Grace-Biblical Courage

I am entering a writing contest that is presented by Patrick Henry College. The topic for my age group is Biblical courage. I am supposed to write an original story only 1500 words long that portrays Biblical courage.

So I thought I would ask you, what do you think Biblical courage is?

Grace-Thankfulness

Okie dokie CC. Here we go!

1: Books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a reading addict

2: History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ditto with reading. In fact, if you put them together, you won't see me for hours at a time.

3: The country. I have always lived in a rural area, except for 9 months, and I absolutely LOVE it!

4: Paintings. Especially Thomas Kinkade. I love beauty and seeing it created on a canvas so that it can be kept forever.

5: Snowflake pajamas. Nothin's cuter!

6: Hairbrushes. Me and my mother and 2 sisters often finding ourselves singing a classic Veggie Tales song, "Oh where is my hairbrush?"

7: A big, happy most of the time, loud, noisy, bouncy family!

8: Sewing machines. I couldn't do it all by hand!

9: Violins. I am a violinist, and proud of it.

10: Jesus!!!!!!!! His truth, His life, His purpose, and especially His purpose for ME!

Celina, Administrator

Celina, GET POSTING!!!!

Come on girls! I know that you have more to say than this, but because people aren't finding things to write about I am going to have to give you something. I want you guys to right for every day one of the most fun things that has happened, and ten things that you are thankful for, kinda for thanksgiving but mostly because I am always more thankful and happy when I make a list about that every day. Girls I truly believe that God has something special in store for each and every one of us, but before we can help others we have to be at peace with ourselves and God. So here you go another one of my weird little things I want you gals to try this week. Next week there will be something different, I will start for yesterday.

Grace-Marvelous Light

Here's a song that we sing at church. It is so beautiful, so uplifting, and really encouraging. I felt like I should share it, along with a new verse, verse 3 that I wrote for Miss Leslie. ;)

Verse 1

I once was fatherless, a stranger with no hope,
Your kindness wakened me, wakened me, from my sleep,
Now Your love beckons deeply, a call to come and die,
By grace now I will come, and take this life, take your life.

Pre Chorus

Sin has lost its power, Death has lost its sting,
From the grave You've risen, victoriously...

Chorus

Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness out of shame,
By the cross You are the truth, You are the light, You are the way...

Verse 2

My dead heart now is beating,
My deepest stain's now clean,
Your breath fills up my lungs, now I'm free, now I'm free

Pre Chorus

Sin has lost it's power, Death has lots its sting,
From the grave You've risen, victoriously...

Chorus

Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness out of shame,
By the cross Y0u are the truth, You are the life, You are the way...

Verse 3

My dark soul now is lighted,
Your lamp shines brightly forth,
You've filled me up with love,
I'm filled with love, filled with love

Pre Chorus

Sin has lost its power, Death has lost its sting,
From the grave You've risen, victoriously...

Chorus

Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness out of shame,
By the cross You are the truth, You are the life, You are the way...

It is such a beautiful, healing song. I have almost cried singing it a few times.
