I Am Not Ashamed...

Right now,I am reading the book Rachel's Tears,It is the story and journal entry's of Rachel Joy Scott,one of the girls killed in the Columbine shooting on April 20,1999.I came across this part of her journal that really stuck out to me:
"I am not going to apologize for speaking the name of Jesus,
I am not going to justify my faith to them,
and I am not going to hide the light that God has put in me.
If I have to sacrifice everything...I will."
That reminded me of the verses:
According to my earnest expectation and my hope,that in nothing I shall be ashamed,but that with all boldness,as always,so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body,whether it be by life,or by death.~Philippians 1:20
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;to the Jew first,and also to the Greek.~Romans 1:16
Let's not be ashamed,let's proclaim it to everyone...
 
 

Excerpt from THROUGH MY EYES

This was a good book I read,even though it isn't the right Bible Version he has some great points!Here is one of my favorites:

A few days later,on Mother's Day,I spoke at a church in Memphis and shared briefly about my mother's refusal to abort me.After the service,a young woman waited to speak with me."I have an abortion scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9 A.M.,"she cried,"and now I will not go through with it."

Amazing what God does when we simply plant seeds.

-Chapter 21,page 247
