Celebrate Christianity
Do you ever feel that you have so much to do and so little time to do it with?I know i do esp. when school starts but even during the Summer we always seem to have something that NEEDS done.Have you ever stopped and just thought about God,and how great he is?I know that I haven't very often.But I really think I should start.God deserves ALL my time why don't I give it to him?Answer...the Devil distracts us from God and tempts us with all kinds of dark things!Well I'm ready for that to stop,why should I give my time to him?All he wants to do is hurt and destroy my life!!So I've decided to Celebrate my Christianity.How to do this??....I'm not totally sure?But God will guide me I know that for a fact.I think the best way to start maybe to read my bible which I don't do often enough,praise him through singing and dancing (which I love) or by just sitting in God's presence.Another way would be to get together with my other brothers and sisters (not meaning family but God family if you know what I mean,but both would be good to share this with) and share stories of how God has lead us on our journey so far and have a laugh!So what are you waiting for?Get out there and Celebrate Christianity!!!Everything on earth,shout with joy to God!Sing about his glory!Make his praise glorious!Say to God, "Your works are amazing!Because your power is great,your enemies fall before you.All the earth worships you and sings praises to you.They sing praises to your name."Psalm chp66 v 1-4

Appearences
Do you ever get really feed up with all the wonderful, beautiful stars you see on TV,in magazines and the net?To be honest we really shouldn't because they have been created in God's image the same as you and me. Appearences are so over-rated, whatever happened to inner beauty? I no saying that inner beauty is more important but we are so pressued to be in the current fashion,have the current computer accessiores etc.But none of these things matter!I have been effected by this whole issue a lot, I continuely put myself down because of my whole appearance,weight and sometimes even my personality.But what we (and me esp.) have to keep in mind is that God really doesn't care about this he created each of us with a piece of him.So if we put ourselves down then we are putting God down!!We just have to remember who we are living this whole journey for,ourselves or the one and only God?Too many countries have become superfical our we going to let ours be the same?I no I don't!!I'm not sure if any of this had made since but I felt i needed to write about because I struggle with it quite often and I suppose I need to learn from my own advice!"Don't store treasures for yourselves here on earth where moths and rust will destroy them and thieves can break in and steal them.But store your treasures in heaven where they cannot be destroyed by moths or rust and where thieves cannot break in and steal them.Your heart will be where your treasure is."Matthew chp6 v19-21,Youth Bible
"And why do you worry about clothes? Look at how the lilies in the field grow.They don't work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers."Matthew chp6 v28-29,Youth Bible.
This has been short,sorry.Thanks again for bearing with me!!Rem. lvya always but someone else loves you beyond what you can believe!xXx

I'll Be Ok
"I'll Be OK"
When everything is going wrong
And things are just a little strange
It's been so long now
You've forgotten how to smile.
And overhead the skies are clear
But it still seems to rain on you,
And your only friend all have
Better things to do.
[Chorus:]
When your down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When your down and lost
Along the way
Oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
Now things are only getting worse
And you need someone to take the blame
When your lover's gone
There's no-one to share the pain
I was in the car driving home from my drum lesson and this song came on. I found the lyric's really interesting, I mean they are quite reassuring lyric's it's as if they are singing it to their friends to tell them that they will ALWAYS be there for them. I just felt that this is what God is telling us no matter how low life gets and I know it really does get the lowest at times, but God the Savior who died for us wants to help us and guide us through. Because all pain caused on earth will never be as much as God suffered for us on Calvary. And everything happens for a reason sometimes the lowest times can touch other people when you feel ready to share and that could lead to others being saved!God can use you no matter how low you get he LOVES you he DIED for you why would he go through that for no reason?Yes it's hard for very many people to understand but it's TRUE it happened God LIVES today....but the question is are you ready to live your life with him there or a life of brokeness and lonliness?lvya as always xXx
