Jesus Is Awesome!

Okay, this post is all about...

(Get ready to read)
I've been thinking a lot about Christianity lately - Witnessing, praying, and reading my Bible.
I am not the best witness, by a long shot! I guess because I'm so shy. But, I'm working on that! ;) I'm not very good at reading my Bible either. I do read my Bible every day, well, I try to, and I do pray everyday. But, we could all do better, right?

And, I was thinking of angels being around me, too. I could just picture angels surrounding me and having me in a big bubble that protects me from everything.
I don't think we realize how often Jesus protects us. We could be walking down the side of the road, and a car drives past us - we don't think about it, but that car could have slid off the road and killed us! But, maybe God protected us and the people in the car, and kept the car from hitting us.

A family from our church had a house fire not too long ago. They have seven kids and one of their daughters is one of my bestest friends. Actually today is her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETHANY!!!! She's turning 14. But, anyway, her and her sister's room caught on fire. The firemen said that if the they would have been in bed at the moment, that one of them or both have them could have died!!! And if one of them would have gotten out, she would have third degree burns! But, luckily, they were all in the living room, which is on the other side of the house, watching a movie together, so all of them were okay. And, they all (including some people who knew them) were in a circle rejoicing and thanking God that they were all okay. And, some of the firemen looked confused. Here they are, they just had a fire and they're rejoicing? ;)

And someone is our church's mother is in the hospital. (So, please pray for her) We went to visit her today. (They're Christians by the way) And, her heart rate was racing and she was brought to the hospital. And her husband was watching her heart rate on the meter thing. And he said he watched her heart rate go from like 120 to like 60 in a split second. No one could explain how, not even the doctors knew what happened, but her and her husband knew what happened. ;)

Isn't God FANTASTIC?!?!?!?!

I love this picture! ☺In fact, it's my new wallpaper on my desktop! Every time I see pictures like this, it makes me smile and look forward to going to Heaven with Jesus then I will be one of those children sitting on Jesus' lap. Sigh... I just can't wait until we get to go to Heaven. Can you? I know I can't!

Matthew 14:25-33

²⁵During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
²⁶When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.
²⁷But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
²⁸"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."
²⁹"Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
³⁰But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"
³¹Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
³²And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
³³Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

Good night!
