But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us

About Me

I am a saved and mostly cheerful child of the One True Living and Life-giving God; a wife who loves her husband very much; a grateful and happy mom of 4 kids and I try my best to be a loving and reliable friend to my all friends=)I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS, ENJOY LIFE!=) My relationship with my family, my friends, and especially my brothers and sisters in Jesus are very important to me! In my spare time I like to work out at the fitness studio. In the summer time I go diving, swimming, snorkeling, surfing - basically everything with water. In the colder month I go hiking and climbing. I like to watch animals, seashells, flowers, trees, stones, corals or basically everything in creation and I love to take photographs.

I'd like to meet:

friends; genuine people: If you sincerely want friendship and fellowship then write to me please.You may have noticed that I cut down the # of friends considerably. I thought long about this, and the multitude of "friends" was simply too overwhelming. The reason is not a personal dislike of someone, but I got toO many friend requests, probably for different reasons. And this takes the focus away and makes it hard to stay in contact with the people who really want friendship... Please understand!=) So whoever wants to get in contact, please write to me. I love to have fellowship and friendship with you whoever you are, but I don't want to add you to my friendslist just to increase your or my # of friends! So if you want friendship write to me first, please=) ******************* For those of you who are not christians and wonder what christianity is all about: Christians are people who are far away from being perfect and we still make a lot of mistakes in our lives. I guess you already noticed that about christians ;), lol. Most christians strive to become more like Jesus, but still we mess up daily like everyone else - sometimes even more, because our flesh battles with the spirit! Yet to be a christian does not mean to be perfect or live a life as a "good" person. The difference between being a christian or not being a christian, between being "saved" and "not saved", is to accept that Jesus suffered and died on the cross for my sins and cleansed me with His blood. I deserved to die for my sins, but Jesus, in His grace, took my place and died on the cross for me and because of this my debt is now forgiven. It is a gift, offered freely by God, who created everything and who loves everyone with unconditional love. God offers this gift to everyone - without exeptions! He longs to have a loving relationship with every person! No matter what kind of life you live and no matter what you have done in your life! All you have to do is to accept His gift! He loves YOU and He would have gone to that cross if YOU were the only one person on this earth! But you have to go and see for yourself! You can not build muscles by watching someone work out, and in the same way you cannot fully understand what it means to have Jesus in your own life, only by watching us imperfect christians. As long as we are here on this earth we will never be perfect and we will never have all the answers, but Jesus is perfect and He has the answers for you, too. The Lord is a wonderful God and Father and I would never want to live a day of my life without Him again! Go and see! Many people here on mySpace have asked me about christianity, Jesus, God, being saved.... and I thank you all for your interest! If you want to know more, go and read my blog "Do good people go to heaven?" and then write to me - I would love to talk to you about Jesus, because He gave me true life and now He is my life!=) ************************************************************ ***************************************************** ********

Music:

all kinds of music - I listen more to the words/ lyrics than to the tunes and if the words are good the kind of music is of minor interest to me=)

Movies:

Several; i.e. Forrest Gump, Passion of Christ, Phantom of the Opera (the one with Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossom and Patrick Wilson), funny stuff like Ice Age ....

Television:

I do not make much time for that;) - sooooo many other things come first, lol.

Books:

Bible of course! There is nothing boring in that book, but so much to learn from it and so many interesting and encouraging stories!=) Well, and there are some other books I love, too. Actually I love to read and I read nearly everything I can get, lol.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ (obviously)! But there are also some ppl who are not really my "heroes" but who in some ways are examples to me: i.e. King David (because his heart was in the right place), Abraham (he is known as "friend of God" because of his faith in God) Peter (he constantly messed up, but he knew where to turn to for help), Paul (great man of the Lord), Daniel (he had a great relationship with God and he was so sincere, that not even his enemies found any fault with him), Esther (a woman who dared everything for those she loved), Stephen (the first martyr), Corrie ten Boom (great example of loving others and forgiving others) ...
