This blog is simply about what the Lord has put on my heart lately, being bold.
We are not called to live lives of complacency, which is BEYOND easy in "Bible-belt America." We are COMMANDED to live lives that are full of truth, blatant truth... I mean think about it, when was the last time YOU shared the straight Gospel with someone? Can't remember, I sure couldn't. So, I'm changing that. I want to be like Jesus and Paul. Whether there is praise or blame, I care not(or am at least giving it an effort).
Matthew 28:20
"...just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, as a ransom for many."
One last thing that can sort of tie in, but is simply just on my heart to share is the fact that everyone know what Philippians 4:13 says, but no one knows the verse before it... it makes it all the more beautiful.
Philippians 4:12-13
"I know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have plenty. I HAVE LEARNED THE SECRET OF BEING CONTENT IN ANY AND EVERY SITUATION, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or want. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Contentment has been a struggle for me and one that the Lord has dramatically grown me in. I love seeing the desires of my heart change... I CAN AND AM CONTENT IN THE LORD.
goodnight... L

It is interesting to consider the faith necessary, and the boldness needed to simply be content. If you can figure that out at your age, you will be miles ahead of your peers. That has always been a favorite passage of mine. Maybe the "all things" in Phil 4:13 isn't about achievement as much as contentment. Weird how it's taken out of context! Nice post.
Mrs. Fisher wants time with you while you're home! :o)
