By His Wounds We Are Healed

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5. Word cannot describe how thankful I am that Jesus paid the ultimate price so that I can have eternal life. Now that is love right there. John 15:13 says, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." There is NO greater love out there than the love Jesus Christ showed us the day he was crucified for our sins. If you think about it, not just anyone would want to die just so that you or I can live. Easter Sunday is so much more than just Easter bunnies leaving treats behind for little kids. It is all about how Jesus was put on a cross on Good Friday, and then 3 days later, on Easter Sunday he rose again. Thank you God for sending your one and only son to die on the cross so that I may have eternal life. I love you. Have you thanked God anytime lately?

How do you feel about gay rights? Asked by Megan.

To be honest I am not against gays at all. I don't have any problems with anyone who is gay. Do I think its right and will I go out of my way to make sure gay people have rights? No. I think its wrong to be gay but if you are I will not treat you any differently than the way I treat those who aren't gay. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 says this: “Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” I chose to live my life for God, I chose to follow him and his rules all the days of my life. It is okay to struggle with being gay and if you ask the Lord for help he will help you. He will forgive you and you will get to go to the Kingdom of God.

My Love

 I love the way he kisses me in public and doesn't care what anyone thinks or says. I love how he makes me feel like I am the only girl in his world. I look around and see broken hearts everywhere I go. I see cheaters and liars and people who just flat out don't care. But when I look at him I see hope, I see a future. I see someone who genuinely cares for me as much as I care for them. I see someone who is willing to risk just about anything just to spend 5 minutes with me. I see a real man who was raised right with good values and who knows how to treat a woman. I know in my heart that he will never do anything to intentionally hurt me. And when I am with him I feel like I could soar with the wings of an angel. I feel like I am on top of the world. He is the only one that can really make me laugh and actually feel real happiness. And the way he makes me feel safe is the best thing in the world. I know God has truly blessed me with him and I will forever treasure him and hold him close to my heart.

Friends Come...and they Go...

 It seems like it doesn't matter how good my day goes, in the end I still feel empty and feel like something is missing in my life. I feel lonely and I feel like no one understands me. Just recently like a week and a half ago I lost my best friend, and even though I may act like I am okay and like its not affecting me, it is. I am hurting badly inside and miss the friendship we use to have. I know people grow up and change, but it wasn't suppose to be like this. Not after 6 years of friendship. It's especially hard when the one person you really want to talk to about it is the one person your no longer speaking to. Yes, I have heard it many times, you have other friends, but you don't understand how close we were and how much I trusted in her only to be let down horribly. I just wish things didn't have to end like this. And I do miss you, but not the new you, the old you.

What if...

I've always heard people say stay strong. In the end everything will work out, but what if you feel like your being jipped of the only good, perfect thing in your world? What if the only thing keeping you together is being taken from you? What if you can feel yourself being ripped apart piece by piece? People say not to think or worry about the what ifs in life, but what if these what ifs are what I am truly feeling right now? Is it okay to worry then? 

Just a little something to make you think about.

Younger Days

"Lollipops turn into cigarettes, the innocent ones turn into sluts, soft drink becomes alcohol, kisses turn into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging in the play ground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst thing you could get from boys was cooties? Dad's shoulders were the highest and Mom was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, and the only drug you knew was cough medicine, and goodbye only meant until tomorrow...Yeah and we all couldn't wait to grow up."  If I could go back in time to the days when we had no worries or cares I would. I miss the carefree days when I thought pain was a scraped knee and it couldn't get worse than that. Now I know a scraped knee isn't the worst thing out there, and I wish it was.
