I had one of the best times in a LONG time and I was able to get away from my house and from work for a whole week!! (I'm not trying to brag.) I was able to go to my grandmother's house (the grandma in California)....I am SO glad that I was able to spend an entire week with her, because it was my last opportunity to spend all that time with her before my moveto Idaho. And I was able to spend some time with my cousin Wyatt, who I haven't spend quality time in many years. ;)
This was a very blessed weekend for me and I pray now that I don't get insane with the HUGE increase in hours at work.

I'm fired...
Okay....not fired from work, but I'm firing myself from Lent. This is my 3rd year of Lenting and I cannot keep my promise. :'( I try so hard and I can't even do that! (sigh) I couldn't even read the Bible everyday :'( (heavier sigh).
God! I come to you now and beg you to have patience with me! I know that I definately don't deserve what you have done for me and I am eternally greatful for ALL that you have done and all that you will do for my during my physical life. God, be with me and forgive me. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Bring it on!
Okay.....God's new calling for me has had me EXTREMELY motivated.....I created a facebook group. "Gays, Lesbians and Transgenders AREN'T GOING TO HELL."
Okay, Christians....bring on the problems.
(Lately, I have been very compassionate about the persecution that the homosexual community has been through, created by Christians who, essentially are afraid of them)
God has called me to help this group of people also.
So I am starting on facebook.

2nd Calling of God
Okay....most people that know me know that God has called me to be a missionary to Deaf people. That was a very interesting calling...he silenced my ears for a minute so all I could hear was God talking, then I could hear the world around me again.
But Thursday, God also called me to help another group of people that are persecuted by Christians...homosexuals.
I knew that God was interested in me helping them, but I thought in a minor way...God wants me to help them in the same manor that I am going to help the Deaf...which I think is actually going to be more of a challenge than helping the Deaf.
For many years I have been taught differently about homosexual people.
But through prayer and talking to God and praying...He has been telling me differently than what I have been previously taught...and its so heart -breaking to see how the Christ-like people are treating these people....SO UNCHRISTIAN-LIKE.....It makes God's heart break... :'(
So I vow to do everything I can, not only for the Deaf, but for the homosexual community and show them the LIGHT God has...and sadly, not the "Christians" are the WORST EXAMPLE EVER when it comes to the topic of homosexuality.
God bless you guys!

Continuation of Lent Bible Readings
Even though I haven't blogged everyday of what I haveread for Lent....I am very proud that I have been reading at least one chapter...except of course, Day 3. But anyway...
Exodus 7: Aaron's Staff Becomes A Serpant/A Plague of Blood
Exodus 8: A Plague of Frogs/A Plague of Gnats/A Plague of Flies
Exodus 9: A Plague Against Livestock/A Plague of Festering Boils/A Plague of Hail
Exodus 10: A Plague of Locusts/A Plague of Darkness
Exodus 11: Death for Egypt's Firstborn
Exodus 12: The First Passover/Israel's Exodus from Egypt/Instructions for the Passover
Exodus 13: Dedication of the Firstborn/Isreal's Wilderness Detour
Exodus: 14: Israel's Wilderness Detour/The Egyptians Persue Israel/Escape Through the Red Sea
Reading Exodus again (something I haven't done in afew years...yes, I said years) I've noticed how God called Moses and although Moses did it with an exception (hopefully I won't) God still did AMAZING things for His people.
I am just honored that God, out of all the people who could have helped the Deaf people, that He chose me to be able to do it. (Yes, a HUGE responsibility....but it won't be me by myself.)
Lately, I have been doing some thinking,and there is a HUGE conflict in my personal beliefs, that contradict that other Christians have taught me...
What I was taught: Homosexuals go to hell
What I believe: Homosexuas don't go to hell...unless they don't accept Jesus as their savior...the Bible has never said "Homosexuals will go to hell"....although it is something that God points out that he just doesn't like.....He also just doesn't like sin.....and sin is all the same to God....so back to where we started from.....we all deserve Hell... (take some time to read Romans 3)
My point being...there is no reason why God would pick just one group of sinners to specifically go to hell. Yes, God expresses how much he doesn't like that...considering that He make us to "fit" a specific way.
And theway Christians treat them.....so sad :'( No wonder they don't like us.....we treat them so low!! (NOT WHAT CHRIST WOULD HAVE DONE)
What I was taught: Mormons are Christian
What I believe: I'm not so sure they are....yes, granted they do MUCH GOOD when it comes to helping others...but the Bible says that "fath is NOT by works alone." And the work that is done in the Mormon "Church" is for the benefit of the Mormon's soul. From my understanding of Mormon's and their work is that they do all these things for others so they can get into a better level of heaven so they can have more "spirit babies". First of all, there is no time in heaven to "get busy", it is spent worshipping the God that created us. So, I don't think that Mormon's are Christian.....and I know that a few of my Mormon friends think that I am going to Hell because I am not a part the Mormon church.
I know there are going to be people that are going to read this a be REALLY offended at my personal beliefs...but that's okay....I am taking a different approach to my faith.......LOVE THE SINNER AND HATE THE SIN..........although it is going to be hard...that's what God does.
God bless you all!
