The Silas Zone

It has been a really good week for me. For July 4th, our church had an activity with ice cream and some really good fireworks. I'm so thankful for our nation!!! Me and my mom were able to sell the last of our spring goats on Sunday! The Goat in the pic is Aurora. She is really pretty but I'm glad she is going to a new home. I have also been doing a bunch of work with my rabbit pens and scheduling out breeding which will start the end of August! My sister Callie recently started an Etsy shop selling unique earrings.  The ducks below are glow in the dark. We had our Good News at the Park today. it went really well and 58 from our church volunteered. I was also to help lead 2 teen guys to the lord as well with a friend. It is always a blessing to hear someone pray and accept Jesus into their heart! The cookies above was from a lady that gave them to me and I'm so glad because these Publix sprinkle cookies are my favorites. Lastly I was able to receive a certificate from the Bi...

  "A just weight is his delight: but a false balance is abomination to the Lord." — Proverbs 11:1 Standards are important. Convictions are important. But there has to be a balance. There must be balance in our dress standards. There must be balance in our music standards. There must be balance in our friendships. There must be balance in church, There must be balance in how we conduct ourselves. Balance is highly important. On side A of the pendulum swings between harshness, pride and personal preference. This side will push others away. The other side which will say is B swings apathy, excuses and compromise. There has to be  a balance in all this. Some people will either be super strict and mean with their standards. While the other will base it off the world or how they feel. There has to be a balance. Because each opposite end produces failure in the Christian life. Side A produces: A. Pride B. Fake Spirituality C. Unnecessary rules. D. Usually Rebellion within the kids....

It ran for 6 months and I was able to win second place. The award is a expensive Bible that is super nice. I chose a Schuyler Bible with a black pearl color and blue gilding.

Numbers 11:1  “ And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled…” The children of Israel were notorious for one thing. COMPLAINING!! It shaped their identity From the bitter waters of Marah to having too much manna, the children of Israel were found murmuring. But as it sad as it may be, sometimes we can be guilty of the very same thing. I mean, come on! We wouldn't complain right? We live in America where wireless internet, AC, running water and all the luxuries in our house are everywhere. If anyone didn't need to complain, it should be us. But then why is it that we are so quick to complain when the littlest thing happens. Today, I have some simple points of the Calamity of complaining. 1. Complaining makes us want to quit. Numbers 14:2-4 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we ha...
