1 Corinthians 13:1-7 MSG - YouVersion.com: Online Bible

This is my Favorite Online Bible. The You Version.      



Probably because not only is it an Online Bible, but, It has an App for Just about every Smart-phone there is!
so you can use this handy little app wherever you need a Bible.  it also has a Feature that I totally LOVE, you can Share Verses with Twitter and now for the Blackberry, you can Share Verses on your Facebook page!



But, anyway, your probably wondering why I have a Particular Verse attached to it.
This Verse has been Speaking LOUDLY to me over the Past week.

You know how you can read a verse of scripture and you think "yeah, that's nice" one time & then you can come back to that same verse, and WOW! It totally comes alive!

Almost Kinda like God Saying " Did you really catch what I am trying to tell you?" and we don't see it
& then the next time, WHOA! There it is!

I dont know about you but, MAN, I think to myself WOW! that was there This Whole time!!! What a Gift!

Its like finding money in a coat or a Pair of Jeans that you didn't know you had, or perhaps, you forgot you had.
Here's This Verse, it has been Speaking VOLUMES to me from the Message:

1 Corinthians 13

1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.2 If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.3 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

4 Love never gives up. 

Love cares more for others than for self. 

Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. 

Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,

5 Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,

6 Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

7 Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end

Wow! That's Powerful! Especially in light of the Fact that THIS is how God Wants us to live our Lives!

 I have some Very Special Friends That I have Never even Met in Real Life, but, they are Like Sisters to me.

The first one her name is Donna and She is a Miami Dolphins Fan and She Shares  the Same Birthday as me.


The other  Her name is Tammy, and She is a Awesome Woman of God, and a Dallas Cowboys fan.

We All met and became friends In AOL's Pro Football Chat room. From 2001- Now we have all Laughed, Cried, Cheered on our Teams, and Talked Smack to Each other in our Fantasy Football League that we have All Been a Part of for the Last 5 years.

Tammy and Donna Lived Pretty Close to each other and was Blessed enough to Be able to Cultivate a Relationship In real life.

About a Week ago, Donna Had a Series of Major and Minor Strokes, that has Cause Major Brain Damage, Had Been on a Ventilator, But, the Family Decided at the advice of the Doctor, to remove her from it. well, They Did, but, The Prognosis is Very Grim and Was Sent Home for the Hospital with Hospice. Throughout this Entire Time, Tammy has  been there the ENTIRE time!!

She's Been there For Donna's Daughter and Family. She Is my Hero!!! She's The one who let the Rest of us Know what has been going on With Donna all of  this Past Week or so. This Is the Definition of Selflessly Serving Your Friends. God's Got an Amazing Reward For Her When she Gets to Heaven!!  I Love Donna and Tammy Both To Pieces! One is My Birthday Buddy!!  One one Is My Sister!!! Both are my EE SISTERS!!

The Love Dare Day 4: Love is Thoughtful

Love Is Thoughtful.


Love Thinks about Being Thoughtful...

When Couples First Start Out, it is all they can do to do things that are thoughtful for Each other.
But, As Time Goes by, Life gets in the way..( Kids, Bills,Other Life Pressures) and Alot of the time, those that were so, in love Before,Get comfortable with the other Person and Start to take the Relationship for Granted.

Marriage Adds another Person to the Picture of your Life and If your thinking doesnt Include the Other Person You can Find yourself Missing Opportunitys to Show Love, and the Other Person will See this as Being Thoughtless and Self Centered.

Men and Women Think and Comunicate Differently. Men tend to Say exactly what they Mean and Communicate Directly. Where on the other hand Women tend to think and Speak Between the Lines, Kinda Hinting around at things. If A couple Doesnt understand this about the other, it can Lead to Lots of Fallout in the Marraige and endless Disagreements.

He thinks shes Playing Mind Games, and Gets Frustrated with this perception, wondering Why cant She Just say what she wants and Quit trying to expect Him to read Her Mind. She Wonders why He's Being So Inconsiderate, and Just wants him to put the Pieces together and "get it".

Most of the time this Ends in Frustration and "Shooting First and Asking questions later" and an argument, When this can be resolved by understanding and Not giving in to Speaking harshly.
A husband should take the time to " read between the Lines" of what his Wife is saying, and wives need to State Exactly what it is they want, and not say one thing when they mean another.

Love Requires Thoughtfulness on Both Sides of the Relationship for it to Thrive.

If both Sides Understands this and Works to Meet in the Middle Putting Each other First,The Relationship is all the Better for it. Next Time I will strive to Spend a few minutes to think of how best to Understand and demonstrate Love to my Husband.

A Great Marraige Comes From Taking the Time To Show Thoughtfulness.

YAY For GOD

This Morning's Church Service was REALLY amazing! We had Some Missionary's From our Denomination Come today and Speak. They were talking about Stuff the Do and their Ministry, and Stuff they Felt God was Speaking to us ( The Church). But these Missionaries Were People that We have Known and have been associated with our church for Many Years, So, they were More like Very old Dear Friends that have Come Back to Visit and Chat. I started to Feel a Tugging on my Heart, Or a Tapping on my Shoulder, of the Spirit of God saying "Psst, are you Paying attention this?" that Maybe this Call that God has on my Life was Sort of Related to Doing things on the Mission Field somehow. Well,Our Pastor Gave an Invitation that if this Spoke to you and you Feel a Unction(LOL if you read this Stacy Or Jody!)and this Message Has REALLY Spoke to you to Come Forward So, that they can Pray Over you and They can Launch you off in To what God Has called you To do. This REALLY Spoke to me and I went Forward. I felt God's Presence SO STRONG! So Much SO, that i was waiting in line while they came to us, one of my friends were talking to me and I had a Hard time Focusing on What She was talking about. I was In a zone, and didn't want to Be Distracted From what Was going to Be imparted to me! When She Finally Got To me, She Just Prayed as She Felt Led and WOW!! IT WAS TOTALLY spot ON! She Said that she Felt like i was Going in million Different Directions at once! and that She Prayed that God would Help slow me Down and ,focus on Just what he was calling on me to do! What she Prayed was Right on, Right Down to The Minutest Detail of a Decision I Made this week!!!!! I don't Know this Lady Very well Personally, and I have JUST Recently Introduced myself to her,So,There is NO OTHER way she could have known about these things Other than God Speaking thru her.

How Encouraging is THAT??? The God of the Universe Picking a Way To say Hey! Your Important to me! I care About you SO much that i am Going to Use this Person to show you How much I love you! How He knows the Things That you go thru In your life and they are important to Him!

This Song Randomly Spoke to me out of the Blue today! This is What was Confirmed to me in a HUGE way today!




YAY! I am TOTALLY Psyched!

But, Of course that the Enemy Doesn't want ANY of this Stuff for us! HE's a Sneaky Little TOAD that Will Try to STEAL, KILL, And Destroy! WELL, Sorry Mr TOAD! IT AINT HAPPENING!! I Will NOT allow you to STEAL FROM ME ANYMORE! This is MY Destiny! and you CANT have it! SO Long! ADIOS! You Dont have ANY control or authority in my life, because you are UNDER my FEET! Where you WILL remain! HA!
