Quest!-
I feel like I overpost on this blog. Sorry, I just think of something everyday to post. Haha:) I hope y'all don't mind. I think this will be a short post, it's just what's on my mind.
Alright, James 4 was amazing. I just want to tell y'all about a couple of verses that I love. James 4:9-10, "Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." I know some of y'all know my testimony, but this verse kind of has to do with it. My grandfather passed away when I was in 6th grade, and at his memorial service, my grandmother wanted each of his grandchildren to read a Bible verse. At that point in my life, I had never read a Bible, I didn't really know how important it was either, so when my grandmother told me this I really didn't know what to do. I asked her to pick out a verse or two for me and she picked James 4:9-10. So, really this was the first verses I read in the Bible, which is awesome. Then the summer before seventh grade, I went to Sky Ranch and learned so much about God and I gave my life to Christ at Sky Ranch. The crazy thing was that when my counselor was reading out Bible verses when I was being saved, the first thing she read was James 4:9-10. Amazing right? So really whenever I read these verses, it really hits me hard. Just thought I would share that with you guys!
Praying for y'all,
Allie
What an amazing testimony, I think it's so cool that you have verses that mean that much to you. I still have yet to find my "life verses" ;)
ReplyDeleteI encourage you to keep posting...I definitaly do not mind reading what you have to say, and I think that you learn so much more by writing out your thoughts, what better place to do that? I didn't create this blog or anything...but I'm pretty sure that is what this is designed to do, give us a place to come and openly share what is on our hearts. Anyways, just a little word of encouragement :) just like that verse says..."humble yourselves in the sight of the lord." Humility. Probably my favorite quality that I see in people. I think thats what this blog is about, being honest and humbling ourselves before eachother so we can humble ourselves before the Lord.
don't ever think you're "overposting"...it's the awesomest thing ever! you are diving into the word of God!
ReplyDeleteAllie that's sooo cool! And you're not overposting; I love reading all of them, so don't stop!
