That Crazy Pentecostal Girl

The Bible talks about our bodies being temples of the Holy Spirit. That is not just our physical bodies, but also spiritual and mental bodies as well.   In my faith, Pentecost, we suggest that we don't do any harm to our bodies because of this very reason.   From piercings and tattoos, to drugs and alcohol... we preach against it all.   But I feel like it's much deeper than that. In fact I feel like we leave in important detail out.   FOOD!   Actually we do the exact opposite we never leave it out. It's a social thing. We eat to fellowship.   Every Sunday and Sunday night, like clockwork...we dine!   Although this is good in some sense, it's an unspoken sin....   YES...Gluttony is a sin!   In Ezekiel we are told that the sins of Sodom were pride, laziness and gluttony!   Laziness and Gluttony hmmmm   Yet everyday when we get hom...

1 Corithians 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;  does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.   Love never fails.   Where are your priorities? What do you give importance to? At the end of the day... What really matters?   I was born and raised in the Apostolic faith....

Since I was 12 I felt a calling... Little did I know that calling was going to change my life entirely. It caused me to make different decisions then my peers,  friends and even family.  It drew me away from things and drew me closer to others.   Gave me joy  Gave me tears Sent me 1100 miles away from home to go to Bible College.  Now this calling  is make me feel out of place.  But not in a bad way....I suppose.  I sometimes feel alone.  Living off campus I get left out of a lot,  and don't really know what is going on. I also work a lot so I just don't have much time and when I do I like to spend it alone. It's been on my heart though lately.  It's kinda of a hard time for me.  Being alone.  But I was told the other day why I was dealing with this.  A teacher and I got to talking and he said did you ever think that possibly the reason you are going through this peri...

I have a pet Her name is Pearl Pearl is a ...Tarantula   I know I'm crazy, but discussing my craziness is not the agenda so moving on....     Spiders do this really cool thing called molting. They shed their outer skin because they are growing out of it and need new one. When they shed this skin they are truly a different creature. There skin is brighter and they themselves are more energetic.   Kind of like when we become new creatures in Christ. II Corinthians 5:17 We shed away are old skin and put on new. And when we do, we are new people. Filled with joy and God's light shinning in us.   Another reason Spiders molt is because they are pregnant. Thus she is growing.   I think this is where most people in the church are or need to be.   We have a new coat, a new identity in Christ. And now it's time to give birth.   Before the spider molts it will stop eating, it will drink a ton more tha...

Rihanna knew what she was talking about when she sung  "I want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world"   I'm really sick of guys!   I need three things.... Consistancy, Commitment, and Consideration.   You guys who say I'm beautiful one day then the next day pay no mind to me... I rather you leave me alone. I don't need you And I'm better off without you.   If you like me...tell me If you don't....then stop acting like you do.   I have feelings....and a heart.... and I rather them not be messed with.   I usually don't make post like this, but I needed to let off some steam!   Point is if I'm not everything you want and you don't want to treat me with respect and like the jewel that I am Then lets just be friends and call it day! God has someone special for me ... and chances are you're not him. The Spoken word by P4CM's Janette said it ...

Since we were 10, us girls have thought about that special day. The day we leave our families, change our last name,  and spend the rest of our lives with that young man we thought only existed in our dreams. We plan that day as if it's in a couple days from who are bridesmaids will be,  what are dress will look like,  right down to the colors and flowers we will have.  We knew what kind of house we wanted to live in,  how many children we would have   and we even picked out names for these children. It's in woman's nature to be a wife and a mother.  Even the bible talks about all that woman should be... A submissive wife and caring mother.  We get our hopes up so high trying to find this "soul mate" And many of times we let guys get the best of us  and we are left heart broken and doubting such love exist.  Don't leave me hanging. I know I'm not the only one.  I thought I was go...

And Proud!  Frequent mood swings, weight fluctuations, cramps, babies, taking care of   a messy house, and never having anything to wear. Oh yes I love being a woman.  Caring and sweet personality, delicate frame, a since of innocence and purity. True beauty, inside and out. Strong, but submissive.  These are qualities we are suppose to have anyway. Although many times we find ourselves aggressive, impure, a mess, ugly and fat. Yep been there many times.  But yet I am proud to say I am a woman.... Lately I have been very involved in woman's ministry in my church and school.  I love it. I love giving woman hope and helping them find self worth.  Recently we had a ladies tea at my church. The theme was "True Beauty".  The kind you find inside not out.  See, unfortunately beauty fades. We get old, fat and ugly, but the beauty I'm talking about never fades. It's the kind of beauty that is found in women like Re...
