A Refreshing Afternoon

 My Mom and I went the hospital today due to the weather. (we're all fine, just taking precautionary measures because of the tornado watches in our area.) Anyways, as we were sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch, we were sitting next to some 20 to 30 something year old guys, and I couldn't help but over hear their conversation. To my surprise, they were talking about the bible! One guy was telling the other about his experiences with his family or something like that, and about how he was reading in Proverbs and how the Lord helped him when he really wanted to say some nasty things to his family members or possibly a ex-wife. (I'm not exactly sure.) The other guy was listening intently, soaking up all of what his friend had to say. I'm not sure what the end result was, (after all, I didn't know them from Adam, so I really didn't know the situation) but I did find that it was very refreshing to hear someone talk about Christ openly and in public like that.
 We should all be like those guys. Why should we be ashamed to talk about our Father? We shouldn't be. We should be screaming it loud and clear, like singing in the car with the windows rolled down at a stoplight to a song that noone knows but you and whoever's with you.
 So I challenge you today. Make a difference in this sin-filled world and tell someone about Jesus. Who knows? You might just help add someone to the family of Christ!

Easter - The Christian Independence Day

 If you're a Christian or have Christian beliefs you've probably heard the message of Easter. Whether you have or not, your Easter most likely revolves around the Easter bunny, candy, and nothing of what Easter really is about.
 In reality, Easter is about Jesus dying on the Cross for our sins on Good Friday and rising again on Easter Sunday. (You can read about it in all 4 of the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) Not only did he rise again, he still lives today in heaven with our Heavenly Father God.
 Okay, so you've heard this story but have you ever thought about today being a day of Independence? I didn't till' this morning when I heard a really good message at Rose Hill FWB church. I mean really think about it, today marks the day for Christians that we became free of our sins because Jesus paid the ultimate price for us out of Love - Death. Today should be a day of excitement! We're  FREE!!!!  So lets think of today as our day of Independence, our Independence from sins through Jesus Christ.

Inspiration

Since you now know why I'm blogging, I probably should tell you about how I became inspired to blog. First of all, I was reading the book Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris. Alex and Brett were 16 when they wrote it, and it all started with a blog. (You can check out the website under the link over there ---> click on 'The Rebelution.') They inspired me by being so young and writing a book, or a blog that turned into a book for that matter. After I read the book I declared myself a Rebelutionary, and that I was going to start doing hard things for Christ, I just wasn't sure where to start. That's when I read Start Here Alex and Brett's companion book to Do Hard Things. After I finished it, (which was just a couple of days ago) I found a way to Glorify Christ - By writing this blog.
 At first, I wasn't sure if I even wanted to do it, or what the subject would be. Then, it hit me! Giving the Glory to God! That was the answer. Now the question was, what should I name it? I was chatting with my little brother in Christ Paul (You can find his blog over there ----> as well) on Facebook lastnight and we were talking about my idea for the blog and I had origanally come up with "God's Glory Girl" and have the shortcut "GGG" Paul said, "It's 3G technology!" (or something to that extent) I then realized that I wanted to reach out to everyone not just girls, and "God's Glory Girl" didn't sound like the best way to do that, plus it sounded just a bit self-oriented, so that idea was out. So we brainstormed  and came up with the name "We R 3G" which I liked and it just stuck! So, needless to say, Paul is definitly some of my inspiration.
 Most importantly, I owe my inspiration to God, who deserves all the Glory for this blog, and what all of this blog is about! He gave me the ideas to create this blog, and gave the people that inspired me their ideas to inspire me with so techinicly God is my main inspiration, he just used humans to help me find my way.

The Intro (Why I'm blogging)

When you first came to this blog you probably wondered what dose We R 3G stand for? Well, the 3G's are Giving Glory and God. What do they have to do with eachother? Everything! We don't deserve any Glory that we get from anything. We're not worthy of it. Why? Because God is perfect, and no one else is. No matter how much or how hard we try, we can't be perfect, it's Impossible! We owe the 'imperfect' status to our Ancestors Adam and Eve. They broke the one rule that they had, (Way to Go!) and because of that, we're all imperfect. (aka sinners.)
So, since we're all sinners God sent his only Son Jesus Christ to die for you and me. (That's right, I said YOU.) Jesus payed the price for OUR sins. All we have to do is accept him as our Lord and Savior, and you'll be saved.
For those of us who are saved, we've been sent on a mission. (Matthew 28:19) I feel called to write this blog so that others can learn about God and how to give glory to him in everything we do. That's why I'm blogging.
