We were reading a book called It is Well with My Soul, telling the stories of the authors that wrote the four greatest hymns. Forgot the name of the author that wrote It Is Well with my Soul, but we read part of his story today. He was saying that the way he came to Christ was through a street preacher. I thought that the pastor put this in an interesting way. He said:
Repentance is an action, not just a realization. It's like if you are on a train and you want to get to Chicago, but someone beside you tells you that you're on the wrong train, that this one is going to New York. You don't believe him at first, but when he finally convinces you, you do nothing. You just sit there, instead of changing trains, determined to go to New York anyway, even though you were planning on going to Chicago. I thought that was a neat way to put it, but I don't feel like I stated it as well as he did.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
