A lesson from my past.



A couple weeks ago at my Wednesday night church we had a big breakthrough for this generation and generations to come. It was great for me because I was able to admit that i once had an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, and that I really never liked my-self till this past year when God healed me from it. That night I got home and I wondered to my self... If God healed me from everything that ailed me.... why then do I not read my bible or pray to him? If I cant serve the God who made me then what am i doing calling my-self a christian? this i assure you was not an attack from the devil.... It was a conviction! I went a few days reading my bible and had a few prayers.... I can't help but think of my Dads sugar packet illustration. there is a flesh side and a spirit side.... I have herd this illustration many a times but it never hit me like today..... I have been feeding my flesh side all my life... and barely feeding my spirit side.... I know how to feed my spirit side.... I just don't....why? I don't know....but that has to change! It will change! My sunrise has come!

It amazes me... the difference in how one feels when they feed the spirit instead of the flesh. It sort of reminds me of the movie, Molly... when her treatments begin to reverse and she explains that she "feels like before".

God gives us some great cues when we're walking in the flesh-- which makes it even simpler to walk in the spirit. All spiritual maturity begins with obedience, so don't let the lies of satan (whether fear or laziness) cause you to disobey and in turn ignore the blessings God is waiting to give you. :) <3

GUESS WHO'S WON

Now that it's on, we're out in the front of this marathon I never really thought we were in such a big fight, until the other night . You see me and my sister share a room and have all but 4 years of my life! And Saturday she had a friend over and so I was in my room alone! I was getting ready for bed and I turned the light off and all of the sudden I felt this feeling that I was not alone in the room like some one was watching me. This wasn’t the first time that it has happened to me before but normally I let it be and try to go to sleep. but this time it was so strong I couldn’t do that! So I thought this is not of God so I said with as much confidence as I could muster IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST GET OUT! And it left. I was fine! War can be ugly. And this one is going to be big! Cause We're on the enemy's hit list. So step back I'm on a one way track, devil To take back all the things that you've stolen. And with the power of God I'm gonna persevere. ...

Gossip

I wrote the poem when I was in my Gossip infested small group at my old church... I didn't like all the drama that went on there... and when I tryed to keep some friends from that group gossip and drama just crept right back into my friendship with them... the only way to get rid of drama and gossip is to surround your-self with Godly friends and not to partake in it... it was hard for me to do this and i still catch my-self doing my share of the gossiping! so read share what you think and yeah so talk to you all later! It spreads like water It burns like an unstoppable fire It goes on and on It hurts like a knife wound It spreads like a weed It goes on and on It messes with your emotions It tears relationships apart It goes on and on It you can never trust It plays with your mind It goes on and on It causes problems It you can never stop It goes on and on It divides groups It is wicked It goes on and on It is all these things and It goes on and on One love One God Only one...

somewhere between the 4th and 8th episode of lost and the 8 pieces of pizza I realized I have an extended family! with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, and grandpas! I have gone 7 years without them and now i have them in the body of Christ...the thing is with the body of Christ we are more connected and more deep then my blood extend family EVER was. and it feels good! Life in the body of Christ, makes me want to be more then just okay! I love my church and everyone in it! and i feel this is where God truly wants me to be! as i turn 17 I look back on the last few years I have had my heart broken by a boy...I have had about 6 or 7 "true" friendships fall apart... and i left the church I had gone to since i was 4! alot has happened yet i was NEVER truly deep down to the soul happy. but i would LOVE to tell you I am now!
