This past Monday-Wednesday Alexis, Emily R and I went to Atlanta (by ourselves!). We stayed with her aunt and uncle for the few days that we were there and it was tons of fun!
Monday we left from Alexis' house at six am (whoa) and along the way we went to the very first CHICK-FIL-A!!! It was awesome, we dined in (: Then around one we arrived at six flags and rode pretty much all the rides worth riding and then left around six.
Tuesday, we woke up and went to Warped Tour at eleven, and stayed until six. It was great, except I don't think I've ever heard so much language :o Makes me appreciate that my parents raised me in church and raised me to love God with everything I have, because that was not an atmosphere that I would've wanted to live in! That night we tried to go swimming but it was about to storm and really really cold so we came in, ate a delish key lime pie and talked, then went to bed around twelve.
Then Wednesday we were going to hang out around downtown but we realized we needed to be back at five so we left for Jacksonville around ten am (:
That's pretty much it. Except....
I shall share something I learned from my quiet time. Actually, it was on the way back and I read my Bible a lot of that drive because.....it was the best thing to do for a six hour drive lol.
I've decided that I am going to read through my Bible from start to finish and I was reading in Numbers at the time and out of the many verses I will talk about one that I really liked.
Numbers 12:8 says,
"With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles;
he sees the form of the LORD.
Why then were you not afraid
to speak against my servant Moses?"
I will bet that almost, if not every, Christian has been scared to witness to someone because of some reason or another. I am for sure, I guess because I am scared of a little rejection, or what I will look like when it's over. But right here I believe that God was showing me this to remind me that He is on my side, yes, my Creator and Saviour is with me at all times, so instead of me being afraid of a mere human, shouldn't they be afraid that I have God on my side?
So pretty much what I got out of this in a nutshell is that I shouldn't be scared of witnessing because God is with me and he is ruler over all and if something bad would happen, he will be there to comfort and/or defeat it (:

Okay, so, our blogs are like...crazy in sync with each other lately. How awesome is that?
I guess the important thing to remember about witnessing is that they're not rejecting US - we're just the messengers. They're rejecting Christ, which is worse. At least, that's how I try to think of it. I'm praying for you! (:
