It is 3:01 AM right now. While a normal human being should be asleep at this time, this is not my case. It all began about two hours ago when I grabbed my blanket and reached for my bible and journal. I couldn't sleep so I figured I might as well read, eventually sleep would come pounding at my door (PAUSE) Just a side note but my mom always says if you can't sleep at night, just grab the Bible and you'll fall asleep. The devil doesn't want you reading the Word, so all of a sudden you'll find yourself nodding off. Ah, it's the truth! Anyway, I got distracted when I thought of my friend's newly created blog and then somehow I was lead to a Christian blog and then to another Christian blog and then another...and then I started thinking,
mm whatever happened to that blog I was gonna use as my Bible journal
That little thought sparked it all.
Hence the creation of this blog. While browsing and reading blogs, I came across something called the "The Five Solas of the Reformation." I had never heard of it till now, and I was like Bingo! I just found the title of the blog. Soli Deo Gloria! It describes my desire for my actions; in everything I do may it be pleasing in His eyes and to the glory of His name.

Sola Scriptura: The Scripture Alone is the Standard
Soli Deo Gloria! For the Glory of God Alone
Solo Christo! By Christ's Work Alone are We Saved
Sola Gratia: Salvation by Grace Alone
Sola Fide: Justification by Faith Alone
"And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ" Romans 1:6. The name of this blog came entirely from the Holy Spirit. I was actually looking for a different translation of Romans 1:16 but omitted the 1. When I read the verse, I was like whooaaa! Hold up, did I just read that? I grabbed my own bible to read the preceding verses and was like this verse 6 is wassup! And then I found a sermon by John Piper (pastor) on that particular verse online- mind you I wasn't even looking for this. I read it and in all honesty, was little speechless and excited at the same time. Here's the link by the way: Romans 1:6-7 (Click me!)

As I write this entry, I find myself at peace. Yes, sleep might just be in sight! However, before I sign out, I just want to introduce my theme for this coming school year.
"Every place that the sole of your feet shall tread upon that have I given unto you." Joshua 1:3
"This day will I begin to magnify thee..." Joshua 3:7
I don't know how to explain it, but my God is AMAZING. Like truly amazing and I'm hoping that others may see that through this blog. Ciao!
