Short thoughts

I know its been a while since I've written but
you should just get use to these large gaps of
silence from me, because they will happen often.

I was reading 2 Timothy 1:7-12 today and really felt
challenged. I feel that in my Christian walk I am
sometimes extremely timid. Our Jesus however does
not give us a spirit of timidity though.

2 Timothy 1:7-12-- " 7For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 8So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, 9who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. 12That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day."

There isn't much to this blog...just read this and
felt extremely encouraged and wanted to share...

Praying for Christ like boldness,
