Flowers

It's kind of interesting learning about a flower, or any kind of seed. When you plant the seed, one thing that it needs to do before it can grow is............. any guesses?........ die. Which I always thought my mom was wrong when I was little. ;P But now it makes sense. We are like a seed. Before there can be light, there is darkness. When God created the world, what was there before the light? Darkness. Although, Adam and Eve were perfect before they sinned, so I guess this metaphor isn't quite accurate. ;) But anyway, this song can explain things better than I can. :)

    I think what you meant to say for your metaphor was: Before we accept Jesus into our hearts, we have to die to our sins, and then grow in our walk with Jesus.
    Is that right? :)
    Thanks for this! I'd never thought about it before.

Words

I just started reading a book called 'Words That Hurt, Words That Heal', by Carole Mayhall. It really got me thinking on my words. Are my words like a fountain of life, or are they like a babbling brook, running on the surface, rushing helter-skelter over the rocks? I'm a fast talker, and sometimes I don't really stop and think about what my words might do to others before I say them. "The written word is a powerful thing, you've got to be careful with it." -Mo Fulchart from "Inkheart". I know that as a writer, I was given a gift of being able to put words on paper and create a story, another world for people to delve into. But I often use this gift for more entertainment than for what God would want me to do. I don't write bad things, but they aren't necessarily christian things. I often have doubts about my writing when I think about that. Anyways, I should use this gift that God has given me for His glory, and to use it to introduce ot...

Starting Anew

    I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! It feels like this Christmas season has flown by so quickly!     This coming year is going to be a new start for me, and I want to make it a good one. I turn eighteen on January 1st, (cue the panic) so not only is it a new year, it's a new age for me. A new year, a new age, and hopefully a new mindset.     To be honest, whenever I heard the word 'mindset', I always kinda shut my brain down. 'Yeah, change your mindset and you can change your lifestyle, and all that stuff.' But now that things have gotten busy for me and I've gotten older, I need a new mindset. I need a new lifestyle. I'm going to be an adult, I need to work harder on the important things in life such as my relationships with friends, family and the Lord, my home life, my school work, and my health.     I want to make this year better than 2019. I want to fill it with memories with friends and family, and grow closer to the Lord. ...

Jesus Death

Image
We have made to the story of His death! YAY! Okay, if you are not a christian, and are wondering why we christian's get excited about this, here's the answer. Jesus died to save us from our sins and give us a second chance. He died to redeem us. That's why we get excited for Easter. Because we were redeemed, and we get a second chance at turning from our sins. :) Exciting, right? :D Anyway. Here's Luke chapter 23. 'Then, the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to Pilate. And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this fellow  perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King." Then Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him and said, "It is as  you say." So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no fault in this Man." But they were the more fierce, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throug...
