Suffering is one topic that is constantly on our minds. People everywhere seem to be suffering. We see it in foreign places, in our own neighborhoods, and even in ourselves at times. And when we encounter these situations they seem soo hard; sometimes they even seem hopeless.

But did God create us to be a hopeless people?

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." Romans 12:2

Last year, the church I attend did a bible study through the book of Romans. I would recommend going to www.harvest.org/women and checking out the Women's Bible Fellowship link on the left side. It was a great encouragement to me throughout the year and also helped to convict me of some serious sin issues in my life. Romans 12:2 was one of those verses.

I was asking God what I should start blogging about next and a question came to my mind- What is Christianity all about? Many preachers and teachers could go on for days with heavy theology that discusses what being a Christian entails and blah, blah, blah... but what is it REALLY about? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discredit anyone's teachings by discussing this or trying to push you in one direction over another, but Paul says in 1 Peter 3:15 to "Always be prepared to give the reason for the 'hope' that you have".
