IN LIGHT OF NATIONAL PRAYER DAY

--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 if he were right next to me- has done a great deal of wonders for not only myself but for those around me (family, friends. congregation).  When I open whole heartily to HIM, he answers my prayers.  Whether it be that very same day or even a month later , his promises are always followed through with.  When we are at our most "intimate" (meaning not focused on any other thing) with God, is when our hearts should be truly shown to him.  In my opinion, being in God's presence is the greatest experience that any and all human beings should experience.  It's as easy as simply clearing you mind, raising you hands to the sky and saying.....
         MY LORD, I AM YOUR UNWORTHY SERVANT, BUT MY GOD PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME AND MY SOUL... GIVE ME THE GIFT OF WISDOM TO HONOR YOU AND GLORIFY YOU O' LORD.!!!!

   So, today I just found out about this whole National Prayer Day. It was actually named a real national day by President Truman in like 1952 or something like that...I guess I should really check on that one...LOL.  A special day really, in my opinion. People should pray all the time, but this day is special, because so many people in the united states are praying for the lives of our country and around the world.  And it is much needed!! You know, I heard on the radio once that no matter who you are or no matter where are in this world......someone in this world has prayed for you at least once in your lifetime.(without you even knowing it) That to me, is such a true blessing.  So if you would, just take some time ( even if for only a minute or two) from your day today and pray for your country.  It really does more than you think!!!
*** So deep are our necessities these days- that until we are in Heaven we must not cease to pray.  Are you in need of nothing?? Then I fear that you are unknown to even your own poverty.  "A prayer less soul, is a Christ less soul".!

GOD BLESS,
KRISTI MARIE <3

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
