June 2012

Yeah! Two accomplishments!

First finishing up the Color and Theme Project!!! I learned a lot for the past two months! And a had lots of fun looking for the colors! God really showed me that He cares so much for me and for all of you!

Second… We made it to the half of the year!!! But I think I’ll write about it tomorrow!

Well, I wanted to share something that I stared doing on May 15th and it has been life changing for me! It is also why there is a smile face on my last post that is titled Be thankful.

Every night I write 5 things that I’m thankful to God for that day! I realized that my days are way better and that just by thanking God for little things such as the rain, sun, a pretty flower or anything is helping overcome many of the giants I’ve been blogging about including worries… You know, when you make it part of your life to with a sincere heart thank God, He fills your heart with His love and you can’t help but to feel so sure and confident of the one you serve!

I suggest you try to do that…

Be blessed! And stay with us!

Day 182 – Be thankful

Color and Theme Project: Week 9 – Color: Black – Theme: Worry

I claim this scripture to overcome worry:

“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” Colossians 3:15

Day 181 – The care taker!

Color and Theme Project: Week 9 – Color: Black – Theme: Worry

I claim this scripture to overcome worry:

“If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?” Matthew 6:30

Day 180 – Under the tree

Color and Theme Project: Week 9 – Color: Black – Theme: Worry

I claim this scripture to overcome worry:

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Psalms 55:22

(I spotted them weeks ago… I knew then that I would take a picture when the color for the project was black. They are just around the corner from my house. Is amazing how by taking a picture everyday you train your eyes to see what is in front of you! Aren’t they cute??)

Day 179 – A walk on the shore

Color and Theme Project: Week 9 – Color: Black – Theme: Worry

I claim this scripture to overcome worry:

“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” Psalms 43:5

Day 178 – At the Mystic Dock

Color and Theme Project: Week 9 – Color: Black – Theme: Worry

I claim this scripture to overcome worry:

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

(This is one of the places I usually go before I go to work. I take many pictures there… It is not only a great source for pictures but also a great place to pray, relax and be worry free!)

Day 177 – God will meet all your needs!

Color and Theme Project: Week 9 – Color: Black – Theme: Worry

I claim this scripture to overcome worry:

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

(Mondays are now just really busy for me… I got a part time job and I’m getting very tired lately but I know that is temporary so it helps to think like that… So, I haven’t been able to spend a lot of time taking pictures but I’m so grateful that God keeps on providing them! And more important than the pictures is His word that is what truly transforms our lives! I’ve been living this verse of Philippians! I’ve seen God meet all my needs! I’m so grateful for His love!)

Color and Theme Project Week #9

Hi everyone!

Here we are! Week #9! Yeah! And only 6 days away from day 183 which is half of 2012!

So, for this final week of the project, the color is black and the theme is worry!

Here is what Dr. David Jeremiah says about it:

“How much of your day is spent worrying—not planning for tomorrow or showing care over legitimate concerns, but allowing the spirit of worry to take over your day?  The ineffectiveness of worry focuses on the future over which we have no control. Jesus teaches on the uselessness of worry: It doesn’t rob tomorrow of its sorrow. It robs today of its strength. Is the habit of worry interfering with your Christian life? Do you find your heart is divided between the worrisome issues of your life and giving God your future? Jesus’ teaching on worry-free living and how to avoid the “what if” mentality is what we need to learn to overcome worry. Advise your worriers to adopt a new system of priorities, making God the focus of their pursuits and seeking Him first.”

Well, I was thinking that since the color is black, I will be taking black and white photos! I haven’t done since the color white… So, I think is okay, right?? I hope so! And I will try my best to make the main focus of the picture an actually black subject but if that doesn’t happen… well no worries right??

Stay with us! 🙂

Day 177 – God’s grace

Color and Theme Project: Week 8 – Color: Green – Theme: Resentment

I claim this scripture to overcome resentment:

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” Ephesians 1:7

Day 176 – Simplicity!

Color and Theme Project: Week 8 – Color: Green – Theme: Resentment

I claim this scripture to overcome resentment:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:20-21

(For the past 3 days I’ve been posting the passage of Romans 12 from verse 17 to 21. It is a very powerful passage and a great remainder of how we should deal with people that hurt us…)
