Happy thanksgiving Ya all :))

All right i know by now folks are used to me posting 1x per month but because it's thanksgiving i decided to try to post today as well. Maybe i'll get into the habit and post often..i wanted to wish you all a great Holidays and a great weekend But i also wanted to post thanks on my blog to God for all that this year has brought me...some of the thanks the short version i posted on www.ylcf.org under their latest post...but it's the short version, here is a longer version..grab some pop corn, tea, or coffee may it be, sit down and write some thanks of your own, add them as a comment so i know that others are still reading and so I know also what you are thankful for my friends :)) And please check out www.ylcf.org ..Lanier who wrote their latest post gave me the idea to post thanks..so yes go check their web site out :))

I am thankful for...

~~~~~~~I thank foremost the Lord for Himself, that He is there for me through it All, that His grace is just enough, that he always gives me no more than i can handle AND that i am still standing still standing as that song goes :) )

~~~ I thank the Lord for all my friends that i have made this year at my church in Fairfield, all the friends i met online through Christian blogs, and through friends that i just barely met on facebook 16-18 all within a span of 2 days a few days ago..It was amazing..i met a great Christian friend VIA facebook and she told a lot of her friends to add me, and it made me smile to have so many extend their hand in friendship, i was having such a hard day that day, and the Lord knew JUST how to bless me :)

~~~I also thank the Lord for the family i have, my family especially my mom and cousin have blessed me immensely this year, i don’t know what i’d do without them :)

~~~I also thank the Lord for the great Job he provided me with, i've been with my last company drug store for 5 years this December 12th, and i got a 5 year pin and i get to order a gift which is such a blessing, i will order earings..The Lord has been so good to ME with this job, there were days only a few years ago when i could hold a job for only about 1-3 months, so yes HE is GOOD all the time.

~~~I also praise the Lord for the college that i go to, and that this far so far my grades have been really good this semester in my 2 classes, yes it took me hard work, but by HIS grace and His hand alone have i been able to succeed in them and handle it well..:) thank you Lord.

~~~ Last but not least, I thank and praise the Lord for a great 12 step program that i found to help me with my eating and other problems that life brings...HE helped me find CR *Celebrate Recovery* and i am so thankful that i started a 12 work step study..it's going great..Thank you Lord.

** I also praise God for a healing and delivering that HE gave me this last Saturday at our church prayer/healing night...I felt so delivered and so healed..It was truly amazing, thank you Lord!!

I am also sure this list could get longer, but i will stop for now..because I am tired, and need to go to bed now!! I may go shopping tomorrow..:) but definitely not at 4 AM..probably more like at 10-11 AM :))

I love you all, i better go, you all have great Holidays and great thanksgiving!!

have a great weekend too!

Blessings & HUGS!! :)

This one is amazing about the virtuous woman, Paul Washer outshines in this one, he talks about how feminism and liberalism and sensuality is ruining the womanhood of today. That's so true...Wake Up America...girls like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears of nowaredays are woman like the ones in the bible that IN THE BIBLE were considered prostitutes and in Proverbs men were told to run from them..May we as girls and women show ourselves worthy of being called a LADY!! YES!!
That's basically the gist of what he said in that video..watch it :)

Here is a few more videos that I found that are a lot harder to take, they are both about being set apart for Christ and about how real hell is. And about how the church of today has watered the gospel down so very much that it's truly sad...here are those videos...:)

Be prepared for 17-20 minutes of real revelation!! We all need to listen to these wise words of these preachers. WE rarely EVER nowardays hear a gospel like the ones in the next 2 videos..so be prepared to cry out to God and ask for repentence dear friends because we all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God...in Romans..but there is Hope, there is Joy, there is Love, there is Forgiveness that the Lord gives us all..Lay Hold of it and never forget it!!!!
God is a just God but He also yearns to forgive you and wash you clean, he yearns to have a close relationhip with you..Turn and flee from all your sins and run To GOD wherever you are today we all need Jesus and HIS touch :) I felt his very dear touch in my own life this very saturday...we had a prayer/healing session in our church, it was amazing to meet the King of The Universe right there in the midst of my struggles, HE met me where I WAS, and gave ME love and forgiveness for all my sins and shortcomings HE DID...and i felt free and delivered MORE THAN EVER BEFORE!!!! It was amazing!! it truly was, i felt GOD move in my LIFE more than ever BEFORE because i finally LET HIM!! awww it was amazing...and i want to thank BRCC *Black Rock Congregational Church* for hosting this great event, i had such a blast...and felt reconnected to God like never before...it still doesn't mean that LIFE is easy or peachy for me, it can still get hard, but with God on my side nothing can stop me and like that verse in Corinthians says...""My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness..."" Such an amazing verse....:) It always comforts me...ok here are the 2 videos...but before i post them i need prayers, please pray for me dear friends, and if you EVER have prayed for me, pray hard, for 2 things in my life need to be amended and surrendered to God...:))

1. Food and it's hold on me is not good at all.
2. a manager situation, i have a manager in my line of work that i grew way too endeared with, i need prayers on that front HARD prayers, because he has a girlfriend, he is not Christian and he is my manager..please PRAY that i don't feel attracted to him, that GOD takes this from me and that i learn a lesson from all this, and pray that NOTHING not a thing in my speech nor my behavior nor manner nor my eyes reveal anything of the sensual sort..May i look on him and treat him and talk to him in a professional manner and see him as a brother, not anything beyond that..Just pray for wisdom and guidance in this, these are the 2 things i've struggled with HARD these 2 months..but now it's time for me to step out of the woodwork and ask for my bloggie friend's prayers and support!
Thank you all so much for being here for me through these months, you all mean so much to me, and you all know who you are :))

I LOVE YOU ALL!! pray for me!!

P.S. here are the 3 more links :)) i hope these videos convict you, and teach you and guide you to the TRUTH and to the WAY, the Only Way through Jesus Christ. Amen!!!

Hugs to all!! :)

1. Mr. Ravenhill's video~~7 minutes long





2. Video by different preachers about hell and about mediocre Christianity~~~~9+ minutes long




3. Nate Pfeil..He is really young and his video is truly amazing, it just seeps from the Word of God, and the first time i watched it i could NOT stand it because he was telling the very truth i did NOT want to hear, but his video will convict you like nothing else Please watch it, he is a very wise Young Man, he may not be a preacher, but he may be one day..:)




All right this is enough for now...i hope some still read my blog and will see it, please leave a comment I love comments!!
Love and Hugs to all!!
I miss you all :)

Blessings always!!

Hi need to check in and get prepared :)) for lots of videos :))

Hi my dear friends, i am sorry i've been so out of tune lately and not blogging much...i hope i still have some readers left to see and hear what i found on youtube today :)) Has anyone ever heard of Paul Washer??
He is amazing, his teaching (doctrine) very solid, and all his 8 videos convicted me in so so many ways.
I feel challenged after watching most of the 8 videos to live in purity, repetence, and seeking after God more than ever...Our salvation, professing our faith in the Lord is the start of our faith walk, not the end and be all of it.
It's not enough to stand before God one day and say Lord Lord Lord i (so many years ago) came to CHrist, i acknowledged your name, but No Lord i didn't truly walk in your ways the rest of the days of my life. IT"S SIMPLY Not enough to just come to Christ when you were a child, it's more than necessary folks to repent daily, hourly, and submit to the Lord, King of our Hearts. And to Surrender like my friend Katy says.
I am speaking to myself not only to all of you..There have been days that I didn't seek after God with all my heart, i am not perfect, but the worst of sinners saved by God's grace. Complete grace.
And there have been days that i wrongly took God's sacrifice on the cross for granted..I was a fool..a complete fool to EVER have thought that ""I am a sinner saved by grace, so now i have a license to sin, God will forgive me "" what foolish thinking..Like Paul Washer said in his last video...in my own words..It's a marking of a ungodly unChrist like church member to think that by Grace we are saved, so now we can sin, for there is grace...But the sincere Christian is the one that Will want to serve the Lord always and repent daily from all sins.

He didn't say it exactly that way, but you get my gist??
His videos are amazing..and no matter if you are a Calvinist or a more Liberal Christian anyone...ANY Christian can learn so much from his videos..and salvation and the pure gospel flows freely from his lips..too often nowaredays, preachers and pastors hand out a sugar coated gospel if you can call it that, the way they talk about God's grace and about an easy way of getting into heaven, and of How you just porfess once and it's enough...For remember my dear blogger friends, the way is narrow the way to heaven is narrow and very few enter those gates..Just watch his wonderful videos, everything i said will make much more sense after watching what he said..He said it so much better than i :))

If you can't watch all the 8 videos at once, then just watch 1 or 2 and then the rest this week..:) but definitely give it a listen :))

p.s. I am doing great, just really tired tonight...i can't give a complete update but everything is fine, i am getting ready for college, and very excited..and i had an eye procedure done last week, all is well..i still have to take a lot of eye drops, and my vision was blurry the first few days..now i am better, and worked this Friday :) well this is long enough..sorry this was so so long!

here are the 8 links to Paul Washer's 8 part series on youtube :)

Love you all!!! :))

Need to post these links :))

Hi all i am so so sorry i've not posted, life has been mundane nothing too exciting, i am doing well though..and back on track with W.W.
i have lost in 2 weeks 4.8 pounds i still attend celebrate recovery, but not as often because i don't want to overwhelm myself with too many recovery programs..what is working so much better than last time with W.W. is i don't see it as a diet in any way shape or form..I see it as better eating, as a lifestyle change :))
out of 2 weeks i had 1 off day..which was yesturday.
I ate 54 points..which is roughly 2,600 cal..that's my highest day that i had since i restarted but seriously i am not beating myself up!
today was a new day and i did so well!
30 points so far...1,500 cal..almost to the mark..i get 32--1600 daily's and a few extra a week :) Life threw a lot at me last week..i had a wedding of one friend :)) it was such a beautiful wedding.
They(Dana and B) they wrote their own vows for each other, it was so beautiful...also the bride came first..the groom came last..there was spiritual meaning behind it of course..the meaning that Christ will come LAST after his bride=the church..such a beautiful wedding! they the bride and groom even washed each others' feet..i was stunned as she sat down in her gorgeous white dress on the floor and started washing B's feet...that was such a cool way to show her submission and love for her beloved.
It was such an amazing wedding!
BUT at the wedding i did really well eating wise, it was such a victory for me not to have the food RULE ME in any way.
i loaded up on veggies, fruit, shrimp, cheese 4 cubes, 5 crackers, and some chicken..but i also enjoyed 1 slice of cake and half a glass of champagne!
i've been feeling that everything in moderation is ok...;)

that's why i love weight watchers, because you can have that cookie and not feel guilty!

another NSV*non scale victory* that i had 3 times in last 2 weeks...all 3 times i was craving dark chocolate, so i bought a Hershey bliss bar 160 calories..and i ate half, then i carried the other half for 3-4 days and then 4 days later i finished it, this never happened to me before..same thing today i only ate half!!

honestly i can't just give credit to myself, nor just to w.w. BUT to the Lord alone!
He was the ONE that carried me through today with a cheerful attitude :)
and He helped me not to give up on myself after my mini-binge yesturday!

the binge actually came out from something that my stepfather said, he said something very insensitive and very mean..So i didn't know how to deal with it, so i overate..BUT it's ok, i am only human!
What i learned from yesturday's experience is if this happens again, if someone offends me again to just to TALK TO God about it! not vent with food, but journal, read the bible, pray, also pray for that person..that's what i should have done..but i am a work in progress..not perfection..but just a work in progress..:)

And i know God will carry me far far...and I know He'll bring me everything i've prayed for...like a good husband, family, maybe a college degree..or a life in ministry, or missions!

i've already gone to New Orleans 2 years in a row..and next week, i am doing 2 days of ministering to the poor in Bridgeport, we'll be doing a lot of painting and other things to help them..because they are below poverty level..and they NEED Christ most of all! please pray for the poor all over the world, including the ones that live in Bridgeport, CT..and also please pray for Kate..

Kate is a 5 year old girl who has tumors in her brain, she's the sweetest thing..i don't personally know her or her family but i'm posting 2 of their Youtube Videos in my next 2 posts...i hope that they will upload..Wish me luck :)

But first here are the 2 links to articles on Boundless web site...2 web site links..here they are :))


http://www.boundless.org/2005/articles/a0001772.cfm


http://www.boundless.org/2005/articles/a0002083.cfm


Both articles are great!! :)
they are written by different authors and have a different style :) they are both a bit lengthy but you can glean so much from each one about being single and being content in God alone, one of them talks about how we walk with our baggage, and how we should walk and define us not by our dreams, desires, talents..but by our love and service to God :)) amen! please read them! thanks!

all right i'll shush up..sorry this was SOOO long!
i have not updated in so long..that's why it's lengthy!

Sorry!

Blessings always!

hello hello :))

Hi everyone, this will be a mini update..just to let you all know that i am alive and well i am ok..:)
I just felt the need to update 'cause i've not in so long, but it's late here around 1:30 and i need to get to bed..i just wanted to say that my eating is better some days worse..it depends..But i started attending a 12 step program which is Christian based :)) yay! the name of it celebrate recovery you can google it too, because they deal with any addiction or any hurt or hang-up! so please check it out!
they didn't pay me to advertise i swear LOL
i just love the program so much and can't say enough about it, they have so much fun too!
here is the way it goes :)

6-7 PM--dinner
7-8 PM--worship and lesson/dinner
8-9 PM-groups sharing open share for 3-5 minutes
9-9:30--socializing time and desert

and they also follow the 12 steps and 8 traditions this time i really may try to do the 12 steps..i am at the bottom of my rope. And i definitely needed help!
enough is enough i can not and won't binge every night!! i can't bare to look at the scale, my weight is higher than ever...it's 240-241!!! ahh!!

so i gotta snack less at night, so i devised my own plan thanks to my friend Stacey :)
she said that maybe having a sound meal around 11 PM because i sleep in very late..would do wonders and have me snacking less, so i tried it tonight, i had a turkey and ham sandwich around 11:15 and i am fine since then, no binges..i may have a small snack before bed..and go to bed happy :))
and my tummy not too full!

God is sooo good!

i am so excited for tommorow, i am going to a party of a friend's and next friday i have my New Orleans missions trip reunion and then 2 weddings this summer!
this should be a fun fun summer :)

all right time for bed in a few minutes!!

Please leave comments i love hearing from all my readers..And pls follow this blog too, i only have 2 followers :)
