...!!! ETERNAL ROCK !!!...

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 the chance to learn a little bit about some of the Scriptures in the bible I have learned that there is so much more to that concept.  This great revelation to me was very hard to comprehend at first, and I so wanted to believe that it was really just as easy as that. But with lots of practice and help from the Lord, I am understanding more and more.  I always used to wonder why it was that bad stuff would happen to me... why was it that every time things were going good- it would just get worse. I now understand that as a father disciplines his children for disobeying him-when they know that they are doing wrong ...... So does our Celestial Father!!! Even though I didn't fully understand HIM...  I knew that he was real and my conscience wouldn't let me live it down.. if I had made a mistake (sinned).  So, with that being said... he punished me , cause I would keep make countless unfaithful promises to HIM.   I now know that the life of a "believer" is not by any means easy! And just know that when the world is talking about you and life just really isn't going your way- this just means that the devil hasn't gotten you, and that God hasn't forgotten you...... remember this... these are the things that God merely uses to make you strong in your faith... so that at some point in your crazy life you are able to actually poor your heart out to him (pray) and he can take you back under his wing. 
>>> I still have a hard time about really just going to him in my time of need.  I mean seriously, we as human beings have this certain complex of believing that a Higher Power can really fix things that are going wrong in our lives.  I, of all people can understand that completely.   But if you believe that the bible is real.. and that all of the stories in the bible are recollections of true events than you should have no problem with treating God and having "that" relationship with Jesus as something real.  It is literally like being in a relationship.  In a relationship you have to have trust, communication, love, patience, really getting to know that other person every single day of your life. That is exactly how it is with the Lord.  You have to be able to trust in him ( that know matter what, he will not fail you), you have to be able to talk to him- tell him what is going on in your life like he is a real person ( because he is), love him with all your heart and be patient when you ask him for changes in your life. 
>>> I know that a lot of people may think I am crazy about always wanting to talk about what God has done for me through Christ Jesus... but actually I get so excited to be able to witness to people about everything that I have and continue to experience in Christ. I know for a fact that all these changes were done by the Almighty... and NO ONE is going to try to make me think differently! I love the feeling of tranquility that I get when I am in this state of mind where its just HIM and I.  I literally get this sensation of pure heat from head to toe, and an overwhelming feeling of love and happiness.  By no means am I saying that I never feel angry or impatient or frustrated at times... because believe me I could only wish to be so perfect!! But that is the amazing part. Now I have a self discipline that helps me to control my anger issues and what not. I really try to leave any of my stressful situations to HIM... in good faith that he WILL NOT let me fall!! He always takes care of me and my family. The bible says... "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household." ACTS 16:31

GOD BLESS,
KRISTI MARIE <3

...::: THE HARD ROAD:::...

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

*** YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL***

" 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

IN LIGHT OF NATIONAL PRAYER DAY

Image
--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
