The Whole Armor of God!

So to get me through the week I'm going to be living through Gods Armor Ephesians 6:10-20
Which says:
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak."

(Ephesians 6:10-20 ESV)

That pretty much sums up all that I have to say. Although I know this week will still be tough, I know that wearing Gods armor will definitely provide the strength and courage to get through it. And to do so by walking through the Holy Spirit, teaching others through my actions. God is Love. Show your spirit for God!  Have a Great Week!

Boy Drama

So I did not write the past few days due to..... high school AP teachers who give TONS of  ridiculous homework, German Club and its Fall Festival activities,  Student Council and helping with Homecoming, and finally the super cold Homecoming game.... this week was terribly long and dramatic I forgot to mention the stupid immature drama of high school. Girls face it guys in high school most of the time are players and they do not care that they hurt you. Why? I don't exactly know! Yes I know it is mean and hurtful trust me I know I have felt that pain. But I also know Gods plan is much greater than I know! And boys are not our focus we have much better things to focus on like God, family, and education. So I know that at least in my school it sucks to be single when it is like couple central. But if you already know the boys are immature then don't try and to the boys that said they would not ever hurt a girl.... way to lie and disappoint us! Don't set the poor girl up. And girls just because they do that does not mean you have the right to do it back! To this all I have to say is read Song of Solomon 2:7 this Bible verse is mentioned a few times... therefore it is important. It says: "I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the does of the field, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases." God has a guy for you but be patient don't rush it....wait.... I know it seems like you have to wait a lifetime but do not rush it! Till then God is Love and he is our Prince Charming! He has already written our story now let Him rock you to sleep with this bedtime story. :)

Spirit Week!

So this week has been Spirit Week at my High School... Yay! It's the time of year that the really gutsy people dress up according to a theme and walk around acting like a dork for a day. Sounds fun right? So Monday was twin day simple, planned, and not too noticeable. I ended up have 3 other matches. We wore our German Club shirt it was pretty relaxed and fun. The second day Tuesday was 80's day.... Now there is a reason we do not live in that time anymore! It was like a free pass to be out of dress code. And there were some pretty interesting outfits. I dressed up in my moms black, fuzzy, half shirt that fell off the shoulders and looked like a carpet.... not the most attractive thing in the world. Today was nerd day. Since when do nerds look so alike... what a stereotypical week. Nerds don't all wear suspenders and pigtails and all those interesting things. I wore my Harvard University sweat pants, hoodie and shirt with my retainer and glasses. Realistic??? I think so. Tomorrow is costume day and Fall Festival which I made 24 cupcakes for. Friday is my favorite day it is SCHOOL SPIRIT DAY!!!! YAY! It is the day I will wear my Rowdy Row shirt (which is a girl supporting a Varsity Football player and spoiling them like crazy!) my mums (which are flowers and ribbon), which makes the school sound like a herd of cows! And it is homecoming! What a fantastic day! What I have to say to this week is when others are talking about others and making fun of them for participating and having fun with spirit week remember Matthew 5:11-12.
"Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Stay strong in faith and trust in the Lord be yourself and follow after God. When participating in these activities don't be scared of what others think it's not about them! Have fun and know that you always have God!  And always show your spirit for God!!!!

Judging others

I can honestly say I'm not one who walks around thinking that I am is better than everyone else. I normally find faults in myself and don't get to the self absorbed part. Now it's not that I'm not confident it is that I feel everyone should get equal attention and because I am not perfect. Now other people judge me daily and it always does put my faith to the test. I have learned that one of the hardest things to do is to not judge others. Now that is probably because of the society in which we live in and how we have been raised. My parents raised me not to judge however I am human and one thing about us is we do judge. From the first time you meet someone and think to yourself...."this person looks mean" or something along those lines. Well these judgements build up to worse judgements and get out of hand. So I always try my best to not judge so I keep Matthew 7:1-6 in my mind at all times. And one verse from it says "Why do you see the speck that is in your brothers eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" (Matthew 7:3) This verse specifically stands out to me because most of the time when we judge others it's something we also have in common. And also we are not perfect and neither are they. It isn't my job to judge it is Gods.

Holy Kiss

The title of this blog is based off of
2 Corinthians 13:1-14
Which says...
 This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them—since you seek proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you. For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.
 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test. But we pray to God that you may not do wrong—not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to have failed. For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. Your restoration is what we pray for. For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.
 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

(2 Corinthians 13 ESV)

I am not writing on here to tell you what is right or wrong but to share with others pure, holy, brotherly love. To tell others of my walk with God. It is a challenge and you will get to know that but with God life is easier. So for every moment of my life that you'll read I will have a Bible quote to go with it. I hope you find comfort in my words but most importantly God's. I hope you feel greeted with the Holy Kiss. God is Love.
