Regionals, Jurney's turn!

Well, this last Friday was the final Regionals. This one is for the teens grades 7th-12th. This time it was at Berean Baptist Church in Ogden, Utah. Jurney entered 3 categories. Photography (nature/color), Sketching, and the Spelling Bee. She took 3rd place in all divisions. Jurney takes her camera everywhere. Jurney was very excited that she was able to place at all. Once you get in with the teens the competing level is very advanced. You should have seen some of the things that were entered. I am very proud of how hard Jurney worked on her projects. Next year, Jurney is going to enter in the speech and possibly singing competitions.

Personal Testimony

I was doing "well" for the average joe. I had a husband, a home, two beautiful children, a dog, 2 cars. Something was missing. It was LOVE. Not just any love it was the LOVE of JESUS! It was 2 a.m. I was on the phone. I was telling my friend how the weekend, husband, children they were just not enough anymore. Something was missing, and she told me what it was. She shared Christ with me. How He died for me and my sins, and all I had to do was accept Him. How could I do that? I had done some things that I was not to proud of.. How could I ever be forgiven for them? Then she told me that He paid for them already and that it is a free gift, all I had to do was accept HIM. I could not come before God with anything, but the blood of Christ. That was the only thing that could make me whole! That night, I prayed, I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour.. You too, can do the same.
