I am bound & determined to grow in Christ more and more each day! No more slacking any at all ever! and i know Satan is gonna have a problem with that but i just don't care..the battle for my soul has been won and i'm living for the Victor!I'm so sick of being lukewarm...and not filling my day with Him like i should..I want to be so wrapped into the Bible and His Word that if i dont have it, i am completely lost.I want for Him to be my everything..my dreams, my love, my life, my laughter, my tears, my pain, my mountaintop, my valley, my friend, my lover, my Father, my EVERYTHING!!! I want Him, and i want Him now.

My Testimony...I wrote it a year or so back

Here we go ...I grew up in a Christian home in a small town. I went to church every Sunday and Wednesday unless i was sick. I thought I had made a decision to follow Christ at different points in my life, but never were they truly sincere or did I truly change.We moved to the town we're in now, and started going to a church called Life Church. As soon as we started going there, I made great new friends, friends that I would have probably never had the chance to meet had we stayed where we were. After a while of going to that church and seeing how radical the people there were and how much they truly LOVED God and WORSHIPPED Him with everything they had not holding anything back, I realized that I was missing something and it was keeping me from being an all-out Christian. I was missing the God part.I started thinking about how much did I truly love God and worship Him and live my life for Him?So, I talked to my parents and told them that I thought now was the time to set it in stone, and secure my place in heaven with my Father. And on April 3, 2005 I accepted Jesus Christ into my life and asked Him to be Lord and ruler over my life.After that, I have made MaNY mistakes. I am not perfect. Nobody is perfect. I still go through times where I just willing disobey God.Like cursing, for example. It's not something that I necessarily WANt to do, it's something that because I did it before I nailed down my salvation, I am still tempted to. And we all give in to temptation sometimes. But the absolute WONDERFUL thing about God is His grace and mercy. If we are truly sorry for what we have done, and ask Him to forgive us, and turn from it, He forgives you. Gives you a new start.Lately, I have been going through different things like going back to what I did before. And I realize that in order to be an effective witness to my friends and my family and all the people that I am the only way they will only hear the gospel of JeSUS CHRIST then I have to do my very best and with God's help be the best example I can be.And I can't do it without God. But knowing that God is there when I need to lean on Him helps so much when you go through struggles and hurts and pains.I will be more than happy to talk with anybody. Please ask me questions or tell me anything you need to. In Christ,Emily

To My Future Husband

So everyone has their dream guy. Most of the qualities of this dream guy include, but are not limited to: omgosh he has to be like soo cute!!, he's like the sweetest thing ever!!, is there anything wrong with this guy?!!, he's a good kisser!!, etc...etc...etc... So I have to admit, I'm into the whole good-looking, funny, sweet, lovable kinda guy too. But there's a massive difference. My guy has to be a leader. And not just any kind of leader. A spiritual leader. You know, the kind that if I'm slipping in my relationship with God, He will point out to me the areas I need to work on. The kind that isn't afraid to say that's too far. The kind that insists that our relationship is based on Christ. The kind that would never put me before his relationship with God. That kind. So that's the guy I want to meet. And, one day, I will. God has my perfect guy picked out for me. I lie. Nobody is perfect. But the guy that God has for me, will be perfect for me. Simply because he was chosen for me. So here's my note to that guy: I'm saving sexual purity for you. I may kiss other guys, but I will NEVER have sex with anyone but you, and only when we get married. I LOVE YOU. I'm looking for you, but not too hard because that would put my relationship with God on a standby. I just want you to know, that I pray for you. And when we find each other, it's going to be wonderful. I'm not perfect. I will mess up. But you will love me anyway. And I will do the same for you. So pray for me.

♥ your future wife.
