About Me

I want my space, my mark, my little corner of the vast thing known as Cyber space to be me. And i change constantly, we all do. So therefore my space is now different. I am different. . .
So . . . i no longer have CFS! YAY! I am in recovery, still a little tired but getting back into life . . . I have a part time Job in an AWESOME patchwork store and am loving having more energy at youth group! GOD IS FAITHFUL
CFS was a big part of the person that God is molding me into, i dont regret the years i was sick, instead i see them as a blessing in disguise, used to bring me closer to God and stronger in my faith. I give my all to God, my saviour so all you reading this might know him too if you don't already. . .
Art is also a big part of who i am . . . GREAT therapy. Here are some of my works . . . will be putting more up shortly . . .

MY FAVORITE BIBLE VERSES:
Be Joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
-Romans 12:12-
The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.
-2 Chronicles 16:9-
Consider it pure joy my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
-James 1:2-3-
See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
-Isaiah 48:10-
"For i know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope"
-Jeremiah 29:11-
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, i know that full well."
-Psalm 39:14-
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
-Proverbs 31:30-
"Everything is permissible"- But not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible" - But not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.
-1 Corinthians 10:23-24-
On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable.
-1 Corinthians 12:22-
If i speak in the tongues of men and of Angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or clanging cymbal. If i have the gift of prophesy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if i have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, in am nothing. If i give all i posses to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
-1 Corinthians 13:1-3-
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does nt boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self- seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
-1 Corinthians 13:4-7-
Do not be misled; "Bad company corrupts good character".
-1 Corinthians 15:33-
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
-2 Corinthians 4:8-9-
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
-2 Corinthians 4:18-
". . .There was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me,"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when i am weak, then I am strong."
-2 Corinthians 12:7-10-
Look to the nations and watch, and be utterly amazed. For i am going to so something in your days that you would not believe even if you were told.
-Habakkuk 1:5-
In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.
-Isaiah 30:15-
If i were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of christ.
-Galatians 1:10-
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
-Galatians 6:9-

FULLY ALIVE - Flyleaf

Telling layla's story spoken
About how all her bones are broken
Hammers fall on all the pieces
Two months in the cover creases

Fully alive, more than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures

All my complaints shrink to nothing
I'm ashamed of all my somethings
She's glad for one day of comfort
Only because she has suffered

Fully alive, more than most
ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
“To every thing there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven.
A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace.
What profit has the worker from that in which he labors?
I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
