HAPPY NEW YEAR

God has given us a NEW opportunity to serve HIM!  Through SCRIPTURE MEMORY we can become strong.  Through SCRIPTURE MEMORY we can become empowered.  Through SCRIPTURE MEMORY we can build our faith.  Through SCRIPTURE MEMORY we CAN through Christ who strengthens us!!

GET IT??  We can become what God wants us to become......

So, what is God calling you to become....what does He want to make visible to you this year...

My God is BIG!   My God is POWERFUL!  My God is my SHIELD, my PROTECTOR...Here is my FIRST MEMORY VERSE FOR 2011...(this verse appears in my spiral bound index cards)

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NIV

LAST DAY OF THE YEAR...

Looking back sometimes make you wonder what if...
Looking back sometimes make you say should have...
Looking back sometimes make you say WOW...
Looking back on this year, for me, makes me say I AM BLESSED...


God has done some AMAZING things this year in my life and the lives of my family.  
*We traveled to see family and friends exactly one year ago...
*We traveled to Houston, TX, many times...
*We got called to Denver, CO...
*We moved through a blizzard and were safe...
*We made new friends & had to say goodbye to old friends...
*WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED!!!


"Lord, You are good and Your mercies endureth FOREVER.."


The New Year brings NEW STARTS...God is the God of second chances...What are you going to do for HIM this year?  How are you going to better yourself?  What steps are you going to take to bring family & friends to know our Savior?  How are you going to handle hardships? 


For me, those questions are resolved...I'm going to learn more Scripture this year, so I can overcome evil with good.   WE need to be able to stand firm against the evil one when he tries to knock us down!!!  The first step in doing that is with Scripture...


READY................
                                              SET..............

GO!!!!

Look Out 2011

I am looking forward to seeing what God is going to do with a group of ladies who are willing to hide God's Word in our hearts. We all know where our strength comes from. This last year has been one of the hardest years for Scott and I, with the Lord's help we have made it through. We are praying and asking God for a better year in 2011. What better way to start than with hiding God's Word in our heart and sharing it with others. Also, praying for each other as a group, there is strength in numbers.

Pam and I are excited about joining together with our family and friends to see this group grow. I must thank Pam for being the technical one and doing such a great job on this blog page.

Here are a couple of prayer requests: Joanne Neilson - starting chemo treatments today for ovarian cancer; Bonnie Bryan - in hospital graft vs host in alot of pain and weak

2 DAYS TO GO....

I am so excited about this New Year.  I'm ready to see what God has in store for us.  We are followers of God, leaders in our community and sisters in Christ.  


I want to make sure everyone knows what to do.  Aunt Debbie or I will post a blog on the 1st & 15th of every month. So, here is a list...

1. Sign-in to this blog:  daughtersoftheking2011.blogspot.com
2. Become a follower of this blog.
3. On the 1st & 15th of every month, log in and comment on the blog for those days with YOUR Bible verse for the next two weeks.
4. Please make sure you put the reference and the version you use.
5. If you have a prayer request, you can briefly comment on your request as well.

We want to make sure we pray for each other and be an encouragement to each other this year.  REMEMBER, spread the word, let your family and friends know about this.  It's a GREAT opportunity to hide God's Word in your hearts!!

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

Psalm 119:105

Helpful Reminders

I have had some people ask me if I am sending out reminders about posting to our Blog. The answer is no.  There are too many people to remind, BUT I, personally, have set my calendar on my phone to remind me to post to the blog every 1st & 15th of the month.  If you have a phone that can do that, I encourage you to do the same as I did.

 "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin againt thee." Ps. 119:11 KJV

READY...SET...GO!!!!!

So here we go...I'm off to start a "New Thing" this year.  I want to dig a little deeper in my daily walk with God.  I read how Beth Moore is doing a Bible Memory Blog for 6,000+ women and I thought I could do that with my family and friends.  So here it is!!  We are going to start JANUARY 1, 2011, with 24 Scriptures Memorized by DECEMBER 31, 2011. 


Here is what Aunt Debbie & I thought...Since time is so tight, Beth Moore wanted us to post by 8 AM on the 1st & 15th of every month, I figured by midnight of the 1st & 15th we could have our Scripture posted on this BLOG!! I know many ladies use many different versions of the Bible, so we would like you to post your ONE verse and the version you use.  That's all we have to do...AND if you have a prayer request you would like to share with us for that 2 week period feel free to post that as well.


We want to be connected and feel a unity amongst this new group.  We all come from different backgrounds, religions, and cultures, so please lets come together and truly BECOME sisters.  We do have one thing in common...We are all Christians!! We are all DAUGHTERS OF THE KING!!!


I am so very excited that you want to join us in becoming...You say, "Becoming what?"  Becoming a friend, becoming a better Christian, becoming a support, becoming what God calls us to become!!!


Don't give up!  Don't get discouraged! Don't worry!  If you forget to post, or forget to memorize a Scripture for the two weeks.  JUMP BACK IN!!  We are here, we are all in the same boat, family, work, sports, cleaning, running errands, etc.  That's our lives!! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER! 


Our first post will be JANUARY 1, 2011!!  Will you join us?
