Apologies, Apologies :(

Dear Followers, :)


I know, I know. It's been a while! I apologize a million x billion x gazillion times! Things have been so busy and stressful lately, I've had no internet time :(


Well, life is fair. Though my workload is full and I have little time to spend on myself, I'm content. Have you ever thought about that? I mean, for humans- we're so selfish! It takes so much out of us to just stand still, in a stressful moment and say: "you know, yea- it's so crazy right now.. But i'll be content." Why? Because we have the joy of the Lord.


How are you? Appreciate all of the leaves that are still on the tree's, they're gonna vanish fast :( Oh well, soon the snow will be here, we'll have the fireplaces on, the tree will be up and lit, and we'll say: "IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR!!!" Absolutely LOVE the holiday season.


Think about what you could, or should change in your life. I know it's the middle of the week, so it's kind of late to re-schedule everything, but think- what am i doing that is kind of, well- pointless? In my every day schedule, do i really glorify God through my words and acts? Just a thought i'm putting out there.


Take care, hopefully i'll write soon! Pray for me, I have 3 tests in the next couple of days.


All the love that I can give through Christ,


Bethany

Reflecting on my blessings

Good evening, bloggers! :)


Alright, well this weekend has been absolutely INCREDIBLE! I can't believe how blessed I am to have such an amazing family and faithful friends. It makes me think, wow! Why me? I wonder why God has blessed me so much..


Thinking about how much I have to do this week makes me sad! :( It's the hardest year of Highschool, and they really use that to their advantage! Teacher after teacher, lecture after lecture, test after test.. when will it end? I know it will only get harder from here on out..


What a great few days, spending time with family and friends, reflecting on how much I have been given! Praise God...


Sleep well! :)  Talk to you soon

Yummy Turkey!

Happy thanksgiving weekend! I can smell the turkey! :) Hope you all are enjoying the long weekend and are getting some time to rest and reflect on the many reasons you should be thankful. I don't really understand how non-believers could celebrate this holiday, without thinking who they should be thankful to. I mean, yea. Sure we can thank our family members for always encouraging us and being there in our times of need, but who do we thank for our loved ones? Boy, am I glad I can answer that with gladness.

Thank you Lord for all of my friends and loved ones! :)

Take this time to thank God for how He has blessed you in the past year. How have you grown with Him? It's a wonderful time to come together with family and friends and just be grateful for our many blessings. I thank God for you!

Another thing to think about, should we only be thankful on thanksgiving? It's crazy to think about how selfish we are, we should constantly be in thanks to our God and Saviour. Last night I had a dream that some friends were making fun of me because I was listening to Christian music, It was nuts! I felt so alone, and scared- it almost made me feel embarassed.. But just think, Jesus was persectued even more. He's the one we're praising in this music! Whew, what a God! What a Saviour.

A couple nights ago I went to a David Crowder concert, featuring Hillsong Youth! It was great to meet them and share stories. Now they follow me on twitter!

Oh yea, by the way.. My twitter account is : BFGmotion

Enjoy the turkey! Give thanks to God, he's amazing :)

New Beginnings

I've wanted to start a blog for a long time, so we'll see how this turns out.

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Bethany and i'm in the tenth grade. Next year I'm graduating from highschool, and i'm pretty pumped for that!

So why'd I start this blog? I guess because I feel like I have a lot to put out there, and taking every oppurtunity to do so would be beneficial for those around me, because I love to encourage and pray for everyone I meet. This blog will be centered around christianity and my walk in the faith. I've learnt a lot as I've walked with God.

I guess i'll just run through quickly who I am and how I came to be. I grew up in a Christian home, my parents are both missionaries here, in southern Quebec. Ever since I can remember, I've gone to a loud, lively church and most of my friends have been born-again christians. I was always a shy kid, growing up- many family members tell me I was funny, and laughed a lot. Once I entered Highschool and my sister had already gotten married, a lot of changes were happening in my life. At this point, I was still a believer but doubted not God's existance, but if he was a loving God, I didn't feel very loved by Him.

So i went through a lot, until finally I came to a point where I had to make a critical decision. I chose God, and ever since I've been living for Him. It's been 3 years since that dark time of my life, and a lot has happened for the good! He blesses us once we turn to Him.

Last March I went to Panama on my first missions trip. It was so encouraging, and me and 9 other classmates from my school witnessed. We led others to Christ, and it was incredible! This past summer I went on another missions trip with my youth group- to Chicago, Illinois, US. Awesome experience as well, as we led a VBS there, down south.

I plan to study social service in Cegep (after i graduate next year), unless God lead's me somewhere else. I have a huge burden for the needy.

"I serve the needy, because I was once in need."

So yea, welcome to my space! Hope you enjoy getting to know me a bit better and I'm aiming to help others in their walk.
