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!!!
