More sermon notes...

Okay, I know... I need to get a notebook and stop taking notes with my iPhone.. Many people probably think I'm texting.. But Im taking notes nonetheless :)

James 1:5-8 Doing Faith- Praying Boldly
Dr Steve Washburn

Do you pray boldly?

-Doing faith involves ramping up our confidence in prayer.
-If anyone lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without looking at our faults!
-He who doubts is like a wave tossed in the ocean by the wind. The doubting man should not receive anything from the Lord, he is a double-minded man.. Unstable in all he does. You need to trust God! 
-We have a habit of doubting God. We need to change our thinking. We should expect a response from God when we ask him a question. You need to start looking for God's answer. James is contrasting between belief and doubt.  
-James is specifically talking about asking God for wisdom, but you can ask God for anything
-The need for divine wisdom is tremendous.
-We need to make God our first choice. Bring your issues to God first! If you are walking with him... Just ask! You need to pray for His will, not your own. We need to give Him credit for His answers! If your not expecting an answer, you're going to miss it! 
-James 4:2 "You do not have, because you do not ask!"
-Help God answer your prayers. Stop asking God to hit a moving target. Sometimes we trust God, sometimes we doubt Him. Just pick a side! God is worthy of your trust.. Are you going to trust Him? You are going to keep doubting God until you consciously choose to trust God! 
-Your trust has to come before God's blessing!
-God hears His children's prayers and answers them!

Thought for the day

Okay, so I'm not a normal teenager. I don't enjoy sneaking out, yelling at my parents or flunking classes. Nope it's not because I'm homeschooled, it's because I have faith in God.
What do you really need? JESUS!
You can tell if you are a genuine disciple if you bear much fruit.
John was executed because he bore fruit.
Think about this! What Jesus to people see when they look at you? A deformed Jesus or a glorious Jesus?
The FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT are fruits of the vine(Jesus)
If you are a branch of the vine, you have the fruits of the spirit. Bearing fruit is also obeying the Lord. Being fruitful means if Jesus says it, do it!!
Jesus says 'my branches are easily recognizable because they bear fruit'
Genuine disciples live in the Word of God! The Lord reveals something fresh and new everytime you read a verse in his Word.
Scripture rebukes us so that we can be thoroughly equipped for very good work.

Latida...

Hello!!!
Well, today is my 15th birthday! We got up at 3:30 to see off my grandparents and aunt, and I couldn't go back to sleep! Jenna just now went back to sleep on the couch. I had a LOT of fun with them! I think I might make some crepes for breakfast and then we will just chill in our PJ's today :)
Grace is ready for a day to sleep, too! She ran into the entertainment center this morning! Ha ha..she has some issues when she's tired :)
I'll blog more soon :)
Oh yeah, and school starts on Monday...yuck!

Wow,....it's been awhile!

Well, I've been quite busy lately... We got home, were home for a few days and my grandparents came to look for houses. After looking at quite a few, they found one for rent. They'll move down here the 27th, I think. Then, they went home and my other grandparents and aunt came! They are still here and we are having a blast! Chillin by the pool, Walking the RiverWalk, and trying to stay cool!
Summer is going by much too quickly. My birthday is on Thursday, and we will start school on Monday :( Sad day.....Oh, well..I'll make it, I'm sure :)
Hmm, what else is new..I finished the Old Testament for the 2nd time!!!!! Now I've read through the entire Bible 1 and 1/2 times!
The reason why I don't blog often is because I use my phone for internet, mainly. There isn't 'An app for that' that's free :) It's just a pain to type a long blog on a phone keypad! If you have an iPhone, you need to check out the 'YouVersion' Bible app (It's what I use) I love it! I also just found Twisty Text Lite, like Text Twist(an MSN game) SOOOOOO addicting!

God Bless,
K

Days of the RV...Part 3?

Mmmkay, a LOT to catch you up on!
We left Beth Bair's house and went to South Dakota.
We saw the Corn Palace, and Wall Drug, and Mt Rushmore...oh, and Bear USA! The bears were soo cute! They walked right in front of the cars! Gracie thought she could take them! But, we gave her a chewstick and all was well!
J and I got really cute zip up hoodies. I don't know when we can wear them in Texas, but... :)
Then, we drove into Wyoming and were astounded at all the beautiful snow-covered mountains and rock formations! Then, we figured, we got this far, why not go to Yellowstone! Sooo...off we went. We spent 2 days in there, and found someone at a gas station nice enough to give us their pass, so we didn't even have to pay for it!
It was SOOOOO pretty! But there was a lot of construction. It was a little difficult in a motorhome, but my Dad is a good driver. We saw Elk, Deer, Moose(s)?, a fox and thennn, a BEAR! So, here's the thing. There were like 20 cars by this side of the road, and this family had their children out of the car! A park ranger came and said, "You need to get back in your car!!!" The park dude left, and the dad said "I'm taking the kids up there" So, he ignored the park ranger and started walking up towards all the other crazy people who were standing out of their cars. Then, we see a bear come running up the hill, across the road, and up the hill on the other side! Now, would you take your kids near a wild BEAR?!?!?

Then, we went through the edge of Montana and spent the night in an Idaho Wal-Mart parking lot. The next day,we drove to Utah. Murray, Utah is David Archuleta's home town, so we stopped and ate lunch there..and we found Murray High, where David went to high school, AND where the 3 Highschool Musical's were filmed! I thought it was pretty cool.

Then we drove almost to Denver, and then got a tweet that David Archuleta was IN Utah when we were! AND we was coming to Denver to do a show that night! The tickets were pretty much sold out though :( Soooo, we started towards Colorado Springs the next morning. We went to the Focus on the Family Campus, and saw the 'Whits End ice cream shoppe' you know, from Adventures in Oddesy?!? J and I used to be obesessed with that radio show!

We have some family in CO Springs, so we went out to dinner with them. We found a campground about 10 miles from their house, and here we are!

The picture uploaoder thing didn't work right now..so I'll post a blog of pictures soon!
