I went to Borders today after class and bought these two books! Mmm, I love reading.

Anyway, I also went to check out the bibles at Borders but I think I may order one online. I miss my old one :( I had all my favorite verses bookmarked =/ And not only were they my favorite verses, they were the verses that helped me a lot through hard times. I remember some of them and just thought that it'd be nice to share :)

Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
- This has been my favorite verse for 4 years. I always look to this when I feel hopeless and it comforts me knowing that God is not letting these things happen to harm me and there are plans for me in the future.

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Hebrews 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

1 John 4:19-20
We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

Luke 6: 27-28
But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
- During the summer at Agapeland, all the teachers took turns doing devos for the morning and for one of my turns, I had this verse. I automatically thought of one person that I possibly "hated" during that time and this verse just blew me away. Oh wow, I just looked back on my old posts, and I actually wrote about it.

July 4th, 2009:

So my devotion passage I have to share this Wednesday for work is Luke 6:27-31.

"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you."

Amazing how God arranges life sometimes. But I have to say..whatever lesson God wanted to teach me through this heartbreak is a hard lesson to go through.

I'm proud to say that it was this exact verse that helped me get over stupid stuff and be friends again with her. Even though we're not close anymore at all, it's good to still be friends and have a good time together rather than people who don't speak.

I should be getting back to homework, but I hoped that this post helped you in some way :) I'm still learning to forgive and forget but sometimes life just doesn't work in that way. I guess prayer is the only thing that I can do.

As Tyra says, "Fierce and Love"! Hahaha
