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- Luke 18: Goodness and Humility

I wonder why Jesus scolds someone for calling Him good. He says only God is good, but Jesus is a part of God, separate and equal, but a part. Plus Jesus never sinned and completely followed God's will. Doesn't that constitute goodness? Did He not want them to get get caught up in His deeds and forget to actually follow Him? This chapter really emphasizes the humility needed to be a follower of God. A widow, crippled, man, and a group of children are all exalted while the rich man is put down. It reminds me that we need to be ok with looking foolish and silly to the world for the sake of God's kingdom.
