"Someone Worth Dying For"

How many of you ask yourselves, why was I worth the pain that Christ endured on the cross? I ask myself the same question all the time and it's usually Communion Sunday because we're are breaking "bread" and drinking juice that is suppose to resemble Jesus' body being broken and his blood shed for us. My heart aches each time I take communion because I'm aware of all the sin I have committed in my life and Jesus had no sin the entire time he walked on this earth but yet took the punishment that we all should have endured. But let me tell you something, whenever I have the recurring thoughts of my past, God tells me that it is Satan bringing me back, because it is. The Devil is going to remind you of all your past sin just so that you can look into a mirror and say "I'm not worth it" but imagine Jesus up on the cross, nails pierced into His body telling you that you are worth it! The other day I was kicking the soccer ball around listening to music and the song "Someone Worth Dying For" came on. Now, I have all of the 'WOW!' CD's so I have a plethora of christian music on my phone, and while consistently having the Devil get into my head which he does so much, this song came on and instantly I imagine what I just described to you. While the song is playing, in my mind I see Jesus up on the cross. This man who was so perfect in every way, telling me that I'm worth it. If you're saved you know what I am talking about and I hope and pray that you can hold on to this assurance if you don't already. For those who are reading this and aren't saved or a Christian for that matter, don't overlook this. Jesus died for you, He took the punishment because He knew that you were going to be worth it. If you're really going to spend time asking yourself that question then I pose this one, what was the point of Christ dying on the cross if you're not going to accept that He did that for you?. You may be someone who doesn't want to let go of the parties, who doesn't want to be tied down to the guidelines and regulations of the Christian lifestyle but I'm telling you, living the Christian life is still fun, and there will be a huge party when Jesus comes again, we'll be partying all the way up to heaven. But, right now we are repenting, and asking God to make us new again; we're trying to live a new life that is all about praising Him and attempting to see the light in such a darkened world. You just have to make the step into accepting Him into your heart, then when the Devil starts to attack you, to shout "I'm worth it! I was someone worth dying for!".

Not Just Another Post-Abortion Story

On February 13th, 2016 my husband and I welcomed to our family a little boy whose name is Elisha Kenneth. It was in that moment when everything changed for me. I was now and forever a Mom - capital "M". One day I was driving to Church, same route I always take and I look in my rear view mirror at my son who knows of no malice he is simply sleeping away in his car seat with the sweetest and calmest face of content. In that moment it dawns on me. I love him so much. I remember the feeling I had when I found out he was a real thing. The feeling I had the moment I told his Father about him. The feeling I had when I saw him for the first time. The first time I heard his heartbeat. The time we found out he was a he. The moment when we walked through the hospital doors knowing that when we walked out we would have a baby boy. I had a rush of one feeling all in that moment while driving -- LOVE . And what followed afterward, nothing but sadness. Sadness and ...

Bullying: Make It Zero Tolerance

A good friend of mine posted on Facebook today about bullying. Bullying is a huge controversial issue in High Schools these days. I say controversial carefully because some schools do a pretty good job preventing it but others stress to the public that they have a "Zero Tolerance Policy" but when bullying is brought to their attention they say they can't do anything or they'll write the student up but the student will get nothing as far as punishment. Maybe punishment is a bit drastic but the least they can do is talk to the person who is the bully. Bullying has been around since the dark ages but it was called something completely different (not quite sure exactly what they called it) and it has moved forward in history. Everyone at one point in their life will or have been bullied in some shape or form. In some cases bullying can lead to dropping out of school or even suicide. Here are three ways I believe if we work together and apply them to our lives we can stop ...

Are You Furthering God's Kingdom or Furthering Your Rep?

Who loves getting recognized for things they do? I really enjoy it but I witness others thriving off of it, is that wrong? I don't necessarily think it's wrong to enjoy recognition but what is wrong is when you are only doing things so that you can get a compliment. The bible is constantly urging us as believers to "do for others" but where do you draw the line, when are you going too far? This is where I believe we are our own worst enemy. We want to be good Christians and help out where help is needed but when we obtain multiple compliments then those compliments go to our head and then we find ourselves doing things only for recognition and not to further God's kingdom.  As I stated above, I love being complimented and it surely does help when I'm doing something that I don't enjoy doing, you know it keeps us motivated. I started this "business" if you would call it that but it's basically a cleaning business something to make ends meet ...
