Who are we to judge others?
Just think, you may have seen a person who wears long sleeves everyday and hangs out with the "emo" crowd. What if that person has been pushed away by everyone that she thought loved her? What if she cuts herself in pursuit to escape the way she's feel…
Before I get into the blog part of my blog (don’t worry I confused myself too), I want to tell you about my trip. I went with the older kids in my mission group, so the age limit was 15 to 20 (there were 10 of us), and 8 adults. We went to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, which is in southern Africa on the…
When I look back on the past few New Years, I realize that I have made pointless resolutions that I never seem to actually go through with. I also see that as the years have gone by, things have gotten tougher with each moment. I also see my mistakes I have made in my walk with Christ…
Venting
My life lately has been entirely full of stress and
emotional duress,
Breaking me with seemingly no forgiveness.
Watching for a point at which I might break,
Looking for weak spots, for a shot to take.
Waiting for that optimum moment
In which to break a weak opponent,
Watching me fall…
But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. -- 1 John 1:9
Then Peter came to Him and asked, "Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?"
"No, not seven times," Jesus replied, "but seventy time…
As she hides what she feels
Its like a dog nipping her heels
Itching to tell who will listen
You can see as her eyes glisten
The shiny surface will break as the tears fall down
More and more her heart aches
As she keeps her feelings bottled inside
As others pass she knows each and every smile she…
Let me start off with saying, no one really knows about this. Loved ones, friends, and family are going to read this for the first time and probably be totally shocked, maybe angry with me...But at the end, I think they'll realize that I had to put this out there. I hope they will realize that I hav…
Song of songs 4:12 "You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain."
As teenagers and even young adults we choose to date more times than none, and with dating comes a huge responsibility and temptation. This temptation is sex and or sexual act…
I just got back from my mission trip with my Homeland family last night and it was AWESOME! 38 kids were saved and over 500 kids were reached!! Praise God!! But there were 3 things that happened before and on this mission trip that made me realize what I want to do with the rest of my life.
First…
Just now, I was reading The Shack and for those who haven’t read it, it’s about this guy Mack and how he comes closer to God by literally meeting Him in a shack. I was in awe of the fact that how God who is so big and more than awesome WANTS to have a relationship with me.
I’m getting ready to …
When I began my Junior year, I promised myself I wouldn’t stray in my walk with God, but I did.
I promised I wouldn’t let anyone or anything interfere with how I live my life, but I did.
I promised that when things got bad, I wouldn’t turn away from God, but I did.
So the main problem I have…
I Hate Being Pressured
Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough, like I’m not living up to people’s expectations. I have realized that I need to make my own goals and try to live up to what I set. I know that if I try hard I can do anything and you should never let anyone tell you that you can’t. …
I sit here, soul aching
as I wonder why I'm faking,
and I know You are not shaken,
but still I'm stuck here breaking.
My heart cries out in pain,
from breaking, I try to refrain.
My life you have regained,
because my soul is Your domain.
The devil tried to shake me,
but with God, he'll never break me.
God'…
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly... who knows the great ent…

When it comes to patience with other people I can wait a lifetime, but when it has to do with something about me I am the world’s worst!
I hear everybody (well married couples) say “Oh well I met my spouse in high school (or college.)” So I get to thinking “Ok Michelle, you have already graduated …
Isaiah 40:30-31
“Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
I’ve never really been a great runner. I’m s…
I try to be
so tough,
but I'm just not strong enough.
I can't do this alone,
God I need you to hold on to me.
I try to be good enough,
but I'm nothing without your love.
Savior, please keep saving me.
Savior, please help me stand.
I fall so hard, I fade so fast.
Will you begin, ri…
Jesus Wept. I never knew that such a small verse could impact me in such an enormous way. As everybody knows, life is not always easy. Life is hard right now,and it is taking so much strength for me to make it through each day. Sometimes I wonder why I have had to experience what I have. Why do I ha…
