A Young Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George

During the Summer I try to read more books, because first of all I have more time and second its good to workout your brain during the Summer, to keep it strong for school in the Fall. ;]
One book I've just started to read, again for the second time, is by Elizabeth George called A Young Woman After God's Own Heart.The first time I read this book I was about half way done with my Sophomore year in High School. However, because of school I didn't have the time to REALLY read and take it to heart, if you know what I mean. : p

Elizabeth George has written several other devotional and guide type books for young lady's,
such as: "A Woman's High Calling", "A Woman's Walk With God", and Beautiful in God's Eyes".
Elizabeth George is a popular teacher and speaker at Christian events. Her ministry experience includes, teaching high-school and college women, at churches and Christian college campuses.
Although Elizabeth George beliefs on the Scripture are a little bit different than mine, I have really enjoyed reading her book.

A Young Woman After God's Own Heart has really changed my views on a lot of things.
Such as my relationship with God, family, and friends, but it also has made me see a lot of areas in my life that I need to work on such as: my prayer life, bible studying, and trusting in the Lord's prefect timing.
So after much thought and prayer, I have decided to read this book again, take it to heart, and share my thoughts on it with you! The posts I'm planing on doing will be my personal thoughts and stuff Elizabeth George mentions that inspires me and hopefully you.

Lastly, I want to say that I'm not doing this to tell other people how to live because I know everything.
BELIEVE me I don't, I am far from perfect. I am doing this mainly for me. To remind me of the important's of pleasing God in every area of my life. But also I'm doing this to hopefully spread God's word and maybe inspire someone else to live a life after God's Own Heart.

* The follow post I will be doing will mention things from the book: A Young Woman After God's Own Heart, as a disclaimer, I want to give all rights and thanks to Elizabeth George for her hard work and effort in searching the scriptures and taking the time to write such an inspirational book for young christian woman.

A Cup of Tea Please.

Hot, delicious, savory, sweet, amazing tea. I love you. in the morning and before bed. I love trying all different flavors of teas from white to black tea's, or sweet to savory! I just love tea! I would say tea is my coffee. The picture above is a delicious white tea I had this morning. Its very light in flavor and with a little Stevia, its a great refreshment for the morning. The Sweet Harvest Pumpkin black tea is my favorite holiday tea right now! It literally taste and smell like pumpkin pie, it reminds me a lot of a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. SO GOOD! Its Autumn in a cup! You have to try it!

Nothing Shall Take What Lives Within

My heart was really torn after what happened to the church in Sutherland Springs, Texas this past week. I just can not imagine going through something like that. Last Wednesday night, I was blessed to hear a comforting message from the pastor of Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church, Elder Tim McCool. Speaking from Revelation 6:10-11, he reminded us that Our God is a Just God, Holy and True and even though man may take this outward body NOTHING can take away what's living within it. Praise God! I n relation to all of this, I was led to write a short poem. May it be, I hope and pray, a comfort to others. Fear, doubt, and trouble, come in as a warring thunder. Where is that silver lining, beyond these dark, thick, clouds asunder? We look to what surrounds us, what is amongst, finding no line of silver, a question unconquered. Is this a hidden treasure, we must seek to find? With a sigh, we find a hidden place and a book of Holy, by our side. In past, this book had served, to ...

A New Year and New Adventures. Welcome 2018!

So what's your new year's resolution? I was asked this a few times during the last few days of 2017. I'm such a list maker that normally in the past, I would have given some great answers. Haha! This past year though, I've realized I may make a long list of things I want to accomplish or finish this new year but that list is susceptible to change. This year I want to surrender all those plans to God first. I've made a decision, which putting a decision into action can take some work, but anyway, I've decided to take 2018 one day at a time. So cliche you may think but let me tell you, for a girl like me who plans every minute, to every hour, to every day, month, year, 5 years, IT IS SO not easy for me. You know, you think I would learn by now from growing up as a preacher's daughter, having moved about five different times to different states, churches, friends, ect. that I would realize it's just not possible to expect everything to go according as ...
