Friends, Colleagues, and Strangers alike- I come to you with a message, one that has been burdening my heart lately. Our lives are pointless, are they not? I mean, yeah, we go about each day, making money, or going to school- but what is the point? I HAVE FOUND PURPOSE! I HAVE FOUND A SAVIOR- ONE WHO TAKES AWAY OUR SINS, FOR NOTHING!
He came to Earth to DIE for you. He came here to redeem you, so that you could DWELL WITH HIM! HE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU'VE DONE! HE DOESN'T CARE HOW SINFUL YOU ARE! HE FREELY GIVES ETERNAL LIFE! My Jesus died for ME. I AM NOT WORTHY OF BEING RUN DOWN BY A CAR, and He saved ME. I can never achieve His standards; but He freely takes my sins, my sorrows, my pain, my suffering; and turns them into His joy, His peace, His Glory. People ask how I can preach His word.. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! HE SAVED ME, FROM WHAT I WAS! He DESERVES our lives as forfeit for our sins.. But WE ARE REDEEMED! Don't tell me no one cares for you.. Don't tell me no one wants you around.. because He LOVES YOU. Yes, you've done everything in the devils book.. but HE WILL TAKE YOU BACK! He will pick you up, from wherever you are, and carry you through! His HANDS WILL GUIDE AND PROTECT YOU! You have his promise- He will NEVER leave OR forsake you! You are SAVED! You are NOT saved through what you've done, but what HE DID THROUGH CALVARY. Jesus Christ died on a cross, for you, and for me, so that we wouldn't have to be perfect to live with Him. He accepts us as we are! No matter if you want Him or not, He works in your life. He worked on my heart, and I hope I've worked on yours.


May the angels shout, and all the heavens praise His HOLY Name. Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him- King of Kings, and Lord of Lords!

TO JESUS CHRIST BE ALL GLORY, HONOR, AND PRAISE!

BECAUSE I AM REDEEMED, BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. I HAVE BEEN MADE WHOLE AGAIN!

Alright, half of you(not including Kristen) don't know anything about me. Well, I'm from Louisiana and recently moved to Michigan. At first.. I didn't know what to tell my friends. Told them I'd come back, but now, since the recent skyrocketing of gas prices, it looks like we're bound to Michigan, for the moment. Anyways, one friend I had back home, Caitlin, me and her had grown REALLY close, right before I left. We were at the point where, if she had a problem, she'd come to me. Well, as the miles slowly began to rise, as we left our hometown, headed for Michigan, I came to the realization that I loved her, very much. Finally, as we drove into our new home's driveway, we started settling in. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. It's been almost 4 months since we left, and I can still remember the trip up here. Anyways, Caitie(her nickname) began to have problems with her boyfriend of 5 months. So, she started calling more and more, sometimes at 4 AM, sometimes at 2 PM. I made it clear to her that she wasn't alone in this fight. I started leaving my cell phone on my pillow, it's ringer volume maxed, right next to my head, just in case she called. My longing, after a month or so, became almost unbearable. I dreamed about her(and still do), and she occupied my every thought. Night and day, there wasn't one thing that didn't remind me of Caitie. This tread continued until finally, a few weeks ago, I finally told her how I felt. She had told me of things that her boyfriend did to her, that didn't make him seem worthwhile. Having recently acquired my first job, I figured, that if I could get her to realize how bad Jeff(her boyfriend) was treating her, maybe, just maybe, I could fly down there and be with her. Well, she isn't ready to give up on him, yet. Now, I feel like things are different between us, even though she argues they aren't. I guess what I'm really asking here is for any suggestions some of you may have, so that maybe I can turn this whole situation around. I really feel bad even admitting my feelings, fearing that I may have lost the bond we had forever..
