♥ Xtina [changed by Grace, saved by love]

I am a Christian and I love God. He is first in my life. I dont understand how anyone would be able to look into the sky, or into the eyes of a newborn, just walk outside and look around and not believe, he is everywhere. I think your religion should be less of a theory and more of a love affair. I think that when you become a Christian God changes your heart, and you no longer want to be involved in the ways of the world, 'Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,' Romans 12:2. 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!' 2 Corinthians 5:15. Put your trust in him and he will take care of you. He wants your whole heart, not just a third of it.Im 23, ive been married for 4 and a half years. My husband James is the greatest. We married for better or worse, he couldnt do any better and I couldnt do any worse, hahaha! We have a great time together and are so in love.
My favorite color is pink. I love all kinds of music, but would say that the Third Day is my favorite band. I love meeting new people and believe that you should never lose a chance to make new friends. The only way to have a friend is to be a friend. As the great Plautus said, 'Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend'. True friends are the people you can tell them when they are going in the wrong direction and they wont get mad at you, and they will consider what you say. So please, by all means, it works both ways, let me know when you think Im doing something wrong. I like to hang out with people who believe the same things that I do, who like to laugh and have a good time, people who are independent, responsible adults and live life to its fullest. If you dont believe what I do, thats fine to as long as your open minded ;-p. They say your life flashes before your eyes when you die, make it worth watching.
My life hasnt been easy, but I try my hardest to not let things get me down. When you live your life for Jesus Christ you shouldnt have a reason to be down, he died for you, so that you can live, he made you the way you are for a reason, just live life for him and he is your reward. I think that forgiveness and happiness is a permanent attitude and can be maintained if you just change your thought pattern. You cant just walk around defeated all the time, the bible says that whatever you say you have, you will have. When bad things happen to you praise God, there is ALWAYS someone who is worse off than you are. When good things happen praise God, everything you are putting out there comes back to you, why not make it something great. You get whatever you put into. What are you putting all your time and energy into?
I am a collector of shoes and purses. In my spare time I like to hang out, shop, READ, guitar hero, Rockband, and yes, I play world of warcraft. Make fun of me all you want, because Im still gonna play!
I have compiled some tips that i think can benefit everyone:You never know. Write down EVERYTHING. Take more pictures. Order more than one dessert. If the shoe doesnt fit in the shoe store, its never going to fit. Its important to have a dog so that someone in your house is always happy to see you. Back up your files Overtip If only one-third of your clothes are mistakes, you're ahead of the game. Dont define yourself through your work. Slow down and savor everything Dont take things personally The only people you need in your life are the ones who need you in theirs. You cant amaze the world unless you first surprise yourself. Life is to short to spend all your time being consumed with jealousy and hate.
