Tweet The Passion of the Christ Very few times in my life have I seen a movie that was so moving, so painful to watch, and so frustrating all at the same time. Never can I remember crying so hard during a movie. Hollywood has created a lot of movies that were bloody and graphic, but this one was real. My savior actually went through that, and the actual extent of His pain and agony could never be captured on the big screen. If you haven’t see the movie, stop reading here! If you have seen the movie, or care to listen to me talk about it, continue on. There…

Tweet Ah..Life.. It seems like it’s a never-ending roller-coaster. Sometimes it’s great, and sometimes it’s not. Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of the hill, and sometimes I feel like I’m free-falling. But you know something I have become increasingly thankful for-first of all my relationship with God. He’s always been the solid ground in my life. And my friends who seems to be constant. You know, those people who you can always count on. God has blessed me with several of them, and I am so thankful for them. But He has also shown me that I shouldn’t place my faith in them, because even though it may…

Tweet A Little Blessing From God.. Tonight we had the Jeff Choirs at our church for a religious arts festival. I went, although at first my soul motive was the fact that I’m in SMITE. However, I am so glad I went. This has perhaps been one of the worst weeks of my life, but last night I sat on my floor and cried out to God..and this morning, I woke up with a peace I haven’t known in a long time. It was as if He was saying..it’s going to be ok, I have a bigger plan for you. We had an amazing church service today, the pastor from…

Tweet Philippians 1:27a “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” Philippians 2:2-3 “Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility of mind consider others better then yourselves.” I read these verses in my devotions and they were in a sense a slap in the face. I am only held accountable for my actions and only have the power to control what I do and say. Although sometimes, it is necessary to confront, ultimately, I am only accountable to God for my actions.…

Tweet Be Intolerant Yes, that’s what I said. Be Intolerant. But not only of the things we know are wrong and are convinced we would never do, but of the things that are wrong and we do on a daily basis. Be intolerant of your friends who gossip. Be intolerant of locker-room talk, be intolerant of disrespect. Be intolerant of those who talk after being told not. And make sure you aren’t the one commiting those offenses. I’m reading a book entitled Be Intolerant. And although I go to a Christian school, I have realized how tolerant I am. How little I stand up for what’s right, and how often…

Tweet I’m sorry my blogs are mostly of the serious nature..I haven’t figured out quite why they are..but I will try and put some lighter ones on here in the midst of the rest. Life has had some weird twists and turns lately..I think God is trying to get my attention and it’s working. Although there are still so many times I let my selfish desires get the best of me. I must tell you, my heart is sad to see those around me who are or appear to be hurting..it has caused much heaviness to come over me. I am so thankful for the verses that talk about taking…

Tweet Confused.. Have you ever been confused? I mean, like not knowing what was right or what was wrong. Perhaps you have had this feeling in math, or spanish. Or perhaps you have been confused about life..which way to go, who to believe, who to trust. It is an awful feeling..making you want to stand up and scream-“Someone show me the right way, someone prove I can trust you” and yet even if you did, no one would hear you. Perhaps, you have been confused about the state of a relationship..maybe things were ok, but now they aren’t speaking to you. Or there is a weird barrier there, that was…
