Getting to Know You

My Life Psalm

Praise the Lord, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him......
Psalm 103:1-6,8,10-11

Yesterday my friend and I were talking and she told me her life Psalm was Psalm 121. I thought, "Wow. What a neat thing to know about her."

I love knowing people. I love hearing what is going on in the hearts of my friends. What makes them laugh, what they love to do.

I also saw on another Christian blog a great idea. The writer opened up the page for readers to tell a little about themselves. And they did. And it was SO neat. So, being completely unoriginal I am going to copy her great idea - but add my own twist.

I'd love to get to know you. Here are a few questions. But feel free to share more....

1. How do you take your cup of joe?

2. In one word describe your personality.

3. What are a few things you love to do? Do you have a blog address?

4. What are some of your favorite verses or your life psalm? (No pressure on this one:))

I'll start!

1. I like my joe Khaki :) with non-dairy creamer. And honey. I'm odd, I know.

2. One word - Bubbly ;)

3. I love to....play with my little rascal boys. Have inside jokes with my hubby. Soak up a little sun once in a while. Run. Read and Write.

4. Love Psalm 103, Hebrews 11:1 and Philippians 3:10 to name a few.

I'd love to get to know you. Share?

  1. My name is Kristen & I like my coffee with stevia and a fancy flavored creamer like hazelnut or french vanilla.

    Spunky describes me best & I love to spend time with my hubby, read inspirational books, take photos, spend time with my girlfriends, read, journal & blog!

    Galatians 5:1 & 13 most resonates with me right now.

  2. Hi Becky... This is such a great way to connect with other bloggers. Love the idea!!!

    I take my coffee with sugar-free french vanilla creamer and lots of splenda. I am on a huge kick right now though drinking iced coffee. Starbucks has these new iced coffee packets that are delish!!!

    One word I would describe myself being is focused.

    A few of my favorite things are photography, cooking, reading, going to the beach, and making memories now matter how big or small with my children.

    Psalm 103 has also been a very special verse for me too. I can testify wholeheartedly that He redeemed my life from the pit!!! Ephesians 3:20 is a favorite and I have been spending a lot of time recently studying Psalm 119:33-37.

    Hope you have a wonderful day!!!

    1) I like my coffee tan and hot. Just like my beautiful bride!

    2) My personality is... corny, grumpy at times, silly at times, mostly steady, intraverted with extraverted tendencies, reflective, and calm.

    3) Things I like to do are: drink coffee, read, coach sports, play golf a little, play guitar when I can, watch movies, fish, wrestle with my boys, and crack jokes with You (Becky)

    4) Favorite bible verse is... 2 Corinthians 5:17. It's the first verse I memorized as a Christan. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has hone, behold new things have come."

    but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

  6. 1 I love Santa's White Christmas, by Barnie's in the mall, through out the year, it is the one coffee I can have with little 1/2 and 1/2 and sugar. But if I'm at a restaurant I have to have 7 creamers and 7 sugars:)!!!

    3.I love to: spend time with my friends, listen to my kids play Star Wars:) work outside in the rain, garden, listen to music, I really loved to be outside with my goat Billy but he had to move away so now I go hang with the other animals on the farm, I really like my chicken Ruby, she is a doll.

    4.Verses I like 1 Peter 4:13
    "But rejoice that you participated in the sufferings of Christ,so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed."

    Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you he will rejoice over you with singing."

    Psalm 150
    Praise the Lord.
    Praise him in his sanctuary;praise him in his mighty heavens.
    Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
    Praise him with the sounding of trumpet,
    praise him with the harp and lyre,
    praise him with tambourine and dancing,
    praise him with the strings and flutes,
    praise him with the clash of cymbals,
    praise him with resounding cymbals.

    Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
    Praise the Lord.
    Have a great day!! Krystine

    Psalm 40 this is my LIFE verse!!! "I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined His ear to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the miry pit and set my feet upon a ROCK, making my feet secure.

    Psalm 40:1-3
