My Journey Into Happiness & Godliness: 12/13/11

One of the main reasons I have set up this blog is to gather advice and information on how I can be guided through my Journey into Christianity. "We need others around us who know Jesus. Who want God to influence their lives", "The Spiritual Starter Kit" Lesson # 5 - The value of other believers.

I am not perfect nor do I want to be, I am not here to change the world, or the way people think. I am just here to be happy and put the past behind me, wash away all the pain and view the world differently to the way I see it today. I want to be happy in no matter what I do, feel completeness and at peace with the world and admire all the beautiful things it has to offer me, my family and all my beautiful friends. I know this can happen it is just a matter of believing!

Please, I urge you to join my site and welcome any thoughts you may have or advice that will help me on my way! This site would not work without your input. Please note I am dyslexic, so, if anyone wishes to volunteer to edit my posts, by all means feel free.

Thought of the Morning

Smile and the world will smile with you. It is amazing how your own temperament and feelings can affect those around you. I am on this Journey to make myself a better and happier person. It seems to be working. I am much more calmer and grateful, in turn making me a nicer person to be around. My husband is so nice to me and willing to do lots of stuff for me. Amazing it's it. Thank you I am truly grateful.

A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.

Films

Just glancing down my DVD Bookcase to find a film for the children to watch while they have their wind down time and saw my Favorite film.

Just wanted to share with you, to all you romantics out there, this is a very heartfelt film, I so want to live and grow old together with my amazing husband. He is my soul mate, best friend and my lover!!
Found this bible verse and thought it was very apt for me, I should read it when I am stressed with daily life and motherhood.
Proverbs 17:9
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. (NLT)

Bible Class

I must say what a wonder group of ladies. I had a brilliant time at bible class today. I managed to be brave and leave the children. The topic is one that I am learning about now, so all great!
Thank you Ladies for a wonderful time.

Scripture Verses

Philippians 4:4-7 New Living Translation (NLT) 4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Tiredness ... but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
(2 Timothy 3:16). So, it makes sense for us to carry God's Word in our hearts through memorization, to be ready to face any problem, every difficulty, and whatsoever challenge that life can send our way.
Proverbs 15:18 says: “A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger appeases contention.”
”A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord … ”(Psalm 37:23)
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Useful Quotations

"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself'" (Matthew 22:37-39)
Appreciate both the big things and the little things in life. Be grateful--even through the low points--remembering that the sweet would not be quite so sweet without the sour. (How to get the love of Christ -Wikihow)
Find the energy of God by getting in place to encourage yourself, accept and then pass on the blessings of man by the will of the Lord God so you are a peacemaker -- one of "the sons[/daughters] of God." (Matthew 5)

Useful Prayers

"Dear Father, I need You. I acknowledge that I have been directing my own life and that, as a result, I have sinned against You. I thank You that You have forgiven my sins through Christ's death on the cross for me. I now invite Christ to again take His place on the throne of my life. Fill me with the Holy Spirit as You commanded me to be filled, and as You promised in Your Word that You would do if I asked in faith. I now thank You for directing my life and for filling me with the Holy Spirit."
Prayer for Me and My Family May the mind of Christ, my Savour, live in me from day to day By his love and power controlling all I do and say. May the Word of God dwell richly in my heart from hour to hour, So that all may see I triumph only through his power. May the peace of God, my Father, rule my life in everything, That I may be calm to comfort sick and sorrowing. May I run the race before me, strong and brave to face the foe, Looking only unto Jesus as I onward go. -Kate B. Wilkinson 1859 – 1928
"I am sorry for my sin, all my wrong doing; I want to change, and I truly thank you for everything and that I am now forgiven and saved from the penalty for my sins as a free gift, in Jesus' name."
