Thankful Thursday - Veterans Day

Today I am thankful for...

...Veterans, that have sacrificed for my freedom.

... man and women that sacrifice today for my freedom.

... families that have and are sacrificing for my freedom.

... a day to remember what they have done and what they do.

... the country that I live in.

... a God that is in control of all.

... grace, and the fact that if it was an ocean we would all be drowning in it.

Good Quote

"'Did God really say...' (Gen. 3:1) He used the spade of deceit to sow doubt. Satan, posing as the serpent couldn't keep Eve from believing in God so he did the next best thing. He baited her, tempting Eve not to believe God or trust His motives."

- Beth Moore, Believing God

Good Quote

"Why 'above all' do we need to learn to use our shield of faith? Because the shield is the armor's armor. The ancient warrior hoped the fiery dart never reached the helmet or the breastplate. A direct hit on any of the other defensive covers could still stun and bruise even if it didn't wound. The warrior's goal was to extinguish any oncoming dart with his shield in order to diffuse all potential damage. When the warrior's shield was down, the other pieces of armor were vastly more vulnerable."

-Beth Moore; Believing God 

Quote for Thought

Reading this really good book Believing God by Beth Moore. This Quote keeps sticking with me (among others, but you will get those later).

"... they believed in God... they simple didn't believe the God they believed in."

So I have been asking myself - Do I simply believe in God or do I Believe God? I want to Believe God.
