He Gave Me Life

Today I decided to share with you a poem that I wrote recently as I looked back over the past years and how far I have come since then. This poem describes my personal journey with God and a bit of my testimony in a way. The poem is titled 'He Gave Me Life'. I really hope you like it!
He told me he loves me,
But I didn't believe him.
He told me he saved me,
But I didn't care.
He told me he hears me,
But I didn't listen.
He told me he holds me,
But I ran.
Then He gave me love,
And I believed.
He gave me grace,
And I cared.
He gave me peace,
And I listened.
He gave me life,
And I lived.
We each have a journey in life and mine has brought me through some tough times. But, now I can see that God was with me through it all and his love is above all things in my life. Now, because of it all, I am in a wonderful place living and growing each and every day. Remember that through everything God is always there; looking over you, guiding you, strengthening you and protecting you.

Introduction to Bible Study Methods

Image
Hey there friends, A while ago I asked if I could teach a Sunday School lesson on Bible study methods to our youth group. This isn't usually my class but as I was sitting in service one Sunday morning I was reflecting on the things I wish I had learned earlier on in life. Bible study methods was the first topic. As I thought about it more I realized how much I would love our youth to have access to the information I wasn't taught until Bible school. This blog post is an adaptation of the lesson I taught them. My lesson was over two Sundays and so this blog post will be a two-parter as well. I hope you find this interesting and informative. Let's get into it! I grew up in a Christian home—a very involved and active Christian home. In fact, by the age of 11, I lived full-time in ministry. My family and I lived and worked at a Bible school, my dad was an elder, and I helped in the nursery at our church. I also worked at the Bible School summer camp! From there, we went directl

A Little Life Update

 Hey there friends, I've been gone from here for almost a year this time around! The last time I posted was in March of 2021. Life has been wonderful and crazy all at the same time. I'm so excited to say that I've got a brand new blog post to share with you. But, I thought it may be nice to share a little life update before we get to that. Firstly, I've taken on some responsibilities with our church. I do the scheduling for the kid's ministry. I am one of the teachers for our K-4th grade Sunday School class and I help with Children's church during service. Noah helps lead the youth Sunday School class and I got to chaperone our youth camp back in June. We took on hosting our community group every Sunday night for a while until we recently started meeting at our church building. All this definitely gives me a lot more to do with my days and I have loved being more involved with our church.  At the end of June, I took my friend Alyson and her friend Mar to a Sunfl

Our Little Wedding Plans

  Hey there, It’s been a little while since I’ve written, but boy do I have news! I’ve been extremely busy this week, and I’d like to tell you why. As you may know, I’ve been living in Georgetown with Sarah and taking care of her daughter, Katie, since late May. But a couple of weeks ago, it was decided that it was time for me to move on. I had no clue where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do. Or rather, I had my dream, but I knew it wasn’t possible. Noah and I were supposed to have gotten married in July, and I was still hoping that would happen soon. However, COVID has been making that quite complicated—possible, but complicated.  If this dream couldn’t come true, I knew that I wanted to stay in the area, and I knew that I didn’t want to move into someone’s basement again. God arranged some great people to help me search for a place and someone to rent with. We’re still sorting that one out. To buy me a little more time, my mom suggested I go to Quebec to visit family for a little
