First Things First

Luke 1:46a-47
"...My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."

My name is Karen(thats me on the far right!). I am the second oldest of 8 children, a PK, and a home school Graduate. I became a Christian at the age of 9, and I love Christ with all my heart.

I love to sing and have ever since I was a little girl. I enjoy fellowshipping with fellow believers, reading, serving, working at home, and, studying on Interior Decorating.
I am currently working at home, which includes laundry, cooking, cleaning , and working with children.
I work with the younger youth (10-14) at our church, am a Church Librarian, and Sunday school teacher (I have not taught in a while but will be doing it again next month).

The Lord has been teaching me a lot lately. one of the things is Learning about Him. In the past I would read my Bible with the mindset of "What applies to me", "What can I get out of it"? The Lord has been showing me that I need to focus on learning about Him.
When reading an email or letter we don't see what applies to us, but what we can learn about the other person, and getting to know the person. That is how it is with Christ. It is not wrong, to have things apply to you or getting something out of it, but that should not be our main focus.

John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
