there is a God who loves me,
who wraps me in His arms.
that is the place where my life is changed, oh God.
and that’s where i belong.
my life right now has been turned upside down and i have no idea what will happen anymore. all my hopes, plans and dreams… not the slightest idea. God will have His way.
greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.
Sneezing

as true as it gets. story of my life. my sneezes are RIDICULOUS.

some things honestly seem too good to be true.
this is my first real relationship, and to be completely technical, my first boyfriend. (what happened when i was 15? that one thing 7 years ago? entirely irrelevant and doesn’t count for anything.) our plan for friday is to go look at… engagement rings.
ever since this all came together, i can’t stop thinking about how i don’t understand most (not all, most) relationships in the world without Jesus. i cannot possibly fathom just getting with someone just to get with them, date, engage in some kind of sexual activity for a time, break up, find someone else, and do it all over again. over and over and over. chris and i will not even kiss on the lips until our wedding day. the concept of “dating around” and doing so based only on physical attraction or even brief personality attraction is so foreign to me.. especially because i have never done it, even before i turned to Jesus and led a christian lifestyle. and all i can say is i am honestly very glad that i never experienced that. the way things are right now feel pretty much awesome.
it’s all coming back to me now.
if you forgive me all this
if I forgive you all that
we forgive and forget
and it’s all coming back to me.
when you see me like this
and when I see you like that
we see just what we want to see…
all coming back to me.
just in case anyone was considering getting a mohawk, let me inform you that trying to grow it out looks like the most ridiculous thing in the world. a customer today at my job (dollar store) felt the need to let me know she noticed i was trying to grow out an asymmetrical mohawk. if it’s that obvious, it can’t be good. that is all.
can you guess how old my boyfriend is?
when he’s 40 he’s gonna look 25… LOL.
oh yeah, he’s older than me too. scoreeee. bahahaha. i love you, chris - my awesome man of God!
I have three things I’d like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don’t give a shit. What’s worse is that you’re more upset with the fact that I said shit than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night.

1. 150,000 people die every day without knowing Jesus. that is considerably more devastating to think about than people dying because they had no food. not to diminish the fact that people are suffering because of famine, but i hope you see my point.
2. cursing is absolutely unnecessary and is commanded NOT to do in the bible, regardless of your reasoning for it. james 3:9-10, ephesians 4:29, colossians 3:8. trying to be “radical” and appeal to people in a worldly manner in order to get them to act for a cause is absolute fail. you cannot be a friend of God and a friend of the world. (james 4:4) if you are leading God’s people and leading them astray with your words, you will certainly be judged more harshly. (james 3:1)
3. i believe in preaching the gospel COMBINED with helping the needy! NOT ONLY one OR the other at a given time.
are you more concerned about using the “liberal” “shock factor” to get people to follow your watered down, works-based christianity, or do you actually desire to live out the gospel in EVERY way? are you grounded in SCRIPTURE alone? do you care about telling those children about Jesus as you feed them? you can do good works all day long from here to the moon, but if you do not tell anyone that they need to be saved through Christ alone, you are not doing your job as a christian.
and that is my two cents. this blog is based upon this quote alone and not anything else. if there is more to this quote in which this pastor actually talks about salvation and repenting and preaching the gospel, someone please fill me in.
