New Beginnings

Welcome to Eternally Minded!

This is so crazy. We actually have a blog! It's something Brooke and I have been talking and dreaming about since we were eight. No joke. And now it's happening!

So bear with us.

You know the saying, "A brunette and a blonde form an unbreakable bond"?

That's pretty much us.

She's blonde, I'm brunette. It's very obvious in our friendship.

Brooke and I have been friends for a long time. Like, as far back as I can remember :P

We both love music. While I tend to favor Cape Breton fiddle, pop, and inspirational, she's an avid lover of jazz, latin, and funk music (don't ask me why, I think she's weird). We both play violin, bass, and a tad of piano. Our families are both musically inclined. The combined talents of drums, multiple guitars, bass, a few keyboards, and a few violins, make impromptu jam sessions a blast. We love to play worship songs and hymns together.

Her love and desire for the Lord is relevant in both our friendship and her everyday life. She's really fun and outgoing. I'm convinced she has the ability to befriend anyone.
Me, not so much. If you were to ask for a sentence to describe me, it would be: I am a 16 year old, introverted voice of reason, striving to live and accomplish God's will in my everyday life.

In past summers, we've both had the privilege to work at Arrowhead Native Bible Center. It has done wonders for our friendship and our relationships with God. Through the burdens of getting through days at camp, the real sides of people is alarmingly relevant. However, some of our most growing experiences happened at camp, and we are so grateful for them.

Brooke and I are just beginning on this new step of our friendship with this blog. We are confident that we will grow through this new experience. Please be patient with us, as we are still learning. Your prayers are coveted! You will be in ours!

A verse to think about:
For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. (Isaiah 57:15)

Betrothed to Christ

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...

Part Two: The Glory of God not Honored

Adam and Eve, the first humans created, committed the first sin at the beginning of time. God had given them a perfect garden in a perfect world, with no sin. He gave them only one rule: not to eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which He placed in the center of the garden. The Devil, Lucifer, an angel fallen from heaven, came to Eve as a serpent, and tempted her to eat the fruit of that tree. Eve yielded to him and furthermore Adam did the same. That was the first sin. You may think that if it was you in that situation, you wouldn’t do it. Don’t think that. We are all born with a sin nature. We are pressured with temptation every day. Whether we fall into it or not determines if we sin.  From the beginning it was God’s design for us to live with Him in perfect union. We were to reflect and represent God throughout the whole earth and therefore spread His glory throughout the world. God would walk and talk with us. We would be His people and He would be our G...

Obedience: The Best Way to Show That You Believe

Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe, Doing exactly what the L ORD commands, doing it happily. Action is the key, do it immediately.  Joy you will receive!  Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe! I'm sure nearly everyone has heard that Sunday School song at one point or another. But if you take a close look at the words, some of them are very profound and challenging. That line, "Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe" is like a hammer to the ego when it sinks in. How often do we obey? Like, really obey? What is obedience? Is it just doing as we're told, or it there more to it than that?  Obedience is defined as a " compliance with an order, request, or law or submission to another's authority."  Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive... Hebrews 13:17 You can outwardly obey without being submissive on the inside. We do it all the time.  Obedience which is n...
