Apr. 24, 2008 - Long time

OK, yeah I know I haven't posted in a very long time. But I guess that is because so much has happened. I have changed so much since my last post that the me then probably would not be recognized by the me now.... Ok, maybe not that much but it feels like it. I at least know that I have grown leaps and bounds in understanding of God. I have seen amazing things happen. Reversals of heart wrenching situations. God is a good God who doesn't wish to see us suffer. I have learned that I need to lean on God more and more. I hope life has been treating you good. Tell me about how much you have changed. Keep leaning on God, Becca

Dec. 6, 2006 - When God says step up

People of the world a time is coming soon.
A time of revivals. A time of supernatural overflow.
A time when God says step up.
When we try not do what we do but what God can.
Not on our own of course but with his help.
A revival of change is sweeping through the land.
We may have friends who hate us. We may have friend 
who will abandon us. Think us crazy and even persecute us.
We may be mocked and laughed at. But our time is here.
A time when we will step up.
When miracles will flow like water over a falls.
A time is coming when we must become
more than anything we could be on our own.
Advances in medicine will arrive.
New cures and new procedures.
Prosperity will fill the homes.
And all of the people will wonder why we are blessed.
People will wonder why we are happy when they are not.
They will see that we have something more.
And then they will want it too. We shall share it with them.
They will take it and share it with other.
The world is not getting better.
It is getting much worse. The people are in sin.
We must be a guide for the next generation.
Show them there is a much better way.
All this  will happen when God says step up.
-An Open Heart

Sep. 27, 2006 - Future Times?

A time is coming.
Change is a foot.
Things Are happening.
Are all of them good?
With cities growing big.
With shopping centers pouring in.
It is all good,right?
In our rush to be number 1.
Have we forgotten our Lord?
A focus on jobs and Cars.
Homes and sometimes a family.
We lose are focus on one thing.
The most important thing of all.
It's not about jobs.
Not about cars or homes.
It's about a child.
Asmall one in fact.
Born to a virgin girl.
It was the King.
Who didn't have granduer at all.
Shepherds stopped to see the sight.
But most didn't notice at all.
Please stop to see the wonderfull king.
Tak just moments thats all.
And you will find Yaweh the risen Lord.

-An open heart

Jul. 6, 2006 - long time

I am sorry that I am been gone so long. I have been to camp it was amazing. I have had my hair cut. and mom took a new pic so my profile pick is different. but sometimes I realize how much I care about the natural when I should be caring about the supernatural. Anyone ever had a time when they are having a spiritial battle and all you can think about is "I look like a wreck." Believe me I have been there and done that. I am discouraged none of my prayers being answered. A little depressed then I look in the mirror. "Ick I look terrible. Man I need to wash my hair. Oh speaking of hair I need a cut. When will people stop mistaking me for a 9 year old. My face looks so babyish." And I just continue to talk about myself in a bad way. And when I finish I feel worse then I did before. But one time when this happened I started thinking about the good things. Like that I don't have acne or pimples. That I am beautiful in Jesus's eyes. Then I feel better. When you get to the point when your thoughts are on Jesus the inner battle is easier. After I started thinking about God. I read my Bible and prayed about what I was going through. Though I still had doubts try to come to me I felt better. When ever life seems like it is letting you down. Or you feel like your praying to the wall don't give up. He is listening honest. You just need to listen for him. Sorry if I rambled a bit. but I just get a little carried away.

Apr. 18, 2006 - Someone besides me

Some times I am so self absorbed. It is like am dancing around sing It's all about me over and over again. Cause if I don't get to do something I was setting my heart on I mope. Though I know I am not the first one to do this and I am not the last
I still know that I was wasting time. Life isn't about just me.
Life is about all of thing alive. That means sometime I need to step back and look at the big picture. I need to think about someone besides myself.
If I took time and consitrated on how to make life better for my siblings.
If I took time to do something special for my mom.
If it was Coloring a picture or making her an oragami something or another.
I can tell you my time would be much better spent then at moping.
When I am mopy I need to step back and take a look open my eyes.
There are other people who are upset about something a lot more serious then missing there sleep over. Yet they are the ones passed by.
Sometimes on perpose sometimes not. Still they're problems are ignored while someone who is pouting about missing not getting to do something is comforted.
I and many other people need to think about others like the bible says to do.
I mean we are supposed to be like God.

Eph 4:24* And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

And God thought about others so much that he sacrificed his only begotten son.

Joh 3:16* For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Now if he is so willing to give up his son shouldn't we be willing to give up selfish thoughts? Shouldn't we consintrate on others first ?
We should all be thinking I need to worry about someone besides me.
When you helpe someone else then ofter your wories seem so much smaller.
So on that note. If anyone needs prayer I would be happy to pray for you.
Just E-mail me or leave a Comment and I will remember you in my prayers.
Good bye And God Bless.

-Rebecca

We went and listened to the band some more than we had to go to the house.
The house being where the girls were staying overnight.
We watched Yours mine and ours played games drank soda and ate pizza.
After that we stayed up talking till 2 AM.
I woke up at 6 AM and started getting ready for church.
We ate at about 7:30. We had Eggs, Bacon, Biscuts, Waffles and Orange juice.
Then at 8:30 we left for church. Church ended a little around 9:45 or 10.
We Got on the bus to head back home.
We ate around 1 PM at Wendy's and reached our youth building at 4 PM.
We started prepare for our night of the Spring Breakout.

Then we went to our houses.
It was so Cool! I had a great time.

Feb. 2, 2006 - Will they remember me.

Will they remember me if I died today?
Did I make a big difference, could anyone say?
Would anyone remember this child of God's death?
Would I be forgotten right after my death?

(chorus)
Tell me I want to know if I am missing something.
I should be doing all that I can.
Yet it seems that I don't matter at all.
Can you tell me why I am not getting anywhere?

Will they remember me if I died today?
Did I do my best?
Or did I leave it to the rest of the world?
Did I tell my friends that the Lord forgives?
Have I forgotten the gift that the Lord gives?
(chorus)

Will they Remember me if I died today?
Did I put my faith to the test?
Did I show everyone the love of God?
Did I do what was right ?
Did I shine my little light?
(chorus)

All that I know is that I need to try
to make a difference right now.
While I am a live.
I need to shine my light.
I need save peoples lives.....

I am so excited about this week.
We have so much that's gonna happen.
We are going out to eat. We have church and I haven't been able to attend youth for a month because of being sick. But I am feeling a lot better now.
I am also excited about visiting one of my friends I haven't visited in a while.
And talking on the phone with a good friend. There is so much I want to do!
I am probably going to be writing some songs and working on my story also.
It will be nice to get back to some old projects.
Sometimes when your busy or sick all your projects are set aside and your slow to renew work on them. So that's what I am going to try to do this week.
What are yall going to be doing?
Gotta go bye.

Jan. 26, 2006 - We have a merciful God!!

We have a merciful God! How many times have I gone to pray and start praying saying. "Oh I am so sorry Lord for doing this and this and this and I am so sorry. Please forgive me for lying and doing this wrong." And as I pray I am like, "I am such a disgusting vile person." I have done so many things wrong and I keep doing things wrong. Think about it if we got what we deserve. We would be in a terrible situation. Our lives are so special to God he goes through heartache and pain to make us happy. Hey sometimes I am like "if I got what I deserve God would strike me down with lightning now!" Then I am so thankful that God is a forgiving God
That I am still here standing living breathing. He is so good and kind he forgives even the worst of sinners. He is kind and good and loves me no matter what. I am only here because of a merciful God.

Jan. 26, 2006 - Starting a new thing

You ever been there sitting at your computer like. Ohhhh I wanna post but what? Ohh what should I say what should I do? Then I know just how you feel. Sitting here after making my blog I was going now what. Don't we do that about so much? We do it with God with our parents all the time. We're like "what are we gonna do now?" I don't know I guess when you read my blog your gonna have to deal with my verbal fumbling around. I guess we just have to accept people as they are and love them for their strange and weird ways.
