I have been considering for a long time deleting this blog... As you can see, I haven't posted anything in months because I just didn't have the motivation to post anything.. If you read my blog and you think I should continue blogging, then please leave a comment and I will think about it.
God Bless!

1 Corinthians 1:26-28
1 Corinthians 1:26-28
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are.
Have you ever had a dream? Not the kind of dream that you have when you're asleep, the kind of dream that you imagined when you were a little kid? Like wanting to be a nurse or vet? Maybe you still have a dream but you have become so busy with life that you don't think about it anymore.. Or maybe you gave up on your dream years ago and now only focus on your education and getting to college. Perhaps you have no idea what I'm talking about and your about to close out of this blog. Please don't, cuz I have a message that I really want you to know. God planted a dream in your heart the moment you were born. A dream that you have always known but maybe you just never noticed. That dream is part of God's plan for you! And I can tell you right now, that His plan is even better then you could possibly imagine! He is calling you to live your dream, but that will require a teeny little step. A step out of your comfort zone. Now everybody knows that stepping out of your comfort zone is scary and uncomfortable. That's kind of a duh, right? Cuz over the years, you build your little comfort zone around you and it becomes so familiar that you hate to even think of stepping outside of it! But if you want to fulfill God's plan for your life, then your gonna have to step out of that zone. But what if you have no idea what your dream is? There's a way to find out. Ask yourself these questions:
•What have I always been good at?
•What needs (in the world) do I care about most?
•What makes me feel most fulfilled?
•What do I love to do most?
•What lifestyle or career fascinated me the most as a kid?
•What have I felt called to do?
•What do I most want to be remembered for?
Way to many people give up on their dreams and end up living a different life then God had in mind for them.. And maybe your calling isn't that glamorous but when you're living for Jesus and according to His plan for you, then nothing could ever feel more right. Because God uses the weak things of the world to shame the strong. So have faith! Because God has an amazing plan for you!
God Bless,
Sarah

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
1Corinthians 13:4-8a
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self‑seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. (NIV)
I picked these verse because they perfectly describe true love. Love is something that all girls yearn for sometime in their lifetime.. As we get older and start thinking seriously about our "soul mate" these verses can really come in handy.. Seriously, if you feel like you "love" a guy, look at these verses and check yourself to see if it's true love. Cuz I can guarantee that 99.9% of the time it won't be. Now, since most of us aren't into dating and stuff, (like me') I won't go into any more detail on that.. :). So anyway, what I really want to focus on in this blog is love in general.. Teen girls of our generation just throw their hearts away.. For example, I know that girls at my school are "in love" with Justin Bieber.
Now, I personally think he's gross and sings like a girl.. I mean really people! Why are girls obsessed with this dude when he's probably a jerk in real life!?? Oh, and don't even get me' started on the Jonas Brothers! Yea I know, their Christians but still.. It disturbs me' how girls just give their hearts away.. Now, looking back at the verses, it's pretty obvious that humans are not capable of all those things.. We're impatient, unkind, envious, boastful, prideful, rude, self-seeking, easily angered, etc.. The list goes on and on! What I'm trying to say is that there's only one person who can offer true love.. And that's Jesus Christ.. So why don't us girls fall in love with Him? Have JESUS be your first love. Cuz no guy on this Earth will love you more then Jesus.. So remember. Guard your heart.. Put your heart and God's hands and let Him hold it for you.. Cuz true peace, true mercy, true protection, and TRUE LOVE, can only be found in our Heavenly Father's hands..
God Bless!

Colossians 3:1-2
Colossians 3:1-2
1 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand. 2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
Now, I'm sure you're probably thinking: "Soooo this verse means we should all walk around with our head's in the clouds all day?" No, I don't think that's what this verse means.. I think it means that we shouldn't become so absorbed in our own little world that we forget what's really important.... Having a relationship with Jesus Christ. There's so many distractions that our generation has to struggle with.. Boy, is there ever! I should know cuz I'm constantly absorbed in electronics, texting, friends, gossiping etc.. It's so hard not to! But what so many teens of our generation don't realize (and what I've just recently realized) is that Satan will take any chance he gets to try and destroy our relationship with Jesus.. Sometimes we get so busy with life that we forget to slow down and spend some quality time with our Savior! Seriously, when was the last time you had some serious pray time (not at church) or read your Bible? Sadly, it's been awhile since I did either of those things... But I'm planning on changing that! Anyway, the point is that it's time for this generation to rise above the distractions and show the world that we can be strong Christians and focus on God, not the world.. We are children of God and we need to ACT LIKE IT! It's time to decide what's more important... Facebook, texting, friends, video games, etc or our relationship with God. I'll let you decide for yourselves..
God bless!
