Welcome

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I'm Gabrielle, a college student learning to seek God with my whole heart while reaching out to love on the people around me. I've done my own quiet time for a while now, but seldom do I write about it. That leads to forgetting what I read, which defeats the whole purpose of the quiet times. Here I'll be posting what I think and learn each day in my quiet time with my Savior. This is my way to keep myself accountable. If you (the reader) want to comment on or discuss anything in my posts, feel free to. I'd love to discuss and learn more. Personal quiet times are wonderful, and community discussion is sometimes even better.

My goal is to post once per day in order to keep myself accountable and retain what I read. The title of this blog, Two-Penny Promises, comes from the story of the widow's mites found at a glance in Luke 21:

Luke 21:1-4 (ESV)
The Widow's Offering

¹ Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, ² and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. ³ And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. ⁴ For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

I strive to live a life such as the widow did--giving everything that I have to God, even when I don't have much to give.

My posts will likely be made in the mornings, right after or during my quiet times. We'll see as the Spirit allows.

My boyfriend will be joining in on this as well, so there will also be posts from him. We'll distinguish between the two, don't worry. :)

In Christ and love,

Gabrielle
