The Beginning

Alrighty. So today is the very first blog post for me, ever! Woooo! You should be excited because I have heard by many that my thoughts are quite entertaining. Now, with the fact that I named this first blog post "The Beginning", wouldn't it just be excellent if I talk about just that? Yep, you named it. THE beginning.
God created the heavens and the earth as well as Adam and as well as Eve. He created EVERYTHING here on earth. The trees, the flowers, the mountains, clouds, stars, and sky. God is ballin :)
I recently finished reading an excellent book called Captivating and it was written by John Eldredge and his wife Stasi. Fantastic book and I would recommend it to all women. (Sorry fellas, it's a lady book ;) ) Within I read all about how valuable women truly are, how vital we all are. Eve, and all women, are a reflection of beauty. God's beauty. And we also share with God that desire for relationships. Sure, guys desire that too but not nearly to the extent women do. We were born to mother, to nurture things. God creates life and we get the wonderful deed to bring those lives into the world. Women, we give life. Another trait God gave us that connects us to Him.
You know who hates that we give life? You know the reason Eve Fell? Satan. Satan is the Prince of Death. He HATES us. He hates that we give life for he wants the opposite for all creation. Eternal torment by not only a physical death, but a spiritual death. It's intense stuff right here and scary to think about, but completely true. The serpent lied to Eve and made Eve doubt God. She thought God was holding out on her, but He really wasn't.
Now, I'm not trying to start anything or point fingers but in this book they touched a little on where Adam was when Eve was being tempted. And I'm only sharing this because I had never heard this before. Adam was, in fact, right there. In the Bible it says, (Genesis 3:6) "So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate." Now the Hebrew word for "with her" apparently means "side to side" or "elbow to elbow" meaning that Adam was...right there. Does it say Adam protested and told Eve to stop? Unfortunately, no. And all along I had thought, and possibly even been taught that Eve ate it and went and found Adam and made him eat it. Coming across this finding gives me a little more peace of mind with Eve. Just a tad though.

Note To Self: When God tells you not to do something don't think God is holding out on something glamourous, He knows what's best for us and wishes for us all to prosper.

I hope you enjoyed the first batch, hopefully I can make more that possibly make a little more sense. Then again, what do you expect at 12:30 in the morning? Awhh...well, til I type again, God Bless :)
