God’s Preparation

God has prepared me in many was, and this has helped me get through those times.  One experience that God gave me was when we moved, because it was hard and I didn’t want to move but I think God planned it because I like my new house and I have new experiences there that I never would have had before, including getting a golf-cart, barn cats, having a zipline to my treehouse, and playing airsoft.  Another good thing about moving was meeting my friend Justin, whom also has told us before that he is glad we came because there are some other kids to play with, but they are not very nice.  There are a lot of things that are beneficial to moving.

Some gifts and abilities that God has given me are my compassion and wanting what’s right.  He has also blessed me with being athletic and having a great loving mom, dad, brother, extended family, friends, dog, and future kittens.  God has blessed me so much and one thing I want to mention is how he has blessed me with health.  I take health for granted too much and I realized that last weekend when I was really sick.  There are about a million other things I am thankful for, but I am going to wrap up know.  I need to thank God more for every thing I have.

Why is it important that we study Christian persecution?

It is very important to study Christian persecution because it shows how lucky we are to not be persecuted.  It also shows how we need to pray for other Christians because they are dealing with very hard things.  We need to remember that lots of people die for Jesus and that we should pray for them and know that we can sacrifice parts of ourselves for Jesus.

Ideal Church Vs. Early Church

In Bible we made a list of our ideal things for our ideal Church and we compared them with a list of stuff they had in the early Church.  I found that our list was much more centered around ourselves and our pleasures and the early Church was more about helping others.

This really put into perspective how we think about ourselves more than about others and I think we need to change that a bit.  I think that this was a fun project as well.

Thoughts about Jesus’ Crucifixion

Jesus died for us.  Let me say that again.  JESUS, the SAVIOR of the world, died for US, died for YOU!!  Jesus loved us so much that the King of the universe (JESUS), died for us.  If Jesus didn’t die for us, we would still be making animal sacrifices and we wouldn’t be able to go to Heaven.  Jesus died so that we wouldn’t have to.

God Sightings

Last Saturday night I went to see Chris Tomlin and Rend Collective.  Chris Tomlin and some random dude talked about a museum that they are building that is called the Museum of the Bible.  This is going to be the biggest museum in the country and its for the Bible!  It’s also only 3 blocks away from our nation’s capital.  I think that it is cool how God has blessed them to be able to build this museum.  The museum will be 8 stories tall and i think it will be 48,000 square feet.  They still need money to keep building this museum and if you donate to it, even if you only donate $5, they will put your name on a 8 story tall wall in the museum that will have 1 million names on it of people who donated.
