a spiritual entry...but first, a word from our sponsors

Hey look, a friend of mine is BCM person of the week! Yay Jonathan! Go say hello, and make sure to tell him you're a friend of Liz.

Anyway...to the important stuff. I'm not going to get really deep on you guys, cause I'm really not that deep of a person. At least I don't think I am. I like the deep stuff, but sometimes it's the simple things we need to focus on. So with that, I give you lyrics from KJ-52's song 5th Element. For the complete lyrics, try searching LetsSingIt.

GRRRRRRRRR!

I just lost a huge entry because my friggin 3 key wants to act like a refresh button!!!

Oh well...I'll type my uber spiritual stuff in another entry. Here are some quizzes.

( Meaningless! )

(no subject)

I've only been a Christian for four years, and I'm beginning to see that God has..."themes," if you will, for every year of my walk so far. Last year He was teaching me dependence on Him (still a work in progress); this year, the focus is on freedom. This might sound weird to some, but dependence had to come before the freedom. Try as I might, I can't break free of anything on my own strength; I have to rely on His. I'm sure all Christians have a problem learning that, but it was extremely hard for me. When I was Wiccan, if I had a problem, I took control in any way I could think of.

It didn't start out that way. I first became interested in Wicca because of how flexible it was. I didn't have to believe or do any certain thing. As long as I didn't hurt anybody, I was fine. But the deeper I got, the more it became about power. My spells and charms made me feel like I was in control of everything. I can remember how manipulative I became, how I played with other's emotions, how I would make a man mad with desire, then blow him off. It sickens me to think about it.

Talk about hurting people. But on January 3, 2001, I realized I had been hurting Someone far more important: a God who loves me so much He'd send his only Son, perfect and blameless, to die the worst possible death, so that not only would I be eternally reconciled to Him, but that He could be with me, within me, always and forever. That is truly amazing.

My life has changed dramatically, and continues to change with each passing day. Life isn't without it's pain, but this is a far better life than I could ever imagine for myself. And I want the same for you.

If you don't know Jesus, you are missing out on the most amazing relationship you could ever have. Please don't pass it up.
