Inner workings of a stay at home mom.

Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. - Babe Ruth I saw this quote in a movie awhile ago and it never hit me till now but this has to do with the christian walk...think about it... all to many times I'm am afraid to go to talk to someone because I am afraid of them thinking I'm a crazy person... or to talk to a friend about this disipleship movement cause I'm afraid they wont be my friend any more... fear grips us all at one time or another... we must replace that fear with the word of God that will help us go talk to that person about Jesus or that person about the discipleship movement... you must surround yourself with people who are doing so... remodels if you will (in the discipleship movement we call the disciplers) they not only teach you how not to be afraid but they teach you how to walk in the Spirit... and to make sure you are knowing and doing your Spirital disciplines... being in a displeship relationship is VERY improtant.I would n...

How Beautiful a shimmer of light in a sea of darkness How beautiful a child's laugh in a field of screams How beautiful a song a trust in a world of doubt how beautiful a man of faith in a place of death how beautiful an act of love for a world of hate how beautiful

I was sitting on my back deck star gazing when I felt someone sit next to me. now there was no one there...well no one you could see. You know those thoughts you get that you know aren't yours but God talking to you..yeah i had one right then the conversation went kinda like this... "thought"-"aren't they Beautiful? I made them" me- "yeah there amazing... why did you make them?" "thought"- "I made them for you Amy" me- tears hehehe... as I sat there with this presence I had this poem come to mind! How Beautiful a shimmer of light in a sea of darkness How beautiful a child's laugh in a field of screams How beautiful a song a trust in a world of doubt how beautiful a man of faith in a place of death how beautiful an act of love for a world of hate how beautiful

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! God has given me the best family a girl could ask for and great church family too... I am SO lucky you guys should just start calling me lucky! ~AEG~

last night was the best church meeting in a long time!it showed me what i needed to work on and what i needed to get over! well not really get over... a friend hurt me and well we aren't friends anymore and i have always wondered "what did I do?" the answer is nothing! besides stand up for my self... anyway God took her out of my life cause i didn't need her... a couple months prior to us ending our friendship I asked God to show me what was keeping me from him..or to just take it away! and well after taking it away and a couple months later I found out she was the last bit i was holding onto..we were such good friends that i didn't want to give her up... so as God has done in the past he took it by force... she was the last straw of the package that was my old church and He knew the straw was my favorite straw and as my parent He took it from me before i went and played...I guess what I'm trying to say is even though you may think someone is good for you the...

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. ...

this poem was sorta a journal entry, but i was reading it and it sounded more like a poem! To give you a background I had a best friend of 3 years. and it had always been a her dumping her problems on me and never caring about my problems. well after a couple of events that I couldn't stay quiet anymore about I confronted her about it and all I got was her telling me I'm to emotional and that I needed to get over it! so i wrote this poem/entry! Shouts from the phone screams of who you are and who I'm not tears I cry mean nothing to you I raise my voice Louder and louder still your words cut me like the knife you put in my back. tell me what you think One love One God Only one way Amy E.
