Verse Thursday: Psalm 71:14-16

My first "Verse Thursday"!

Psalm 71:14-16

"But I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more.

My mouth shall tell of Your righteous acts and of Your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is more than I know.

I will come in the strength and with the mighty acts of the Lord God; I will mention and praise Your righteousness, even Yours alone."

Amplified Bible (AMP)

post everyday?

Hey blogosphere!

I'm back and I'm trying something new. I would like to try to post everyday with each day of the week having a theme. Most of them will be very short. Here's what I've come up with:

Study Sunday - Bible studies and devotionals, etc
hyMnonday - hymn lyrics, music, and history
Tunes Tuesday - modern music and videos
AWEdnesday - pictures and videos to remind us to be in awe of God (pronounced "Awe Wednesday")
Verse Thursday - God's Word
Fact Friday - Bible facts, history, etc.
Silly Saturday - comics from Reverend Fun and videos from Blimey Cow are some examples

What do you think? I'm not a professional blogger. I'm not even a good writer, but I will try to keep this going. Here we go!

Sincerely,
a modern nun

Love Letter

Dear one,

   You are never alone.

Love,
GOD

true love

Dear reader,

Just a couple of quick thoughts I would like to jot down.

true love (tr-oo   l-u-h-v) noun:

I don't deserve it, but God let His innocent baby boy take the death penalty for my wickedness.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace. He's my Prince and far better than prince charming. I may be a Sleeping Beauty waiting for my prince, but my Prince of Peace is waiting for me to give Him my life because He gave His quite literally.

I'm going to give God the best years of my life, and by doing so I will give Him all my life since it will all be the best with Him.

Sincerely,
Nun the wiser

Hiatus

Dear blogosphere,

I will be officially taking a break from blogging for a little while. Things are getting pretty busy at work and school. Hope y'all understand.

I leave you for a little while with a new fave verse:

Romans 13:12 (NIV)

"The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light."

Sincerely,

a modern nun

Testing, testing 1-2-3...

Hey reader,

As I have been previously mentioning, I've gone back to the basics to grow more as a Christian. You have to start somewhere, and when you're in a slum it's been to re-trace your steps. So.. Step 1: Bible Memory Verses.
The three verses that I have stated in previous blog posts as my memory verses are safely tucked away in my brain now. Just to test myself... the following verses are typed from memory:

Philippians 4:8 KJV (or nkjv?)
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

1 Corinthians 1:18 Amplified
"For the story of the cross is shear absurdity and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition, but to us who are being saved it is [the manifestation] of the power of God."

Joshua 1:9 KJV
"Have not I commanded thee,
be strong and of good courage,
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed,
for the LORD thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest."

WOOHOO, I think... let me double check real quick.. one second... ... ... ok, so
Phil.4:8 is KJV and
1Cor.1:18 says "the story AND MESSAGE" and shear is actually spelled SHEER in this instance and the brackets include the word "of'" and
I might have messed up the punctuation in Josh.1:9...
but I think this still calls for a hearty WOOHOO!!!

This isn't the end. I'll still keep memorizing more. I just haven't decided on the next one.
I'm open for suggestions for new memory verses!!! I'd love to hear what scripture has made an impact on you! Leave a comment below! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!


And for my less-than-One-Year-Bible-challenge:
I'm at March 24's entry... still WAAAY behind, I'm tired of giving up on it. I'm going to keep trying.
Join me! Here's the One Year Bible website: http://oneyearbibleonline.com/
If you had trouble reading through the Bible in one year but succeeded, have any suggestions???

New Verse For My Blog!

Hello cyberspace!

Your favorite blogging nun here. I just wanted to share a verse that I found while reading for my less-than-a-One-Year-Bible-challenge. (For an explanation of this challenge see my blogpost: http://vowsofamodernnun.blogspot.com/2013/05/sorry.html ) It struck a bell with me as a "nun."

"So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows." Psalm 61:8 (KJV)

Being a "nun" (aka: a young woman who has made certain vows to God as to how she will live for Him) is a daily choice. It's not easy. It never was and never will be, but I will try my hardest to sing praises to Him everyday anyway.

Sincerely,
Sister Bethany
