I was reading today (a lot), and started to think about living for Jesus. there is a lot of times in my life that i have met people who say they are living for God so i was just wondering what they do in order to do that...
do they live a holy life?
do they grow closer and closer to Jesus everyday?
do they pray, not just everyday but every minute of every day?
do they read and study their bibles?
do they live a life of worship to Jesus?
these are just some questions that were flying through my mind...
I was in really deep thought last night (which makes James theory correct, he thinks my mind only starts thinking deeply at night lol) and a couple of people have mentioned to me that they think I'm really an extreme christian. And it got me thinking because i look at my self and i don't see it...I always see myself as someone who could be better. I never want to get to one stage of my life and think "OK, I'm finally there, I'm extreme" because once we think that we are there, we stop growing closer to Jesus. because we say to ourselves we don't need to pray again today, or read our bibles etc. then before we know it we are not hearing God's voice.
So it gets me back to the start of this blog, we all need to be trying to get better and better with Jesus, live a holy life, free of sin. None of this, oh ill stop the party theme but still gossip with my best friend, or ill stop drinking but ill still dirty dance etc
That's silly, you might as well say that you'll buy the t-shirt minis the material...you'll get no where. So before people think God's not talking to me or He's not telling me anything lets first look at our lives and see where WE need to change it. Then repent for our sins and be holy.
DO IT!!! Live your WHOLE life for Jesus and stop SINNING!!!

Im Back
Well I'm back again...And a new woman, lol now I'm married and loving the blessing from God.
If anyone at all it reading this then it would be great if you could pray for James and I as we are struggling with money ATM. But other then that everything is great xoxoxoxox
Anyways....
Today as I was reading Kings, it really hit me of the amount of people who turn away from God. You all prob know this already (but sometimes I'm a bit slow). But God gives a command and we turn away from it. How many of our friends or family members we try to get them closer to Jesus but they go back to the big PARTY LIFE.
Now I'm not saying parties are bad/evil lol but the party life is...getting drunk, dirty dancing, smoking, drugs, sex....These are in my book a bad thing. So does that mean that we as Christians not showing that having a relationship with Jesus is fun?
When I was in my party days i thought being a christian was SO boring, there was nothing fun about it...But now I cant think of anything better. Was it that my youth leaders in the day weren't spirit filled to an extent that I would have thought differently about my faith back then?
What are we showing none Christians, that we seem boring to them.
Its so not right!!!as followers of Jesus Christ we can in Jesus Name cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead, make the blind see. God can use us to do these amazing stuff.
I don't know about u but I'm excited!!!

Been ages
So sorry guys, its taken me forever to write this next blog. I can use the Internet at home, so I'm always doing stuff when i come to James place lol.
But all is good, Connections was so much fun.
I got alot out of it. I also saw a vision of Jesus.....let me tell ya.
Well on the first night the alter was in a shape of a cross. And at the alter call i went down the front....as i was praying i opened my eyes and i saw Jesus laying on the alter, just as he was when he was on the cross.
And He looked at me with tears rolling down his face because of all the people there was praying to him down there etc.
And another one.......
I was feeling away from God and as i was giving my all to him and asking for forgiveness i was praying on my knees.
I saw Jesus come to me and hug me.
He helped me to accept the fact that He has forgiven me and i need to understand that he has.
Anyways love ya all

School
Cert 2 today was so much fun!!!
One of my friends got saved, and it was so good how Jesus came into his life.
I have been talking to him about my faith for so long and today as we were talking, he saw Jesus face in the sky.
He look straight at me with a pale face and said "i just saw something"
I told him how Jesus is knocking at his heart and wanting to come in.
Then he said the sinners prayer and felt a difference.
The thing that makes this funny is that Jesus showed himself to my friend. And we were in class, and our conversation was writing notes to each other.
He is going to be such a powerful man of God.
Guys keep up praying cos there are 4 more people in the class to get saved. love u all.

Pray
Sorry it took so long...I cant ever use the computer at my house cos its so slow lol
I always have to wait till i have a spare moment at James place lol
Anyways...
My Job is so good. I decided to go with the one in Northcote. And I'm having a blast. its so much fun because I'm meeting new people all the time. And some are rude but most are great people. i try my very best to spread the message of God to each of them, so I ask you all to pray for me. pray that's god give me the strength and courage i need to step out in faith and have the wisdom to spread His wonderful word.
I nearly have this guy in my cert 2 class saved. I can see God stirring inside of him and its going to be great once God explodes and he believes.
SO PRAY!!!
I started thinking and the cert 2 in community services that i am doing isn't for me at all. i thought i would get an insight of ways to help people but this is more of a start to figure out what cert 3 you would like to do lol. But i really believe that the only reason that i am there is for God to touch each and everyone of my classmates and teachers. So I'm excited that he choose me to do his work. I mean how exciting is that, we are Hos people and He is using each and everyone of us to do His work. I don't know about you but that's great news to me.
My boyfriend James is a great man of God. God has used him in so many ways and James is always hungry fr more. Check out his blog in the links.
Guys be open to God and be willing to do whatever he wants you to. Don't store up treasures on earth but in heaven. Live for Christ!!!

Family
Well today is going to be my first day on the job...YAY I'm so excited.
The other salon...i went in and didn't feel "at home" there so i didn't do anything.
But i wanted to talk about how good God has been to me, because in the bible it tells us to talk about our blessings to one another.
I started looking back on my past and remembering all the pain, suffering, laughs, anger, excitement, joy, etc. God has been so good to me to bless me with a wonderful family ( and don't think I'm trying to suck up to them because none of them read my blog lol). A family that even at times I'm guessing they are just counting down the days till i move out lol, but they have been wonderful to me. Not like we don't have arguments, but we have formed a strong bond between each other.
When Dad left us, my mum, sis, bro were so upset but me i don't even remember getting upset. And i remember thinking that i must not have had a heart because i just kept going on with my life. But looking back i see how God used that time to build me up to be the second parent. And that's what i have been for my whole life really, when i was round 7, i had to be able to do housework, cook,clean and not because mum was making me but dad was. He would always say to me "Sarah do this for mum" but when mum came home he would pretend he did it all lol. Don't think I'm complaining but that what it was like for me when dad was around.
I remember that when he left, i felt as though i had a life, i was just entering my teenage years and because dad wasn't around i was able to relax after walking home from school, i could watch TV, i would cook/bake not cos he told me to but cos i wanted to etc
This whole lifestyle was so good to me. But yet he is still my Dad. How can one man make me feel like that? weird but i look back and it makes me laugh how good God has been for me. He blessed me by letting me be born into a loving, Christian mothers arms. And i thanks him everyday, that he gave me such a great mother, sister and brother.
God bless you all, and think about how much your family mean to you.
