Ch 8 - I thought it was good when Stormie stressed taking ownership of her faith by moving on with God and finding truth in the Bible for herself.
Ch 9 - Kind of continues the same theme as Ch 8. Investigating the Bible for herself - even when she didn't understand it all. When I've come to hard passages, I've prayed, Lord, I don't get this...but I believe it's true because this is Your word. I must trust Him more than my ability to understand. If I understood it all, where's my faith?
Prayer request: to not get so busy I don't spend time with the Lord.
Thanks, Jane

Yes, the list of a FEW of God's attributes is awesome! I think one of the mysteries of God is how He can be all places at all times...He is all present, so I respectfully disagree with Stormie's comment that God is where He is asked to be. When we pray for God to be near to someone, isn't it asking God to give that person a sense of His presence..."Draw near to God and He will draw near to you". He doesn't move - I do.
Thanks for praying about our trip to VA. It was beneficial,exhaustive,but good.

It's always amazing to me to hear how someone accepts Christ as Savior. Our stories are all different, yet the saving power of Jesus is the same for everyone!
For this post I thought it'd be cool to hear how/when each of us accepted Christ. Who wants to go first? Ok, I will.
For me, I remember talking to Mom at the end of her bed when I was about 5 and praying "to ask Jesus into my heart." However, when I was 10 at Camp Witness I was really struggling about knowing for sure I was saved. I remember the speaker (a chalk artist)at chapel that night giving a powerful talk about heaven and hell. So that I night in cabin #2 I said, "God, I think I'm saved, but just to be sure, I accept You as Savior..." (something like that) I never doubted my salvation after that.
Praying for you Angie...A & M are on a weekend retreat with their youth group. Pray for a spiritually meaningful time for them.

I am just checking to see if I am getting the post
