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 (1 Corinthians 13)- 12/7/11

My Thoughts- 1 Corinthians 13

This book in the bible is very popular and chances of you've heard, at least part of it, before. In this book Paul is writing to the Corinthians. What is interesting about Corinth was it was a city known for its sin. It was the last place anyone expected a church to rise up. But, because God is so awesome, he doesn't work by expected and unexpected and a large church was planted there. In this book Paul is writing to the Corinthians about struggles they are going through in their faith, and in this chapter he talks about love. What I found most profound about this chapter is when he is talking about what love is...this is how God loves us! It's hard to read this section without thinking "Wow, I wish I had someone in my life would love me like that" whether it be a friend, family member, or significant other. The great news is, if we have accepted God as our Lord and Savior, we already do! And He's the Creator of the universe! Even though we are so unworthy we already have the perfect love, God's love. And just as He has given us this love, we should be striving to give it to others as well, and reflect back what God has given to us.
