Shadows of the Past (3 of 3)

By Amanda Tero (Written in 2005, age fourteen)This was my first short story, written as a school assignment (after I post all three parts, I'll share my original "Afterword" which explains a little more). It was fun to read again after all of these years. I can detect some immaturity of my thought-process at fourteen but the story was fun to read nonetheless.

Part ThreeMy stomach seemed to flip as Carla and I wandered slowly out of the old mill. The door clo...

Word Wednesday #51

"He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus..." (John 1:41-42a)

This is but our responsibility as believers. We have found the Messias and must bring our family and friends to Him.

Psalm 119:5-8

Psalm 119:5-8(5)  O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
Who else can direct our ways but God Himself? But God does not force His ways upon us. Instead, He extends to us the choice whether or not we will seek Him and His direction."In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:6)"A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps." (Proverbs 16:6)
There seems to be a fine line between our hearts and our ways with the Lord's direction...

When God Moves Through Prayer - guest post by Yaasha Moriah

By Yaasha Moriah
I work at a pregnancy center that reaches out to women who face unexpected pregnancies, and one of the first lessons I learned there was the power of prayer.
The center started with prayer. In 2005, supporters in northern Vermont recognized the need for a branch in my home area, and began to pray for a new center. Five years later, in 2010, the new center came into being. When the center received a phone number, we recognized it as a reminder that the Lord had heard our prayer...

Turkey Creek

Last week, a couple of my sisters and I went out to a local park, Turkey Creek, to scout it out for some Spring family photoshoots. I was very delighted with what I found. I, of course, was immediately attracted to the water (after all, the camp surrounds a lake). The bridges, water, docks, water, sand, water, nature walks, water, and amazingly open field gives plenty of space for a fun photoshoot! (oh, and not to forget the water!! Did I mention that I love water?!)
First, my personal pick (s...

Psalm 119:1-4

Last year, the Lord allowed me to study through Psalm 119. I love the longest chapter in God's Word and learned so much through it! One of my friends encouraged me to share it on my blog, so in the next few months, I'll be posting some of the gleanings that God gave me in this chapter!

Psalm 119:1-4  (1)  Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
We are all walking in a way, but which way it is?Does God's law guide my every step? Many people think tha...

Our Father's Heartbeat - guest post by Nicole Shepherd

By Nicole Shepherd
Through the life of Jesus we see the breathing, bodily image of His Father's heart. When the Word became flesh, man was given a stethoscope to know what moves, rejoices and grieves the spirit of God. So if we want to discover the crown of the Father's affections, we must become students of the Son. What did He do? What rhythm pattern did He leave us to hear, feel and walk in step to Jehovah's heartbeat?
Of the many things Jesus did, none are more vivid than His love for peopl...

Just sharing my family...
