praising God and being thankful

i LOVE this kind of weather!!! it's clearish sky, alittle windy and nippy but a delight to be outside! you might think that i'm weird but if you do then that probably means that you are not praising God for His creation.

i struggle with not praising the Lord for His amazing lightning, thunder and at times rain. the lightning and the thunder scare me and the rain just is boring and ruins plans. but those are such stupid excuses! we should be praising the Lord for everything He has put on this earth!

i also struggle with not praising the Lord for the bugs, reptiles, and other creepy crawly things that He has made. but, some of them are good for eating some of the other scarier things that crawl on this earth. that i should be thankful for.
I should also be thankful that i live where i live. right now i only have to deal with quarter(maybe alittle bigger) size spiders, ants, beetles, earwigs, moths, mosquitoes and more. but, all of those i can SQUISH!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
i really don't have it all that bad. i should be praising God and thanking Him for the place where He has put me.

Reading God's Word

how many times do we look out a window and say, "oh, it looks like a good day for a run, or, its so nice outside i should really do something out there." and when we actually don't follow through with it we scold ourselves for it?
well, how many times a day do you look at your Bible and say, "i really need to read that." but then just walk away and don't scold yourself for it? how our minds our set about reading our Bible every day is insane! we don't want to do it!! we are so mad that we didn't get ourselves outside but we don't care that we didn't read His word that day! i'm not saying that i haven't done that cause i have. that is the one main reason why i'm writing this. i have committed that sin, about not caring if i didn't read my Bible that day. i want you guys to see that it is a sin and to watch for it. don't be like me where i went for three months making up excuse after excuse about why i couldn't read my Bible that day. DON'T DO THAT!!!!
PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE!!!! you need to open your eyes to make you see that your time with the Lord is the most precious time you can ever get!! the only way you can share the gospel, the only way you can ward off sin is by knowing God's word!!

Jacquie Porter

It is almost a year ago that i wrote my first blog post. So that means its coming up to the anniversary of Bob Porter's death. But the difference with last year and this year is that He is no longer without his wife. Jacquie Porter, Bob's wife died of cancer Sunday, January 17, 2010.
She was like a grandmother to me. She helped my walk with the Lord so much. She live out how a true Christian was supposed to act. Her funeral in this Saturday and it will be very hard....for everyone.
Though her kids four kids are Christians, grown and three are married, they still miss their parents very much. Please pray for their kids. Their names are: Heidi, Rob, Holly, and Ricky. Also pray for Bob's mom. She is still living and was great friends with her daughter-in-law; they took care of each other. Thank you for praying.
