I love good Christian reading which of course has the Bible in first place by a long shot, Pilgrim's Progress,The Grace Awakening, My Utmost for His Highest..and oddly, Stephen King and Dean Koontz( both of whom are fellow Christians) as I love to see how good prevails over all kinds of evil.I also love to read books by either Maeve Binchy or Rosamund Pilcher.
Christians - By Maya Angelou
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
I am a single mom of six wonderful children who have all made the personal decision to accept Jesus as their Savior and their Lord. Having gone through many refining " trials" I was able to take courses on Christian counseling and receive my certificate. The Lord has been, and will remain- my ALL!
LIKES
Making new friends, picnics in the park, good movies, great conversations, setting and keeping goals,a clean home(though I dislike getting it to that point), animals, butterflies, justice and mercy....AND '57 CHEVY BELAIRS.............
Rudeness and arrogance, pride, and laughing at another's mistakes. Keeping track of who wronged who instead of forgiving and moving on. Those who think Christians are perfect or have to live by a set of rules and regulations. Not taking a stand...bats
Dear God.....
It is just me again.
You know I have this group of friends
That I need you to take care of and watch over.
They are not from my town,
And most are not even in the same state/province,
In fact there are some that live in a different country.
They are scattered all over the world.
I met them on the Internet.
We send e-mails to each other,
And some I have even spoken to on the phone,
But most of them, we will never meet face to face,
However there are a few
That I have been lucky enough to share a real hug with.
It does not matter if we have met
Or not these people are my friends.
There is so much going on in the world,
And it scares me,
You see I care about these friends that I have met,
And God that is why I am asking you
T o please watch over them and protect them.
I would never have imagined that
I could care and even love someone
That I have only met online.
The truth is loving and truly caring about a person
Begins in the heart, and it stays inside of the heart.
I ask you God to give my friends
Health, happiness and peace,
Please take care of them, and guide them.
Through the Internet
I have been so blessed to have found friends
From all over the world.
I have learned that although some of us
Have different beliefs and we live differently, ..
We are so much alike,
All hoping for the same things in life,
True happiness.
Please God,
Bless each one of these friends
That have touched my life in one way or another.
Forgive those God that have hurt others,
Help them learn the true meaning of
Love and Friendship.
I know that each person
That I have met through the Internet
Has been placed in my path for a reason,
So I ask you once again God,
Protect them, guide them,
Keep them safe, love them and
Bless them throughout the Day,Week,
Month And Year,
In Jesus Name.

May You rest in His arms,
May You feel His presence like never before,
May He lead you into a greater relationship with Him,
May you be clothed with boldness as you step out into all that He has for you,
May you understand as never before His great love for you!
Happy New Year!
Hi!
Didn't know whether you had seen the notice that my CD is now available! Just wanted to let you know.
How's everything on your end?
God's peace,

Hey girl,
I have not been on here in a LONG time. I have had so much going on. I am trying to catch up with people on here. I hope all is well with you. Holler back.
Hugs,

The Fact That God Is A Living Being
In Essence Our Father
And That He Remembers Us
While We Are Separated From Him
And Is Happy When We Return
Is An Idea That Should Make All Christians Jump For Joy
Because It Depicts God As Very Personal In Our Lives
Which Is What Jesus Was Trying To Tell His Listeners In Luke 15:11-32
And What He Tells Us Today
God Wants A Personal Relationship With Us
We Should Seek It Daily
Thank You
For Your Wonderful Friendship
