I hope you all had a great Valentine's day :))

Yes I hope you all enjoyed Valentine's day with your beloved..:)
sigh, with no man in sight, this day is usually hard for me, and reminds me of times with my ex fiance, BUT today was better.
i hanged out with my best friend who is single also, then we went to a bible study and DUG into God's word and then i went to visit my mom and stepfather!
so it was a beautiful day :)
But honestly i want to remind everyone that this is a commercial holiday, they sell those Valentine's candies, hearts, teddy's for a reason, sadly it's to make money and to make a profit ... AND i believe that my future husband should honor me and love me each day each day of the year not just on Valentine's day :)
not to berate the Valentine's day because there is some beauty in it, people celeberating their love ..giving flowers to each other..going out to dinner..YES all these are great..BUT look at John 3:16..God so loved his one and ONLY son that he let HIM die on a Cross to save us from all our sin and to save us from ourselves..ISN"T this love better tons better than any love on this earth?? :))

Jesus wants to give us a Valentine's day each and every single day of our life. What i mean by that is that Jesus wants to lavish HIS love upon us each and every single day just like on Valentine's day..actually even more, Because He's our Father, our Provider, Our beloved groom..HE wants us to love HIM each day of our life too, and not just on Sunday..Sundays are only 1 day a week...won't you give him each day, each hour, each momment?? That is the only true way to live..And it's sooo worth it :)
we were talking about this at my other new bible study in Stratford on Thursdays and i was saying how sometimes i wonder IF IF this way is truly best..Yes i know the World is dirty, soiled, and there is nothing good in it, BUT i see so many friends from work who live lives full of world's definition of "fun" they party, drink, cuss, sleep around, get truly wasted. And after seeing just how sad they are by the next day I know that's NOT the way to live and be truly happy.
BUT sometimes i am a little envious of all the friends and guys they meet.
Please pray for me about that that I only concentrate on Christ and that i pray for my future husband daily and that i prepare for him.
i want to be a good wife to my future husband. I want to give him glory and GOD glory first of all, him second..BUT i just need not to give up!

Please pray for me in this time, and please PLEASE pray that i am a good example to my acquaintances and friends at work..they need God's love to shine upon them, and i feel like I am "Jesus" to them, that i am the only one they see that can show Christ to them...in skin and bone, i have a really good friend at work and i feel i am the only one in her circle of friends who is Christian..i need good tips on how to show her God's love without being pushy and preachy..she doesn't like that, i even invited her once to my church she said maybe sometime she'll come..i just need wisdom about that :)
so please pray for me to show her God's love in the best way HE knows how :)

Also before i go, i gotta go because i gotta get up in 7 hours at 6:30AM i need to work at 7:30AM

i wanted to report some good news about my running, i am now able to run 5 minutes and 20 seconds without stopping, when in the beggining i could only run 1 minute and 30 seconds..I tripled my speed in around 3 weeks!
Marathon here i come :))

And Andrew thank you soo much for your prayers. I really appreciate it.
He sent me a comment, so i wanted to thank him for his prayers..i really appreciate it :)
Thank you!

well enough rambling for now!

Have a great night and sleep well everyone!
Sweet dreams!

talk soon!

To God be all glory!

In Christ...

Hellooooo to all...so sorry i've been gone, I am back :))

Hi everyone.....i am so glad to have a few minutes to sit down and type here..i've missed blogging, i know i've been MIA for close to a month, many many things happened this month..:)
first off i started college again, this time i take 2 classes NOT 1!! :)
second of i've been working out more than ever, still not the 4-5 times per week, but much more intensely and 3 times usually!
i took up another sport i enjoy :))
guess what it is? RUNNING!
i am in love with it..i think God gave me honestly a liking and a body to run..so i am doing it!
I feel the Lord wants me to run a half marathon on June 28th, that gives me 4 1/2 months to train..so i am going to train like a lil monster so i can finish it..i will though do a 5K first, it's shorter a bit easier, if i can handle a 5K then i will do the half marathon in June..:)
i love running because i challenge myself all the time..and it's so rewarding to meet those expectations..Honestly it's more jogging than running...waling/jogging/running/walking etc
it's fun!

And in 2 weeks doing this i doubled my speed Praise God :)

when i first started doing this, i could run no more than 1 minute and 30 seconds without stopping ...NOW i can run 3 minutes and 15 seconds..I doubled my speed praise be to Him..i think i was born for this :)
i still gotta lose some weight though, lately i've been hungrier for some reason been eating more but so far i've mantained thanks to exercise!
i need to lose though and do some strength training so i can run the race!

So as you see i've been very busy that's why i have not blogged, but i've missed you all dearly!
That's why i am here to update..Please comment me all and tell me how ya all have been??

Also dear friends i have a request..:)

I am dealing with some stuff(garbage) from my past, some struggles and some inner problems..i talked to my pastor about it and he asked me to ask all my friends to pray for me because I'm struggling with my faith and i have felt a lot of spiritual attacks in the past 1-2 years..so i need victory from it, please just pray for my peace of mind and for the spiritual attacks to stop and for God's glory to be shown in all this...the only other thing i will say on this public blog about it is if any of you want to know a little more about all this, just email me i'll tell you more, maybe not all of it, BUT more than i can say on a blog :)

Please just pray for me to stay strong in Christ and to never abandon my faith :)

LOVE YOU ALL!
HUGS!

sorry i better go, i gotta get up tommorow at 6:30AM for work..:(

just meditate on Proverbs 3 and Proverbs 17:17 about friendship..and also Psalm 26 is beautiful too :))

The bible always teaches me so much, it the (WORD) has mended my heart and has soothed my soul in this trying and busy time!

please pray my dear blogging friends!

have a great and blessed and restful night!

Blessings and lots of HUGS!
