Hello everyone.
I have decided something. And i would like to share it with you. Last night God spoke to my sister in a powerful way. It wasn't something she necessarily wanted to hear. It was about giving up something. Giving up the time she spends on Facebook.
Well, when she told me this I thought about blogging. I don't have fb, but I sure waste a LOT of time on blogging. And I have noticed that it almost has a hold on me. Like it is hard to go a day without being on it. And that is not good. And I have decided to give it up. No, not delete all of my blogs yet. But I have decided to only come on here once a month. To only post once a month. Yeah it will be hard to keep up with commenting on all your blogs because I won't be able to read them all without having dozens of other blogs to read as well. But just bare with me.
I'm sooo not wanting to do this! Like I could wrestle with it for hours! But I know this is what God wants me to do. And I don't want to ignore Him. For I want to grow closer to Him. And He wants me to, too!
I have noticed blogging is like my own little world. Where I can talk about myself and what I've been up to. To share my "gifts" with you all. Where I can feel like I am loved by having 49 followers. Where I feel like I can connect with you all. And it's another place where I can let my light shine for my King. But, there is many other places I can let my light shine.
I need to break this stronghold and let God work in me. I need to have real encounters with the Living God instead of having "encounters" by looking into the screen of this here laptop. Idols don't come looking like gold cafes that people bow down to. Idols come like something you really enjoy in life. Like the computer to me. No, you might not bow down to it, but in away you worship what ever it is. You spend to much time with it. Let go. Let go and grab onto God.
So, to warn you all, I am getting off for awhile. I am going to try my hardest to only get on once a month. Yikes, it's going to be hard. But if it means dropping everything for God, then I'm letting go. Could you guys please pray for me? For I know the devil is really going to be battling with me over this, and i need to ignore the hunger for wanting to get back on and stand with God. Thanks. So, hope you all understand. Goodbye folks!
God bless!

Need your help people with something!
Hey! Does anyone know why it won't let me look at my comments?!?!?!?!!?!?!???? When I click on any of the comments on any of my posts it won't load but stops! But I can look at the post! But not the comments! Does anyone know why??? I tried to look at the two comments on my last post but it wouldn't let me! So I had to delete the post about JostieFlicks :(((( But I re-posted it just now. So whoever commented on that post (there was two comments) could you comment again on my new JostieFlicks post and try to say what you in my last post! haha! Sounds strange, but I would truly LOVE to know what you guys said! When it says that there is a comment in my post I freak out all excited and it makes my day! But now :((( it won't let me look at any of them :((((( Anyone know why? Hey! I just figured out something! If I go to my settings and hit "comments" it lets me look at them all! So DO leave me a comment and I will be able to look at them that way...

My Novel. And next novel I am thinking of writing!
Hello dear blogging friends! I hope you are all well today and having a splendid afternoon!
I am having a very good day. Enjoying the warm weather and blue sky! Too lovely. It surely doesn't feel like January. It feels like Spring. All the birds are singing their summer songs again! Very cool.
I am happy to tell you all I finally finished my book! The one I have been writing since August! No not the story I told you about a few posts ago. Not the book called "Defeater in Christ". I finished that book about a week ago! No, I finished a 130 page novel I have been writing since August! I finally finished it after a long time of sitting on my bed and writing. The novel name is called "Running the Race". Interesting name isn't it. It's not like a real race. But the race we are all running our spiritual race. And we have to learn to run the race looking only straight ahead at our Great God. And one day we will win the race and be face to face with God.
That is what my book is about! And I'm excited I finished it today!My forth finished novel!!!!! I'm super excited! And now I will take about a month off of writing any story then I will start a new novel! Who knows what about and what era it will be in :P I was thinking of
making the era now-a-times era. So it is like now. With cars and all that fun stuff! I was thinking of making it about a girl who worked in the Police Office as a Dispatcher (if that's even how you spell that). A Dispatcher is the people who take the 911 calls.
And I thought it would be cool to write a book about a girl who is one! I would have to learn more about it though :P
I don't know if I have ever told you all, but I want to be a Dispatcher one day. I want to take the 911 calls. Now, you might all be wondering who on earth I would want to be a Dispatcher! And I have had several people I know tell me they could not see me being one because they think I get stressed out. And pointed out several other people who would be perfect as a Dispatcher. And that was a bit disappointing and a bit hurtful. But! I will not let their words get me down! They will not steal my dream away!
I am reading the book Dangerous Wonder by Michael Yaconelli. (A very good and well done book btw) It's about childlike faith. And in there he talks about how we have all had dream stealer's in our life. Where people tell us our dream is dumb or it will never happen. And that is how a lot of us turn from having a childlike faith to dull like the world. Because people have let us down. And how we need to still have that exciting childlike faith! And live exciting lives for Christ!
Anyway, that is why I am not letting their words get to me. Oh, and let me explain why I want to be a Dispatcher. I want to be a Dispatcher because first, I have always been so interested in their work. i have always been so interested in what Police Officers do and stuff. I use to want to be a Police Officer. But, again, people have stole that dream and said I should NOT be one. And convinced me to not want to be one anymore...Haha, now, I can't picture myself being a Police officer...:) My Uncle was one for a long time and I always loved hearing stories from him. But now, I know that is a really ruff job. Practically you are working with darkness. And all the evil in the world. ANYWAY!
Back to why I want to be a Dispatcher. Second why I want to be one is because I feel like God could really use me to witness to people even over the phone who are going through something scary or painful. I could really help them. There is always away to witness to people. And God can make those ways happen. And I feel like that job would be away to witness to people. And share the gospel with them. So yes, after a long, LONG post of rambling :) I will end this post before you all fall asleep! :P
In the beginning of this post I was so proud of myself because I thought it was going to be a short post...but now....ahem....it's not too short anymore....sorry.... :) If you even got this far I congratulate you! ;) And hope you will comment telling me what you think of this post!
Well, good bye, I think it is time for a ginger cookie and some milk! Bye! Off I go!
God bless!!!

The New Year.
Hello fellow friends! Hope you are all well and enjoying the new year! 2012! Wow! Sorry it has been a bit since I've posted :) Been really busy! Before I start this post out telling about the new year I would like to thank all of you for your wonderful comments on my last post! You girls are too sweet! It has been so long since I have gotten SEVEN comments! You all made my week! And made the new year just a bit more special! :) I'm glad you all like my story and I am glad to tell you I have finished my story already! :D I planned to make it a very short story as it is :) There is 11 pages to be exact :)
Anyway, are you all excited about the new year?! Did you guys stay up until 12:00 AM? We actually did :) We spent the time in prayer and read Bible verses. It was really good. I think that is a perfect way to start out the new year. Praying and reading verses that glorify our Great and Awesome King.
So, what was 2011 like for you? Do you feel like you did a lot? No, I don't mean like you got all your shopping done or cleaned your room or something, I mean in your Spiritual walk with Christ? Like do you feel like you have grown a lot in your Spiritual Walk? Do you feel like God has been showing you a lot in 2011? Well, God has shown me a lot in 2011. He has shown me how important it is to reach out to people and share the love of Christ with them. To shine the light of Jesus where you go. My pastor said something really powerful thing morning. He said something like "Do you think people will remember you for decades after you have already gone home to Christ? Do you think people will remember you because what you've done? Or will they not even remember you for a year?" I don't know why but that go me! No, I don't mean I want people to remember me because I'm awesome (which I'm not :P) Anyway, I want to make a difference. I want to show people who Christ is! I want them not to remember me, but remember Christ in me. I want let my light shine!
I am excited to see what God has in store for my life in this year, 2012. What about you?
God bless!!!
