Oh well

It was a good idea.
I can not believe I have already missed a day with my Bible Verse a  Day idea.
Oh well. I will chalk it up to "life with 5 kids is mind boggling"!! And each day ends up getting away from me. But in all honesty I have learned to be OK with this!!
Life is all in how you look at it.
You can look at it in a negative light. Or you can choose a positive light.
For me it was easy to find the negative and run with it.
I have learned through MUCH Error and a little trial too that my life is what I make it.
I have learned through my children to live each day like it is a new adventure.
I have learned through hardship in my marriage that marriage is a promise to God not a contract between Clay and I.
I have learned through loosing a best friend to LOVE like there is No Tomorrow.
(R.I.P. Lee miss you so much)
Life is all about what you make it.
Wow I just looked up at the title about this blog and it was supposed to be about forgetting to write a Bible verse yesterday and it so went down a completely unmarked dirt road. I do have a tendency to babble and forget my own point often!! Life is good to me that way ;)

OK so on to a Bible Verse (HA HA HA)
James 1:12 God blesses the people who patiently endure testing.

Ummm HELLO how is this not the perfect verse for parenting!!

Proverbs 4
1. Hear, O sons, a fathers instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight,

I wrote this Bible verse yesterday, to be my verse for today, hit save and walked away.
This morning was MOPS. Our guest speaker was Pastor Scott Wylie. He is the Youth Pastor at our church Colonial Baptist in Cary, NC. He handed out a sheet for us to follow, as I glance down I see most if not all the verses he has written down for us are from Proverbs!! Pastor Wylie talked to us about disciplines and the different stages/levels. He shared some great concepts with us. In fact I think I will contact him about Katrina's fits and how to better handle them.

Blogs Bible verse

I came across this one just now
"A youngster's heart is filled with foolishness, but discipline will drive it away."
going to look it up in a few different versions of the Bible and see how they all translate.

OK
so in looking for another Bible on my app I ran into problems with the app. It conked. Downloaded another app and it ended up being an app that read the Bible to you. I thought how neat and it started off from the beginning.
I went to Proverbs which is where I have been reading from during "mommy time". I sat and listened and Katrina came to check out what I was listening to. I love this verse and thought I would share it
Proverbs 1:10
"My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent."

Which lead me to an idea to toss in the air with myself.
?A Bible verse a day for Jacapaka??
could I do it?
I would love to find 1 a day all about parenting, possibly marriage since they do go hand in hand.
hmmmmm
