Gender: Female


Interests: My #1 love...God.
Expertise: I always call myself a mutt; Im a mixture of so many different things. I'm come across as a sweet and innocent person and on some levels I am, but I know I'm not. I'm girly, but I absolutly LOVE wrestling. I have many passions, but painting would have to be at the top of the list. I really enjoy reading, but when I'm writing I am creating my very own story (world). There is one story I have been working on for quit a few years; it's not the most creative or original world I've created, but I like it and I hope someday others will too. I really like to watch movies... Of course Im active and love to be doing stuff, but Im cool with chillin too and watching a movie.

Love Is an Orientation: Elevating the Conversation With the Gay Community
By Andrew Marin

Homosexuality and the Church

Can you honestly tell me that if Jesus was physically walking the earth today he would shun the homosexual community? Remember this is the same man who hung out with the lowest of the lows in the Bible. Why? Because they were God’s children and He loved them.

God is not capable of hate. It is hypocritical to listen to your pastor preach on a Sunday morning about Gods infinite love for his people and then go out and tell the world that he hates homosexuals.

Homosexuality is not the end of the world; there are by our standards much worse sins, like murder and stealing. So why do we make it such a big deal when someone is struggling with their sexual identity? Why does the church judge so harshly that it turns these hurting souls away from the church and above all God?

God does hate sin; sin ruined his perfect world and left its terrifying mark on his son Jesus. God hates sin. But saying that God hates homosexuals is wrong. To say that he hates what they are doing could be right, but let me put this into perspective for you. If you say God hate homosexuals because they are being homosexual then anyone can turn that back on you and say that every time you lie about something God hates you. Every time you put something before him in your life he hates you. Here is the rock solid truth for homosexuals and for heterosexuals… for sinners… for everyone on this planet, Every time you sin it breaks Gods heart, he cries for your love. He wants nothing more than you as you are, in his arms, and he can’t have that because every time we sin we are pushing him away.

God does not hate homosexuals, his heart breaks for them. His heart also breaks because the love for Jesus we as Christians are suppose to being sharing is not being done. We show no witness of Christ love when we Judge people for their choices, we hear all the time the word being preached, judge not. Judge not brothers and sisters of Christ!!!  Remove the plank from your own eye…

Put aside the debate about if homosexuality is something people are born with or if it is a choice because if we are showing the love of Christ to them that we should be, IT DOESN’T MATTER. Just know that like all else it is just another thing in the world that some people struggle with. E.X. alcoholics, drug addicts, and liars.

God is crying out for people of all walks of life and it is not our discussion to decide who gets to get in. Open up your narrow minds and your ignorant cold hearts and let them in. Walk like Jesus walked.

And ask yourself, if you’re still foolish enough to believe that God hates homosexuals, what makes you who is also a sinner so much more special?

Confessions at the Altar

Searching the deepest darks of my mind

Knowing there’s things I won’t want to find.

Everything’s blown away with sand

It’s my broken pieces you hold in your hand

If I could look in your eyes I know I’d be torn

It’s my nasty habits that have you so worn

I sing to you forgiveness it’s coming from my heart

Listen to my sorrow, it’s tearing me apart

Why do we choose to see the world this way?

So many colors but all it is is grey

 

I am screaming I am so sorry

I know I’ll mess up today

You take me in your arms

Say “I’ll love you anyways”

 

So many questions, so many whys

So many moments I simply despise

I let myself be empty

When trials came to tempt me

But I ran to you and you made me whole

It’s because of you, I gave you my soul

 

Forgiveness is easy, forgetting is rough

It’s those lessons in life that have left my skin tough

But you don’t remember what happened on that day

You said you forgave me then you threw it all away

 

You’re my life, my world, without you I am nothing

It’s because of your love that I am finally something.

Court

My family went to court this morning for our dog. I was the lead witness, I had to tell my whole story  of what I saw happen to my dog, Squirt. I also had to present pictures to the judge of the damage done to Squirt. My mom also testified because she had seen the dog attack before.  This was harder than I expected, with my neighbors sitting there watching me. I would never want any strife between my family and theirs, but it was what had to be done.

The Judge's final decision was to put down their dog, a part of me does feel bad. Their dog has had three litters over the past 3yrs, I understand their attachment to her. But the rest of me thought of my little innocent Squirt and how much I would give just to be able to take him for a walk again or ruffle up his ears(he loved that). I miss him

My Yard

 

 

A week ago I was relaxing in my hammock in the patio, just enjoying my first day off in while. Out of no where my day completely flipped upside down. Just outside the patio I heard a strange growl. I looked out the window to see my little 30lb cockerspaniel getting mulled by my neighbors 200lb pittbull!!! I don't need to explain anymore of what I saw, im sure you could imagine yourself the damage a beast like that could do. The police finally got to my house and beat the pitbull off my dog. My dog (Squirt) was not in good shape, but he was still alive. My other neighbor drove him  and me to the nearest hospital(I was in hysterics). The fact that my dog was still alive gave me hope that he was going to be ok little did I know that when I kissed him goodbye at the vets it would be the last time I would ever see him. 

I've lost pets before, but that was always because they were old. Squirt was only 7, he was still a baby and he was murdered. I've been blessed thus far not to have lost any family members, I know that will come someday down the road and I will deal with that when it gets here. So losing Squirt is like losing one of the family members. Sounds strange, but all this nice weather we've been having has me kind of depressed. My favorite thing to do when the sun was shinning was to take Squirt for our daily walks or even better he'd get to go for a car ride and play at the park.

I've been trying to see the light in this dark situation. The Pitbull had a 50/50 chance of choosing either my yard or the one on the other side of it. The other back yard had 2 poodle puppies and two little girls, so as hard as it is to say, thank God it chose my yard. And now we're going to court to get the pitbull put down, so this can't happen again to anyone else's family... or even their own, my neighbors who own this dog have a 3yr old and a newborn. I think God used Squirt to protect everyone else in out neighborhood, even me. After all I was right there when that pitbull jumped into our yard if Squirt wasn't there maybe she would have gotten me. God has a reason for all even if we don't want to see it.

My summer has been filled with some of the best experiences of my life, but it's downs have been harsh and heavy. I've been trying really hard not to let all the bad overwhelm me, it's hard though some times when the bad slaps me in the face over and over again! I am so thankful for the friends that God has put in my life (my shoulders to cry on). My birthday is next week I hope it can be a good one and then I am ready for the summer to be over.

DSC00447 I loved Squirt, he is missed so much!

Love me for me

Here I am,
As perfect as I'm ever gonna be
You'll see
Love me for me
Stick around,
I'm not the kinda girl you wanna leave
You'll see
Love me for me

Shut up, come back
No I didn't really mean to say that
I'm mixed up, so what
Yea you want me so you're messed up too
I love you, I hate you
If you only knew what I've been through

My head is spinnin'
But my heart is in the right place
Sometimes it has to have itself a little earthquake


I've been waiting all my life
To finally find you
Just so I can push you away
And when you're crawling over broken glass to get to me
That's when I'll let you stay

Here I am,
As perfect as I'm ever gonna be
You'll see
Love me for me
Stick around,
I'm not the kinda girl you wanna leave
You'll see
Love me for me

 

I had an awesome weekend with some of my closest friends up at their lake. It was amazing *sigh* I wish I could just be around water all the time, I love it so much! The best forms of entertainment are the ones that God has made himself  Tomorrow won't exactly  be that way... roller coasters anyone? We're taking the youth group to Darien Lake for Kingdom Bound, ahhh it's going to be GREAT!

It's been a pretty busy summer and it's not even close to being over  I am so ridiculously blessed!
