In Sunday School today, we talked about forgiveness. This is not my strong suit! I've told you all about all the things I've been through in my life, and this is really giving me problems. Some days, I'm Ok with it, and can forgive those people from school who picked on me, and some days, I just wanna kill em. I know deep down that I need to forgive, and Lord, I pray that you'll help me, because I know that you can't do the things with me that you want to do if I can't forgive.

Lord, as Hannah prayed so fervently for a Son all those years ago , right now, with everything I have, I pray that you would guide me to the Woman you've made for me. I don't know how much longer I can take the lonliness. I know that it will only happen in your time, but I pray that you will take my feelings into consieration.

Prayer is the most powerful tool in the life of a Christian! How can you really worship God without talking and listening to him? You might not get the answer you seek right then and there, but beleive me my friends, God does hear your prayers, and he will answer them in his time, if you come to him with a sincere heart!

Our Revival services this week were awesome!!!! The guy who was our speaker was only 24 years old, but his knowlege seemed to be that of someone twice his age! You could tell that God was really with him! I really got a lot out of it! I feel like I'm out of the spiritual slump that I was talking about it the previous post.

Tomorrow, we begin our yearly Revival Services at Church. I know I'm gonna be there every evening, because I feel like I'm in a spiritual slump of sorts, and I pray that I can get something out of this to restore the spark!

Never Forget, the Lord doesn't give us more then we can handle!

Today we celebrate the Ressurection of Our Lord! I can only imagine what the ladies who went to the tomb that morning, found the stone rolled away, and Jesus not there were thinking! He had told them that he would be back, but I don't know if they actually understood what He meant. Anyway, without the Ressurection, where would we be?

Lord, I pray that you will take care of my friend Kat, she is going through very tough times. I know she says she's OK, but deep down inside, she has to be hurting, so please watch over her.

A couple of days ago, while I was out, my Parents watched The Passion Of The Christ on video. I got home to see the last few minutes of it. It just makes me cry thinking about how much Jesus suffered for me and all of us!

They say the way to conquer your fears is to face them head on, and with God's help, I am going to od that when it comes to beating my shyness. I cannot keep hiding any more! For all my 35 years, I've let what people say and think about me and my weight dictate my life, but no more! There are probably millions of frienships I've missed out on, and maybe I'd probably be married by now, if I hadn't let the actions of a few cloud my opinions of the many. So here I come life! Thank you Lord for helping me get through this!

I have some good news. I might be going on a trip this Summer! Our Church is planning to take a trip to Ligonier, PA in July to help the church and community there. For those who say I need to get out more, there we go! Hopefully things will go as planned. Even though I'm shy, I try to do everything to get the word out about Jesus.

The Things Which Are Impossible With Man Are Possible With God.

IT’S UP TO YOU

It’s not what happens to you that can make your life or break it.
The thing that really matters is the way you choose to take it.

You can feel sad about what has happened and say life’s not worth the living,
Or find some place that needs the love and help you could be giving.

You can crawl into a shell, and reach a state of deep depression,
Or count the many blessings you still have in your possession.

You can say that life’s not fair, and that you simply cannot bear it,
Or seek what’s good in life, and find a way that you can share it.

No, it’s not what happens that decides the winning or the losing.
It’s how you take it -- and you’ll find it’s strictly your own choosing

Last Sunday in Sunday School, we talked about how we have been wonderfully created by God. No matter how fat, thin, beautiful or ordinary looking we are, all people are worth loving, and those who think they are worthless need to seek God's guidance to learn that there lives really matter! I used to think that way because of my weight, but I don't anymore.

Here's My Church

After several years of pain, I have finally figured out why the Jesus said that you must forgive. Grudges, and the need for revenge do nothing except drag you down. For me, all the things that i've been through the past few years made me physically ill, but after plenty of prayer and thinking "the past is the past, nothing you can do about it, except get on with life" I have forgiven the kids that picked on me in school and the lady that got my Mom hurt, and I feel %100 better. I wish I could have done this a long time ago, because I can only imagine the life I've wasted feeling sorry for myself!

These past few weeks, I've learned a lot. First off, I've learned my own weaknesses. Yes, I do get down on myself a lot! I'm trying, with God's help, to have a more positive outlook. Second, just because someone criticizes you, it doesn't mean they're picking on you. And finally, but most importantly, When you're down and just about ready to give up, God will be there for you, even if no one else is!

How do you read your Bible? Everyone seems to have a different method. Me, I usually pick on book, and try to read 2 or 3 chapters a night till I finish the book.
