I've Got the Power!

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)

As we've mentioned in other posts, this verse is going to be the theme verse for Blume, and there is so much power in those words! What girl doesn’t need to be reminded of the fact that she has been given the power of God ALMIGHTY to share with the world?!?

I know I certainly do.

Sometimes it’s hard to be bold in shining for Christ, but it's a calling we are all responsible for!
Most of you should be finishing up this school year pretty soon, so what are you going to do this summer?

Whatever you do, know that God is going to be with you and that you possess His power to do the unthinkable. You may not be the most outgoing girl in school, but there is someone you can reach out to this summer.

Has God put anyone on your heart? Don’t ignore His call! God didn’t give you fear; He gave you power and love and good sense, so use them! Get out there and show the world the love of God, and remember your new mantra, “I’VE GOT THE POWER!”
