Introduction

By Anonymous
Ahhhh! This is so exciting! Berea and I have been wanting to write a blog together for a long time! There are a lot of squeals of laughter being passed through the phone right now! It's crazy to see this coming together!

 As an introduction to who we are, Berea and I have been childhood friends since we were six years old. These were our first words to each other:
Brooke: "Do you like dolls?"
Berea: "Do you want to see my room?"

 And from there we have grown up a little. Berea, who lives with her family in Nova Scotia, is quiet when you first meet her but very emotionally expressive once she opens up! She thinks a lot, and is very people and relationship oriented. She has grown in her love for God and his word! I always love to get a phone call from her, and hear about what God is teaching her and the verses that He has opened her eyes to.

 She's the dreamer between the two of us. She comes up with all the ideas and plans, and we dive head first into them! She loves playing her fiddle, reading romantic, intrigue, and mystery books, snuggling with her golden-doodle, Reuben, volunteering at Arrowhead Native Bible Center (a camp in New Brunswick), and (as I just recently discovered) writing!

Now as an intro to what our goals are for this blog - we seek to bring God glory in encouraging each other and other young teens to live our lives for eternity. Over the years we have been realizing more and more that life is short and eternity is forever. We're realizing that living our lives to impact eternity is far more important than living them for immediate pleasure or satisfaction.

"...the world passeth away, and the lust thereof:
 but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (1 John 2:17)

 Sincerely, 
Brooke

Betrothed to Christ

By Anonymous
I was reading in Exodus and was reminded of the beautiful picture of Christ and His bride. In Exodus 21:7-11, you find a peculiar law about maidservants: 1) She does not bide by the same laws as the menservants, which can leave their master after six years. 2) If her master who has betrothed her to himself is not pleased  with her, he cannot sell her to the gentiles, but must let her be redeemed; because he has dealt unfaithfully and deceitfully with her. 3) If her master has betrothed her to his son, he must treat her like his daughter. 4) His son must provide for her food, clothes, and duty of marriage and cannot diminish them if he takes another wife. If he does, the maidservant can leave for free. Weird? Kind 'a, but it makes sense. Then God popped a thought into my head about Hosea. Hosea was a prophet who was told by God to marry a harlot to illustrate God's love for Israel. Now at one point Gomer, Hosea's wife, left him for another man and ended up getti...

Precious in God's Sight

By
John 12:43: "They loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God."  This verse has been running through my head for a few weeks now. I included it in my last post, but honestly, it just boggles my mind. Well, not actually. I completely understand how the people this verse is talking about were deceived enough to believe that man's glory was more valuable than God's. Probably the reason it sticks with me is for fear that the same thing may be said about me some day. This summer, I was privileged to be in the girls' dorm at camp for two weeks. I always love being in the dorm because of the amazing opportunity it brings to study the Word of God and encourage one another. We usually read through a couple of the New Testament letters together in the evenings, (James being one of our favourites) but this year, we decided to read 1 Peter.  Some things stood out to me... "Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of h...

Ezekiel's prediction and Christ's fulfillment

By Anonymous
Ezekiel Chapter 4-5 There are four object lessons in this passage that display the type of judgement that was coming for Israel and Judah.  First (Ezekiel 4:1-3): Ezekiel was commanded to draw the map of Jerusalem on a clay brick and demonstrate how the city would be attacked and destroyed.  Second (Ezekiel 4:4-8): Ezekiel was commanded to lie on his left side for 390 days, symbolic of the 390 years Israel disobeyed God, and 40 days on his right side, symbolic of the 40 years Judah lived in rebellion against God; and do this while starring at the model of the siege of Jerusalem and prophesying against it. Third (Ezekiel 4:9-17): He was to prepare bread to ration out while he lied on his side and cook it over manure. This symbolized how God would make them eat defiled bread in the land of the gentiles where he would scatter them and where they would starve.  Fourth (Ezekiel 5:1-4): Ezekiel was commanded to shave his hair and divide it into three equal parts. 1/3 was...
