tumblr and miscellaneous

So I have really found my place here on BLOGGER SPOT.Com and I really am excited and overjoyed because I've been looking for something like this for a while and I just never really felt connected. But now I have this amazing little thang that just "FEELS" right.

I've also discovered Tumblr and wanted to pose the question of "DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY FOR MY BLOGS ON BLOGGER TO ALSO POST ON TUMBLR SO THAT IT SAVES ME TIME? OR IS THAT POPPY TALK? Lol"

Thanks for listening to that just had that in my head floating around and yeah it was something that I really needed to get off my chest.

I really enjoy this feeling of waking up, studying the WORD OF GOD aka my BIBLE :) and then going online and getting some thoughts down and out into the world through this site. It just, it needs tea but that's about it really. I wouldn't mind doing this for a living. I think I may even be willing to take a class on web design so I can really learn how to maintain this and get good at it.

One of my faithful blogs A SIGHT TO BE SEEN by my lovely friend Danica hosts a beautiful layout and theme. I'm reminded of my days on MYSPACE and the hours I spent making up amazing themes and changing the tiniest things. But somehow all of that has left my head and I find myself feeling quite computer illiterate. Which is a foreign feeling.

THE WORD

Today ***John 6:67*** really stood out and spoke to me. It of course is after Jesus has just talked some crazy talk to his disciples and followers about taking in his flesh and his blood. I really don't want to turn this into a bible study but basically he was of course not speaking literally and he was speaking of taking in the body of CHRIST which is the SPIRIT and which brings us ETERNAL life as believers of Jesus. Now I am not a scholar so my little tidbit may be lacking but that is what I saw and what was revealed when I read it.

So in that scripture Jesus has watched people leave thinking he's lost it speaking such things and he turns to the twelve who are left and he asks them straight up "do you also want to GO AWAY " and like a wave it hit me and I was in my journal and at it!

That is the perfect illustration of what FREEDOM in Christ looks at.  There is no yelling, or begging or threatening.  He enters our lies and there comes the choice to accept him or deny him.  I choose to accept because the world has nothing even half as promising as what Jesus Christ has to offer. Then your with him and he is in you and you come to little places where you do have the choice to go away .  And god is there when your faced with it and he's there if you decide to leave and the most important thing is GOD IS WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK.  that is the freedom of Christ.  He does not condemn like man.  He teaches with love and he speaks to your souls needs and then he stays with you. From the time you hit the bed to the time you rise to study his word he stays with you and gently guides you.  But there is freedom in our walks with Christ.  

And with that Freedom comes choices throughout our lives and our days where we can choose to make a choice that can lead us away from Christ. In which case we are saying "yes i want to go away".

WE have to be aware of the spiritual battle that is taking place for our lives. I know I fall victim to straying with thoughts that enter my head about myself, about others as well as the words I speak especially when around non-believers and just little things that can be looked at as steps taken in the opposite direction.

So be in prayer, be constantly praying for forgiveness because that is our greatest gift as humans! A father who will watch us walk away and disobey but as soon as we say we're sorry and turn from those ways he acts as though we never did it in the first place.

BOOKS AND PHONES..!
I didn't really have a point just another rant before I head out to look at new phones *my contract is expiring in a month :)* and go read this book by FRANCINE RIVERS "THE SCARLET THREAD"  which is proving to be a huge hit with me. I also recommend by RIVERS "REDEEMING LOVE",  this happens to be the first novel I read by her and was way better than watching THE NOTEBOOK or ATONEMENT. If you want to cry, laugh, cry and REJOICE please I urge you to pick that up :).

well, I'm feeling better. God bless and please be in prayer for our nation. If you've seen current events you can see that THE LORD is near and times are only going to get crazier. Our generation has yet to see ANYTHING ;). Hopefully I'll be gone before that mess takes place. lol love you all<3
