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: The Life and Teachings of Paul (Acts 27)- 11/16

The entries titled "My Thoughts" are simply my thoughts while reading God's word.

My Thoughts: Acts 27

You can see Paul's unmovable faith in God in that he doesn't freak out during this crisis. God tells him he will  be safe, and he not only trusts him 100% but shares his knowledge with sailors who probably thought he was crazy. Not only that but through God's awesome power Paul is able to convince them to eat and remain calm enough to form a plan.. And in the end it was Paul's faith, trust, and obedience that saved his own life.

Reading this I couldn't help but wonder why it's so hard to have faith, and trust and obey God during crisis' or even just a normal day for that matter, when we have clear undeniable truth that he will never leave us and has a plan to bring greatness out of anything. In this passage God not only saved Paul's life (twice) but saved all the people on board the ship while revealing his majesty. What an amazing God we serve!
