HI THERE ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY--I decided to start a blog. . .why? well I like to read my friends blogs and I feel like it is a good way to keep people updated on my life. So, here it goes. Heather Louise Clobes Avila starts a blog. Hope you enjoy!!!
I recently attended a concert called the Rock and Worship road show. It was only ten bucks and i got to see Mercy me, Jeremy Camp, Hawk Nelson, and a couple other great bands. I have to say it was the best concert I have ever attended! I have seen many great performances(Metallica, GunsnRoses, Natalie Merchant) but this concert was far better. The bands were great and the ontario citibank place is awesome but more then anything it was the way the whole experience was focused on Jesus.
Anyway Jeremy Camp talked about Speaking Up Speaking Now and Speaking Loud --the link if you want to read more http://www.jeremycamp.com/speak.html -- but this opened my heart to the idea that I needed to let my friends and family know more about Jesus. That is what this blog will mostly be about. Please be open minded--open hearted and trust that I will do my best!
So since the intro this time is long i will keep the next part short.
Psalm 62:5 Find Rest, O my soul, in God alone: my hope comes from him. He alone in my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
This is one the first verses that really spoke to me. To me it says that nothing this world provides can bring us rest. I don't care what the guarentee's says. The only place we will truly find rest is with God. I can tell you that I have spent most of my life being anxious, angry, and just overall not content with things--this made me tired! I can truly say that as my relationship with God grows I am no longer angry(I still get angry sometimes but I am not a angry person anymore). I am absolutely content with my life; I trust that I am exactly where God wants me. I am still an anxious person at times but I rest knowing that my anxiety is safe in Gods arms and that He alone can handle my anxiety. . .I have found REST!!! Thank you, Jesus
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVE IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. John 3:16
