Considerations~

But let your adorning be of the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 1 Peter 3:4

This verse seems to be extremely opposite of what the world tells us. Today's world tells us we need to be false to fit in, to act all out of character and be boisterous. It seems that loud girls fit in better. But no, this is not true at all! 1 Peter tells us that quietness and gentleness are precious in God's sight. How much more excellent and pure God's opinion is! So why do we listen to the lies of the world? Well, one reason would be that we want acceptence? Or maybe we want attention? Or we feel lonely? But, truly I am finding all of these things and more from clinging to Jesus. He has become the dearest Father that I have always longed for. But not only that! He has become everything to me.

I am not perfect, no very far from it! But Christ is helping me see the areas where I need to continually work on. All to often I find myself overreacting to the slightest things, instead of taking a rebuke or judgement calm and peacefully I fly of the handle and assume wrong things. One of my highest goals is to be a young woman growing after Christ, gently and quietly.

I Whole New Heart

Recently I was able to go a youth camp that was up in Door County. It was a weekend trip that was filled with tons of fun, games, great food, and an amazing speaker. On this trip I experienced God in a whole new way. He amazingly changed my heart. Now you must know that i have grown up in a Christian home where Christ has been centered, but growing up in a christian home does not make me one, nor does reading the bible or going to church, no, these are all wonderful attributes to being a christian but don't in the least save you, the only way to be real is through accepting Jesus Christ as leader, lover, king, and ruler of your whole heart. I truly found this out while at camp. See, when I was little I gave Chris half my heart, then kept the other half to do what i wanted with. I am very sad to say that I wasted much of my life pleasing more in the ideas I thought I had my heart set on. Occasionally I thought about the other half of my heart which I had placed in Jesus' hand. (I wasn't a total heathen, :) just enjoyed engaging my thoughts on other subjects) But all of that has changed now because I have given Christ my whole heart. I have given everything in me to be used as HE wants it.

All glory to Him,
