I would love to use the card for a mocha Frappucino light. Mmmmm.

The Bible verse I'm thinking about today came from the sermon at church, which was about our hearts. "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." I'm thankful for that cleansing--it's like a spiritual shower.

I hope I quoted that verse right!

You're so good, I wanted to do a giveaway this time but I don't know where my last week has gone.. and here the carnival is.. well, we'll see if i can throw something together :-)

The Lord has recently spoken to me from Ephesians 5:1, about being a child of the King and our earthly children. It says to imitate God as a dearly loved Child - which got me thinking about my own children, who are dearly loved.. and how they do just naturally want to follow my example because of that love.

Then it struck me, as I love the Lord and imitate Him, they will imitate me.. learning of Him and someday following Him as well. So I don't have to worry and stress about "Am I teaching them enough? Is it right? Am I going about this all wrong?"

Anyhow... I love starbucks! :-D

By  Kate, at 10:54 PM, April 20, 2008  

caramel frappachino.. i never get to go to starbucks, but i would with a gift card... :D

this morning's gospel spoke to me... John 14: 1-14... i am the way and the truth and the light"

That would be of the New Heather Translation... :D

I have always loved Psalms 46:10. It speaks to me in a special way. "Be
Still And Know That I am God!" Only in my silence can I truly hear him.
I have a son who is away from home out-of-state for the first time. He has a Starbucks on campus. I would love to win this for him.Thanks,Cindi

Psalm 27:13-14 has been encouraging as we have been walking through financial hardship...knowing that God is faithful and will bless us.

We are about to start Beth Moore's He Is study and so I am reading Hebrews 11. The verse is 11:6 about those who know that HE IS. BTW I love Starbucks!

By  NerdMom, at 12:05 AM, April 21, 2008  

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139: 23-24 (KJV)

May we always remember to ask God to search our hearts to help us rid ourselves of unrighteous behavior.

I hope I win this gift card as I like to tuck them into my husband's hands to use them as a treat during his work week since there is a Starbucks just down the road form his jobsite.

Thank you for the chance to win!

In HIS hands,

Laura

Ahh! My favorite vice (Starbucks venti latte with nutmeg earned by seeking virtue! Well done!
Galatians 5:22
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith"
Yeah, it was the word 'patience' that was speaking to me this week.

By  Anonymous, at 12:16 AM, April 21, 2008  

I'd love to win! I think the Bible verse that has most affected me over the last couple of years (since my husband and I started our business) is Hebrews 11:6 - "6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." I have clung to that verse. Just believing that He is whos is says He is.

Ill be honest here.. I don't have a favorite bible verse.. *sigh* I wish I did but I am just way too indecisive.

Mmmmm. I hear a caramel frappuccino calling my name!!! Well, at $10, make that 2 frapps. lol

Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance? Romans 2:4

God gave us His laws to protect us and to show us our sin, not to condemn us or keep us from "having fun".

Of course a Starbucks gift card is highly coveted around here. ANd my favorite verse is obviously not "You Shall not covet." :)
I read today Jeremiah 31:2

Nothing speaks to me more than Psalm 139. I consider it to be my life scripture. A close second to that would be Philippians 1:3 - it makes me think of my husband and son every time I read it. :)

The first chapter of Colossians is BLOWING MY MIND right now! We're going through it at church, and it's coming to life week after week and amazingly relatable to my current life circumstances.

"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Heb. 4:16
it's also my life verse. cuz i have lot's of times of need. :)

Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. And we all, who contemplate the Lord’s glory with unveiled faces, are being transformed into His image with every increasing glory which comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. –2 Cor 3:17-18

That was the verse for the Bible study that I am working on with a group of ladies online. The question was about how we were so reluctant to embrace the freedom given to us by the Spirit.

I don’t embrace the freedom because I keep picking up the chains. How can I put my arms around Jesus and feel this freedom if I am carrying an armload of junk? I keep trying to fix the junk when this freedom has all new things waiting for me when I lay down the junk.

By  Anonymous, at 6:12 AM, April 21, 2008  

Don't do much bible, nor do I do much church these days, as long as I stay within the guidelines of the ten commandments, I know I'll be ok in the after life. Oh, I do do Starbucks though!

My favourite verse lately has bee 2 Corintians 12:9, which reads, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

First Samuel 1 - the whole chapter. Hannah is such an example for me to follow. She poured out my true feelings to her God. He remembered her and blessed her. I first read this scripture when we were trying to get pregnant, I could relate to Hannah. I have claimed 1Samuel 1: 27, 28 for my girls' lives.

Great giveaway - I'm loving the skinny cinnamon dolce iced lattes right now! :-)

The verses on my heart are from my pastor's sermon yesterday morning - he used Luke 15 in his message about Faith-Sharing (where Jesus uses three parables, about the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost/prodigal son to illustrate how greatly heaven rejoices when a lost member of the family of God is reunited).

The Bible verse that I am leaning on right now is Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love the Lord, to those who are called according to His purpose." If you've been reading my blog you know that my husband recently broke his leg, then lost his job because of it. I am a SAHM so we are without income for 8 more weeks, at least! I have to trust that we will be provided for. And I praise God for all He is doing, and will do in our lives!

Our Pastor has been doing his sermons on Swapping your life of self for a life of service. Here's a verse from yesterday that spoke to me. I Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Good luck everyone!

Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know I am God..."
i attended a funeral of a very wonderful lady last night and was reminded, once again...to know that God has a plan and that i will see her again.

By  GrowingRopers, at 9:09 AM, April 21, 2008  

I collect Starbuck gift cards because my dd loves them (and I don't) and I can bribe her to do almost anything for them, lol.

Recently God has been moving me through a book called Do Hard Things by the brothers of Josh Harris who wrote "I Kissed Dating Good-bye."
I've been so moved by His power and might that I am changing my thinking, doing things I didn't want to do and couldn't imagine that I could do!
It isn't a particular verse, but that is where God is speaking to me from right now.

Right now my Sunday School class is going through "Experiencing God." It's been amazing and wonderful to see how that has affected not only my life and the life of my husband, but also lives of others in the class (at least two are considering foreign missions now!). I know that's not one specific Scripture, but the whole study has been blowing our collective minds recently.

By  Melissa, at 9:27 AM, April 21, 2008  

Can you add even one hour to your life by worrying? Matthew 6:27. I love Starbucks. Please count me in.

Starbucks is my guilty pleasure, and I'd love to win your giveaway.

Zephaniah 3:17 speaks to me when I'm being hard on myself, which is lately.

It says:
The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save.

He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.

Is that not a beautiful thought to start the day with?

By  daisy, at 9:28 AM, April 21, 2008

By  Karin, at 9:34 AM, April 21, 2008  

This is what I love about these giveaways, the chance to find neat new blogs! (um...and win starbucks too of course..heh-heh)

God has been whispering Hebrews 4:12 in my heart lately. I'm actually working on some art to illustrate it.

"For God's word is living and active and sharper than a two-edged sword, cutting between the soul and the spirit, joint and marrow and discerning the intentions of the heart."

Jeremiah 29:11...our family has been walking through a lot and it is so good to know that His plans and purposes for our lives will not be cut short.

Thank you for the giveaway. I never go to Starbucks b/c of the cost...and this would allow me to spoil myself or my husband. :)

The verse that is most relevant in my life right now is Proverbs 3:5. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

By  goalmom, at 10:17 AM, April 21, 2008  

What a neat idea!
The bible passage that has meant a whole lot to me lately is Deuteronomy 6:5-9
"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."

We have three little ones, and it's been a reminder that I am to daily train my children in the ways of God: all day. Everything should revolve around Him... what other way is there to show our children that our Heavenly Father is in everything!

By  Christie, at 10:20 AM, April 21, 2008  

Exodus 20:8-11 "remember the sabbath day and keep it holy . . ." has been the subject of much study at my house lately.

One of the conclusions is that we won't be at starbucks on the Lord's day anymore, but there are 6y other days in which I can spend a $10 gift card. :-)

By  Anonymous, at 10:28 AM, April 21, 2008  

Ecc 4:10 - I'm getting married in 1.5 weeks and we've been working/praying hard about combining our seperate lives into one life for God. This verse reminds me of the importance of sticking together with God as our "glue"

Anywho; because I'm trying to be a good steward and tweak my budget and keep my food costs down - - the verse I have written on top of my budgeting pad, is:

"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because GOD has said 'Never will I leave you; Never will I forsake you' ". Hebrews 13:5

Love Starbucks (great gift choice); and this was a FANTASTIC comment idea!

By  MSM, at 10:40 AM, April 21, 2008  

Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. (Psalm 40:4)

Starbucks sounds real good right now!

Matt 11: 28-30

It always gives me comfort when I am having a hard time with life. It is a comfort to know that the Lord will always five us peace.

By  Nicol, at 10:45 AM, April 21, 2008  

I would have to say that the verse in Acts where Paul commands the jailer "Believe in God and you will be saved" has been special to me lately. I was explaining that story in Sunday School and the kids said "you mean, it's a promise? If you believe, you will be saved?" It was wonderful seeing them finally get it!

By  Liz Zelie, at 10:46 AM, April 21, 2008  

Love your comment idea - I borrowed it for my contest! :)

My favorite verse is Pilipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which gives me strength".

Thanks! :) Love Starbucks too! :)

Mark 6:46 After leaving them, he went up to a mountainside to pray.

Because if Jesus, the Son of God needs to pray, how much more do I, a rotten sinner in need of his grace and guidance need to pray?!

"We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done." Psalm 78:4

This is a verse I read recently during my quiet time with the Lord, and it is a great reminder to continually be teaching my children about God, and all of the wonders He has done!

I love caramel macciato!

Thanks!

This is really hard. I have given each of my 4 children a verse that I pray over them and I love those.
Jeremiah 29:11
Psalm 127:3
James 1:17
Zephaniah 3:17
But if I really am honest the verse that truely spoke to me deep down most recently is

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

The truths I have learned from this..
all things = good and bad

God works = it is ALL Gods plan! Already planned so you're not their by some accident and God will fix it he already new you would be in that situation at that exact time!

for the good = Eternal, Holy, Godly Perspective. NOT the worldly perspective of good but what glorifies God!

Conditions:
The promise is ONLY good to those who love God and are called to HIS purpose!

Okay enough just had to share that! Thanks for a great opportunity to share this and enter into a giveaway!

Right now... 2 Timothy 1:7
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

This is my first year directing our church's VBS and going into meetings, I always have this fear and worry in me. I stop and say this verse over and over and it helps.

Psalm 91:1-2
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the ALmighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge amd my Fortress, my God in whom I trust."

I have always loved this verse. I love knowing He is my safety. When I start stressing and worrying about my kids I go back to this verse.

I would love to have my Sumatra extra bold!

By  Becca Mae, at 11:07 AM, April 21, 2008

My all-time favorite verse is "With God, all things are possible." When I was going through infertility, I had give up everything into the Lord's hands one night and just cried my eyes out. That month, I received all sorts of signs that I would finally be pregnant, and one of them was a bookmark in the mail with that verse on it. I was indeed pregnant at last and my son is now 11. :) Thanks for the great giveaway!

I am the Lord who teaches you for your own good, who leads you in the way you should go. ~Isaiah 48:17

I have been going through a lot of trials lately in my life and it was beginning to get my down. However, I was looking through my bible and found the above verse. It was a reminder to me that every single trial that I go through is God teaching me something and how he should receive all the glory for my life.

By  Angela R., at 12:18 PM, April 21, 2008  

I'm not a coffee drinker, but my husband would love this! Here is my passage:
Psalm 1
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers, for his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, and whose leaf does not wither, whatever he does prospers.
I love this passage! It reminds me where my priorities should be!

What a wonderful idea. A great way to encourage each other through the way that God is teaching each of us. The Lord has been reminding me the importance of abiding in him. John 15:4-5.

Psalms 121: 1-8

I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from.

My help comes from the Lord
the Maker of heaven and earth

He will not allow your foot to slip; your protector will not slumber

Indeed, the Protector of Israel does not slumber or sleep.

The Lord protects you, the Lord is a shelter by your right side.

The sun will not strike you by day or the moon by night.

The Lord will protect you from all harm; He will protect your life

The Lord will protect your coming and going both now and forever.

Genesis 33:10 where Jacob comes face to face with his brother Esau says, "Jacob said, "No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably.""
I think the idea of receiving forgiveness being so closely related to seeing the face of God is powerful indeed.

What a different and thoughtful give away question -- my bible verse is here:

If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "move from here to there," and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:20)

We have been out of work since January 7th. My husband returned to work this morning. I had to be steadfast for the both of us regarding faith he'd find a job beacause we are in a recession and it was very scary out there.

I learned with faith nothing is impossible.

"Jesus wept." I know it's super short, but it's really comforting to me. I'm sure Jesus knew that in 5 minutes he would raise Lazarus from the dead, but Mary & Martha were sad. He didn't say - your sadness is stupid, give me 5 minutes, he wept with them. So he weeps with me over my silly/temporary sadnesses, too.

Don't know if it's my favorite but it is in my mind right now:

No specific verse, as the story I've had in my heart all day is in all four gospels...the road to Emmaus. How blinded by their grief and sorrow were Jesus' friends that they couldn't see he was right there with them until he revealed himself through the breaking of bread. I hope I am able to see clearly at all times.

I would love some Starbucks! Or even to go to Starbucks and get some for my friend and I. He always buys me coffee and I'd love to return the favor.

The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

1 Samuel 2:7

Seems to be the most fitting the latest.

Things have been a bit stressful around here as Delaware is laying of over a 1000 teachers. I was sweating a bit and then this verse came to mind 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." Now can I please have a Starbucks so I can have a latte as I wait for His plan!

I have to say that the verse that plays over and over in my head is:
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when dreams come true,
there is life and joy.
-Proverbs 13:12

We waited so long to become parents and then there was a bit of a delay getting our referral. But today as I look at my beautiful little girl I still cherish this verse.

MMmmm...starbucks sounds so good right now!!!
Psalm 40:1-2
I waited patiently for the Lord, He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and and slow to become angry. For man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires."
(James I, I believe.)

I've been working on hiding verses about anger in my heart.

What a great idea... coffee and Bible. Can't get much better than that! I am always convicted with James 4:17 - To know what is right and not do it is sin.

Thanks for the idea!

I'd use the card on my favorite....grande nonfat iced caramel macchiato (or however it is spelled!!!)

And the verse that has touched me most recently is John 17:9"My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you." It was from the sermon on Sunday at church, and it really hit me that Jesus prayed for me during his last days and hours on earth, and that he spells it right out in there that I belong to God. Without question. I'm His for always.

Well, it would definately be Jeremiah 29:11
I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you, not harm you, to give you a hope and a future.

I would love a carmel frappucino right now!

"I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, and in His word do I hope." I love this verse. Especially when I'm waiting for an answer!!

I was reading in Judges today about Gideon when he continued to ask God to show him miracles so that Gideon would believe that God would help him win the battle.
It saddened me to think about how many times I question God's goodness and also made me want to do better at trusting in HIM. He always does what He says He will do!!!
