New?

1st time reading? Welcome! Below you will find a brief description of each part of the blog you can find here.

Stories of Growth: These are testimonies, or stories from different people that have been shared with me that I found encouraging. I would love to post your testimony or any story you think would be a good addition, just message me!

My Thoughts: This is just a place for me to share what I'm thinking and wondering as I read scripture. I want this to be like a discussion, so please comment! Also I would love to open a section titled Your Thoughts, so if you would like to submit to me your thoughts on stuff you've read, I would love to post it!

Sisters' Saturday: I'm a girl, so naturally I'm going to hear things from other Christian women that are really only applicable to other girls. These will be posted every Saturday, just like the title suggests. So guys you could read this, but it's really meant for the ladies. Sorry!

Teachings and Preachings: I feel like the title is pretty self explanatory on this one, but these are things I've heard taught or preached about. Again I would love this to be a discussion, so please comment!

The blog is a work in progress, and I hope to have a lot of stuff up eventually, it's just going to take some time. Feel free to give your feedback!

Update (8/12)- As you can problably guess I haven't updated the site in awhile. Well I'm back and ready to keep going! I got pretty busy and was just at camp for two weeks, but I should have things coming up again starting tomorrow!

My Thoughts- Abraham, Issac, and Jacob- Genesis 13

Abraham, Issac, and Jacob- Genesis 13

It doesn't seem like it was too hard for Abraham to let Lot have 1st dibs on the land, but I know for me it would've been. With a distant friend it might be easy, but for some reason doing it with a close relative would be extremely hard. Abraham could've said any number of things: I'm older, this is my mission from God, I'm the one who brought you in the 1st place, etc. But he was able to show God's love by simply letting Lot have what he wanted. Down the road we can see that Abraham was greatly blessed because of this decision, while Lot suffered because of where he choose to live.
