Let God Shine Through You! - Sharing God through your actions and words.

        Howdy, howdy y’all! I'm glad to be back from the short hiatus. Lately, I have been having some technical difficulties, and haven't been able to focus on blogging.  For today's blog, I am going to share how I let God shine in my life, and how you can let him shine in your life.  There is more than one way to reflect God in your life. Two ways I will describe how I have reflected God in my life, and how you can reflect him is through your actions and words. Actions and words are important for a christian to be aware of because what they do can be Biblical or not Biblical. This can also determine if a person sees Christ in the person or not. Anyway, lets get started.

        One of the ways to I reflect Christ is through 1 Corinthians 13. 1 Corinthians 13 is the love passage. If a person does not love, all that he or she does means nothing (verses 1-3). The passage also goes through what love looks like. A description of love would be "suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails," 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. God calls us to love, and it is clear how we can do so. This is the person I strive to be daily.

        Another way I reflect Christ is sharing God's word. Mark 16:15 says "And he said to them, 'Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.' " In this passage, Jesus tells his disciples to go and share the Gospel.  We are disciples as Christians according to 1 Corinthians 11:1, which makes Mark 16:15 relevant to us. John 14:15 says "if you love me, you will keep my commands," therefore, as Christians, it is our duty to share the Gospel.

       Sharing God through your actions and words are important.  I encourage you to do your own research on what reflecting God looks like.  That wraps up today's blog.  I hope you enjoyed reading my blog.  Don't forget to subscribe.

Wheatear it is for school, work, or tax information, these will help you keep track of what you have. With folders and binders, you can buy a label maker and label everything clearly. You can also do this online online as well (Amazon Lists and Google Drive). In school, I use different folders for each class as needed. I also have one separate folder for paper homework.

Lake and Beach Fun! Vacation 2023 - Haley Owens

Image
          Howdy, everyone! I am super excited to share my vacation blog with everyone. Vacation was so much fun for my family and I. We drove to South Carolina and North Carolina to visit the beach and lake with extended family. Overall, I enjoyed my experience on vacation.           Vacation first started out in South Carolina. My immediate and extended family stayed at a lake house with a boat. Most days looked like riding in the boat and going for a swim. One  thing my sister, dad, and I did was take a walk through a forest park in the area.          The next destination my family went to is Wilmington, North Carolina. Here, we went to a beach town. Most of our days looked like renting a boat, swimming, surfing, or riding bikes. During our time there, we found a small café named Sunday's Café. Their chai tea was the best.          Overall, I enjoyed vacation. Going to North and South Carolina and spending time with family was great. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Amazon Necessities - College Edition

          Howdy everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today, I am going to talk about Amazon finds for college students. I will show everyone the low down on college essentials I love on Amazon. If you plan on shopping online, you are in the right place. I am contemplating creating an Amazon influencer account so you can shop there instead of going back and forth to my blog and Amazon looking at college products. I can also do this for my monthly favorites. If you would like me to do this, let me know. Let's get into my favorite Amazon finds.      1. Surge protector. A surge protector is perfect for students with multiple plugs (lamp, phone, laptop, coffee maker, and more). Not only that, but the surge protector will protect your electronics from damage during power outages.      2. Storage ottomans. In case you have a high-rise bed, invest in some storage ottomans. Not only can these be used for storage, but since what you are buying is an ottoman (or ottomans) this is also a great place
