Ramblings

If you choose to believe the Bible, then you have to believe in all of it, you can't just pick and choose what you like out of it. The Bible is God's unfallible truth. It is never changing and can not be compromised. If God's Word changed then what hope would we have in Him? He would be no different than you or I. 

God's Word is clear and there is not any room for interpretation. God is LOVE and He sent His one and only Son to die for a world of sinners all because He loves us. I couldn't let my child die for anyone, there is no one I love enough to give my childs' life for. I would gladly give my life for my child but I wouldn't give my child's life for anyone. Don't get me wrong I have a deep love for many people in my life, but there is just no one on this earth that I would offer to give my child's life for. If He didn't love us then He wouldn't have sent His Son for us... He loves us with an unfathomable love. 

God loves us regardless of who we are, where we have been, what sin we have fallen into or what others think of us. We aren't to condem or be judgemental of others. We are to love them as Christ loves us and has set the example for us... But we also should not condone, nor support a life of sin. The Bible clearly outlines sin for us to know how we, as believers, should and should not act... And Jesus set the perfect example. While none of us can be perfect, we are to imitate Christ and the life that He led, Paul says imitate me as I imitate Christ. None of us will ever reach perfection, but we should live our lives in such a way that we would not be embarassed if Jesus/God were physically present to be where we are. God sees all and knows all, so He is always with us anyways, but how differently would we behave if we could physically see His presence? Would He be weeping over the our actions that we openly do in front of Him or would He tell us, face to face, well done my good and faithful servant?

Just some food for thought... 

My Best Friend... Besides my Jesus and my hubby...

So I just finished reading through my best friends blog... And I have to brag on her for a minute. She has taking such a stand and is turning her life around and I am so proud of her! She went down the road of drugs, alcohol, Atlanta party scene, etc thinking that was the life. No one could tell her no. She had issues of self esteem, a clearly beautiful woman on the inside and out that doubted her self. I wouldn't say any of this publicly had she not said it herself and realized who she truly is. 

She is all of us. She is beautiful. She is God's princess. And God NEVER wants any of His children to feel that way... But that feeling is all too well known amongst today's females. 

I'm proud of her - She is finding herself again and realizing God in her life again and the purpose that He has for her. I pray that everyone out there going through what she has gone through will realize before its too late that God loves them and that there is more to life than what this world has to offer!

I love you RD!! And I am so proud of you!! 

U S of A

So... According to some speeches as of late, republicans, Christians, etc are to be considered terrorists, extremists, etc... And we are not a "Christian Nation?" I thought that this nation was founded on Christian principles, that our money says "In God we Trust" 

I guess we are radicals if we believe the country should be ran the way it was set up to run... Hopefully this four years fly by!!

It is a beautiful day...

And I would LOVE to be outside running or playing with the girls but I am in a cast and on crutches....

I'm kinda in a "funk" right now, I guess you could call it. God has definitely provided all our needs for us but people have really let me down a lot lately. Strangers, family and friends... More so "friends" though. I've had a hard time with knowing who are true friends are lately and who aren't... Not every one of my friends have made me question this but there are a few. I like to think I'm a good friend, and that I try to be there for everyone when they need someone... But why does it seem that friends come and go like the seasons some times? The ones you could count on yesterday you can't even call today?

I'm thankful that our Heavenly Father is not like that. I love that I can count on my Father yesterday, today and tomorrow... And that He never changes. It's such a great thing to have some one who loves me the same and is there for me the same no matter what.
