366/365

Oh hey, I'm back. I just couldn't be gone long...

I don't really know what to do with this blog now that I've finished my 365, so I'm going to just see how it develops. :) I'm just not ready to give this up!

I just have to share something so incredibly exciting with you... we have a LIVING HOPE in Christ Jesus. Tonight we studied 1 Peter 1 at Bible study, and what an encouragement.


[Born Again to a Living Hope]
[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [4] to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, [5] who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. [6] In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, [7] so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. [8] Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, [9] obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
[10] Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, [11] inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. [12] It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.
(1 Peter 1:3-12 ESV)

I am so thankful that there is hope in this life. Despite times of uncertainty, confusion, doubt, and even in times of smooth sailing, our hope isn't in circumstance! It's in Christ.

  1. I am so glad you are continuing on with your blog! I love your sweet sisters (I worked with them at TWR and then we took our teens to Grandview for camp) and it is fun and encouraging to keep being reminded to be thankful in all things. Thank you for your sweet testimony!
