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 28)- 11/17/11

My Thoughts: Acts 28

Continues telling of Paul's journey to Rome. God continues to be amazing (why am I suprised by this?) and when Paul and crew get to shore God gives Paul an opportunity to witness. Oh and he saves his life once again (that means 3 times in 2 chapters). God gives him the ability to cure the islanders of the diseases they had, and while it never says specifically I'm sure he used this pooprtunity to share his faith. When Paul finally makes it to Rome, he is put under house arrest. Now if I was Paul I woul've thought, "Ah, time to relax!". After all he just went through and extremely intense situation. But he doesn't even think to do that! He instead continues to share God's word by writing letters to the church's he founded and invites people into his house to explain the good news.

This chapter made me wonder why it's so easy for us to be lazy. Obviously good things happen when we are keeping busy for God and we are blessed far more.
