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...

A Life Wholly True

By
...His wives turned away his heart. For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the L ORD his God... For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the L ORD and did not wholly follow the L ORD , as David his father had done. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites, on the mountain east of Jerusalem. And so he did for all his foreign wives, who made offerings and sacrificed to their gods.  And the L ORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the L ORD , the God of Israel...   1 Kings 11:3-9 Take careful note of this passage. What did Solomon do to make God angry? What was his great sin? Idolatry.  I didn't totally realize the concept of this sin until recently. Sure, I ...

Enter into Rest

By Anonymous
Once God brought Israel out of Egypt, some of them began to doubt. They tested and tempted God for 40 years to see if He was really with them (Exodus 17:7). God was doing miracles and working among them, but they had hardened their hearts in unbelief (Hebrews 3:12). Because of this, God swore in His wrath that they would not enter into His rest (Psalm 95:11). And so, the unbelieving in Israel did not enter the promise land, but died in the wilderness (Hebrews 3:17-19). In Psalm 95, David applied this same story and gave the command not to harden our hearts like the Israelites who could not enter God's rest. He said, "T oday if you will hear His voice..." (Psalm 95:7). So if God had given Israel rest in the promise land, why would David talk about another day (Hebrews 4:7-9); except that there is another day when we will enter God's rest - a rest that the promise land only pointed to. Just like Abraham looked for a city beyond the land of Canaan whose builder an...
