In the beginning...


It is a new year and a new start.  As I start this year I hope to accomplish many things.  One of them is to really start this Blog for all of you wonderful teen girls.  And one of them is to follow a Bible reading schedule.  On the first day of the year we explored the creation story.  The first verse tells us that "In the beginning..." and it made me think.  

Did you know that God knew who you were, He knew your name, how long you would live, how many hairs you would have on your head, when you would accept Him or deny Him, what you would wear today, how you would act today, what you were going to do tomorrow?  

He knew it all from the start.  He knew you from the start.  Now the question is, Do you know Him?  Do you know how much He loves you, How much He does for you?  Do you know (truly know) what He did for you?  

It amazes me to know that with the many times I have ignored Him or pushed Him away or have been a reproach to His name, that He is still there, loving me and caring for me, being my cheerleader and my coach and my teammate.

Many of you feel alone at times and don't know where to turn.  I ask you now to turn to God.  He is there for you and will be there when you call on Him (and you wont have to wait because He is right there when you need Him).

There are many things that I hope to accomplish with this fresh start.  I hope that we all get to know Him as much as He knows us.
