Blog Post Number One

Welcome to our blog! We are so excited that you are here and that you are reading this! Marissa and I met on a Journey to the Heart. Which is a ministry of IBLP, (Institute in Basic Life Principles) organized by Mr. Bill Gothard. Their goal is to help young people have a wonderful relationship with most importantly God, and also their parents. The Journey begins at headquarters, which is located in the beautiful town of Oak Brook, IL. A few minutes south of Chicago. After a few days you team, which is a group of about 13, travels to the Northwoods of Michigan. Where your Journey really begins. A journey to your heart to learn how to come close to God. All of the girls who were on our blue team, are now very dear friends. We have plenty of stories that I am sure we will share sometime!

Though Marissa and I may not have a lot in common on the external surface, but we do have a lot in common in what we believe. We both desire to share the word of God with our generation. While many have walked away from the church, we want to prove that not all is lost, and there is something real to believe in. Which is what we desire to do with this blog. Our first and foremost priority is that unbelievers and those that are questioning their faith would read this, and that we could help those that are confused. We want to help you get to know God personally.If you ever have any questions about how to do this PLEASE feel free to email us at marissaandannakatherine@gmail.com and we would be delighted to talk to you!
While, neither of us are perfect, and sometimes we still struggle with our relationship, it is our desire to grow in leaps and bounds. If you are a believer, then remember, if you have had an encounter with Christ it should show. It should show on the outside. But don't be discouraged, there is hope, and though that last sentence seemed harsh, we really want to help you.
Most Americans are looking for answers, and we want you to know that God is on our side!

We would love to pray for you in any way we can! Email us or follow us on google+. If their is anything we can do to help you to further your relationship with God, please let us know! We will be recommending resources that we are reading, and have learned from. 

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you! 

Rejoicing In Christ!

Anna Katherine and Marissa
