Thank You Westboro Church
I would just like to say thank you to the members of the westboro church for bringing a community together. Now i would not really even call these people an actual church. These people are a group of people that believe in the bible but they only pick and choose parts of the bible that they "like" (atleast thats what my interpretation of them is.) Now theres one thing that i agree with them which is that there are no innocent people. Today we are reminded that Jesus died on the cross to forgive our sins. Westboro Church is right that there arnt any innocent people, but Jesus died for us so we could be saved. I know that a bunch of people were ferocious about when they heard this church was coming to protest a funeral of a fallen hero. This church runs off of making people mad. Im so proud to say that i am a member of Waverly becuase our community decided to put all the angry that they had towards these people and help shield the friends and family of Donald Nichols from the protesters. I know that their was rumors that they didnt show up, but i do know for a fact that they did show up and they were not happy that they didnt get a reaction out of our community. Once again i am proud to be a part of a community that can be bigger than fighting. It also frustrates me that people think this is what real christians are like, which is not true. They use a false definition of the word true christian. Now to answer some of your guys question on how to pray for me...now im not gonna go into great detail but im soooooo confused and i dont know what to do anymore..pretty much i dont want to do this on my own but i am. Ok enough about me, i ask that you guys will pray for a friend, she's going through a rough time right now and really needs to rebute her relationship with God. She is trying to do everything on her own but she can't its gonna bite her in the butt in the long run. Just pray that her relationship with God gets stronger and that she knows that she has others to help her. Oh and i have been praying for all you guys that sent me messages and i would love to hear if anything has changed or if you have other prayers!

What it really means to be pure
One of my prayers that i have been saying alot lately: Help me not confuse lust&love when it comes to relationship. Show me what true love is through an intimate relationship with you.
Recentally i read 2 Samuel 11-12 and 1 King 1-2
King David spots this young lady Bathsheba bathing. He than sends his servants to go out and get her. Let's first look at how Bathsheba would feel(What it would be like to have someone famous be interested in you.) Now personally i would probably have two things going through my mind: 1st-i would be starstruck 2nd-how can i dare refuse someone so powerful? Even though she had a husband she couldn't refuse his invite. Bathsheba went and she slept with King David even though her husband was fighting off at war. Now the first thing that went through my mind was what the heck is she thinking!? Our lives can change instant. Like in the story pretty much everything went down hill when they decided to sleep together. They had sex, Bathsheba got pregnant, King David had her husband killed, than their newborn baby died. Even though they made a horrible decesion King David asked forgiveness. God of course being the amazing guy he is forgave them and blessed them with a baby boy named King Solomon.
Now recentally i have made a bad decesion with a "relationship" i have with a guy but reading this story helps me remeber no matter what i have done, God can still intervene in my life by bringing something good.
My little prayer: Help me remember that no matter what happens, you can bring great things out of a bad situation.
Risky Sexual Behavior
In my life i feel like my "friends" put the biggest pressure about sexual activity with the opposite sex. Im pretty sure its same with everyone no matter what age you are. I feel that everyone struggles with this (Some more than others) I think my biggest problem was first that when my friends started this kinda stuff i didnt know how to help them with the situations they were in. Reading more into my bible i have come to relize that prayer is the best answer to help with them(1 Thessalonians 4:3-8, 1 Corinthians 6:15-20, 2 Corinthians 6:14.) So i dont end up in similar situations as them i need to form my ownviews of sexual purity. Draw the line Colossians 3:5
When i think of purity i think of the fear; how angry god will be with me, the fear of what my parents will think, the fear of pregnancy, and the fear of STD's. The whole purpose of purity is God's blessing to us. Its not God's asking you to stay pure as a mean trick to cheat you out of fun. Its for our own benefit!
The same goes for premarital sex. In today's society premarital sex is "acceptable" God has not changed his mind about premarital sex, his answer has been and always be no to it.
When you give it up your not just giving up your purity and your virginity, you also are giving up yourself respect, peace of mind, obedience to God, and the incredible experience of having sex with your husband: free of guilt, baggage, full of love, trust and joy.

Back on the right track...
Last night was the first performance of the Great Saga. It went amazing even though we were missing a member of our crew. Ahhh right now im like on a spiritual high and it feels GREAT!!

I have been praying alot for our mime cast and people that our coming to our shows and people just in my life. God is doing such great things right now! Even with me i can feel it. Lately I have been just asking if theres anything i could pray for people about or do anything for them...so im gonna challenge you guys to leave a responds to this post and tell me.

You are not welcomed here
Hey everyone sry i havent blogged in a wial life has been so crazy! Between work, school, mime, and track feels like i dont have time for anything. So this is just gonna be just a really random blog about random things that have been going on in my life and things that have been on my mind lately. Lets first start of with the great saga! Our first performance is tomorrow!! Im so excited but dang nervous at the same time. Satan has really just been attacking our mime cast this year. Both mentally and physically, why in the world is satan so good at his job? Becuase i know that besides being physically sick satan has been getting to me alot mentally. He has certainlly been good as using my weaknesses against me. Well someone asked me recentally what it felt like being a demon. Honestly i could not answer that question. I dont want to know how it feels like being a demon or even get close to feeling that part. I think id rather be able to act the part than actually feel the part( if that makes since) Ahhh..sry my mind is just getting side tracked so none of this prolly makes since to any of you guys. ( if anyone actually cares.) I have noticed that lately i havent cared about anything. Like i have this problem with dealing with this guy but honestly i have gotten to the point where i could care less about how he feels. Like i dont care if what i do to him hurts him. I dont want to feel like this but i just do. Ahhh i just dont know wat do to anymore...im done i cant do this anymore.
