Jesus is my hero, and I love Him sooo much... but I'm so far from perfect that perfection, Jesus, and I are not even comparable... so I need you; I need you to watch me; And criticize me; And make me accountable for everything that I do; So that I can be an example, because there are so many people in my life that I want to change; that I want to see again in heaven. But unless I can live as an example of an honest TO GOD christian... then I have no answer for those non- believers who ask me what's different in my life... I lOvE yOu MoRe ThAn YoU KnOw; Other things about me... there are very few people that know the real me very well... I sing at and attend a really cool church called NEW HEIGHTS COMMUNITY CHURCH! "If you claim to be a christian, and you're life isn't any different than before you became one, then I question whether or not you know what a committment really is. If you claim to be a christian, but rededicate your life to christ on all of the church trips and big services, then I question whether or not you really know what a committment is. If you claim to be a christian, and you dont find the purpose of your life in Jesus himself... then I question whether or not you really know what a committment is. If you claim to be a christian, but you're not willing to spend just a few minutes a day with God, alone with God, then I question whether or not you know what a committment really is. " "We are all part of the body of Christ... but if you are God's hands... don't offer God just your hands... because God wants all of you to act as his hands... if you're his feet... your whole body must go as his feet. " Romans 6: 16- Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness. There are a lot of things I dont understand, and a lot of people that don't understand me sometimes... but nothing you ever say to me can ever bring me down and nothing I ever say to you should ever bring you down. I might say something derogatory to you... and completely mean it, and if you've known me long enough, I probably have... but if words can throw your world into a disaster... then you'll never be able to climb your way out of some of the holes that this world can dig you into... but the way I think about it... If the complaints and arguments that God puts into our lives bring pain and trauma and complements produce pridefulness, then you'll never find inspiration anywhere. 2 Corinthians 12: 7- To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8- Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9- But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. " Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10- That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 19- Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? We have been speaking in the sight of God as those in Christ; and everything we do, dear friends, is for your strengthening. God can inspire you in so many ways... but if you're not looking to be inspired... you won't be. Even though I have a billion questions that I wish I could ask God about different things in this world... and different people... including myself... I know that one day I wont have anything to worry about... so I'll try to worship God in everything I do now... and maybe I'll get a glimpse of what heaven is like in my own life... But that's who I am... not my life... if you want to know about my life... well: I'm way too busy. I'm in school right now for History education. I know for a fact that I want to be a minister of Christ for my entire life, I think a lot... more than people probably think I think. I don't like to be distracted when I'm focused on something, especially if it's for something pointless. I go to church as much as I can.... Sure, I backslid, and backslide, all the time. I don't really know if I have a distinguishable point in my life when I was saved. I prayed "the sinner's prayer" so many times and probably only meant it once or twice... but looking back, I really don't know when it was that I was truthful to God about seeking him. Since my "gradual salvation" began though, I have tried my hardest to keep my focus on Him. But that's my life. There's probably more... but this is what I've written... so that's all you get for now
