CONFESSIONS OF A JESUS FREAK

" Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will".  ROMANS 12:2 >> Nothing says it better than this passage.  I am a person who has ALWAYS been so self conscious about my physical appearance.  Now keep in mind that the only time I have ever been under a size 10 was in middle school. I just have never been "the skinny girl".  And although I grew up in a home where I was always given praise about being beautiful and what not... in my mind that has never been the case.  My weight has been such a struggle for me for as long as I can remember.  If I'm not thinking about the "important things" in life... I can guarantee you that I will always be thinking about my weight.  Its like a disease that I can't get rid of.  This is a big issue that I keep asking God to help me with.  I pray that God help me thro

For in Scripture it says:  "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame"... Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe..." The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone"... and, "A stone that cases men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message-which is also what they were destined for.   1PETER 2:6-8 >>> There used to be a time in my life when I would find it so hard to believe that ANYONE could make me think a different way.  I mean, I used to have one certain concept about God.  I used to think that as long as I believed that he existed at one time and that Jesus did die for our sins... a long.. long .. time ago- that with me being a "GOOD PERSON" would get me into heaven.  But I have recently come to find out that - that isn't necessarily the case!  By having

JONAH 2:1-10 >> I am pretty sure that we are all familiar with Jonah and the "big fish" that swallowed him.  Well God had called to Jonah to go and preach, but Jonah didn't want to because he was sort of a nationalist if you would. He didn't want to go to the people -whom he was not very fond of- and "spread the good news".  So he tried to run away from God's calling.  But what he didn't know and what so many of don't realize is that, once God has called upon you to do his work-there is NO ESCAPE.  We love the Lord, but sometimes we are just so rebellious at times, we do what ever it is that we want to do. But in reality we can not hide anything from HIM. Nothing escapes his site.  Another good lesson that is taught in the book of Jonah is that we should be able to teach the word of God in all parts, without being ashamed.  You never know when someone is waiting for THOSE PERFECT WORDS OF LIFE that could possibly save them from all their p

--ACTS 4:31-- >> After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly.<< (niv).    Praying is our absolute communication with God.  I don't think that I can even count the times when I would be completely to the point of a nervous break down and I used to just sit and cry all hours of the day.  I would be left there sitting, sulking, and feeling sorry for  myself, and no one else can cry for me.  Needless to say that the outcome of that situation would simple result in a raging MIGRAINE from all of the crying and not to mention that the problems that I had to began with were still there.  So, lately instead of feeling sorry for myself I actually have the option of doing something about it. --JAMES 4:10-- >> Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will lift you up.<< (niv)    I speak personally when I say that from being able to open up to God and talking with him as

SO BADLY TRYING TO CHANGE, ALL OF MY IMPERFECTIONS.... I MUST ADMIT IT'S HARDER THAN, I WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT.... BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS TAUGHT.... CHANGES TAKE TIME AND ARE, HORRIBLY HARD TO ACCOMPLISH.... THE HARDEST PART IS  A MIND GAME, ONLY WAITING TO BE TAMED..... CHANGES ARE HARD, BUT NEVER IMPOSSIBLE.... SO IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES, THAN DO THE UNTHINKABLE..... JUST PRAISE THE LORD AND GIVE HIM THANKS, BECAUSE ONLY HE IS UNSTOPPABLE !!!! *~just a little poem of motivation from me to you ... :) ~* GOD BLESS KRISTI MARIE <3

                                            (two of the many blessings given to me by my Lord) "But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." ISAIAH 40:31(nkjv) "Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near." JAMES 5:7-8 (niv) >>> As a mom, I am prone to lose my patience very easily, as I am sure a lot of other mothers out there do. "Mommy this, mommy that , do this, do that." (ALL DAY LONG :) ).  Although I am sometimes to the point of pulling my hair out at times, I must admit I would have it no other way! I can actually say though I have definitely gotten a lot better in this past year (thanks to a lot

Christianity equals ...HARD ROAD        sin equals....EASY PATH Believers should know that the Bible is God's words and that the Lord is REAL AND ALIVE!!! We dont just go looking for God. He comes looking for the sheep that have gone astray when he is reay for them (when his mercy falls upon you). There is no such thing as LUCK....but GOD'S WILL. God has chosen every person for a certain purpose from the time we were only tissue in our mother's wombs: He already knew what he had planned for us. We are all under his promises and just know that He ALWAYS complies to his promises. He sends the good as well as permits the bad , but only to keep our faith strong...Be happy and rejoice when the world is talking about you , because this just means that God HASNT given up on you!! The life of a true Christian is hard but brings enternal life!!!! All that we have recieved from God ( jesus dying for YOUR SINS) : NO ONE can take away from us!!! My friend , there are so many p
