Three of My Favorite Bible Verses:

For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.  Jeremiah 29:11

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.  Romans 8:37

Having cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7

Thankful Thursday ~ 1/7/2021

 

Here are some things that made me thankful/smile/excited this week:

~~~~~~~~

~A New Beginning! ~ I know, technically, it is just another day but New Year's Day is always exciting for me.  A fresh start.  A new year.  A new beginning :)  Happy 2021!!!

~Back to Routine!  Monday we started back to our normal routines.  (As normal as possible, anyway :)  Doug and Kaylee went back to work.  Laken went back to virtual school and I went back to peace and quiet as I go about my normal everyday tasks :)  Don't get me wrong; I love having them home.  But...eventually we all have to get back at it :)

~Bible Verses In My Planner!  Planners that I've had in the past included Bible verses weekly.  My current planner does not.  I saw someone on facebook calling on her friends to tell their favorite Bible verse so she could add it to her planner on a weekly basis and also include prayer for that particular friend of the week.  I loved the idea!  As of the time I write this, I still need 20 more verses to complete the year of 2021.  I would love it if you would add your favorite Bible verse to your comment.  I'm hoping to fill all 52 weeks :)

~LoseIt! LoseIt! is an app that I am now using to count my calories, keep track of my food intake and my exercise.  MyWW was just too expensive.  I can subscribe to Premium LoseIt! for 1/6 of the price of MyWW.  So far I'm loving it!  Counting calories is so much easier than points :)

~School Starting Back???  I got a notice from Laken's school that a January 19th is the "tentative" start back date for the hybrid in-school classes.  So Laken will "possibly" be going TO school on January 19th.  It will still be every other week in school alternating with virtual weeks.  Laken has mixed emotions.  So do I...

What are you thankful for/smiling/exited about this week?  Tell me all the good stuff!

P.S. I love for you to stop by MY SHOP and give it some love!

Help Wanted!!! ~ Your Favorite Bible Verse is????

In the year 2021, I want to include scripture in my weekly planner.

I need 52 verses.  So what is your favorite Bible Verse?  I'm also going to write your name by the verse in my planner so I remember to pray for you at that time.

You can leave me a comment with your verse or email me at collettaskitchensink@yahoo.com .

Heart to Heart ~ Being Prepared ~ 3/16/20

In this season of panic, worry and fear have you been stockpiling necessities along with the rest of the population?  I'll admit to stocking up on food and products but not obsessively so.  Just enough to be prepared for a "hunkering down" period of two weeks.

Scripture instructs us to always be prepared to tell others about the hope we have in Christ: 

"In your hearts revere Christ as Lord.  Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.  But do this with gentleness and respect."

1 Peter 3:15

Do you have a stockpile of answers and reasons for your peace and faith in this trying time?  Are you searching for that peace?  How will we, you AND I, respond during the scary days ahead.  Are you prepared?  Are WE prepared to give a reason for the hope that we have in Christ Jesus Our Lord?

Blessings and Prayers,

Colletta

"Servants, do what you're told by your earthly masters.  And don't just do the minimum that will get you by.  Do your best.  Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you'll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance.  Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you're serving is Christ.  The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible.  Being a follower of Jesus doesn't cover up bad work."

Colossians 3:23-25 MSG

Help me, Father, to be faithful to You even in my work.
