and I've had ever since I was four. She has always loved to be outside a lot, exploring, but she is usually back by now. We have had this happen a few times before, but she always came back. I'm hoping this will be one of those things where in a few days she'll come home. Just pray that she's okay, and that we find her. I'll let you guys know if we find her or not, and I'll be sure to keep you updated. Thank you!
