Tonight, I had a little tussle in Chat, and It was nice to see my friends stick up for me. Jesus was right. No greater love hath a man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) Lord, once again, I thank you for all my friends. I know I don't have a many as I should, but the ones I have, I love them all and would do anything for them, and I know they would do the same for me!

Prayer is a 2 way street. When we pray, we expect God to hear us, but when he answers us, are WE listening?

Lord, once again I ask you to show me your will for my life, and what you want me to do to serve you.

In Sunday School, we read the story of Hannah. She was a woman who was so broken hearted that she couldn't have kids, and her Husband's other wife, who did have kids, never let her forget it. Hannah went to The Temple and prayed like she had never prayed before. God later answered her prayer, and Hannah gave birth to the prophet Samuel. I have prayed like that before. I have spent many an hour in tears praying for my Mom's hand to be healed, and for God to send me someone. But, I know that God does hear my prayers, and if my requests are in His will, they will be done. If not, they won't.

One thing I've learned over the past few days is that it's soooooo hard to leave your problems with God. Most of us think that we can do things on our own, but it ends up blowing up in our faces. If you lay your burdens down at His feet, things will be a lot easier!

There is some truth in that statement " The Lord Works In Mysterious Ways" For example, even though I deeply miss my hometown of Fairfax, VA., I don't think that I would have even started going to Church and gotten saved if I hadn't moved here to this little town in West Virginia. Perhaps taking me out of a place that I was so familiar with was God's way of putting me in an enviroment where I would be more susceptible to Him. Anyway, I'm glad he did!

I didn't want to post the following on this blog, but it's somthing I want to discuss:


Do you all really think that God cares if you're a Republican or Democrat? I personally don't think so! it just gets me mad seeing people using Religion and God in trying to further their political agenda. The Pat Robertsons, Jerry Fallwells, and the George Bushs of the world think that anyone who doesn't believe the way they do, and anyone that isn't a Christian is Scum, and doesn't deserve to live. They think the First Amendment needs to be abolished, and want to replace our form of Government with a Theocracy. But what really gets me is when these "So-Called" Christians said that 9-11 happened because not everyone in the US is a Christian. So, lemme get this straight: God killed 3,000 innocent people just to make some point? I think not! When people of other religions , mainly Islam, see these leaders of our country calling them Scum, no wonder everyone in the Middle East hates us! And when people such as Bin Laden and all his gang hear this, you are just asking for trouble!

I think I have finally come to terms with my Mom's injury, and that her hand will never work again. Why It happend, only God knows. And, I have finally forgiven the lady that caused the accident. After almost 6 years, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted of my shoulders. Thank you Lord, for helping me to find some finality and Peace!

I have some news that has really gotten me excited! I have joined a new Sunday School class in my church. It's tought by my preacher, and it's geard toward people in my age group. Before that, I was in one that was mostly old(er) folks, including my Dad. I like the class because I feel more comfortable discussing things with people my age. With all my problems, It helps having people who know what you're going through.
