Ok, well I didn't exactly plan to post this. I was going to post a thing about fun summer activities.(which I might post later) But I really, really have to tell you about this. I think it's amazing. Here it goes-
So today is Father's Day, yay! Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. It was also church today. And during the Sunday school hour, we were watching a video about some Christians in Vietnam. You know, you always hear about persecution, and such. But these Vietnamese, they have a huge heart for God. They worship him with all they are. They give up everything to follow him. They suffer beatings, and worse for not denying Christ. They don't fight back. They have this on fire passion for God. I think it's amazing that they are going to give everything up, be beaten, and persecuted for God. They lose their families. And it seems to me that sometimes we're afraid to speak up, and not give in to peer pressure because we do not want to be made fun of, or get kicked out of a group or such. But these Christians, they give up everything, I think that we all can learn from them, they suffer from a lot. We should be able to stand up for Jesus as free Americans. We need to be ready. We need to step out of our comfort zone. The time is going to come when persecution is big. I have no idea how big. But we have to be able to suffer from little things before we can face the bigger persecutions. It's going to happen some day. I have no idea when, but it will. Are you ready? Are you willing to stand up for God with everything you are? Would you deny him if someone put a gun to your head, and would kill you for being a Christian? You can ask and ask all these questions, but really think about it. Pray for these people who suffer from violence because of their faith. They are your brothers and sisters! God loves you so much. Goodness, it's overwhelming.=) smiles,

Yesterday was the last day of school. It was alot of fun, but it had sad moments. It was amazing!Everyone had their ipods out, and this one guy brought a speaker. People all put their ipods in and there was a "dance-off." Not alot of people really danced, but oh well. And everyone was just talking and having conversations and such. That was the good part.It was really sad when I would look at the clouds and be reminded of Jesus. The clouds also reminded me of my friend who moved to another state on the 20th. The 22nd was the last day of school. Then my other friend and I were listening to my brother's ipod. And the song "From the Inside Out" came on. We both started crying. Jesus love is just wonderful to soak in. Thanks to my brother who made us feel better by putting on a funny song.. (by the way, he's not really my brother, but he's like a brother to me)The tears came out after more laughter when it was time to leave. Everyone gave everyone the last hugs and good-bye's. I think that I will still miss those people, cause some may not come back next year. I'm going to miss them so so so so so so so very very very super super much! haha. Now I must be off. If anyone of them read this- (I miss you alot if that's not obvious. You are superb and great friends.)much love,starry_amazement
Hey all! I just wanted to let y'all know that I have another blog about music, poetry, verses, and just fun stuff. I'm not sure if I told you this but well I told you again. =) (http://music-songs-verses-starryamazement.blogspot.com/) God has been so good to me, I feel so free from fear! He replaced that fear with comfort, hope, encouragement, strength. He is amazing! It's good to know that we are truly free in him!! He is beautiful, he is my all! I think that I could probably praise God forever, because the list of his amazing grace, and just him goes on forever! I think that song is so true, "I could sing of your love forever."God is really worth our praise and our lives and all that we are. He loves us so much that it's incontainable. The reason I always want to write about my spiritual life is because I CANNOT contain it inside of me. There's nothing to hide! There's nothing to be ashamed of. I know that I'm not a perfect person, and I really don't want you to read my blog thinking, "Oh, well she's just a perfect little church girl, there's nothing wrong in her life, maybe God's only pouring blessing to her." No!!! Not true, I am not perfect! I know I sin so much! I know anyone reading this sins, because "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." I think I am so far from perfection. I have to realize that when I cannot find myself, I find myself in him. That's my goal, that's who I strive to be like. He's beautiful, and I am far from it. I'm not saying that I'm far from God like an unbeliever would be, but far from his amazing perfection. God wants to pour his blessings on YOU! Yes you! And you can't just keep it to your self, share the blessings with others, and you'll just overflow with it! That's exactly why I created this blog because I can share the blessing that has been poured onto me. It's a wonderful feeling. (Listen to I will go by Starfield, I'll post it on my other blog soon!) Okay, well its time for me to say until next time!Peace, (Y) <>

Hey everyone! Hope all is well with you! I'm really sleepy right now and decided I'd post something. I really don't know what, but hey, it keeps me entertained... I finished cleaning up my desk. It actually has alot of stuff on it! Wow, I put it all in boxes. Yawn, so much for the entertaining, I really need Starbucks! Doesn't that sound yummy?!? Ha ha! Anyways, I kind of did Spring cleaning with my clothes. I went through my closet getting rid of the things that I didn't wear and didn't fit. I'm busy replacing my old size 6 - 6 1/2 shoes with 7s. My feet feel big! Well for me anywhoo.. =) It felt really good to get rid of all this stuff that I didn't need. My room got so clean... Well, yesterday and the days before that. (clearing off my desk sure made a BIG mess! but painting the desk and working with it is going to be fun, hopefully) I love the feeling of renewal, it's refreshing! I feel free of the junk that took up space in my room and now I feel spacious! Mmmm! Oooh, also about the shoes, it was fun trying them on, hey I'm a girl, shoes are fun! Even though I know that some of the most outrageous shoes I will NOT wear, it's fun to play around in. I loved it when I was little I would always play dress-up, house, kitchen, or dolls. It was the days of princesses! I love freedom! =)Oh, some of you might be wondering where I get my pictures for all these posts on this blog and my other blog. I get it at glittergraphics.com and some of the pictures I took. (like my profile picture...) Glitter Graphics have some great pictures, but not all of the pics are appropriate or clean. I don't authorize them... lol So just a little warning before you go jumping all over the site. =)Well, this post is going to be really random... Sorry for jumping all over the place! But most of the time I talk about my spiritual life, I thought I'd talk about just my general part of life. But you see, my general part of life is my spiritual life. God is my foundation for my life. That's how it's the general part of my life. Well, moving on! Peace out!starry_amazement
Everyday is a new glorious day! For me it's like renewal- renewed joy, love, strength, hope, grace, happiness, amazement, and oh, so much more! Every morning, outside, birds chirping and flitting about aimlessly in a fast soar, the breath of fresh air, the taste of new beginings for the day; I find it beautiful. Some of the most beautiful things in life are small and simple, but they have an extravagant significance. Like knowing that it only took one drop of Jesus's blood to clear my sins away. One drop, small, simple, but extravagantly significant. I hope that whoever reads this takes this to heart like I like to do. Blessings!starry_amazement
Jesus is just amazing! My display name is starry_amazement because God is just so good! I get starry eyed, or in daydream mode whenever I just look out the window and think of Jesus! He's so beautiful! I am just shocked in amazement! =)Yesterday was just filled with hectic and chaos, I was sort of confused about what was going on. I really needed to know something, so I said to God: Just show me something. I'll rely on you and put my trust in you
It wasn't coincidence that I was eating conversation hearts. I happened to get a little candy heart out, and it said, "I love you." I heard the song "How he loves us." AMAZEMENT!!! =) Ok... now I felt like crying! Jesus can speak to people in soooo many ways!
My goal right now is to love people with a God love. Some people don't experience the joy that I have right now and always! So all you Jesus lovers out there, let me hear you say an "AMEN!" I think that if our world really cared for all the hurting people out there and tried, just tried to love everyone with a God love, there would be no more hurt.Some people who don't believe in God, they don't want to. They believe that Christians are hypocrites! Well, of course that can be true. You really have to act on what you say! You can't be at church going,"I love Jesus," and somewhere else be saying, "You're dumb, you're retarded...." How is that showing love? How? I know that I probably acted that way. I didn't say the words, but I acted it. Actions and words need to go together!So this blog is basically my world journal. I have real journals, but that's more like my thing. This is my way of going out to the world, and just telling them. It's like I'm having a conversation with the world! I just love this, getting it out to whoever reads this! Thinking that I can make a difference, well, we all can. It just starts with you. Impacting our world
Jesus love,
