        These 4 statements are a few that are constantly being questioned.  Many people struggle with believing that these are facts. The reality is, every single one of the statements are true.         Even when it feels like no one loves you, I can promise you one person does. And that person is God. God is love, and God is in you, so how could you not be loved? You are loved more than you will ever know by someone who died to know you. What greater love than that?          "But God demonstrates His own love for us: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8         You might feel like you're not important. You might feel like no one cares about you. God loves you and thinks you are important. He  cares more about you in a minute than anyone could in a lifetime. God has a plan for you to do great things and spread  His word. Long before you told God,...

        I just got back today from Orlando, Florida, a.k.a. the place that changed my life for the better . Youth 2015 is a nation wide Methodist convention for youth. We spent the last few days surrounded by over 4,000 people growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ and learning many things we need to know as Christians.          The theme for Y15 was GO>>ON . As Christians, we are disciples. God is calling us to do  something no eye has seen and no ear has heard. WE CAN'T STAY HERE! We must keep going. Don't let where you are now keep you from where God wants you to be.          We covered many very important topics in the few days we were at Y15 . There are many more that I can blog about and if you'd like to hear them, let me know and I will post. This experience is truly a blessing from God and I can't thank Him enough for allowing me to go and learn and go on to spread His ...

        82% of the world has faith . 1/3 of that faith is Christianity. 32% of all the people in the world are Christians. But when it  comes down to testing their faith, how many of them will fight for what they believe in?         When someone asks a questions about your beliefs, are you brave enough to openly talk about your faith? Many Christians would turn down the opportunity to spread the word. The question is why would we as God's children turn that down when He clearly says to spread His Word?          The truth is we are ashamed . Here's why: 1. We don't know our Bibles.         You may be thinking, "Oh, I know my Bible pretty well. I have lots of verses memorized, etc, etc..." Truth is, most of us have not read the entire Bible. We haven't deeply studied it. We don't know what most of it means. We don't know the full extent of God's Word. We're confuse...

           I saw this tweet the other day that said, "You can never gain cold , you can only have the  absence  of heat . It made me think that maybe hatred   doesn't exist , and it's only the  absence of love ." So if this is true, darkness is just the absence of light . So technically,  darkness is  nonexistent .          John 1:5 says,  "The  light  shines in the  darkness , and the  darkness   can never extinguish it ."  If all of this is true, how can darkness overtake the light of Christ?          One way I think of it is you can turn on and off a light , but you  can't flip a switch and turn on and off the darkness . When you turn off the lights , it gets dark . Which similarly applies to our spiritual light . When you turn away from God , your flame burns out and darkness takes it over . But when you tu...

        Last year, one of my teachers and I were talking about our faith. She told me that she used to believe in God, but when things took a turn for the worst, she lost faith. She said she didn't understand how such a great and powerful God could let something so horrible happen to her. I've realized this is why a lot of people don't believe anymore.         I've actually been wanting to write about this topic for a while, and as I was scrolling through Pinterest, I found some pretty neat scriptures about this. So I'm going to write about them now.         So where is God in a tragedy? Psalm 23 says "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing . He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for in His name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil , for ...

        Wow. I meant to put this up a long time ago, but I've been so so busy that I haven't had much time to write. As most of you know, I gave up makeup for Lent. Over 40 days without makeup!!! To me, Lent is about losing bad habits and begining good ones. You're probably thinking how is makeup a bad habit? Well here's my story.         Makeup is something used to make you look prettier. Which can be a good thing, if thought of in a good way. Many girls in today's society use makeup as a "cover up". Girls feel they are not pretty enough, hate the way they look, or don't like a certain flaw they have. Makeup is used as a way to cover your flaws for the world to see until you get home and uncover reality. Society has stuck this idea of beauty in our heads. Tall, Skinny, Pretty Face, Pretty Hair, Pretty Clothes. Females practically kill themselves daily trying to reach this idea of "perfection".          What I want to k...
