Blessings Journaling (Aug.23.2014c.)

2014-08-23 12:07:24, Saturday

Still trying to figure out the best way to copy from blog or journal into book form. 

Also still reading Bible readings for today (and past ones). 

Okay, so this is the best way to save blog entries/journaling entries into book form:

1 Go from my blog and website (Blessings Journaling) at: 
of exporting posts.

2 To BlogBooker.com at:
to pdf.

Good to know. (Blessing 425)

426 I have 128 pages of 8.5 x 11-inch book of Blessings Journaling August so far... including pictures. 

From there, I can add material and really turn it into a book I can publish. It also gives me a book I can use to review. Wait. Is there a way to eliminate photos? I need to check. No, there isn't. Must include photos. I think I'll delete them for publishing. 

I just deleted all of the photographs from everything on this blog from the beginning to now in the book format. Now, I'm ready to use it for review and to edit and add more writing to it so I can publish it later. It needs a lot of formatting as well.

What I will do is each week, I will do the above steps into a separate document of that week's blog posts. Then, I will copy and paste into the main document.

Now, without proper formatting, the book is 7 x 10--inches in size and is 148 pages in length (427). Yay. I can now use it for review, which I will do later. For now, I want to see if I can get caught up with all of my Bible reading. 

{Note to Self: Now, I need to take note and not publish any blog posts until tomorrow. Otherwise, it will get confusing when I try to go from blog to book format.}

428 Unspoken.

430 So far, I have 429... (I mean 430) blessings counted.

Now, back to...

TIME WITH GOD IN THE WORD
431 Read Psalm 29.

432 Read Psalm 30. 

Brrr! The air just kicked on in my study. Need a jacket--stat. Will be back in a second. (Maybe I should be drinking regular coffee rather than iced.) 

Psalm 31:24 New Living Translation (NLT)

24 So be strong and courageous,
    all you who put your hope in the Lord!

Teach me, God, how to live Psalm 31:4. 

434 I could highlight every verse of Psalm 31.

435 Read Psalm 31.

What an incredible promise:

Psalm 32:8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

I will instruct you and show you the way to go;
with My eye on you, I will give counsel.

437 He WILL instruct me. He will show me how and where to go, along with when.

438 Also, He will watch over me. 

Psalm 32:8 Expanded Bible (EXB)

The Lord says, “I will ·make you wise [instruct you] and ·show [teach] you ·where to [L the way you should] go.

Lord, help me to hear and see your guidance--and to respond immediately. 

440 I read Psalm 32.

The plans of His heart from generation to generation.

I just wanted to read Psalm 33:11 in other translations, and found this wonderful passage to pray over our nation, the USA:

Psalm 33:11 The Message (MSG)

10-12 God takes the wind out of Babel pretense,
    he shoots down the world’s power-schemes.
God’s plan for the world stands up,
    all his designs are made to last.
Blessed is the country with God for God;
    blessed are the people he’s put in his will.
The Message (MSG)

Yes, God. I pray Psalm 33:10-12 over the United States of America. Thank You for giving me a passage to pray over America. (443)

Psalm 33:11 Expanded Bible (EXB)

11 But the Lord’s ·plans [counsels] will ·stand [endure] forever;
    ·his ideas [L the plans of his heart] will last from now on.

446 Fear and revere the Lord. Rely on His unfailing love. Thank You, Abba, for this promise and hope. 

447 Read Psalm 33.
