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- Matthew 5: Annoyance and Introductions

Sometimes instead of posting my thoughts on a passage, I just like to re-write the verses that stuck out to me, followed by a prayer incorporating those verses. This is one of those times :)

Anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgement.

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others?

Prayer:

Lord, help me to recognize annoyance. Help me to pray and allow you to take that feeling away when I have it. I want to shine your love onto others, help me not to be too preoccupied to do that. Eradicate the sin within me. Help me to do things for people I don't know or don't like. Help me not to be afraid of forming new relationships in order to honor and glorify you. Thank you for bringing me into your family. I love you, and in Jesus' name I pray, amen :)
