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 7- 8/17/12

Moses and the Exodus (cont.)

I've always been taught that when something is repeated in the bible that signifies importance. It talks about Pharaoh's heart being hardened at least 3x's in this chapter, so I think it's probably very important to understand. However in this chapter it never says "God hardened" so maybe it means this was of Pharaoh's own doing. Aside from that I love vs. 5, because even though God is making life miserable for the Egyptians right now, He is still leading them towards ultimate salvation. While I'm sure some saw what the Lord did for the Israelites and ignored it, I'm sure many came to believe as well. I also found in interesting how God used the word "wilderness" and it makes me wonder if He's alluding to the fact that the Israelites will not go straight to milk and honey land.
