Fear/Anxiety Scripture Ring

I LOVE scripture rings and just about always have some in my purse or on my desk in case I 

(or someone around me) needs the comfort of some Biblical wisdom.  

In fact I gave a set away to a friend today who is having surgery soon 

and dropped another set in the mail for a friend who is going through a difficult time. 

(I even have a few sets in my ETSY store here & here  and here if you'd like to purchase some!)

Based on the feedback from the May Scripture Writing Plan, 

there are LOTS of us that struggle with fear and anxiety! 

So I decided to take one or two verses from each day and turn them 

into some printable scripture cards. 

There is a card for each day of the month 

and there are 8 per page for a total of 31 cards and 1 blank card. 

I just cut mine out, punched a hole in each one, 

and used a binder ring to hook them together. 

I also tied it with a ribbon because it makes it super easy to grab in a purse- 

and it looks cute! 

You can find the PDF of the verse cards HERE.  

May Scripture Writing Plan 2016

Thank you to those that have emailed me this month to
tell me how much you like these little scripture writing plans!

I try to respond to each email but please know if I don't that I
seriously LOVE hearing stories of how families,

and Sunday School groups, and churches, and friends 

are working through the plans together.

GOD is so cool how He uses our simple works for HIS good and glory! 

This month I felt very strongly that I needed to do a set of verses on a specific topic

and so I chose a topic that so many, myself included, struggle with: 

Anxiety/Fear.

God mentions the phrases "fear not", “do not be afraid”, 

“do not fear”, and “be not afraid” many, many times in the Bible. 

Obviously He knew we would struggle with anxiety to include it so many times!

(Want to see them all? Check out this great list!)

So for those following along, here's the plan for the month of May.

You can find a copy to print out for yourself in the folder HERE.

For those that have asked, there is also a blank form 

to write your verses on that can be found HERE. 

Thanks to a sweet reader you can also find the Spanish version HERE.

The sweet reader who picks the verse for the short version for her students

hasn't sent them back to me yet- but as soon 

as she does I promise to post that version here!  

Another reader asked for a version that was more manly (for her husband) 

so you can also find that version HERE.

This train station stayed open for an extra YEAR just to take a girl to school each day!

If the station had closed the girl would have had to walk 73 minutes every morning to catch a 9am train in a neighboring town. So instead- they kept it open till she graduated!

This video made me weep.
What an absolutely precious act of kindness by an amazing lady who suffered greatly.
No matter how little you have, you have something to give
and you may never know how much someone needs what you have to offer!

What a GREAT speech by this coach to his players. 

Every American should watch this!

This tattoo artist is giving free tattoos for those 

that want to cover up scars due to self-hard. 

What a beautiful idea! LOVE this so! 

This story is AWESOME!  

A couple texted the wrong number while the wife was in labor. 

When the recipient replied that it was a wrong number 

all he got was a pic of the mom holding the newborn babe. 

But instead of ignoring it- 

he and his brother drove 40 miles and

showed up with gifts for the baby at the hospital!

EAT THE FROG FIRST!

Mark Twain once said 

"“Eat a live frog first thing in the morning 

and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” 

His idea was that if the first thing you do each morning 

is to eat a live frog, 

you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing t

hat that is probably (hopefully) the worse things 

that is going to happen to you all day long. 

I'm working to do this- eating my frog FIRST 

(obviously not a REAL frog- but rather the task I most do NOT want to do) 

rather than dwelling on it and stressing over it all stinkin' day long. 

So friends.....EAT THE FROG FIRST!

You can print out your own little reminder as a

Loved her quote...

“Keep praying every day and God will take care of you –

even when it feels like you can’t care for yourself.”

Oh How He Loves Us

One of my favorite songs of all times is How He Loves Us by David Crowder.

Such a beautiful reminder that He loves us more than we can ever imagine!

I don't know about you but there are days when I certainly need that reminder!

He is jealous for me,

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,

Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.

When all of a sudden,

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,

And I realize just how beautiful You are,

And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us, oh,

Oh, how He loves us,

How He loves us all

He is jealous for me,

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,

Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.

When all of a sudden,

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,

And I realise just how beautiful You are,

And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us, oh,

Oh, how He loves us,

How He loves us all

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us,

Oh, how He loves.

And we are His portion and He is our prize,

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,

If his grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.

And Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,

And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,

I don't have time to maintain these regrets,

When I think about the way...

That He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us,

Oh, how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us,

Oh, how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us...

Oh, how He loves us...

Oh, how He loves us.
