24 Verses - January 15th - Psalm 19:14

I am so a day late in posting this. So sorry!! Sad part is that on Thursday I even told myself "Ok tomorrow post your next verse for 2010." Yep that didn't happen, but better late than never right??

My next verse and prayer for 2010 is...




This was not the verse I had originally picked out for today, but as the Lord would have it He had other plans.

After some homeschooling struggles yesterday my husband and I were doing our nightly devotional and reading Proverbs. Afterward he was feeding our 6 month old son and I was going through the Bible realizing I totally spaced posting this that day.

That is when I flipped to this verse above.

Talk about a smack in the face! (I love those moments though... humbling and eye opening)

Yesterday there were some struggles and times I lost my cool with my 6 year old while doing school. Not something I am ever proud of, but it happens and I hate it!

This is something I have been so desperately trying to work on. I want the words from my mouth to be building up and not tearing down.I don't want to lose my cool. Of course that isn't always the case. Especially in homeschooling or my marriage some days.

Which is exactly what my next post is about. A very bold honest post of how I am not always positive. I stumble and fall as a parent and tear down more then I care to admit, but for the sake of wanting to be completely honest and open about my scripted life... an honest blogger I will be.

I am very thankful the Lord smacked me in the face with this verse. It is way more fitting of the cry of my heart right now then the one I originally was going to meditate on.

Please Lord hear this prayer of my heart and help me through this constant journey of working on my words and heart to be pleasing to you. As well as pleasing and encouraging to everyone in my life and around me. Thank you for hearing these words and for your love and grace. In your most precious name...
