Be bold for Jesus.

I was reading my bible today and started thinking about how much its changed since I first opened it. When its cover was still crisp and untattered. The corners were not curled up, no little rips and tears could be found. That has defiantly changed, its faded, with cracks and a few places showing weakness. Where it was once shiny and new it now shows imperfections. Kind of sounds like a Christian. We get messed up, faded and broke down every now and then, and like we patch up the corners and little rips and tears, He fixes and takes away our sins and pain. My bible has bended corners, just like some of the routes I've taken in life, where Jesus had to straighten me out. It's has tape holding it together in some places, just like I need him to do for me a lot of times. Only my bibles tape needs replaced unlike our Savior who never lets up. I love my bible all beat up, just like I'm thankful He loves all his children despite our imperfections and weaknesses. A good bible should be just as worn in as our favorite pair of jeans, should have as many dents and scrapes as our cellphones. Can you imagine how much better our world would be if everyone had a beaten up bible. I know that my dads bible is way more tattered then mine, I think thats a new goal of mine. This world is falling apart, it's time for Christians to fall together.

I decided to give my bible a photo shoot. turned out pretty cute. Matt and I have a challenge from our pastor, to raise enough money to make it on the next Haiti mission trip. We are really wanting to go and ALL donations made are tax deductible! Any help would mean the world to us. Thank you.

ACTS 4.29: "we are you servants. So make us brave enough to speak your message. Show your mighty power, as WE heal people and WORK MIRACLES and wonders in the name of your holy Servant Jesus." Its possible. Miracles still happen today, and he gave all us the holy spirit to do his work. We are his hands and feet here on earth.
