Allow me to introduce myself. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. My name is Sabrina; I am 22 years old. I have a lot on my mind every second of every day. The last two years of my life has been change after change, after change, after change. Last September I joined a woman's Bible study at my church. Week in and week out I pour my heart out to those women, and after 6 months one turned to me and said, "Your life moves at the speed of sound! Every week there is something new and so different going on." She is so right. I replied to her, "You should try living it!" And yet, through all of the trials and changes, somehow when people look at me they seem to say, "Your smile is so contagious." I am so honored and humbled in those moments, because it is not me they see, it is Jesus. Another very good friend of mine said it better recommending to me the following verses:
1 Peter 1:3-9
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade–kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith–of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire–may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
So here I am, with a smile that's contagious and a life the moves at the speed of sound.. Sonic BOOM!!!
