Purity

I was challenged tonight to be a woman of purity. So many times we are so good at fooling others and, putting on a show. We are good at letting people see only what we want them to see. Little do they know all of the gunk that we put into ourselves. We tend to feed ourselves to many things of the world. Take a moment and think of the things you fill you life with. What kind of music are you listening to? What TV shows are you watching? What movies are you watching? Are the things you are putting into your life polluting it or nuturing it? I know I am beyond guilty of filling my life with things that are weighing me down. I become so in the rountine of watching this or that and the next thing you know satan has you right where he wants you.
What the world doesn't tell you is the hurt and pain you will experience from all of the gunk you put in your life. The inside is truely what matters. I have seen people that are shining and you can't help but notice something different about them. I truely believe that when you are nurturing the heart that you can't help but shine on the outside. There is an outward beauty that can't be missed.
Quit letting satan win...take a stand and make committment to be a person of purity!

The greatest friend you'll ever have

I am blessed in so many ways. God has given me so many friends and family that i am blessed to have in my life. It is so hard on me as time creaps up on me and i will be leaving for Honduras soon. They have all played such a vital part in my life and have helped me to become the person that i am today. I find my self treasuring each and every moment that i spend with them. I just don't understand why we get so close to others and then it hurts when we have to leave them. I just wish that it could be easier to me. As for now i just treasure the time spent with them and know that God will help me get thru all of the transitions. There is always one friend that is there beside me no matter where i go, what i have done......JESUS. He is by far the greatest friend that anyone could have. He is there to pick you up, dry your tears, listen to you for hours, and best of all love you unconditionally. I am glad that although i may not always be the greatest friend He is there waiting on me even when i may turn my back on Him. For that i am beyond thankful. I know that with a friend like that i will be able to get thru anything.
Thank you each and everyone of you that has helped me to become the person that i am today. Beyond blessed to have you in my life!
