be a better Christian

We are still attending Oasis LA. I love it. I feel that I have a closer relationship with Jesus, now than ever. I’m learning so much. The messages are sinking in and I’m applying what I have learned to my daily life.

Jonathan and Hallie love thier age groups.

Saturday Hallie went hiking in the Valley of CA with “The Men of Oasis Church” and other moms and volunteers. She had a fabulous time.

On Sunday’s Jonathan’s class meets at Numero Uno, a pizza place close to the church. They meet, pray, and eat there, then attend the 12 o’clock service together. Justin is Jonathan’s group leader. He is awesome. Has a fabulous presence. He has a wonderful, loving attitude. We love him.

“Pray without ceasing”

Today I involved God more. I felt so much closer to Him by saying little prayers when things were going well and when things didn’t appear to be going my way. I prayed more during today than I have done in a long while and I’m hoping to keep this up so that Jesus will really be my best friend.

first day!!

i’m starting something new, hope it sticks and i never give up.
good luck….

OK IM GOING TO DO THIS GOAL! IM NOT GOING TO TRY BECUASE I KNOW IM NOT GOING TO QUIT. I FEEL LIKE MY FAITH IS STRONG RIGHT NOW BUT THERES ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVMENTS. ILL TAKE IT SLOW, AND READ A A COUPLE OF PAGES FROM THE BIBLE BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP. AND ILL WORK MY WAY UP FROM THERE.

So I paid this girl to write my essay. She said she and her boyfriend worked hard on it, gave me the flash drive and was on her way.
I found out she didn’t help out too much and the boyfriend copied it RIGHT from the internet. Great, huh?

Now I’m accused of plagarism, but Im not in trouble, so it’s okay. I’m just mad that they took my money and didn’t even do the work. But they are giving me my money back (I hope)

I could start rumors to make myself feel better. And yes, it would make me feel very very good. But I’m not going to. Whats a major theme in christianty? Forgiveness, seventy times seven. She forgave me for being a total bitch to her and I’m sure I can forgive them for doing something compleatly STUPID. ^{I could have just pulled an all nighter and bullshitted an essay…}

lesson learned, and I’ll try not to a bitch towards her. For now.

I had always been mischevious until the day i hit rock bottom…. i believe that GOD gives us all chances to be a better christians, its just that we have to realize that GOD is giving us these chances.. i am fortunate to have been given the chance to realize….. praise the good lord for this, follow his commandments and love GOD earnestly….. this im goin to try do…. amen

Its like I am helping God write the book of judgement on my life. I havent been doing any good deeds. I need to honestly concentrate on being a good christian because I can die anytime. Im not having sex or anything but I am just lying and doing other sinful things. I am going to try and occupy my time with my weight loss journey and stop doing irrelevant things that will not help improve my life.

I’ve been sort of flakey recently with keeping up with my Christianity. I haven’t been to a church I like in a really long time, and I certainly can’t claim that I think of God first in most, let alone every decision I make.

So I think it’s time to shape up on my Christianity!

Like I said, my faith has ups and downs. Now, the ups and downs are getting worse and worse.

First of all, I need to get rid of all the crap in my life, like anger and how I judge people. I’ve put so much effort into getting closer to God, I can’t just give up now. That’s definetly not what I want (even though it feels like it sometimes =[ )

I am working on this goal even though I live 2 different lives. I lie and deceive people but deep down I do care about people and love people. I love to help people and show them the right things to do even though I am not a good example. Tonight I deleted all the horny guys who I talk to on yahoo messenger who I met on the internet and then I uninstalled yahoo messenger. After that I listened to some christian songs on youtube. Everytime I start listening to christian songs and singing I notice that I feel overwhelmed with joy. I cant stop smilng while I am singing and I start to think about Gods love for me.

The changes that I have made since my last post…I have been reading the bible, praying for 2 mornings out of this week and listening to gospel music nearly everyday. I have a long way to go before I can tick this goal of but I know I will get there eventually.
