Replacing Lies with truth
:::Replacing lies with truth:::
*It is completely impossible to REPLACE lies with truth..unless you know the truth (John 3:16)
Coming from a home where love wasn’t the number one thing happening…I have been exposed to a lot of lies. Lies like “You’ll never be good enough”, “you are disgusting”, “No one could ever love you”, “you are scum”. All of my life this was the “truth” set before me…so when I came to the saving knowledge of the Lord…when his TRUE love filled me…and there was truth set before me I didn’t know what to do with it. Even though now, I had the truth of Jesus and his ultimate sacrifice for me…His transforming love…I was still stuck in lies of not good enough, not pretty enough…..and I started cutting to deal with my anger and my sadness….every emotion I had that wasn’t a positive one went into cutting.
This went on for a while until I started going to a bible institute…where people loved me for me and I thought this was the answer….people loving me must be ok because God loves me..so it all clicked together for me…..but when someone would get angry at me, or I didn’t do something right..I’d get upset and run right back to cutting.. I still wasn’t believing in Gods truth that he had promised me…perfect peace, forgiveness, love everlasting and an abundant life. Abundant lives aren’t filled with hatred, bitterness and jealousy…which is what I was dealing with. With my friends and my family.
When I actually got into God’s word..and looked at the truths that he had put in there for me to read..for me to BELIEVE..that is when I finally started understanding that I could beat this sin. And the other sins that I had been dealing with because I CAN do all things through Christ..because HE gives me the strength to.
One specific truth that has been so big to me for a long time (Since I started living for Christ) is found in Isaiah 26:3 “you keep him in perfect because whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts you.” My whole world can be crashing down..my fault or maybe not my fault, but regardless..If I am thinking on the truths that Jesus has given me..the truth that is God..the truth of love forgiveness and his perfect holiness…How can I not be in perfect peace? Complete peace that passes understanding of this world? On the other side though, if we are completely thinking of ourselves, and how we screwed up of course we won’t be peaceful…we are thinking of ourselves..finite foolish creatures.
The only way to replace lies with truth is knowing and dwelling on truth. Nothing else will do it.

is it worth it now
i really dont know what to do..i spent time in your word tonight Lord..cried to you and begged you...God i dont know WHY you are allowing this to happen I am trying so hard God...
*Sigh*
this fight is so hard
.......................................................................................
OH ANNE
we got to the house and we decided to start working on the pumpkins..we quickly changed our minds though and decided if we made cupcakes then we could have them later..and that was just to good to pass up you understand!! :) So...we got to work on the cupcakes..once they were safe in the oven we started cutting open our pumpkins and loving making these crazy little jack-o lanterns.. :-D
I made mine look like the Canadian flag..and then i tried to make Anne of green gables..but oh let me tell you that flopped....i can barely even tell the lettering says anne..:) LOL but it's ok..we had SO much fun doing it..it makes up for the ridiculousness of mine haha
after we did the pumpkins we decided it was time for dinner..and it was time to start watching anne of green gables...(we had decided to watch all of them) ok..this was like at 11..i think? Well let me just tell you i didnt get done watching it until 6:30 am! LOL
Ok..i forgot a really IMPORTANT FACT.....we had to strain and pick out Pumpkin seeds from stinking 8 pumpkins and then from the ones WE had...we decided we wanted to cook them but had to stinking wait for them to dry out..well you know me..you know that i dont enjoy waiting for natural things to happen..so i grabbed a hair dryer and decided to go craazZyyYy!! LoL WHICH HEY just to let you know IT WORKED and it was great ;)
anyway..so yes i spent my night and morning watching Anne of green gables and then the sequal and then the continuing story...
:-D
GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!

A WEEK thats changed my life...hUH?!
can i please just tell you how this week has completely SHAKEN any idea i had about this year and how it was going to go?....
Today(last week) I was so excited to go back to word of life..I was shaking w/ anticipation, ready to get out of this house and packed already! Monday came...( I wanted to leave and be there wednesday) I got a call...and i really thought nothing of the $ aspect..i thought oh...it'll be taken care of. i mean..in all honesty i've never had to worry about that..to much..so i talked to my mom and ya we just figured id all work out so i was still ready to go..ya God ya..im going on wednesday yes i am....
Tuesday-in the morning thought it was all figured out and was excited still all packed, still ready to go...Then my mom told me that night i couldn't go...and my heart crashed..I mean i think legit crashed...I had myself a good ol' self pitty party...because lets face it..if i had a choice to be home..or there....(id be anywhere else but home) ...
wed-well the rest of the week..I am not going to lie..it has been one of the hardest weeks of my life.. DONT GET ME WRONG...this isn't me just whining because i am not going to wol..( i am ) BUT being home isnt...great...
All this week i have faught (and still am honestly) fighting feelings of anger,doubt(as to this is the right thing) come on ...God you sure (YOU"VE BEEN THERE 2),jealousy...and feeling like people are forgetting me...
But....today at church ..and through psalm 86,psalm 145...God has just really been showing me how GOOD he is..and how he LOVES me and how he has plans for my good..and these things are so good for us to know..but when you...live it, when you feel it..its completely different. Now please dont misunderstand me. I KNOW People are going through things a lot worse then me. If i could stop and explain all the circumstances to you...well i probably wouldn't but..that's ok ...regardless of the circumstances..God is still there showing us who we are and who HE IS ...(that's the better one).....
NOW WHAT I'VE LEARNED (this week) CAUSE I HAVE...A LOT :::
1. I need to stop complaining- I go through things i don't like..and instead of looking for what God is doing in it..i sit there and say this isn't fair, i dont deserve it and blah....
2.(Praising God in all things) Wooo...I NEED to do that..and it goes so much better when i do...
3.Trials/problems (yes dr.wicks) Really are our little buddies...they are showing me who God is..and how much strength he has...and how weak I am
4.God wants to make me more like his son....and he is going to do what it takes to make that happen. some of us learn easier then others..(i've never been a fast learner) LOL
-i am not saying God's punishing me...btw....I can choose to be thankful or complain
5.I cannot count on people....I shouldn't count on people..(this is something very hard for me) when i hurt..i want to talk to people about it..i want people to be around so I DONT FEEL the pain....but that's not the way it should be.... I AM COMPLETE in CHRIST..not in YOU *whoever is reading* lol... :)
-God is my strength and my salvation....(not my best friend...not my mom...not my brother, my sister....or Mrs.Bennett) (had to add her in) .... :)
...OK Legit..im done rambling....but I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW God has such great things planned for me..and It's still going to be a struggle for me but I KNOW he is able..and I am able w/ him *phil 4:13*
..:)

Pain
This hurts me a lot..and i know you know that. and Lord i am so thankful that you do not waste my pain. God i pray that you would allow me to do well with this. Lord even though im not at the school I KNOW I can grow, and i can change..and Lord I KNOW that you are doing big things.. and that if it's your will...I will be able to go back to wol. this is only for a time and God i am so thankful that you are willing to do this for me. Lord i just.....I dont know what to do God my heart hurts so badly right now..I am lonely, i do not have Christian friends to hang out with and this is hard.....
I will continue to praise your name..because God, just because this happened doesnt mean you aren't good..I know you want me to be more and more like you Lord...and I hope and pray that I can continue growing.
Help me deal w/ this pain in a Godly way. Lord honoring to you..not myself and this stupid pain i feel...God i love you and i know you have whats best for me

AHHHHHHH
I dont know if im going to be able to go to the school that im completely in love w/...and that God has shown me thus far that I need to....*slams head*...and now i dont know if i can because they dont have somewhere for me to stay now because someone messed it up and i dont have the money it seems like..its just so frustrating because i know..or thought i knew God had me there..and this is 2days before..what else am i supposed to do?!?!
....i am truly trying not to flip out..but i dont know what else i would do..or where i would go..i cannot stay home i will flip out...my parents dont want me here and im ok w/ that because i dont want to be here
sorry..i know i am flipping out but COME ON...*sigh*
I know..i need to trust God i need to know that he is in control and that he has my best interests..and that he never will do anything to hurt me...
*slam*

Well..tomorrow I head back to NY. i get to spend one night at the B.I (bible institute) were i will be in another couple of weeks..but i have to go home for about 12 days...after the one night of joy...*sigh* It saddens me to go back so soon but it will be nice at the same time. I am going to get a tattoo fixed, and i am going to enjoy air conditioning and hopefully..I SAY HOPEFULLY see my sister..who i miss..A LOT <3 ..anyway...that is what has been going on and i am terribly sorry for not writing in so long...i will try to write every day..although tomorrow might not happen :)

I also have decided im going to be myself..or well better put, who God has made me to be.. I am done trying to make other people happy...it isnt the way i was made to live, and i refuse to do it :) ANY LONGER :-D
God you are so good, and you are the only voice that i should be listening to. Lord I know you put many things into my life that I dont particularly like, but Lord you are in control of it all and i am so thankful for that. God thank you for giving me people in my life who really love me. Lord who really care for who i am and what ive been through. and God i thank you that you love me regardless of all ive done to hurt you Lord, all i've done to ruin your name. You are so forgiving and so amazing. Lord help me forgive those who hurt me God, who all they want to do is put me down. I know that isn't your will Lord so i ask for those people to realize what they are doing to themselves by acting like that towards people, and lord help them grow in you
thank you Lord

A lesson from Hosea
Hosea 2:13-16 (New International Version)
13 I will punish her for the days
she burned incense to the Baals;
she decked herself with rings and jewelry,
and went after her lovers,
but me she forgot,"
declares the LORD.
14 "Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the desert
and speak tenderly to her.
15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor a]">[a] a door of hope.
There she will sing b]">[b] as in the days of her youth,
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
16 "In that day," declares the LORD,
"you will call me 'my husband';
GREAT ARE YOU LORD AND WORTHY OF PRAISE.....
Lord thank you so much for all you've done for me. Lord thank you for showing me your love, and especially your grace and mercy when I do stupid things Lord. You are my all in all, you are the only thing Lord that keeps me going and i am so thankful for that. Lord im thankful that you have put in my life the people that I love. Lord the people that maybe i dont love as much as i should. Help me with that Lord..help me realize why you put these people in my lives, and help me love them just as much as you do. God you are SO GOOD
Amen

He is so faithful
was a great day! I Went to the island..and got to see my friends! Oh how exciting to see how God is working in the lives of my friends on the island, and in these teen girls lives!! HOW THEY CHANGE.. It was really really cool! got to sit under the teaching of wise men of God..so good just to hear the lessons again. i've heard some of them before but oh what God teaches you when you are really listening and want to learn from his word..it was so key to me today...
:::that all I can do is abide...that's all I have strength to do..and even that strength is from him::: praise the Lord that he has such power and strength..to give us power and strength <3.....
Going home tomorrow...I don't want to. id love to stay in North Hudson forever, or hey maybe at the island with my friends for the last 2 weeks..but that isn't what God has for me..and I am excited to see what the rest of the summer brings. and the good God has in it for me :)...for I KNOW he is faithful..even when im not :)

I am so excited to see God and his good through all of this..it still hurts a lot ..but i am so thankful for people like the bennetts..that show me the good, and who hang out with me and just get my mind off the hard things..lol
Hes been showing me so much just lately about what he does for us and what he can do through us if we give him our whole lives..if we dont just give him bits and pieces..like oh yeah Lord you can have my ...time but not my love life, or Lord those friends..they are....well I know they arent the best Lord but.. *shakes head*
Im learning SO much about his sovereignty and his love...
Tuesday, August 3, 2010

Thank you for being the one who loves me when no one else does. and lord the one who loves me more then anyone else COULD love me even if they tried.

G-O-N-E
Ok! I just thought id let you all know that I am going to be away for the week...tonight until the following sunday. It will go by fast I assure you ;) and you won't miss me to much ^_^ I am going to my "new" aunts house. she is my age and I am very excited to be spending a week with her..and just a teaser..when i come back..i'll be different. im not going to share exactly how yet but...You'll know thats for SURE <3
Communion what is it/isn't it
WHAT COMMUNION ISN'T::::
*It doesn't save you-acts 16:31;Ephesians 2:8-9;Romans 10:9-10
*It doesnt make you a better Christian- col 2:10
*Isnt showing you are in good fellowship with God -matthew 22:37-40;Galatians 5:22-23
*Doesnt in itself restore fellowship with God -1 corinthians 11:1;1 john 1:9,Revelation 2:5 (REPENT)
*Will not have communion during the millenium. it will happen until he returns.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
WHAT COMMUNION IS:::::
*it is for believers 1 corinthians 11;1 corinthians 1; Hebrews 12
*A matter of obedience-1 corinthians 11:24
*Intended to be a showing of your relationship with God vs 29 of 1corinthians 11.
vs 29-examine yourself...examine=inspect closely=
*communion is to remember what Christ did..his death. it is in essence a memorial service.
(John 3:16,Romans 5:8, 1John 5, Acts 4:2;John 10:17-18,Philippians 2:7-8)
It is so easy for us sometimes to forget exactly what God had to deal with when we live our daily lives. Communion really is for us to stop and think about exactly what he went through and how we need to remember that.
(HE DID IT FOR ME) REMEMBER THAT

bitter oblivion
what started your selfinjury habit and how were you able to finally stop??
Started it? control..I wanted control over the things in my life and wouldn't give it to God..what stopped it? I struggle still but giving my problems to God..just giving up that control that I didn't really have in the first place
I AM SO BORED
Tuesday, July 27, 2010
Heavy Hearted
Lord..help me not want to do what I want Lord..but help me be more like you everyday..Lord empty me of what is like myself..and give me more of you daily....moment by moment Lord make me like you...Help me show love to those who need love more then they know. Lord help me be a light to this world Lord..and not a hypocrite ....I love you Lord
amen

dd
I'm at war with the world
And they try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slipping from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
I'm at war with the world
'Cause I ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what, I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up in the dark
I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms, I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up

Summer tHuS faR
Week1-w-o-w week Hen House 1 getting me back in the mood for counseling...to show people God's love..and just.. the joy that you get from ...really learning people...even who were born in christian homes, and people who are supposed to know "everything" really need as much help as everyone... who wasn't born in a christian home ;)
Week2-stonewall..oh man...God just taught me...UGH just how to love..and how to be there for other counselors. God did so much in my patience that week and i am so thankful for that..I can honestly say that even though it was hard...
Week3-OH MY WORD....Culvene *sigh* ....let me tell you God worked the most in this week...( i know it has only been 4 weeks right now but....) OH...wow God wow..he totally blew up my thoughts of him. He showed me how selfish I am, how much i thought I knew how to love..and God shot that down and showed me how much i didnt know about his love or about him...*shakes head* He also showed me my fear of man and the fact that i have a control issue...::: BUT I DECIDED I AM GOING TO 2nd YEAR::::
Week 4-well..i cant say much of the campers except i know God will do something..sadly ive been sick most of the week so idk...I was in sick bay yesterday...and oh it was not such a good day in my thinking (although i do know God has a plan)...anyway ...im still in quarantine..well (kinda) Im at the Bennett's house right now relaxing and just enjoying family !!! I am excited to see what God has for me..and my friends...
im going to try to continue writing about my summer..hopefully it wont take me to week 8 to write about the rest ;)
blogger or stalker?
lol..that is the end of my rambling

Canada eh?
wow...what a week God has blessed me with...from the 4th till today what a fantastic time! from hanging out in her house to going to the bay..man it was just a fantastic time of worshiping God and just hanging out with her, and her family!! =D It was a long drive from NY to Canada but i must say i pretty much loved every minute of it..except when i spilled ketchup on my new chucks..but even then it was ok..Jenn's mom was so wonderful and fixed it for me ^_^. Getting into Canada wasn't very hard for me..they weren't very nice to Jenn...which is funny to me, since she is after all Canadian but anyways...
We wrestled a lot..and took road trips and i beat her down completely ;) lol ok maybe not always..but it was honestly just a fantastic relaxing week of sleep, trying new things and getting into Gods word..I will probably write more when im actually...ya know awake but for now its good...
Saturday, June 5, 2010
O CANADA
I am not to excited about leaving..i know that's going to be a sad day..but i know God gives the strength and not more then we can handle with him...so im not to worried...after i get back i'll figure if im working on the island or not..then we'll go from there..
I DONT have my cell right now because it doesnt work in canada..or i should say it costs bookuu amunts of money to use it so..if u txt me and i dont anwer thats why..not cause im being a jerk ;) LOL <3

I went to the Orthopedic Surgen today. He said that I need to go to physical theropy 3x's a week for 6-8 weeks....
*sigh*
I am not sure if i am going to be able to work on Word of Life Island now..*sigh* But I know that God is in control so..I shouldn't be worrying..in whatsoever thing..be content...lol
*Shrug*
oOoOo and..on Friday i make my way to CANADA <3
To you know who you are
TO all guys out there...who LISTEN TO PEOPLE::: If I don't want to date you...if i dont feel it's were God is leading me im not going to..and any other God fearing girl would tell you the same. and if a girl makes that decision...DONT STALK HER LIKE A FREAK...im not going to lie it doesn't make a girl want to date you any more..not at all..(in case you wondered) ....if they tell you that they cant do it respect it and be a gentleman.. the more you write and the more you obsess the more horrible it makes you look.....
*Sigh*
THE END
Monday, May 31, 2010
yep
I was reading Romans the other day and it just...wow it just hit me hardcore..but like *shrug* i don't know..i get it how good God is and such but like..sometimes..i don't want to care and that is so wrong i know..
I've been having mad issues sleeping..and so ive been taking sleeping pillz..and they've been working really great quite honestly but im getting sick of the effects and so i think im not going to take them anymore..and im a bit nervous about telling my dc..and im a bit nervous about not being able to sleep....BLAH

/...
Ready to be done? yes...
I just feel sometimes like i need to get out of here..it's like that when so many things are on our minds and we just cant seem to get them out..when you
are just so sick of all the wrong that you do..and even when you try to do the right thing you feel...like you'll never accomplish the right thing. im there right
now and it really sucks..it's like im trying to fight this battle...im letting God have it but then i screw up..when i dont even think...*sigh* anyway..i just..im not
sure what's wrong with me and why my attitude is so crappy but im getting sick of it ....My "friends" Dont even try to encourage me it seems..and when i do
mess up all they seem to enjoy is bringing me down kinda laughing it up you know? *Sigh* Im ready to be done Lord....
In other news..today was work day on word of life island..and let me tell you something..i was so angry that i had to go..bad night last night and just fought
to have a good attitude..and you know i tried to do it by my own bootstraps..but how foolish of me...to think that i could do it.....
*Sigh* Lord take this horrible attitude away from me. Im done fighting you God, im done doing the things my flesh wants to do. Thank you for people who
point out my problems to me Lord and show me more and more what it's like to be you even though i think i hate it...

ANGRY
Furthermore this is some of the crap that I'm talking about! "Why do you need to talk about me?" Oh boo hoo! Woe is me! Grow up. I mean that int he nicest way possible. First of all, Kevin asked about the reason I came up, "if it involved a certain somebody". Next time get your facts. I also knew that you would pull the God card. You really don't want to change. If you did you would have started by now. You are the same Sarah as last spring. That is the problem. Changing (just like salvation) begins with a conscious decision to turn from your sins. I've started realizing the need for change, and the need for God to change that. I also don't think that you know what grace really is!
Don't take this as an offensive letter and disregard it (which I'm sure will happen!). I'm telling this because I hate you. I'm telling you this because I love you. I do. Maybe it is changing, but I still hold you up to the same standard as I've always had. I still give a crap, and will be saddened upon your hurt, but I'm looking to be too involved in your life anymore. I'm too dangerous for you, and you are too dangerous for me. It works both ways.
May you grow in the grace and knowledge (truly grow, not just simmer) of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Michael Beauharnois
REALLY!??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
To you..
HOW do you help someone
who doesnt want help?
They say they want to change...
But when you try they say thnx..but no thanks
It's losing me....
and im afraid im losing them
I want to help so badly
God your the only answer to this issue
Make her see the pain i feel..
Show her how much I care
That this isnt something i enjoy
That being right isn't a thing i like
I love her and want whats best for her...
AHHH WHY CANT YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME
I know what it's like to struggle with addiction ...
I know that its harder then people think...
And the only answer is God

Im ganna be around
I wrote this poem and wanted to share it
Holding on to the branch weakly
I ask for forgiveness,begging meekly
Lord my heart was torn in two
The only one I should serve is you
I grasped the branch with all I had
The memories, they all hurt so bad
Like crashing wind and rain it slashed
My heart felt like garbage, it felt trashed
I grabbed the sword and cut through
Looking for the good, what was true
Ask for forgiveness and it is yours
He is always knocking on those doors
To your heart, let him have it all
Thank you Lord

Our God
Who loves life more then our God? NO ONE..ok so yeah..lately life hasn't been what exactly id call enjoyable..but w/e it happens right?? So i've been thinking about Romans 8:28,29..all things word together for Good for those who have been called, and you know...(Read the verses lol) I thought it was so cool..and a great reminder..[[ALL]] things! Word for [[good]]...ok so not just the things we like, not just the things we have control over.. ALL things happen so that we are brought closer to God..and I just really enjoyed that today.. I have been dealing with stuff but our God is so good and i just wanted to update that :)<3

1 Corinthians 1 - Passage Lookup - New International Version - BibleGateway.com
Right now
Oh,
God i am so frustrated and hurting..i am so lost in the right thing to do. when i do the right things people seem to get so angry..when i try not to use people, and not lead them on Lord it's as if the whole thing was my fault anyway. God i just want to do whats right in your eyes, and Lord you know my heart better then anyone, even I. So Lord please take this pain, and if you see it fit for the pain to stay, show me Lord what I am to do with it. because it hurts so bad....I am just...lost in confusion, but you Oh Lord are the God of organization not chaos..bring me to my knees..rid me of myself oh Lord...
*Sigh*

Frustrated...Why wait?
So many things are going on in my mind..and im questioning so much…right now I just..i don’t know. I lost friends, im losing friends and I just..I don’t know. My grandpa is having surgery tomorrow on his heart. I am not excited about that..Im really hoping not to have to go to another funeral. My mom lost her mother and I don’t think she will be ok if she loses her father. School has been stressful and I feel like im being judged a lot. I am working on that feeling, and trying to keep my mind on things of God, but Oh Lord I am so frustrated and you know that…They are making my friends take out their dreads…and I am quite worried that Gauges will be the next thing to go..if they make gauges go..I am to afraid I wont be able to deal w/ it..do you know how much money I spent on these….*Sigh* I guess I Shouldn’t think about it right now. That doesn’t make anything better… but anyway yeah…Im working snack shack again this weekend when I REALLY…kinda wanted to counsel my snow camper from last year but *shrugs* I guess that is where God wants me…and I can deal with that. My dc is gone this week and it feels like a major hole L I love her lots and miss her but she will be back Saturday (so LONG) I’ve done a lot of my school work and gotten it in on time and it isn’t in my grades yet and so they have gone down and im upset about that..I am going to have a talk with them…I am going to have to..I cannot risk failing again especially when im trying hard…why does it feel like the school is against me…. L
UGHS ……..I need attitude help. I just want to tell the whole admin office how I feel..and that’s so wrong
