Sign the Petition to De-Fund Planned Parenthood.

Sign the Petition to De-Fund Planned Parenthood.

Over 100,ooo people have signed...

The lives of our children are dependent now.

As the sign for Pro-Life says,

'One heart stops,
Another BREAKS.'

HeartSick

Uh-oh, now she's talking about hearts again.  Yes siree I am!
Only this time its going to be quick, (I would post some pictures but I can't for some reason find the connector thingy) anyways,
heartsick. 
I've felt it before, and let me tell you something that strikes me as very interesting...every time I feel heartsick, its because at that moment I'm worrying about something and am doubting the ability of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior God!!
Okay, but like when I breathe deep the still, night air of spring and look up at the sky, fully putting my cares upon the cross, my doubts melt like the snow and so does the invisible weight that seemingly had captured my heart forever.  Because let me tell you something, Satan is going to try to tempt you to doubt, tempt you to worry, tempt you to go crazy heartsick,
but do you know what I do when Satan tempts me to despair?  Like the song says, 'Upward I look, and see Him there, who put an end to all my sin...'
I remember how I was hateful.  I remember how I was selfish.  I remember how I didn't care a hoot about the souls of my brothers and sister,
I remember how it was all about me, and then Jesus showed up.
And He said,
"Nope.  Its all about Me.  That's why your here."
And so, I REMEMBER.  And I believe again.  And again.  And again.  And I love this verse from Ephesians 6,

'Above all, take the sheild of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.'

Now I know why they say just believe.  Its because while the world keeps screaming all the reasons why not, we remember that God is always faithful, and we

just believe.

The UNCLEAR Call of the Trumpet is DANGEROUS

Last night,
I got back from Rachel House Banquet! rachelhousefriends.org  IT WAS AMAZING!
Truly, the MAIN reason WHY abortion is winning in this country is this:
THEY want it MORE.
It's that simple! The worst thing in our country right now is apathy!  Being "neutral" cause its "safe" and, awww...poor you, we won't loose any friends!!  No!  Because that would hurt your feelings.:(  But read Revalations 3 and you'll soon realize that Jesus Christ, speaking to the Lukewarm Church, He said, 'You are niether hot nor cold!  I will spew you out of my mouth!'

Have you ever tried drinking warm water?  Not too appetizing, is it?  Well, how do you think God is feeling right now as He watches the babies being slaughtered a few blocks away from so called "Christian" homes, and we do nothing about it?  Ok, so maybe you donated once or twice, or pray occasionally.  But what Jesus is saying here about not being LUKEWARM means that your either fighting on Satan's Team or your fighting on Jesus Christ Team and fighting for the lives of our American People!
Sad, but true statistics were read last night.  I'll relate a few to you now,

In the first time of all history, the African American race is experiencing a rapid decline because 50% of African American pregnancies end in death!!! Abortion.

72% of the ladies getting an abortion have gone to church.

60 some % of the ladies getting an abortion ALREADY HAVE CHILDREN.

Aprox. 12 million people were murdered in WW2.
Aprox. 55 million people have been murdered by abortions. 

Abbie Johnson, Rachel House's guest speaker last night used to be a Planned Parenthood Director, but Jesus Christ changed her heart and she is now passionately fighting for the Pro-Life Movement. 
She spoke of what REALLY happens in the abortion clinics...
are you ready?  Because you can stop reading now, but then you'll be blinding yourself to the Truth and then when YOU ARE CALLED to fight, you'll be confused about what your fighting AGAINST.  But if you listen to the Truth, it will set your soul free and then when the trumpet sounds you will run to the battleground with the Life-Savers.

Abbie was called to direct a sonogram abortion. 
Keep listening.  The problem with America is that we are too frightened to hear what the little babies are going through!  
So this was before Abbie's heart change, and somehow, someway, she had justified it in her heart that because this baby wasn't wanted then it was good to murder this child!
She watched, reassuring herself the lie that Planned Parenthood had told her, the lie that: 'No.  The P.O.C. does not have any sensory feelings.'  By the way, the P.O.C. is the baby.  But they can't say baby so they called it PRODUCTS OF CONCEPTION.

But that day, Abbie's eyes were going to be opened to the Truth.
The suction tube was inserted inside the woman's womb, and she watched on the screen as this little 13 week old boy, (with hands, fingers, toes, everything) fought that suction tube, trying desperately to get away from it.  He flailed his arms and feet as if to holler, 
"Help me!  Oh someone have mercy!  Does no body hear my cries?"
His voice was unheard by them that day, as Abbie watched.  The suction tube was turned on her eyes must have blurred now...
that little boy, that little child of God, his body suddenly became dismantled and he was sucked into the tube; murdered just like that.  Do you know that only takes 5 minutes?

Abbie used to be a P.O.C. Engineer.  Oh, that sounds important, right?  Well, let's expose the Truth here again.  What was her job?  
Her job was to piece back together, yes you heard me right.  PIECE back together the demolished parts of the murdered baby after the abortion!  
You must be thinking how sickening this could be for someone to have this as their every day job.  They must be insane, completely sick, completely psycho.  Ironically, Abbie grew up in a Christian home, went to Youth, went to Church...

But the subject of abortion was NEVER brought up!  
Our churches, the ONES that call themselves followers of Jesus Christ, need to STAND UP against the atrocities of murdering children, just like Dietrich Bonehoffer stood up against Hitler in World War 2!  What was Hitler doing?  Murdering whoever he deemed as 'unwanted.'  What is America doing?  Murdering whoever we deem as 'unwanted.'  We are playing the role of God Almighty, fellow Americans!  That is NOT our role to play!
Another thing too.  Germany doesn't allow aborotions.  Why?  Because its just like what they fought against in WW2.  They know the truth there.  Do we?

Oh how Jesus' heart must ache for the lives of His children!  Oh Lukewarm church!  Oh Lukewarm people!  Let us not die and stand before Jesus one day and Him say!

'Oh you Lukewarm hyprocrites!  WHY didn't you do MORE?!!"
I stand before you today as equally guilty of failing this question.  But the past is gone.  What matters it the future of our beloved America.  Are you willing to be spit upon by doing whats right?  Even if you feel like your standing alone, your not.
There's millions of others, I KNOW, that HATE abortions and HATE the murderous crimes unjust people are committing. I KNOW your out there, reading this, feeling guilty just like me.
Your not alone!  I have a passion for babies, and I know Grace, a good girlfriend of mine via blogging, has a passion for babies too!  But set aside those things, and remember this!
Romans 8---

'If God be for us, who can be against us?'

Run to the battleground today.  Now.  This second.  Another baby has cried out and been ignored while I've been writing this article.  

The trumpet sound should be clear to you now.

Listen to the call.

Read the DO HARD THINGS BOOK! BY TWO HOMESCHOOLERS>>>

I'm currently reading DO HARD THINGS book and its inspiring me to DO HARD THINGS.  Teens are often not expected of much...we can change that and surprise the world!

Pictures with friends we hadn't seen in a while!

My hair was so long then...sigh

How's your relationships with your friends going?  I know the first reaction is 'Oh well its goin' OK.' 

 

But let me say something,

GOD DIDN'T MAKE US SO WE COULD JUST BE OK

IT MADE US SO WE COULD BE SERVING HIM!

So if your relationships aren't too hot, then check out your side of the quadrant and figure out if you can add anything to candy jar.  For

 

'A man of integrity expects to be believed and when he's not he lets time prove him right.'

 

Do your side of it, and others will see and follow,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lilac Heart or Sewage heart?

'A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.  But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.  For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.'
Matthew 12:35-36


Good treasures.  We long for goodies and treasures that will satisfy us forever.  But do good movies satisfy us after they are over?  Or a wonderfully written book?  For a little time, perhaps, but soon those things will be forgotten by us.  But what will not be forgotten to you, me, or God, is a young man or woman that devotes themselves to Jesus alone and not the tasty-looking things of this world.  For but a moment they seem to fill us, and then they are gone, leaving us emptier than before.

What does your heart smell like?  Does it stink like sewage because of selfishness inside, meaning you haven't repented?

Or does it overflow with praise to Jesus Christ for salvation?  Its one or the other.  God says that those that are Lukewarm He will 'spew them out of My mouth'!(Rev.3)  He hates the undecided.  'Decide this day whom you will serve!' (Joshua 24:14-15)

If you've chosen that Jesus is enough for you for now and forever, then let me tell you somethin',

YOUR HEART NO LONGER STINKS!  GOD THINKS YOUR HEART SMELLS LIKE LILACS!
Why?  Because ITS NOT YOUR HEART anymore!  Its JESUS' HEART IN YOU!!!!!

I don't know about you, but I want to be a young woman that devotes herself to the Lord and His Word only,
and if you will do that, then you will be a

Good King
or a
Good Queen

that lives in LIFE FOREVER.  If you follow Jesus and take up your cross for Him, then you will never spiritually die.  Thank the Lord!

Just remember your High King and that He's the one that made you all that you are.

Inhale the goodness and majesty of the Lord!  Amen now...and FOREVER! 

Happy Easter!!!! Or, Happy Easter???

You know anyone on the planet can say simply, "Happy Easter."  And something in your heart says, 'Ah yes, this is good.' But is it really what they mean?  Or do they not even know what Easter means?  Is there more than eggs and bunnies and chocolate?  Even though chocolate tastes melty and yummy, it soon dissolves to nothing.  Surely Easter is supposed to be more to us than that.

At times, when I am countered with thoughts or doubts on if Jesus Christ really is all He said He is, and if the Bible is completely the ONLY Truth, I turn back to not only the evidences in History, but also the evidences in my own life, the evidences in others lives that Christ is risen and the Truth, and most importantly, I look at the evidence of my CHANGED heart!  When all other religions will tell you, 'Oh your good enough to-' Okay, stop right there.  Already, the Bible stands alone on that topic.  The topic of 'goodness.'  That only God is goodness and we are sinful.  The daily fights of your siblings or children atests to the fact that at heart, we are all evilly sinful and selfish, caring TRULY about only our own little skin and desires.  If MY tummy is filled, if MY feelings are hurt, if MY desires and dreams come true.  But interestingly enough, when I trusted in Jesus Christ, He said the EXACT opposite!!  For,

Psalm 102:17

'He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, and shall not despise their prayer.'

Matthew 18:4-5'Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.'

The very ROOT of our human heart is its all about me, and the most handsomest, strongest, most beautiful, most kindly on the OUTSIDE, the one that looks the coolest, is the best, right?
But God says just the exact opposite.  God tells us that you have to HUMBLE yourself as a little child!  Does your two-year old have any doubt that you'll feed him breakfast tomorrow?  Of course not!  In fact, he probably has scarcely a single worry in the world.  Why?  Because little children TRUST so COMPLETELY.  They put their WHOLE heart on the table and have faith that it will be nutured and protected. 
So when the doubts arise...'How can the Bible be true?'
Let's take a look, shall we?
Do you have any trouble believing that Abraham Lincoln existed?  Or what about Julius Caeser?  And yet there are extremely fewer evidences that Caeser even existed than Jesus Christ!

And take a look at the Gospel story;

'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a prpitation by His Bloood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has fiath in Jesus.'

The complete opposite of our human nature!  Every single word! All other religions, no matter if its Buddah as god, or Mohammad, or an idol, or you say there's no god at all, or maybe you openly worship yourself, whatever it is, ALL of those are FEEDING your evil, selfish human heart and are puffing you up, making you BELIEVE that your "GOOD 'NOUGH' to go to Heaven.

Look at the salt, for example.  Just one, simple thing of nature, and yet it EXTREMELY points to the Word of God.  Which one of us does NOT know that we are sinful, right?  Well, just a few weeks ago I got a mosaic wart on my heel removed; (gross, I know, right?) and trust me, the blood, the puss, it wasn't pretty.  What do you think the doctor prescribed to heal my now open wound?  Salt!  SALT! 

Salt is just like the Bible.  We know that we need to be healed.  We know that our little antiseptics and band aids aren't working, we know that the wound is utterly more terrible and fatal than a small wound on the heel, and yet we avoid the Salt.  Why?  Because we don't want to admit that we need it, and that the SALT HEALS!  Man, it surely hurt BAD when I poured about half a thing of salt on my open wound, and that was more than I told to put on it, but even though I was screaming around like a banshee, I was happy!  You know why?  Because I knew that even though putting the salt on my wound hurt like the Dickens, I knew that it was healing it to where that wound (sin) was not going to be there anymore!

Well, our hearts are way more hurt than just a wound.  The Bible tells us that we are Spiritually DEAD and therefore NOTHING we do can justify us with God.  The ONLY way to Heaven is to let the Salt of God's Truth sizzle on our open wounds by believing COMEPLETELY in JESUS CHRIST!
Having trouble believing?  Sometimes we all doubt.  I have been the doubting Peter...I've denied Him, and I've taken my eyes off Jesus and looked at the waves about me before.  But you have to know that Jesus IS 'THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.  NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.'
If the disciples 'made-up' the Bible (which is not true) but like some Athiests and non-believers say, then why on earth was Mary Magdalene the first one to see the risen Lord?  Why didn't Jesus appear to a fancy High Priest?  That would have gotten more people to follow Jesus, right?  If He had shown more power by revealing Himself to the High dudes?  Mary Magdalene was a woman, women were NOT looked upon as they are today, but not just that, she was a harlot (one that willingly commits adultery herself to men to make money), and also one that Jesus had cast out SEVEN demons!! 
But do you know why that is?  Its because Jesus looks at the heart.  And Mary Magdalene repented of her filthy, dirty sin that she was in chains to and believed in Christ, and He set her spirit free! 
The Roman soldiers sure looked mighty and powerful on the outside as they nailed Jesus to the cross, but their hearts were far from Him and it was for them in that moment that He was dying for.

What about your soul?  Is it free because you've repented and you believe that Jesus died and rose from the grave for you,
or are you bound in chains to sin and running to sin?

Your friends, your enemies, this entire world looks on the outside,
but God sees the inside.

Jesus rose again!  Let those that are right with God rejoice!  And let those that are far from Him repent and believe before its too late!

A joyous and glorious Easter to those that have humbled themselves before Him!
And given Him their entire heart just as a little child.

In love,
Samantha

ACLJ Christian radio station annouces shocking news that we as believers of Jesus need to stand against!!

aclj.org

Yesterday I was listening to the radio station above and after hearing about whats going on lately I wanted to implore with all those that care about the well being of their country and that care about the name of our God.

Athiests now are trying to pass a law that would strip away these words from the American currency:

IN GOD WE TRUST
The athiests point and goal in trying to do this is to strip the USA of any kind of glory to the ONE TRue God and Lord of all.  They think it is unfair that North America should have a general statement such as that when their point is that not all Americans are Christians.  Well I'll tell you whats unfair and unjust, whats wrong is that people that deny the Lord think they have any say in the Founding Principles of our Country! 
We must stop this law/bill from being passed before all of the True American History is torn from our foundation...before ALL references to God are stripped away!   
Amendment 1 of the Constitution: The Five Freedoms, states: 

'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.'

All right, so there you have it.  We have the right according to the Constitution of the United States to have the freedom of religion, speech, the freedom of the press and so forth.  If those that do not believe in God's Holy Name don't want to believe in it, then we will pray for them, and we will witness to them, and we will pour the love of Jesus Christ on them until the LIght of Jesus overwhelms this country.  Until the love of Jesus is so evident in His believeres that all may know....His glorious Kingdom reigns!  And Believers, you are called today to stand up in your right of speech and to speak for our God, that indeed

IN GOD WE TRUST

Go to aclj.org and fill out your name on the petition.  As of yesterday, they had 13,00 names on it, their goal is 100,000 names!  Help them out today.

Thank you,

Samantha

Spring Is Upon Us!!!!!! Happy St. Patty's Day!

The last few days have been extremely warm, and I almost thought for a while there that we had skipped spring altogether and jumped into summer!  Oh the joy of seeing our little plants start out as teeny-weensy seeds the size of beans or crumbs, and then to watch them break the dirt and poke their little heads into the air with a dignity as if declaring, "Look at me ya'll!  I can do it!  I have done it!"  Quite triumphantly they seem.:)

The children's playdo creations

My Great Grandma Miriam at dinner time.   Down below, we are celebrating my other Grandma's 65th Birthday!  I made chocolate-chip-chocolate brownies with chocolate frosting on top with sprinkled coconut; along of course with the chocolate-cherry-chunked and French vanilla and Butter Peacan Ice Cream!  Whew!:) (Yummmmm)

Psalm 23

The Lord is my sheperd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
FOREVER.

When Spring Awakens the Soul

Before we are born, our soul is snow,
it is black, and it is a stone;
This world looks tasty, this world looks great, but then Jesus showed Himself, and He wiped my slate.
He wiped my slate.
Then all of a sudden, my stone became flesh, and a rock it was no more, but it beat and it bled and it bore,
myself it did not care, but for the souls of others it did share,
I suddenly had His soul.

That's why it did flare, with a burning desire for the other stones burning in fire, to know Jesus as I dared.
I dared.  I dared.  I dared to know Jesus and for nothing else I cared.

Look Up to The Lord Poem

Why, weak body and dead soul, do you war against the Light?

Why are you afraid of It, and why do you hide?

Do you not know that it is He that already won the fight?

the fight for your soul, O you sinner of night,

the fight is already won and O evil sinner, turn to the glorious might
Of Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Turn from your sin and turn upon Him, and then you shall be saved
from the terrors of night.

Hey Brother

By: Sam

This song is speaking to all the brothers and sisters that have repented of their sin
and put their heart in the hands of Jesus Christ alone.



No straying off the path for me...what do you resolve?

A resolution.  Don't many of us resolve many things, things that we have never kept or are perhaps so high and up there that they seem impossible to grasp? 
Two days ago, I typed and printed out my resolution.  Here I will paste it here:

Samantha Maureen Anne’s Life Resolution:

I RESOLVE to glorify God with all my might, body, heart, soul, mind and strength

Every single second of every single day of my life,

Always looking upward at the Cross when I come to a fork in the path and wonder which path I should take,

And to continue in the race that is set before me with diligence and perseverance,

Running toward Jesus closer and closer each and every day,

Constantly opening the petals of my heart and soul more and more to Him

Till I am fully His blossomed, Snow White Rose

Wrapped in all of His glory that is not my own to claim.

I RESOLVE.

This is the choice of my soul, and there is no straying off the path for me,

And there is no turning to look back.

Period.

                                                                    God so help me.


Matthew 7:13-14
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go by in it.  Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

2 Timothy 3:12
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution...but you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

What's your resolution?  Are you willing to stand by Christ no matter who spits in your face?

I am.  Will you join me?
