impacting verses of the week. (chosen by krystal)

krystal.

We could all use a little encouragement. I thought it would be great to list the verses that have impacted each of us this week! So, here we have it.

1 Corinthians 4:20: For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

Psalm 5:3: In the morning, Oh Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

Zephaniah 3:17: The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.

Psalm 104:3: He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire are his servants.

**sorry it took so long for me to post..

"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" Romans 6:1-2

"We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God." 2 Corinthians 5:20

"From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live." Acts 17:26

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6

"Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls." 1 Peter 1:8-9

Children's names(chosen by texanna).

texanna.

**These names are just names that I think are awesome. These are not necessarily names that I would want to name my children. I will not know what to name my child until I have spent nine months with him or her and gotten to know how he or she reacts to certain things. Radman and I will name our children based on what we feel is spiritually fitting for the child based on his or her feeling and behavior in the womb.

favourite things about nature. (chosen by texanna)

krystal.
the way i feel God in the wind.
the rain: every thing about it: the way it smells right before a storm, dancing in it; it feels like cleansing, like a new beginning.
the smell of fresh flowers.
the colors of the sun rising and setting.
the sound of rushing water.
the simple beauty of something growing.
the softness of grass.
the colors of leaves in the fall.
the sound of trees ruffling in the wind.
the sweetness of fruits.
the way a ray of sunlight can send a sense of warmth through your whole body.
the stars twinkling at night.
the sounds and smell of the ocean.
the strength and wisdom of a full grown tree.
the way that i can see God in every inch of it.
the lack of, yet completely filling taste of water.
the way a clear day can make you feel beautiful.
the beautiful design of petals.
the strength and majesty of mountains.
the beauty in a flame.



texanna
the movement of colour throughout the year-never staying stagnant or boring in one frame.

the balance of the animals- even though there are beasts, they don't swallow up ALL of the beautiful more helpless animals in one gulp.

leaves and petals- the hands of trees and flowers.

wind
light and its colour and how something we see can also be something that we can FEEL in warmth

the fact that so much of it is food. that it just springs up from the ground for us and we can eat it.

harmony.

silence.

noise.

intelligence(once, i threw a dried leaf into the web of a rather hefty spider and watched in amazement as it pounced on it, drew back, and began picking it out of its web, pulling it free from each individual thread the leaf had disturbed. then, as if it was already bored of the situation, held the leaf out with its two front legs- dropped it to the ground).

praise-leaves clap their hands continuously, birds sing to Him, sunrises shine for Him, the wind whistles His glory.

affection and compassion among mothers and young.

the learning process.

growth.

birth.

death

reproduction.

healing.
