About Me

It is a good thing to sing praises and to give thanks to Thy name, oh Most High! When I think of the goodness of Jesus and all He has done for me, my soul cries out, "Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!" I praise God for saving me.I just turned 23 Jan 4th, so that means I've been APOSTOLIC for 23 years! I received the gift of the HolyGhost at the tender age of 11, calling on the name of Jesus. He filled me FULL of His precious gift of the HolyGhost. I thank and praise God for reaching waaaay down deep into a filthy, stinking hole...past this one, past that one...just to reach me. Sometimes I just sit by myself and think how things could have been different if God chose the next baby born a second after me to grow up in Holiness, with salvation right at their fingertips. I have been priviledged to know Jesus for myself at a young age and I am so grateful. You can't make me doubt Him, I know too much about Him! I love the Lord with my very being and aint no man, no job, no car, no home, no item of clothing, no drink gonna ever get me to where I will lose my mind and venture outside of the arc of safety. There's nothing in this world I want and DEFINATELY nothing in Hell that I want. Where my Apostolics at?! Stand up!

WHAT RELIGION BESTS SUITS YOU?

Holy Roller
Jumping, dancing, praising and speaking in tongues are just some of the many things you do to honor your god. If you meet one of the un-saved, you pray for them. You are kind, caring and full of Christ's love. Perhaps a bit obsessive, but at least you're true to your faith. PRAISE THE LORD!
