why am i here?

well, to put it bluntly im here because God created me in my mother's womb. psalms 139 :13. but i mean so why am i here as in why am i writing this blog? i didn't really explain why but i feel as if i need to. Spencer Saunders, one of my best friends, started a bible study during lunch and named it elevation. with the new semester many of us that were in Spencer's bible study were no longer going to have lunch with her. so i felt that God was saying to me "gracie pick up your bible and do something for your God." so i have and im loving leading the bible study, its like i get this certain feeling of satisfaction that i actually did something for God today. and then a few days ago i discovered that Michael slaughter's (another best friend, one who happens to be my boyfriend too :)) mommy has a blog and it is about her life and her walk with God. i think its just awesome. the more i thought about it the more i liked the idea of doing a blog. so i asked the kids that come to elevation if they would be interested in having an online bible study, and obviously, they liked the idea. i do too because now when God speaks to me i can get the word out right here and now. also i can write and write and write. there is no time limit like there is during lunch. another thing, the possibilities are endless. i, or through God rather, have the potential to reach 100's of teens and even adults, 1000's even. that right there just blows my mind. im really excited about this because once again im DOING something for my Savior and i really enjoy it too :) and another cool thing is i can get feed back from you guys reading this (and u will have to encourage me to write often cause im sure i will want to be lazy so don't let me :P) and maybe even one of my favorite parts of this is its not gonna just be me writing! if you wanna be a part of this blog and has some things you wanna blog about i can add you as an author.
and even if you not a Christan i think this is cool for you too because by reading this you will hopefully get to know God and understand who he is. i know alot of people who are not Christan's simply because they don't know what Christianity is. i feel confident saying that many non-believers think God created the bible just as a giant book of pointless stories and rules. like that's all being a christian is, believing stories and following orders, and in a way it is. Christan's do believe in the stories, but they are truthful stories and they are here to help us with similar situations in our own lives. and as for the rules, its not like they are here just because God doesn't want us to have any fun or anything like that. they are here to help us live our life to the full and get the most out of it. hey that's even why Jesus came, was to give us a better life than we have ever dreamed of. check out John 10:10
love
always and forever
gracie :)
