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.

Remember Thanksgiving.

I love Fall. The weather is just right, the skies are bright blue, and the leaves are all sorts of different colors! Thanksgiving is coming soon and I'm looking forward to it. I love the fact that its a day set aside to reflect on all the blessing we have in our lives! Sometimes its easy to forget all we have, especially when we get in the mind set that I won't be happy unless I have a new possession. These "things" will make you happy for a moment but they will eventually become old or out of style. We shouldn't look to material things to make us happy because they won't. We should be thankful for the things we already have. One thing we should be very thankful for is God's Word. His word is something we need to walk and live by everyday. Its a map to know what turns to take. The Bible sustains us, guides us, comforts us, strengthens us and so much more. Joy and peace is there, waiting for us right on our book shelf. One of my favorite ...

Going Out West

I'm back! :) It has been such a long time since I've sat down and took some time to spend on my blog! Almost two years! Haha! With a list of excuses I could go through, I'll just cut to the chase and say I'm here and Lord willing, I hope to be posting more often. Going out west. Was SO amazing and a trip I'll never forget! Beginning in Las Vegas, Nevada and ending in Oceanside, California I was blessed to meet some of my sweet brothers and sisters in Christ along with experiencing new things. The best part of this trip was I didn't travel alone! I flew out with three preachers; my dad, Elder Sam Bryant, and Elder Craig Blair. It was awesome, I really enjoyed listening to their conversations and learning a thing or two. ;) You may be wondering why I flew with three preachers, well the whole reason this trip to Las Vegas came about was because of a dear sweet group of people. Which I can now happily call, the members of Las Vegas Primitiv...

Hallelujah: God Be Praised

“ I will run, I will run this race, And I will do it all for love, Your love compels me forward, Your love controls my heart, And I just cannot get away. So I will fight this good fight of faith, And I will do it all for love. You are my great reward, You're so worth fighting for And I can't wait to see Your face." I recently stumbled across this sweet song and it really stirred my thoughts. I began to reflected on my life and how many times I have tired to run this race alone. Many times, when I become overwhelmingly busy with the task of life, I set aside precious time with my Heavenly Father, in order to complete them. In just a short amount of time, it becomes so easy to lose my sight on the reason I am here. Yes, it is important to take care of the task we have set before us in this life, we read in Gen. 12:5 that God put Adam in the garden of Eden "to dress it and keep it". We also read in Pro. 31:27 that the virtuous woman, "looke...
