Buon Giourno! I'm Abigail Myers, but most people call me Abby. This is my first ever blog post, so I thought it would make sense for me to tell all of you why I am doing this. In the region of Arkansas where I live, nothing ever happens. We live 30 miles away from a Wal Mart for pete's sake! The best, most interesting part of my week are the youth and church services that I attend twice a week at Salem First Baptist Church in Salem, Arkansas which is 45 minutes away. My youth pastor, Jeff Halbert, has gotten me to grow closer to God than I have ever been in my entire life. Lately, his subject of choice has been outreach. He tells us that we need to be bold and step out of our comfort zone no matter the consequence to tell others about Jesus and what he did. Because I am a quiet, almost withdrawn person that prefers to be alone reading or drawing than with other people, this has been a big step for me to take. I was talking to my art teacher one day when she showed me her blog and described how it was a great way for her to escape the day and let her frustrations out for other people to read. I know, it sounds awful, but it's true. I figured, why not? If I can't find the courage to tell others about Jesus in vocally spoken words, maybe I could do it through typed words. So that's my purpose. To tell people about Jesus. I care deeply about every single one of you out there and your eternal destiny so I pray that if any of you are out there listening that you will heed my words and open your hearts and minds and let Jesus enter your life. The difference it makes will astound you!
