my (week ten} memory verse...

{ i am a little late on posting my verse for this week... sorry }

Just a little update...
Honestly, I am a bit surprised to say that so far my Bible verse memorizing has been going really well! It has actually been easier than I thought it would be... (since I thought it would be practically impossible!) Sharing my weekly verses on this blog has definitely helped me to stay accountable! Plus, I quickly save them right from my blog, on to my Kindle & that allows me to study them anytime! The best way to memorize verses is to find a way that works for you... post them in places where you will study them a lot. Choose verses that mean something to you personally & focus on what they really mean. And most of all, pray for God's help!! I know that He will help you, if you ask! Memorizing verses is something that He really wants us to do!

I just have to say thank you to those who have left comments on previous posts, since I started doing this! Your words have really encouraged me! :)

Also, I am so excited, because tonight I am starting a new Bible study with ladies in my church & I am sure that will inspire me in choosing my memory verses in the coming weeks! Yay!!


see my verses from weeks...

a view from the sky...

I was inspired by this song...
On And On by Mat Kearney on Grooveshark

I got really inspired yesterday when I re-discovered these photos as I was looking through my archives! I love when that happens!! I took them from an airplane window, in 2008, somewhere in between Colorado & California! 

I love the beauty of an early morning haze, when you can see all of the layers of the mountains & isn't this view even more beautiful from the sky?! I love it!!

I live in Colorado, so we have a lot of mountains! Everyday when I see them in the distance, I am reminded of God's magnificence & grandeur. Yet there is also this perfect feeling of peace & repose. I love their beauty so much, they are not like anything else 
in nature!! 
I lift up my eyes to the mountains,
where does my help come from? 
My help comes from the LORD, 
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2

inspired by: rifle's fabric collection...

I love so many of the designs by Rifle Paper Co & when I saw this chair upholstered in their beautiful floral design, I fell in love with it!! So, I learned that Rifle has done a fabric collection for Villa Nova & their floral design comes in many different color options. They are all so pretty, but I would really love to have some of this fabric in "Dijon" for some throw pillows! (Too bad I am confused about how to actually buy this...)
