Bible Studies

I'm going to use this blog to journal my way through life. It will help me keep track of prayers, journaling, answers to prayer, praises, spiritual links/articles, books I'm reading, my growth and so on. Maybe it will be helpful to others as well. My goals with this blog are to grow in the Lord, grow as a person, grow as a wife and mother, and grow as a friend. I pray that it will benefit any of you reading as well. Thanks for visiting and sharing my journey :)

I went to see Nick Vujicic!

Wow, was Nick's story inspiring!  He truely has a message of hope and purpose!  God's hope and purpose. I wanted to write the things that struck me most about his message and some verses and articles from his website.

Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

The Goal of God's Love
Here are some things that I remember from his speaking:
  • Trust God with everything in your life.
  • Don't believe lies, but believe the truths of God and how he sees us.
  • Place our joy and happiness in God.  If we expect happiness from anything or anyone other than God, we will be let down.
  • See your blessings and what you have, rather than what you don't have.
  • Focus on God and who he is.
  • Be in love with God and really worship Him
  • Pray about everything and depend on God, instead of having fear and worry 
  • We are works in progress and under construction.  Christians are not perfect and we will have ups and downs.
