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- Exodus 4- 8/16/12

Moses and the Exodus (cont.)

Vs. 21 (below) highlights something I don't really understand. God has given us free will but when He changes the desires of our heart doesn't that take away our free will? Or maybe He isn't changing anything, He just knows that's how it will be. And the same thing goes with salvation. Many times it says "God hardened/ softened his heart". Is this God's active doing? Or is it just the way of describing what's going on in the person's heart. And in vs. 24 (below) is "him" referring to Moses? Was it because of his fear of what God wanted to do? Obviously if He was dissuaded so easily, He wasn't that passionate about it, so what's the deal?

Exodus 4:21- The Lord said to Moses, "When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go".

Exodus 4:24- At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him.
