Ok, so I was at church today, and this young guy started blaring Hillsong United music, and this is one of the songs he was playing that stood out to me.

Kingdom Come- Hillsong United

Your love reaches out to me
Your grace has made a way to you
Made a way to you
Your word lives inside of me
Your truth is life to all who hear
Life to all who hear
We live for you
Live your truth

May your kingdom come
And your will be done
As we serve your heart
Serve your heart
Let salvation flow
As your people pray
Lord we long for more
Long for more

In you death is overcome
No power can stand against your name
The power of your name
In faith we will rise to be
Your hands and feet to all the earth
Life to all the earth

I love this song, and it has such a meaning to me. When it says let Your will be done, its NOT talking about OUR will, its talking about God's. When it says death is overcome, it means with God, we all live. Now, even though those are obvious meanings, they do mean alot to me.

I dont know about you guys, but Ive really had some stuff eating me up lately, one of them being people with false testimonys.. To clear this up, Ive had people telling me that my testimony is false because of what my friend did to me and theyve been throwing the scripture Proverbs 6:16-19 in my face.. That scripture is "the 6 things God hates"... It all hurt me so bad and they didn't even care.. So, I had to brush it off, because all that needs to know the truth is me and GOD, not anyone else. I am called of the Lord, and people have hard times, but that doesnt mean God doesnt love us. Let me tell you something.. if I didnt have Jesus in my life I would be dead right know, thats without a doubt.. He came to my rescue, and Im alive, and got a heart full of Him whether I show it or not. You can call me fake and stupid if you want, but I know the truth.

I was reading in a book I have and it asked these questions?

When someone comes to me with a problem... do I shift gears and listen--or put him off and hope he'll go away?
How often do I find myself complaining about something?
Do I take a lot of satisfaction in lecturing people or being tough with them?
When someone tells me a new idea, do I look for an objection to puncture his balloon?
How often do I use the word "I"?

It came to my mind, that I pretty much do all of these, and I hated it. I dont know if you guys think the same thing or not. Even though I think that, that doesnt mean I cant change and be better for God.. Im gonna be a missionary one of these days, and I hope you guys can see that Im actually telling the truth.. Its what God has called me to do and its not my choice to not do it.. Its His will that I must do and not procrastinate and do like I did before.

I was talking to a friend the other night, and she told me that God knew what I was gonna do before I did it and I needed to let go of the past.. and later on she prayed with me and made me feel alot better. She dont kno how much it meant to me.. Shes such a blessin.. You know who ya are .. Thanks again...

Anyways, this is gettin kinda long, and I just wanted to say no matter what your goin through, Gods there, and Hes not gonna leave.. No matter how long it takes, Gods gonna work it out, no matter what the case may be.. All of you know I use to cut myself, I just wanna say its been 7 months since I did anything to hurt myself.. That itself is proof that God is helping and healing my life..

Love and God Bless you all

well yall, i just wanted to write this and get some stuff off my mind.. ive been doing alot better, but stuff just keeps coming up that brings me down.. believe it or not, i know 5 15 & 16 year olds that have gotten pregnant or have already had their babys.. i figured out last night that not only one of my old best friends got a girl pregnant, now its 2 guys that i know.. having kids that young, has to be hard, but it just blows my mind that all the people i use to hang out with are living live like that. im definately not calling them bad people though. please keep them in your prayers. im just glad its NOT me living that lifestyle and im glad i got right. ive been struggling in some ways these past couple weeks but God is definately pulling me through, and for the first time in 2 months, ive actually been able keep my head up, i havent wanted to stay in bed all day.. that itself is an answer to prayer. were always gonna have problems and pain in our lives, but it doesnt mean that God forgot us, i just think it means Hes preparing us for our futures, and how we will spend them. ive met some people on this site and they are without a doubt, some of the BEST people ive ever met, and they actually talk to me and treat me like a person thanks guys, you know who you are.. anyways, i just wanted to write this, and say a couple things, cause i was needin to vent before i get depressed and upset again.. hope you dont mind!
God bless all of you
love ya all!

Please know that we are your family in Christ, and if u ever need to talk or vent, or need a listening ear or shoulder to lean on, we are here ok
Dont keep whats bothering you bottled up, as the enemy luvs this, cuz he can tempt us with all sorts of icky thoughts, and try to drag us into darkness.

I will lift up your friends in prayer. There are many many lures out there, and it just makes it so much more important that we try to reach the ones who are being deceived by satan, and show them truth and the Love of Christ.

Thank you so much for answering His call to reach out to others I know He has lots of wonderful plans for you, and I know u are blessed with many awesome talents and gifts. So you keep shining that light lil panther. You make your Jesus proud.

GBU sis
luv,
lizzie
