rollercoaster

life is like a roller coaster it goes at all different speeds and lengths, when everything is running smoothly and going according to Gods plan your going up hill and its a smooth ride because everything is working properly. but when things are going horribly wrong and your letting the devil in then your going down hill and a lot of the time youll get a head ache from the rush, and that rush is almost as if your caught in sin, you like it for a minute but there is a problem, something always gets you in the end; like a headache, or maybe even a tummy ache. life has its ups and downs, but with God around its always and uphill smooth sailing ride! "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

challenges we go through!

Friday the 25th of June, i was with street level witnessing in minneapolis downtown on hennepin and 10th street! when i felt like God was telling me to go talk to a young gentlemen on the bench, so i told my leader who i was with, and they gave me the go ahead! :) so as i was walking i felt like God was saying " no matter what happens ill always be with you " and im like okay thanks God i already knew that but thanks anyways! so i walked up to him and i asked if i could sit on the bench with him and hes like sure! so i did. and i was just sitting there for a minute and im like God what should i say, i have nothing right now, so i introduced my self, " hey my name is Kierra, im out here witnessing and you seemed to be a little bored/ lonely so i thought i would come and talk to you, do you come here often? he replied " i live here im homeless" i said "o im so sorry, do you have a job or anything? " " he said" "yeah i sometimes Kill people" i thought okay this guy is either A. crazy or B. he maybe is in the military. but i didnt think much of it so i kept talking to him, and i said do you have a family, all of a sudden he went silent. and i felt like at that moment i was supposed to tell him that Jesus loves him and that God can forgive you from your past, and then i told him also about the Cross and the significance for it! AND every now and then he would flash his shirt/jacket open and i was like what in the world, and i kept telling him Jesus loves him, all of a sudden i see he has a Gun in his jacket/ shirt and i see he is reaching for it so i grab his arms and i look at him in the eye saying " God doesnt want you to do this, and i dont think you do either, Jesus loves you" and he started tearing up! and then he reached again for the Gun and i did the same as before telling him Jesus loves him, and that God doesnt want him to do this ect. and then all of a sudden he grabs the Gun and points it at me, and i keep telling him Jesus loves him, Jesus loves you, he can forgive you. and he leans over to whisper somethign in my ear and he says " i killed my family" and then he cocks the gun, and i think to myself either im going to live with Jesus today or God your going to protect me, so i keep telling him JEsus loves you Jesus loves you Jesus loves you, and then all of a sudden i hear God telling me, " your done here you did all that you could do" and he put the Gun away and as i was walking away i told him jesus loves him, i later found out that he had 5 or 6 guns with him hidden in the bushes and all i can say is God was with me that night!

Jeremiah 29:11

As i sit and wait upon the Lord i think to myself; whats my purpose? God has helped me grow and if it wasnt for God i would have been so out of it, God restores, i was wanting to know what plans God has for me, but then i read Jeremiah 29:11 (my favorite verse) 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' this verse is so true, God has me in the palm of his hand and he will never let me go, and he will never forsake me :)

fun fun fun in the sun

so my mother just got back from her trip and she had an amazing time! and now im listening to music. outside with my family, and on my comp. what could be better?

thoughts, thinking, over loaded

The rain is pooring, my heart is pounding, the storm is racing, my head is screaming, Is it just me? Or is it the world? My heart is breaking to pieces. Cant u see that? I put a mask on... Not to hide from myself, but from the world! How can someting so small get so big? Find your hope in christ.! I think im drowning, i want to break the spell that u created, your something beautiful, a contradiction, i wanna play the game, i want the friction, you will be the death of me. Bury it, i wont let u bury it, i wont let u smother it, and i wont let u murder it. Time is running out. And im just screaming out. I wanted freedom bound and restricted i tried to give u up but im addicted. You will squeeze the life out of me. Time is running out. why does the same thing always seem to be coming back? i feel like im the only one struggling, but i know there are so many others going through some of the same things i go through! well lets see; feeling hopeless, wondering what is Gods plan for ME, wanting to do more in the world but i know im not SUPERMAN. God what do YOU for me? what is YOUR plans for me? Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Why this verse?
This verse has special meaning to me it has a powerful message and was intrumental im my decission on excepting christ into my life. For many years, I took the words in the verse at face value. It wasn't until I heard someone questioning the meaning that I decided to do some research of my own. I found quite a few blogs and sermons[1][2][3][4] (and even an article on eHow[5]) about the context and true meaning of the verse.
It is important, imperative actually, that we understand the context of passages from the Bible. In studying the context of Jeremiah 29:11, I feel I have a better understanding of the true meaning. Even if you omit the contextualized words "plans to prosper you and not to harm you", I believe this verse still has a very powerful message: God knows us personally, has a plan for us, and allows us to find hope in Him. im leaving you with just a few words; find hope in christ he will help you through your trials! God bless

family, friends,happiness,peace!

how does it work? i have such a good family, and my friends are all very kind, when im feeling sad, all i have to do is talk to them and i know everything will be ok! for example; my awesome and amazing brother Ryan, i was on the phone wiht him, and i was feeling kinda down, and as soon as i was done talking to him, everything seemed to be going great, my brohter is always there for me, and i can count on him for anything, hes a great person, and i know i can look up to him, its funny becasue when i was yougner i wanted to be exactly like him, go to the same school as him, be as funny as him, be smart like him, and when i did somehting wrong i would get so mad, but then after a while i relized that everone is there own person. and that God made you perfect just the way you are. thank you so much ryan for being my brother! your an amazing brother and i admire you so much... i love you :)

is it just me?

have you ever felt like a thousand pounds have just been dropped on your shoulders? and feeling completely and 100% empty, and scared,sad all at the same time? i thought everything was fine, atleast thats what you told me! were you really telling me the truth? or was it all just a big lie? i sit in silence, praying that all wil be fine, but i cry waiting for the time to pass, is this really reality, am i really awake or is it all just a dream? When the rain is falling, my heart is pounding, just want to cry, dont want to die! The pains still here screaming in my ear! Is it too late? Ill just have to wait. so when im sad or angry i write down poems describing my feelings or maybe illl write a song, it makes life so much easier, rather then getting angry with God, or my family, or even my friends, i write my feelings down in a notebook and i give all of my trials to God, becasue "with him all things are possible" when i wrote these i wasnt talking about anyone, but when i do write poems, or sayings i write alot of the times a perspective of myself, and thinking why did i do this, or that, or how can i make i difference in the world? well even though today wasnt the best day! there is alwasy Tommorow.
