Measuring Up is a blog to encourage Christian girls to strive to meet God's standard, even though we never will. *Romans 3:23-"For all have sinned and fallen short of God's glorious standard."
Our world says so many things about teenage girls, and expects them to act a certain way. I believe that God's way is much different and much better. For the next few months, I will be posting on this blog some things that God has shown me and ways that we can all take a stand to shine for Christ.
You CAN make a difference, and people WILL listen to you. If you have any ideas or questions about this blog, please e-mail me at jennas_blog@live.com.
My first post will be on 2/19/10. Please read it!

What has been such a challenge to me and really surprises me often is, If I act totally in love and do the right thing to others even if they don't deserve it. Well I am often persicuted for that by this world. But then I am reminded that we persicuted Christ also for doing what was "perfact". So, still I must try to do what He has left me with "the 11th commandment" Love one another as I have loved you. I want to be a "soul winner" nothing else matters. So I will take the persicution. "Blessed are the persicuted for Christ" And, I say Have mercy on us Lord and Come Quick. Be our King. Lead us!!
