About Me

It is awesome how God can take a filthy sinner like me and make me clean. Not only to save me from eternity in hell but save me into eternity with Him. Precious Jesus died on a cross over 2000 years ago and He had me on His mind. He was sinless, yet He payed my price. I deserve death but the Almighty God has given my life. He doesn't send us off without a clue of what to do. The Lord of all the Earth speaks to us through His word. The Bible says that "All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." 2 Tim. 3:16. Nothing I have done or ever will do can keep me from having a relationship with Jesus Christ. My God is mighty to save and no prayer is too bold for Him. We live so selfishly. We make our lives about us. "For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unpeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God." 2 Tim. 3:2-4. That describes each and everyone of us. But please hear this. My God has redeemed me and He can redeem anyone and everyone. Once you enter into a relationship with the Living God, your life will never be the same. My testimony is precious to me because I now realize what it is that God has done for me. My walk will never be perfect, but I will never be the same. The one thing that has led me to the place where I am now is by letting God's word become real to me. The Bible is the living, breathing Word of God. I would love to talk to everyone and anyone about how Jesus has changed my life. I have a purpose and my life has never been so on track. All because I have allowed God to search my heart. Although, that process will never end.The growing process of a Christian is never ending, and that is a beautiful thing!!*******To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. -- David Viscott******* Background Artist:

I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine~Yvaine(stardust)****
