Listen...

Have you ever spent time simply listening? Maybe simply sitting and listening to an elderly person who lives alone, and simply needs to talk to you. On Wednesday night, Chris remarked that many elderly people will tell you what they regret about not doing as a young person. He said "They wish they could do it now, but they can't. You are there, you can." Listen to what people say they regret not doing the most, and do that. For example, an elderly lady has told me several times, she wished she would have memorized more scripture. Well, what do I need to do? I need to memorize scripture while I am young. Now, you have to understand I am not saying that you should do something totally immoral. I would only listen to trusted Christian mentors, and take their advice seriously. They have many lessons they can teach us. The only question that remains now is: Will you listen?

Just a Quick Note

I just needed to say that, while this blog is primarily directed toward girls, guys might like it too. (At least, parts of it) :P Anyways anybody is welcome, though as I said before, it is mostly for teenage girls. :)

An Awesome Quote

A few weeks ago, my brothers and I were watching Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. We had just finished it, and I asked my Dad what his favorite part of the movie was. He replied "I'd have to say it was Sam's speech." Part of Sam's speech really hit me: "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for." How true this really is. Many Christains talk about how the government is bad, the media is biased, and sit on their hands the whole time. However, I am NOT saying that the parts of the government aren't bad, the media isn't biased etc. But, if we sit there and criticize all day, what does that do for them? Does it tell them that we wish they would change? Does this somehow change things? We have to fight for what we honestly believe is right and true. We can't just hope someday they will change without us doing anything. We have to do something. Now, granted, I realize all of us can't and will not walk up to a government official, point a finger in his chest and tell him he is wrong. And that is just a funny example. I am definitely NOT going to do that. I do have to say though, that many good Christian people do this. Not exactly the way I described it, but similarly. Let me be honest for a second. I am a young teenager. I cannot vote. According to our nation, I should pay absolutely NO attention to what doesn't involve me personally. I don't think so. I need to be praying for our leaders, and telling them (politely) what I think. Do I? Not really. Should I ? Yes. We are at war, and the sooner you realize that, and act on that, the sooner America will turn back to God. Adrian Rogers, preaching legend, once said this: I believe that as the West goes, so goes the world. And as America goes, so goes the West. And as the Church goes, so goes America. And, as believers fast and pray so goes the church. Wow! Basically that means if we actually got serious about it, we could change a whole lot. But the only question remaining is this: What are YOU going to do about it?

God's Grace

Hi! I am God's Grace and this is my new blog! I hope to encourage girls in their walk with Christ here as well encourage them to look forward to, and become a homemaker! I am a young teenage girl with a mission, and I would love for you to join me!
My sign name is God's Grace because God's grace is the only thing that saved me. It is also partly because my middle name is Grace, and the fact that I am God's girl, His Grace.
I am blessed to have many Christain influences in my life and hope that I can influence you, the way I have been influenced. My parents and brothers are always a great encouragement to me, and I hope I can be that to my younger siblings. I also would like to encourage you to be an example to younger children around you as well.
I would like to be a stay at home mom and homemaker, if and when I marry. I hope to encourage other girls in this hope as well. I am very happy to be homeschooled by my very capable mother and hope to do the same by my future children.
I hope you will comment me and tell me what you think about my blog! Any suggestions, comments, or feedback would be great!
P.S. In one band's words I suppose you could say this: I am a one girl revolution!
