I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL. "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation--to every one that believeth."--Rom. 1:16. The gospel, the good news or good tidings, is so good and so grand, that those who really see and understand it, have no occasion for feeling shame when they tell to others all they can of its height and depth, and length and breadth. It needs no apology on God's part, neither on the part of any of his ambassadors. In this respect it differs from all human theories which claim to be the gospel; for all schemes of human origin are necessarily imperfect, like their formulators. Of God's work alone can it be said, "His work is perfect." His thoughts are not as our thoughts, nor his ways as our ways; for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are his ways higher than our ways, and his thoughts higher than our thoughts.--Isa. 55:9.
God is powerful! I have been born again multiple times. even though i am not old enough to understand everything that God says, i understand that he is my savior and as long as i have him then nothing else matters in this world. I have realized this over the past couple years, its completely turned my life around. im sure he has lots more to change in me...its only just begun.
I am not ashamed of my faith. I encourage my friends to pray, come to church with me...people i dont even know, i will tell them they need God. i tell my story. whats happened to me...things that have gone on in my life, and how God has changed the way i am. I once told my friends mom to ask God to forgive her for what shes done, she told me that God was lucky if she forgave him for what he's done to her...
even though i didn't want to hurt her feelings, i told her she was wrong.
I'm not ashamed to have God in my life, and anyone that knows me knows that. I am a proud Christian. God is my everything, and once i figured that out, nothing else mattered.

God is a very important part of my life and He should be in everyones. I trust in God in all things i do. I grew up in a christian home, but i still had to deal with the same problems that average families did with things like rebelious siblings. But it never stopped me from trusting in God. I've had a fair share of unfortunate things happen in my life but I never let them shake me or bring me down. About 4 years ago I made the decision to give my life to God and it has been soo much better since. Although I still do things that i know i shouldnt and im not really a fan of following rules, I know that no matter what i do wrong or whatever bad choice i make God will always be there to be my rock when I need him. He will always guide me in everything i do. I think everyone should take the chance to see what God can do in their lives. :]

wow. where do i begin. the past four years of my life have been the hardest ones of my life. i only wish i had thought to involve god and let him help me. i use to have such strong faith, and im not going to sit here and make an excuses as to why i fell away from my faith. the point is i just did. it started when we found out my mom had cancer. she has been through 6 years of endless health problems and cancer was the last problem she needed to have. then school played an influence on me. i began not caring so much as to what christ thought, but more what i thought. i began to swear endlessly ( something i am trying to work on). i made poor decisions and did things i am ashamed of. alot of this stemmed from idea that i needed to have a man in my life. at the end of senior year i looked back on the actions i had made over the past yeat. i didnt know who i was, what person i had become. honestly i still dont. at all. i want to so bad. i wish i could go back and erase so many things i have done. another thing that hit me was that god sees all. i was embarrassed thinking of what god had seen me do. its like having your parents knowing all of the things you hope they never find out. i cant say i am in a good place as of now. it the hardest struggle i am going through. i recently have found someone who has inspired me for multiple reasons. i really want to start making a change. anyone who reads this just know; that there are othetr people out there trying to become better and grow closer with god. you dont have to be perfect, but having a relationship with jesus christ can help you live better, not perfectly, better. i pray for those of you who are starting out a relationship with god, because i am to starting over again....
*sorry if this is unorganized and such. i just typed what came to my mind.

God always has and continues to work in me and he is continually picking me up and putting me back together. I've realized that being a Christian doesn't mean I have to be perfect. I fall, alot. I mess up, alot. I have struggled for years with a problem that I don't have to struggle with. It's hard, but daily, I'm gaining strength and hope and with time I truely believe that I will be completely free from it. I believe God has already set me free from it, but I know that it's going to take time to train my mind to not be sucked in to the world's ideas and it's going to take time to be completely seperated from this problem. But I trust God that that time WILL come and it will be like it was never a part of me. I am not ashamed in the least bit to talk about God or his grace and the way he has worked in my life. There have been many times I have strayed, but he has brought me back every time and I've realized that all the times I have strayed away from him I have been the most miserable and I have failed more in those times than I have in any other times. I've realized that with God I'm strong and I can overcome anything. I'm happiest when he is a part of my life. When I conciously choose to make God the center of my life. When I choose to praise him in everything I do. That's when I go beyond being just content with life, but to being abundantly blessed and truly happy, thriving, and powerful. He makes all things wonderful.
"Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Not much to say........ but God has really brought me out of despair he is seriously working on me and using me to do his will. I wake up thankin him everyday for the many blessings he has been shedding upon my life. I've been through so much this last year and I always use to wonder why me and I jus thought God forgot about me but when i accepted him as my personal savior this summer things have began to look upward and I realize the God doesn;t put more on us then we can bare......Im learning everyday through my child, my education and definately my relationship (which has been my biggest test) that God will make away.
God Bless
