G’Day! Christabelletheblog,
Cool Post, Please, don’t think I’m trying to be conceited. As a Christian, I find a lot of people in the street staring at me and calling me beautiful. I love talking about God and usually is the first thing I mention when having a discussion. My sis also have a beauty and a very loud voice, who knows she probably have that loud voice to preach.
So can God use beauty to attract people and so that they preach his word?
Good Job!
