By request

So....I have a request from Sarah to tell everyone how "well" I came out of the anasthetic from my biposy today...so here it goes..

I thought I was in my leadership class, so I tried sitting up and the nurse told me to lay back down....and I was like "SHUT UP ALLIE I DONT WANNA LAY DOWN!"

Then i asked how sundaes went (cause we had a sundae fundraiser at school at lunch that I was in charge of)...Obviously...the nurse didnt know and I got mad, lol.

Then they asked if I wanted ANOTHER popcycle....I do not remember eating a first popcycle...kinda scary.

So...apparently this will make you laugh

Galations 1:6-8

So...I've taken these 3 verses....and written my interpretation of the verse in my own words in bold...tell me what you think!!!

6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel

I’m shocked that you could turn your back on the Lord, and that you’re turning to a completely different belief system!

7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.

That new thing you believe in…it’s a load of crap! Obviously you’re being tricked and thrown into something that has somehow been twisted into sounding like the Lord, and you are being converted by a twisted gospel.

8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

Any Believer of the Lord who has preached something other than what his word says…he will have eternal Damnation.

Galations 1:3-5













3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father
5 to whom be glory for ever and ever.

Amen.

I started reading through Galations, but Im not going to read a chapter at a time like I usually do, I'm simply going to read a few verses at a time, so I can really meditate on what it says and take it for what each verse says, as opposed to what each chapter says, so I can really break it down and hear all the words of the LORD. I read Galations 1:3-5 yesterday, and it basically talks about how God had planned all along to have Jesus die for our sins, so that we wouldn't need to be enslaved to this sinful earth. But, yes he rescued us from the slavery of this sinful earth, however he didn't take us away from it. We're still here, we're not living in a bubble. We have to make an effort to keep ourselves from the captivity. God isn't going to keep us from sin, he gave us free will. Its up to us to make that effort...we have to be willing to ask God for help. God saved us but we have to want the saving.

Im sorry

Im sorry this happened to you
Im sorry for your pain
Im sorry you have to be alone through this
Im sorry theres no one there
Im sorry I cant help

I wish I could be there
I wish i could show you that I care about you
I wish I could show you that not everyone in the world is like that
I wish This didnt happen to you
I wish I could take the pain away

I just want you to remember I love you, and Im always here for you.


Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Titus 1:15-16

15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

If you watch carefully, there are so many corrupted Christians, who say they're Christians, then go and get so drunk that they cant remember anything the next day, or who are constantly dropping F-bombs or who are dealing drugs. We're human, yes, but is that being an example for the lord? It says "but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted" Does that mean that anything they do before they believe in the lord is wrong? No matter what it is?

I want to urge everyone to take a deep look at their hearts...and examine your relationship the the lord (or if you even have one anymore).

I will go

So....I've been listening to the new starfield CD non-stop for like..3 weeks, and its amazing, i highly recomend it! Anyways, I was thinking about moving to Vancouver, and the song "I will go" came on...and its almost like it was written for me. I've been wanting to help people in this way for 16 years! And yeah...so here are the lyrics.

To the desperate eyes and reaching hands
To the suffering and the lean
To the ones the world has cast aside
Where you want me I will be

I will go
I will go
I will go Lord send me
To the world
To the lost
To the poor and hungry
Take everything I am
Clay within your hands
I will go
I will go
Send me

Let me not be blind with privilege
Give me eyes to seek the pain
Let the blessing You've poured out on me
Not be spent on me in vain
Let this life be used for change

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you



Send me! (4x)

Articles of War

So...I've been challenged by a lot of stuff lately...The Articles of war is one of the things I've been challenged by. Its not that I disagree with it...but its just been in my face a lot lately (not just cause its the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning)

Having accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord, and desiring to fulfil my membership of His Church on earth as a soldier of The Salvation Army, I now by God's grace enter into a sacred covenant.

I believe and will live by the truths of the word of God expressed in The Salvation Army's eleven articles of faith:

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God; and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice.

We believe that there is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship.

We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead - the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost - undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory.

We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man.

We believe that our first parents were created in a state of innocency, but by their disobedience they lost their purity and happiness; and that in consequence of their fall all men have become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has, by His suffering and death, made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved.

We believe that repentance towards God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary to salvation.

We believe that we are justified by grace, through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ; and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself.

We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.

We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified, and that their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in the immortality of the soul; in the resurrection of the body; in the general judgment at the end of the world; in the eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the endless punishment of the wicked.

I will be responsive to the Holy Spirit's work and obedient to His leading in my life, growing in grace through worship, prayer, service and the reading of the Bible. I will make the values of the Kingdom of God and not the values of the world the standard for my life.

I will uphold Christian integrity in every area of my life, allowing nothing in thought, word or deed that is unworthy, unclean, untrue, profane, dishonest or immoral.

I will maintain Christian ideals in all my relationships with others; my family and neighbours, my colleagues and fellow salvationists, those to whom and for whom I am responsible, and the wider community.

I will uphold the sanctity of marriage and of family life. I will be a faithful steward of my time and gifts, my money and possessions, my body, my mind and my spirit, knowing that I am accountable to God.

I will abstain from alcoholic drink, tobacco, the non-medical use of addictive drugs, gambling, pornography, the occult and all else that could enslave the body or spirit.

I will be faithful to the purposes for which God raised up The Salvation Army, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, endeavouring to win others to Him, and in His name caring for the needy and the disadvantaged.

I will be actively involved, as I am able, in the life, work, worship and witness of the corps, giving as large a proportion of my income as possible to support its ministries and the worldwide work of the Army.

I will be true to the principles and practices of The Salvation Army, loyal to its leaders, and I will show the spirit of salvationism whether in times of popularity or persecution.

I now call upon all present to witness that I enter into this covenant and sign these articles of war of my own free will, convinced that the love of Christ, who died and now lives to save me, requires from me this devotion of my life to His service for the salvation of the whole world; and therefore do here declare my full determination, by God's help, to be a true soldier of The Salvation Army.

Dont get all up in my grill, cause im a Jesus girl

So yesterday, in my leadership class....I had a near confrontation. We were doing this thing about superheroes...and we had to write 8 fictional superheroes, 8 people that were heroes in their time, but have....passed on from this life....and 8 people who are heroes right now...I put Jesus down...cause you know...Jesus is the greatest superhero of ALL TIME. And someone was like "Jesus was just a man, he didn't do anything heroic, everything people believe about him is a lie" and I got so angry. You know that feeling when you get really mad, and you can feel all the blood rising to your face and your about ready to bust a cap? Yeah...that was me...you do not talk about my daddy like that.
