Devotions, Oct 31

I want to make sure my daily devotions aren't sacrificed in favor of NaNo. But, since my attention is, right now especially, all on NaNo, just reading my prescribed verses isn't going to do me any good. I won't retain them. My brilliant solution is to read my devotions in a KJV, since that's what my principal character would be doing. I, of course, don't have a KJV, so its online I go. Since I'm sitting at my computer anyway, I'll pop my short devotion journal online. Plus, this will keep me a little more accountable for keeping up with my quiet time.

I always start my quiet time with seven specific praises:

♥ Sparring with Jazzy last night and the bruise I have from a successful block
♥TanMan's respect
♥ Sweetling in the upper range of on target for 10th grade math/algebra
♥Toa of Boy helping to clean up the preschool room
♥Toa of Boy's drawing of china and mountains and russia
♥ Halloween costumes almost ready <3 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">

For my scripture reading, I've been doing a
61 day survey reading plan since mid-June. I would say, "quality, not quantity," but in my case its "sporadically, not regularly" that is the more accurate explanation.

Psalm 100;103;139

I think I'll use these verses early on in my writing:
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.




And of course, the signature verses:
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

Hey! I have friends who do the NaNo, er, whatever that writing thing is. :) It's quite the challenge!
