"too close for comfort"

so i haven't written in a while but i felt led to get on and write about this particular subject

I will start off by telling a short story my fiance josh shared with me.
There was a young boy who was welcomed into the kings palace but the king handed the boy a spoon full of oil and told him to walk around the palace, when the boy got back the king asked what he thought, and the boy replied "I was so concentrated on not spilling the oil, i did not see the palace at all"
The king told him to try it one more time but to open his eyes and look around.
The boy got back so excited and loved everything he saw but the oil was no longer in the spoon.

The point is, you should make sure the things right in front of you ARE taken care of, but dont get so caught up in that, that you dont see the big picture around you of your beautiful palace. There IS a happy medium.

take a picture frame that is bigger than your face and hold it to your nose, how much of that picture do you see? Now take it and hold it out in front of you, isnt the full picture so much better than that little glimps that you had before?

the truth is sometimes God DOESNT show us the full picture, sometimes HE only wants us to see a glimps, but are you so wrapped up around the glimps he gave you that you forget about the blue sky, the white snow, the friends Hes brought in your life, the blessings Hes given you?.....i have!

My best lessons are written out of experience. You live and you learn and as God opened my eyes I want to open yours

Maybe some of you have friends that have hurt you, family members, co workers, students, maybe you know some one who does drugs, drinks alchol, parties. Now think of how you treat that person, do you act holier than thou? or do you welcome them in showing them the light of Jesus the one who died for our sins, the all forgiving, all loving Lord and Savior? Do we stick our noses up, disaprove of everything they do, judge them and then dismiss them from our lives? WHY??? why do that???? dont hate the sinner hate the sin! I dont agree with the choices and i wont participate with them and i dont "dwell with fools" but i dont shun them off, i welcome them, i try to be an example, of our loving Jesus. Have you tried to tell these people about Jesus? and if they already know Him then God will be the one to judge NOT us.

I went to a conference recently, where adam mccain showed us a video, some of you may know him penn the migician, one of the biggest athiests, publically known. well he did a blog and stated "how much do you have to HATE some one not to tell them about heaven and hell" if we believe some one could go to hell and BURN FOR ETERNAL LIFE HOW CAN WE NOTTTT TELL PEOPLE if WE could change ONE life through Jesus Christ to get them to eternal life, dont you think its worth it????

psalms 40:1

Lord, I'm waiting patiently, help me,
hear my cries, you are my heart beat
Lord, I'm waiting patiently, hear me,
wipe my eyes, You're in the drivers seat

Sometimes its a little hard at home
friends aren't always there and I feel alone
Trying so hard not to look back
and now I'm standing still,
afriad of getting off track

I'm so sick of arguments
Running through my head,
it's torment
The words that spill out, pour into my ears
And I can't handle these nights full of tears
and no matter what I say
These conditions stay the same


Lord, I'm waiting patiently, help me,
hear my cries, you are my heart beat
Lord, I'm waiting patiently, hear me,
wipe my eyes, You're in the drivers seat

Thrown around all over the place
And still I don't recognize my own face
I over please to get their affection
But all I get is a little bit attention

I can't do this by myself
Lord please, I just need your help
There's no way I can do this by myself
I give it up to you I need your help

Lord, I'm waiting patiently, help me,
hear my cries, you are my heart beat
Lord, I'm waiting patiently, hear me,
wipe my eyes, You're in the drivers seat
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.
I waited patiently for the Lord to hear me, and he turned to me and wiped my eyes

peer pressure

Dress me up, do my hair
pick out my make up, I don't care
tell me where to walk
tell me when to talk
we all dress the same
we all feel the same
but I just want to be different
can't I just be different?


wont you accept me?
wont you let me, just be me
I wanna laugh too
I'm coming out, I don't want to be you

I need you Jesus
Tell me where to walk
Tell me when to talk
Be with me in my every step
All this non-sense I'm going to shed
coming out of my shell
I choose heaven over hell

Put the cigarette in my mouth
stash the alcohol at my house
I just want to fit in
I'll do what it takes to get in
Being some one else, makes it harder to live
I'll take the blade and cut my wrist
We all look the same
we all act the same
but i'm different
I know I'm different

Jesus save me
this is not me
Help me build my faith again
I need you to be my friend again
Time after time that I fell
I still choose heaven over hell

friend or foe??

so I talked about bad influences, and I forgot to mention something very important, that I, myself have experienced. So you took the influence test and your friends seemed to have passed, they are most likely friends who seem to be good influences, that don't curse or follow the world, but how do they treat you??? Are they the type of friend that you seem to always have to bring up, the type of friend that always says "ohhh i look so baddd" just to get a compliment out of you? or ALWAYS seems to be in some sort of dramatic situation with all their other friends and most likely you every now and again? I've noticed this in some people and also have been stuck in these situation or have been THAT type of friend. ITS AWEFUL GET YOURSELF OUT OF THAT FRIENDSHIP! they don't build you up, they emotionally drain and stress you! They aren't their for you when you need them but always seem to call you when THEY need help. Or how about how draining it gets to compliment every little thing they do JUST so they don't get upset with you or mad at you because they seem to get mad at everything and anything you say. they say things like "i didnt do anything why are you being mean???" (just because at that second you wanted to be lifted up rather than lifting them up) or "why do you always give me attitude??" when you KNOW you haven't done anything. or if every 5 seconds they say "are you getting annoyed with me" it an attention strive that "high" looking for. maybe they didn't get it as kids so don't be harsh on them when they act this way, just get out of that friendship. You will emotionally burn out and see negative changes in yourself, most likely not as happy as usual. Christian, or not, people still try to take advantage of people. and if you notice these qualities in your friends it may be time to find some better, more uplifting friends that will help you grow spiritually. Try to be a mentor to those friends who have lost their way, but certainly dont stress over making sure they feel good when they never spend time on you. Oh and one last thing, if you notice you do thise, you try to get attention or get comments out of your friends 24/7 or always seem to be in a fight with some one or always have drama going on, or if people just dont seem to want to be around you that much, it may be YOU not them so take a step back and take a quick personality check, ive had to do this many times, and maybe you didnt start that way but eventually grow into this person, make sure you try your best to do what Jesus would, it wont change over night but God sees the effort. I just thought I'd add that into the friends subject.
love you guys

DON'T YOU KNOW, YOUR FUTURE IS IN WHO YOU'RE HANGING OUT WITH?!

"Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces." Proverbs 13:20(message)
Have you ever noticed being in school with people who curse or do drugs or drink, you get this fleshy feeling, like it seems enticing, or something you want to do, or even in church or with your regular day to day friends that aren't walking the right path of Christ and you know it but you still stick around them. EVEN THE BIBLE SAYS YOU WILL WATCH YOUR LIFE FALL TO PIECES IF YOU HANG OUT WITH FOOLS!! It can be hard finding christian friends in school, in homeschool classes, in church, in your every day to day life, but you NEED to or your life will fall apart right before your very eyes. This is a subject I just want to stress to teenagers so badly. Peer pressure and temptations come so easily so why up your chances of falling by hanging out with people who are not uplifting and examples of Christ. I've watched friends worship God and love Him with their lives, then get caught up in the wrong crowd and stop jumping during worship services, then slowly stop bringing their Bible and notebooks, stop tithing, and eventually not even go to church and completely turn their backs on God. If this is you and you have no idea why turn and look to who is by your side, is it friends that don't worship and love God the way they should. Who would you rather be by your side, wishy washy temporary friends who will turn their backs the moment they get the chance or GOD THE ONE WHO WAS THE SAME YESTERDAY AS HE IS TODAY AND THE DAYS TO COME, HE WILL NEVER CHANGE, He will NEVER turn HIS back He is ALWAYS there waiting for you.Hebrews 13:8-"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever!" read that very carefully. and if you are some one who has just started hanging out with people who don't have the characteristics f some one of Christ get out fast! It's okay to tell them about Jesus and be a mentor to them but to hang with them and be around them all the time you will soon notice changes in you, trying to become friends with people who do not love Jesus with all their hearts and walk the right path, to try and get them to love Jesus is just like if a clean kid went outside to play with a dirty kid in mudd to try and rub off his cleanliness to the dirty kid but instead you know that the once clean kid also becomes dirty, you can't throw soap into mudd and clean the mudd, the soap becomes dirty, but with clean pure water (aka Jesus) you can wash away the dirt and become clean and new again. I really hope you understand the importance of finding friends of Godly wisdom, I have too made the mistake of having the accompany of the wrong crowd, and I have experienced how much you change just by who you hang out with. It could start by listening to different music, instead of worship cd's or KLOVE (101.3) or Air1 (107.3) you start listening to 107.9 or take baby steps and start listening to 93Q just to fit in, then you dress differently, your attitude changes, your relationship with your family changes, your heart isn't as open as it once was, your ears don't hear Gods voice as well, you aren't as happy, you stop bringing your Bible to church, maybe even eventually stop going to church, but hopefully you read this or some one in your church gets to you before you learn the hard way. because God is so great!!! He loves you with all his heart and want YOU to be His and have your heart set on HIM. He died for YOU!!!! I hope if you notice a friend going through this situation or if you're going through this, I really hope this helped
God Bless

THE SURPISE ISSSS

JOSH PROPOSEDDDD!!! Im so very excited!! it was his 21st birthday =D if you want to see the story of how we met or how he proposed go to www.joshandcassieswedding.blogspot.com THis is such an exciting time in my life. Im starting an amazing job in a doctors office and getting married to the most amazing spirit filled God lead man. Nannying has been CRAZY lately my 7am-9pm hours this week have really done a toll on me and my body. So that was my exciting news!!! Now time to plan the engagement partayyy =D

busy busy

Hey everyone I havent written in a very very long while!!!! I GOT A JOB I am now a full time nanny mon-fri 7 a.m to 6 p.m with the occasional 930 pm so i have been quite busy as you can see =). I havent too much to say, I am up visiting josh's parents with him =) GOD has been great as always, doing things that surprise me more and more daily. My mom has been so amazing as well!!! i havent been home as much with working and all and i feel like i havent been able to hang out with her as much so i just wanted to say a shout out to my amazing mom who has trained me up to be the person GOD has called me to be and Im quite excited to see where He is now leading me. I have exciting news to share but i have to hold it in for now and keep it quiet for a bit but i will keep you updated =)
write more later

Im under construction by GOD

So I haven't written in a week maybe or so I'm not quite sure. CRAZY days I went tubing today with josh and it was sooo much fun, and tomorrow is superbowl!!! i have no idea who is playing or what ever im just pumped for the tons of food, the great friends, and the cool commercials haha but any ways, God has been doing a lot of construction work on me lately and its so great! I feel like my whole attitude towards things and approach to things has completely flip flopped around. When you look at life what do you think of? how is your life? would you say its great and if you died tomorrow that there'd be nothing youd have to finish between you and some one. I dont know, ive just been thinking a lot and realized how stupid it is to argue and stress and waste USEFULL energy on something simple that will never resolve anything, like if something is spilt or ruined or some one forgets something or anything like that...dont worry about it, as josh would say "its all good" who cares about spilt milk ITS JUST MATERIAL THINGS would you really let something so small ruin your day, cause you stress which causes health issues and PIMPLES haha seriously its not worth it at all to potentially gradually ruin a relationship between you and some one by always complaning and arguing over stupid little things! I tend to be pretty stubborn sometimes and i get it from my dad =) i like to be right, but im not completely hard headed about it and i realized i stupid little argument i was having the other day and it was just like whyyyy are we arguing right now and about what? it was something completely stupid im sure but i have just been keeping this smile on my face and really trying not to respond to some one with a sour attitude and do things for people with joy
so i guess that is my little advice for the day BE HAPPY AND DONT WORRY let GOD do construction in your life and on your tongue but he must start in your heart (theres scriptures for this but i only had 3 hours of sleep last night so let me get back to you =)
goood night to all!

Battle cry video

my church recently showed this in a service and it gives me chills every time!!

Jesus music!

Created to be his help meet

So Jenn (an amazing woman of God that I met at basic-brothers and sisters in Christ her and her husband eric actually run the whole basic thing up at college and what they do is amazing but anyways Jenn showed me this book called Created to be his help meet by Debi Pearl and I really suggest that every woman read this! it talks about what the bible says biblically of how to be a great wife and i just started reading it today and am already on chapter 5 and plan on reading more after i get off here but i had to get on to just let you all know what a great book it is and how much it opens your eyes to things whether you arent married or are and everything is all good or everything is really bad, its a great book for all woman. so check it out!!!

FEED YOUR FIRE

okay so i was having a conversation with a friend and he was telling me how he misses his fire for God that he had and and he feels like hes drifted a little and then later on in the conversation we were talking about reading the bible and he said that he should start reading the word again.....so my analogy is that when you build a fire you start of with sparks which lead to bigger and bigger flames but what do you have to do to get that fire to grow? you have to feed it and if you dont it will die down! Same with God, if you go to a conference and get pumped up and on fire for God and so excited then you leave and you keep reading your bible and getting into the word (which is the christians spirits food) and you feed that fire till its burning so high and strong for Jesus and you stay connected in worship and praying,and evangelizing and then you start to get "busy" so you read a little less and your fire starts to burn a little less until youve neglected it and forgotten to feed that fire enough to continue burning as much as it was. So then you get stuck at this point in life where you miss that fire for God and you want it so badly but you arent going to right away get that burning that you had, you have to start the sparks and continue feeding it with the word in order to get to that high point in your life again!
just wanted to write all this before bed and hopefully continue with it tomorrow =)
goodnight all

LOVE

1 Corinthians 13:4- 8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is NOT easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE NEVER FAILS....

These are really powerful scriptures! If you read before that it talks about if you do not love but have all the faith or give away to the poor or anything like that, you are nothing. Love is so powerful! Go through this list of things in 1 corinthians again and ask yourself, are you patient? are you kind? do you envy or boast or are you proud? etc. Ihave to continuously come back to these verses to remind myself of these things. it really is not easy. I would suggest this to you and to me to memorize these scriptures write them on your notebooks, write them on a paper and post it on your wall, post them on your mirror, put it where ever it can encourage you and remind you each day to live like this, continuously make a list of ways to improve your walk with God and to love like you should. Hate the sin but love the sinner! While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.—Romans 5:8, NIV we have ALL fallen short do not judge people if you think they are not walking their life the right way but pray for them because that is Gods territory to deal with not yours.

Luke 6:41-42
"And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye."

It's not always easy to love EVERY ONE to be nice and caring and kind to every one as the bible says, there is no way i would want to sit and be walked all over by some one being rude or hurtful and just let it happen with a smile on my face. I thought that, that was ridiculous when i heard that. There was no way i'd be able to do that...BUT GOD =) (A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. Prov. 15:1) He worked with me and showed me how great it is and how awesome it feels to just let it go and give it all to him to deal with do not try and take on some one with harsh words bu let God work through them as well because we have all fallen short and at one point or another there was some one who could have very well judged us or even now we all have things that arent completely right in our lives, but they didn't! and those who did have their own stuff to deal with GOD!
Luke 6:27
"But i tell you who hear me: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If some one strikes you on one cheak, turn to him the other also."

Luke 6:37
"Do NOT judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven."

JESUSSSSS!!!!

The Uncomfort Zone!

So i looked up the definition to comfort zone and this is what it said "an environment or situation in which a person feels secure or at ease; also figuratively, an established lifestyle in which a person feels comfortable as long as there is no drastic change" I am HUGE on going outside of my comfort zone, ive been told i dont have a comfort zone haha but really now, when was the last time you did something fun and spontaneous that you usually wouldnt do, or when was the last time you didnt tell some one about Jesus that you felt lead to, because of your comfort zone. Truth is they are more afraid of you, than you are of them haha and the worst that will happen is they will reject you and be like what ever but at least you planted the seed! would you want to be the reason for some one going to hell? Because that day you were with your friends trying to be "cool" and you saw that girl or that person sitting there alone and you could tell they werent in a good place in their life and they just needed a little bit of hope, just that little shove and every thing would be alright, just to know some one cares about them! I LOVE seeing people go outside their comfort zone and just do something crazy! Talk to a random stranger about Jesus and end up talking for hours or just seconds, or randomly dancing to a slow song in the middle of a restraunt (JOSH YOU STILL NEED TO!) haha long story but any ways its so fun, now im not a hipocrit, im not sitting here saying GO OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE as if it was easy or something because yeah i have a comfort zone! you dont think im shaking in my knees and vomitting in my mouth before i talk to some random person (okay its not that bad but at first it was!) one huge thing of mine is singing! i LOOOOVE to sing....when no one can hear me haha and i think im pretty darn good at it when i put my all into it when its no one but me and Jesus! But when i sing in front of people i get nervous and start to sound AWFUL! I dont like to sing in front of people at all but i get sooo into it during praise and worship and i just absalutely love it so just recently i am now on the new heart ministries worship team and i had practice today (not completely comfortable with it yet) and i did noooot do that great i was just like ohh nooo and made a ton of excuses im sure, like i just dont like this song and stupid things like that cause i was freaking scared!! but i love singing and i dont know why i get so scared doing it in front of people cause im a huge people person but its just something i never really did in front of people so im excited to see how this weekend turns out when im up there singing =) PRAY FOR ME!! but i guess it was time that i completely got out of my comfort zone in every aspect of my life. and now i am just rambling on about my life experiences haha but i really think you should go outside your comfort zone and just start out by doing little things cause 9 out of 10 chances youll never see those people again and you'd probably make a HUGE difference in their life, i usually have tons more to say about this subject but i think ill leave it at this =) ill save the good stuff for when im up preaching =D

But God!

Ever hear things like "I have to pay my bills but......i have no money" or "I am healed in Jesus name....but it still hurts" or "I would but...." but but but but but! well most or all of us have said something along those lines at least once. I'm really not the type of person that likes complainers right after prayer over something! I catch myself saying it sometimes. I believe in confessing things into your life and if you are always confessing that you are still ill or you have no money or you need something that you "know" you can't get, then chances are you wont have the money, you will still be sick, and you'll never have that need met. What about "But God" I have to pay my bills...BUT GOD! There is nothing greater than Gods love for you and the power of confession!! ("You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord." Jeremiah 29:13-14) I don't care how BIG or small the problem may be it will NEVER be bigger than GOD or too small for God. Nothing is ever "overlooked" Just keep confessing things into your life like that car that your family really needs or that healing in your back or your knee or your heart if you know what I mean. God listens he is ALWAYS there for you and if you just reach out and call on him in time of need instead of the pitty of the world then you wont have anything to complain about or worry about. Our God is a GREAT God and some times you may think you can't be heard through all that noise going on in your life but truth is are you listening to him? are you stopping to just listen?

Promises for students

Well I went job searching yesterday and I'll most likely be working at kinney drugs while i take this semester off of college to save up some money. So I got this little thing from my church and it's to students to help them out and gives scriptures you might need so I thought I'd post it =)

When you need guidence... "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6
When God doesn't seem real to you... "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord." Jeremiah 29:13-14
When you face conflict... "Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless for to this you were called that you may obtain a blessing." 1 Peter 3:8-9

Beauty

I love teaching young girls about what beauty means in Gods eyes and how you should look at yourself as being a young christian girl. I think every one should know what God thinks about his creations and I've always thought how can you say you love God the one who created you, when you don't love yourself, you were created in HIS image ("So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."-Genesis 1:27) I've dealt with a lot of girls with self confidence issues and that's very common in this generation with all the tv and magazines and so called "role models" that these young girls have now and i thought they should know who their real role model is. I looked up the definition to beauty and this is one of the definitions i got "a beautiful thing, as a work of art or a building." If you think about it, we are Gods art he created us, He spent his time with us, He built us from scratch exactly the way he wanted us! ("All beautiful you are my darling, there is no flaw in you" song of songs 4:7) When God calls you beautiful GOD the one who created this whole earth KNOWS that YOU are beautiful is just so awesome to know. It doesn't matter what that boy thinks of you or any girl who may say other wise, most likely she is probably jealous or has her own insecure issues. You never know what she grew up with either, she may have been picked on her whole life by her parents or others causing her to react and see something in you that she doesn't have so she stands on her defense and picks at your clothes or some little thing that makes no sense. I guess no matter what you do keep your mind open and stay optomistic! I think the best place to look for what kind of woman you should strive to be is all of proverbs 31! I'm a little tired right now and have much much more to say but I'll continue it another time this was just a helpful, get upper for you to read haha

AHH SICK

So I was really sick yesterday which was kind of upsetting because I was supposed to take my drivers test to finally get my license! but shout outs to my amazing mom who took care of me all day LOVE YOU MOM and my amazing boyfriend who came to visit me =) just thought I'd add that in there!

So i wrote this poem/song and it's extremely long and it was inspired to me by an old friend and i hope that it might inspire you =) so here it is...........
She's at the club, had a little too much to drink
She hears a voice but it just doesn't seem to sink
Laughing having a good time "it's just a little fun"
She stumbles and grabs the keys when her last drink is done
And as they watch her go, throw her life away
She stumbles one last time before she drives away
the edge of the road never looked so far in sight
Has those lights always been that bright
a swerve and a honk a crash a squeel
she loses control of the car stearing wheel

Where have you been, where are you going
So disattatched, your heart is slowing
But I'm still here, watching over you
and I will never leave no matter what you do
reaching down, just grab my hand
get on your feet i will help you stand

He's broken and bruised from the inside out
The hands that hurt and the words that shout
Tries so hard to get rid of all the pain
left on his sleeves are blood stains
Scars that will never dissapear
one last cut one more tear
Finally decides to end it all
writes a letter before his last fall
death is waiting at his door
now he wont feel the pain any more

where have you been, where are you goings
o disattatched, your heart is slowing
But im still here watching over you
and i will never leave no matter what you do
reaching down, just grab my hand
Get on your feet i will help you to stand

She's so thin, she's gonna break
The rumors, she never overcame
They have no idea what she's going through
still they pick fun of everything she'd do
Insecure, she finally reacts to how she feels
Runs to the bathroom after every meal
Her daddy left never loved never cared
Gotta be strong for the momma who is scared
One more bathroom trip her head sinks in
Fallen to the floor she whispers "how did this happen"

Where have you been where are you going
So disattatched, your heart is slowing
I'm still here watching over you
I'm never leaving no matter what you do
I'm reaching down grab my hand
Get on your feet I'll help you stand

He's got a secret addiction
Can't shut off the television
The lust that fills through his veins
Held down by these chains
Actions he wouldn't usually do
He knows whats falling through
Got the girl, shut the door, they're getting close
She has respect for herself unlike most
That's just not enough for him right now
what happens next, he's going down

Where have you been where are you going
So disattatched your heart is slowing
im still here watching over you
I'm never leaving no matter what you do
Im reaching down grab my hand
Get to your feet ill help you stand

Who cares, nobody cares, just pokes fun
Till they had enough, so they brought a gun
what about the girl who never eats, the boy and his blade
The one whos had to much to drink, and the problems never fade
When will you care about that girl who is abused
the one without a daddy, or the boy who always "used"
ever wonder why they do the things they do
ever take the time to put together the clues
The girl they call the slut, do you know what really goes on in the end
Have you ever figured out why she needs the attetion from those men
the boy whos gay or the annoying girl that wont leave you alone
Ever tell them about Jesus? ever step out of your comfort zone
Don't they deserve the chance to live life too
Does God not care about them as much as he does you
Psalm 139:1-24

Risen?

I originally wanted my blog to be risen.blogspot.com and noticed it was taken, no big deal but when i chose risen I was referring to God and I was curious as to what this person has chosen that for so I chose to visit his blog. The first thing I saw on there was "be careful how you treat her, she's another mans wife" that made me think a little, is he with a woman who is cheating but then I read a few things he had written about God and such and realized what he meant by that. What ever guy or girl you decide to "court" or "date" you have to remember this may not be the person you will marry this is some one else's husband or wife. Don't be stubborn and think "were gonna get married any ways so why not" because you really never know and even if that is the case then GREAT better the reason to wait and treat that person right. Also you have to remember your body is Gods holy temple ("Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (which the holy spirit is Jesus) who is in you, whom you have received from God" 1 Cor. 6:19), Jesus lives in you so what you do to yourself or allow to happen, you do to Jesus, just as what you don't do for others like the person who just wanted a dollar to make a phone call or the girl who just needed some one to talk to for a little bit of guidence or anything along those lines, you didn't do for Jesus by not helping his people. I could get really into this and start preaching but since this is my first post I'll just keep it as an insite =) hope you enjoy my blog.
