Day 44 (6/29/10)
Why don't we share christ? Because we afraid. Why are we afraid? We have Jesus....right?
We're Afraid of the unknown.
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. ~Hebrews 11:1 (New Living Translation)
We have to trust god will take care of us, and do his work weve been called to do to bring him glory.

Day 41 (6/26/10)
Ok so I told you guys i'd explain the Macrobiotic. So first of all I'd like to exlpain this is in no way because I believe I am fat. I do, however, believe my diet is unhealthy.
So the macrobiotic heals the body. Really it does. Theres been people diagnosed with untreatable cancers and illnesses and were told to go home and die, yet, theyve gone on this diet, and its healed them. How is this possible?
The american diet today, as you've most likely already discovered, is extremly unhealthy. Well, the typical human body is EXTREMLY acidic. Which is where cancer survives. Rather than alkaline. Which is what this diet consists of. And cancer cant live in alkaline. But the American Cancer Society doesnt recommend people using diet, theyd rather drip poisons (aka, chemo) in ill innocent people and watch them die. I'll talk about that tommorow.
I know we dont have cancer. BUT its not just cancer its all around health, your hair becomes healthier, your skin EVERYTHING. (which=no more acne!) Im not sure when were going on this diet. But i'll keep you guys updated.

Day 37 (6/22/10)
I cannot stress enough how much I believe God gave us eachother for a purpose.
1st Corintians 12:12-27 (New Living Translation)
"The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit. Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.” In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen, while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity.This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. "Paul wrote this to the Corinthians to explain ranking people is WRONG. Humans tend to mentally rank people by how worthy they believe they are, which usually reflects on the way they treat the lower ranked people, which leaves them feeling worthless. But if you look at that passage you learn we all fit together in harmony, like the human body, and we all need eachother. So why do you treat people the way you do? WHY does the
For those of you who are not aware, my mom works at Chick-fil-a and she shared a true heartbreaking story that happened just yesterday. A man came in and asked for some water, clearly homeless, dehydrated, and starving. The workers were happy to bless him with it, and they also brought him a meal. Teary-eyed he said "Thank You".
WHY should that have to happen?!?! Im sure theres alot of christians who are aware of his condition, why dont you help him?!?! And It doesn't even have to be that serious of a case, im talking on a day to day basis. We all see people who could be helped out, why dont you help?
After all, we can't do it without them.

Day 36 (6/21/10)
People may be right in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their heart ~Proverbs 21:2
Incase you haven't already noticed, we live in a world where everyone has thier own opinions. And everyone always has to be right. Mankind can't come close to the thought of being wrong. But where does your perspective come from? HOOPEFULLY it always lines up with gods word. Ask God to help you change your perspective.

Day 35 (6/20/10)
If you try to hang on to your life you'll lose it, but if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. ~Matthew 16:25 (New Living Translation)
On the radio they have this thing called "word on the way" which Is basically just a daily bible verse read from a popular artist. Anyways this happened to be one of them.
The verse sounds almost like a riddle, and it is something we could pass easily without getting the significance of what is being said. When Jesus said if we try to save our lives, we will lose our lives, what he was saying was, if we insist on keeping control of our lives, we will absolutely destroy our lives.
The context around the verse is even more humbling.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?Is anything worth more than your soul? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.” ~Matthew 16:24-28
In essence, Jesus was giving up his life that we might have life, and that He might return to the Father to really reclaim his life as the Son of God. He was giving up his life and telling his disciples they must follow him in dying as well.
We all want to preserve our lives, it is a natural human tendency. Usually though, we also take it further than that, and want to run our lives the way we want to. We want to be our own gods, the controller of our own destinies.
Remember in the Garden of Eden, the serpent told Eve “you will be like God”, Since then mankind has tried to be his own god. Jesus is saying, if we continue to live like that, in rebellion, instead of preserving what we are holding onto (our life) we will destroy it.
Jesus calls us though, to something much more radical.
Just as he was headed for the cross to be crucified, he also calls us to be crucified. Not with wood and nails, but in our spirits by faith as we identify with his crucifixion and resurrection.
He says to us, if we try to hold on to our lives, any of the things we hold on to that give us a sense of existence or security, we will end up losing not only what we thought was good, but our lives as well.
So really, we must die to live. Let go of what we once held so closely to us (you know, the things that used to matter...) for something far greater. As Galations 2:20
says.......
My old self has been crucified with Christ.It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me ~Galations 2:20 (New Living Translation)

Day 34 (6/19/10)
Ok guys I hope you've all had the oppurtunity to experience the feeling i'm currently feeling. An Incredible peace and contentment has come over me.
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” ~Matthew 11:28-30

So at the moment I am very impatient. I want so badly to be ungrounded and free to enjoy my summer vacation. But it was my mistake I got here. And I know i'm blessed to have parents who love me enough to punish me. But as I said in my last post, sometimes we just need to be cleaned.

Day 33 (6/17/10)
So i've discovered maybe I don't have this christian thing down like I thought I did. I've been going through the motions. Playing church, listening to christian music, posting bible verses on twitter, wearing christian t-shirts... All the typical, media-portrayed christian act. All of the things listed are GOOD (well except "playing church") But it is not the true christian experience.
I remember once when I was about 6, my mom saw how messy my room was, she got super mad and commanded me to clean it, so I took the easy way out. Since I was lazy, and shoved everything into my closet. It was "clean". So It came to be bed time, and as my mom went to get my pajamas out of my closet, she discover what I had done.
I feel this relates to my life as a christian, christians LOVE to hide things. They love it. They make everything APPEAR spotless and pure, but its all just an illusion. I dare you to look in thier closet....trust me you'll change your mind....
So sometimes we need to let God TRUELY clean us. Because we can't do it ourselves.
My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. ~Proverbs 3:11-12
Alot of times Its hard to remember that when God's cleaning us. So we choose to blame god, Rather than thanking him.
Whats in your closet?

Day 32 (6/16/10)
Illegal Immigrants.
We all have our views about them. I'd like to share mine and back up my beliefs with what the bible teaches.Which, if your a christian, should determine your outlook on everything.
The topic of illegal immigration is always a sticky subject. Because, on one hand, they are here illegally, and using our tax dollars while doing so. But on the other hand they are also God's children. We've all heard "Love your neighbor as yourself" and "Love your enemies, Pray for those who persecute you" at least a million times. But those two verses mean everyone, not just people who are in your country legally. You might be also thinking "well the bible also says not to break the law, but they still do!" I dare you to check out Levitus 19:33-34.
"Do not take advantage of foreigners who live among you in your land.The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God."
WOW. If that doesnt give you an answer i'm not sure what will. And since these foriegners are already here, and theres nothing you can do about it, shouldn't we treat them kindly anyways?
And even if you aren't a christian, you should still agree, everyone deserves respect.

Day 31 (6/15/10)
Hey Everybody its Stacy. I know, I know, this is going to be put up late. I'm very aware of this and I apoligize sincerely. Please don't grill me.
The reason these are going to be up late is because I got grounded. Why? basically why im grounded is due to my attitude problem. I've lost my cell phone and my laptop. If these blogs wernt online it wouldnt be that big of a deal. But it is. So I'll be writing these blogs down on paper; then when I've earned back my computer privelages back, i'll transfer it.
I don't know how long i'll be grounded. It could be all summer possibly. I'm not allowed to ask. Being grounded isnt actually all bad. It has allowed me to be stripped of all my materialistic things that get in the way of me doing what needs to be done.
Thats all for today.

Day 30 (6/14/10)
Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. -Ecclesiastes 9:10 (New Living Translation)
I touched on this awhile ago (refer to day 10) but now that i've found this, it expresses my thoughts on this where my words fail. But my question to everyone, well those who follow christ, is WHY do we fear man over christ? Should it not be the other way around?!?!
At the end of it all we'll be in his arms, well, spirtually speaking, we are right now. But we'll be in heaven then.
It seems so tragic that everyone under the sun suffers the same fate. That is why people are not more careful to be good. Instead, they choose their own mad course, for they have no hope. There is nothing ahead but death anyway -Ecclesiastes 9:3 (New Living Translation)
But as christians that should not be our mindset, this explains why:
Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.
-1 Timothy 4:12 (New Living Translation)
That is the reason why I act the way I act, you should to. As my youth pastor said, you may very well be the only representation of christ anyone ever gets. And I sure know I want everyone to experience this love, compassion, and security that I have the oppurtunity to experience everyday. Set an example.

Day 26 (6/11/10)
So I hope you guys remember when I was talking about perspective two days ago. Well I found this quote from Buddha that went along with it, YES I am a christian, but I think this lines up with Gods word perfectly. Anyways, heres the quote:
"The mind is everything.
What you think, you become."
-Buddha
And I just thought it was perfect for my blog! Its so true!
We all have these mental clips we play over and over, and its great, but the thing is *what* are the clips? THOSE are youre desires! THOSE are youre very personal thoughts. Buddha put it well, what you think, you become. Dont let materialistic items, lust, or people consume your thoughts, It will consume you.
Think about what you think about.
