Hello Everyone!




Hello! How is everyone?

As you can see I have started a blog. I want to tell you what my blog is all about. I want it to be a light for Christ, first and foremost. I will share things that God has taught me during the day, kind of like an online journal. But, don't be surprised if I put pictures from a homeschool trip, or a little poem of some sort.

The reason I am saying things like "God" or "light for Christ" is because I believe that I am a sinner, and that I need to be reconciled to God. God is holy, which means he does not sin, and we do. The only bridge between that gap is Jesus Christ. He was a Nazarene, a man from Israel. He died on the cross and saved us from that sin. But he wasn't just crucified. He was flogged several times, had a crown of thorns on his head (and by the way, the thorns in the Middle East are very very sharp), and had a spear stuck in his side. He died right then and there with these last words, "It is finished." After three days two women, friends of Jesus, went to the tomb where Jesus was buried, and the stone sealing it was rolled away! An angel was sitting on top of it! They were deathly afraid. The angel said to not fear. He told them that Jesus wasn't there! They went in the tomb, and they saw that what the angel had said was true! Jesus had risen again, just like he said!

I want to go to heaven and live with my Savior forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. Say those words aloud. Does it sound like a word has been repeated? The word is endeavor. Being a Christian is hard. People might make fun of you. But the reward for believing that Jesus died and rose again, and that he loves you, is going to heaven to live with him for ever and ever and ever and ever.
