Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out my blog! I'm pretty new at this, but I spend waaaaay too much time on Facebook (along with half the world ;P ) and decided that having a blogging site to express my love for the Lord would be better than doing it on Facebook (though I may still for a while.. until the site picks up) because Facebook really sucks you in. You see pictures of your friends vacation, or a family event or you start looking at someone's profile, etc etc. It just becomes crazy! Do you really need to check all of your friend's statuses and look at their 200 new pictures (thanks Facebook for expanding the maximum pictures in an album...) ? But anyways, I'm not here to talk about Facebook! I'm here for all of you long-time, short-time, and new believers! I just thought this would be a cool way to connect with other believers.

If you're looking at this and you're thinkin' "What is this girl talking about?" I want to help you understand! If you haven't accepted Jesus into your heart and you're feeling that you should or you want to, I would so so so LOVE to help you! It's quite simple, you say a prayer and it's done. But it's much more than that, my friends! You bless and get blessed in return. It's the biggest commitment you will ever make, but it's SO rewarding!

So, if you wanna know more about God, message me or reply to this or whatever! I'll be putting up some already written blogs for you to read.
I love you all! I'll sign my posts 'Torch' because that's my nickname. My parents didn't name me Torch :) So, thanks for reading!

xo,
Torch.

following Him.

So, as a lot of you know, I am a strong believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. My life is all His and I will follow Him all day! Following Him isn't like Twitter, where you just click 'follow' and that's that. You get a few updates, or tweets, from Him once and a while, look at His page now and then. Following Jesus is a major commitment in your life, and the biggest decision to make, if you choose to follow Him your life will be changed forever. You'll hear Him tweeting to you all the time!!! You'll start hearing His beautiful voice, you'll start wanting to praise Him all the time and just want to please Him and make Him proud; I know I do! You'll want to just talk to Him and pray and just be with Him. But it isn't always good. You have to be strong while following Him, and your strength will come from Him, whenever you need it. Just build yourself up in His presence and pray, pray, PRAY! The reason you have to have strength is because the enemy will try and get you where your weak, whether it be through peer pressure, or doing something you know isn't right. The enemy thrives and that kind of stuff, but when you're walking with Jesus, you'll be the one making the enemy uncomfortable. We have to fight for our Savior, especially in today's society. People are cruel and judgemental. Well, I think that today's society needs to CHANGE! And what better way to change than accepting Jesus into their hearts and giving their life over to Him? I want people to SEE the miracles He works. The forgiveness and mercy He has!!! YOU GUYS!! Come on! Wake up! We're like an army! This is the war, we are the soldiers; Join the fight! The reason I get so excited about this is because I want EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE to know of His goodness and grace!!! He loves you to no end! If you do something bad, you ask for forgiveness and it's gone! He forgets it! Do you even know how AWESOME that is?! He just leaves it, like nothing happened, and keeps moving on as long as you do. He makes everything work together for your good. Ask and you shall receive. He is your provider!

--Jesus spoke again, "I am the light of the world, those that follow me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."-- if you're in the darkness, you don't have to be! He WILL give you the light of life so you can be a light unto all those who are still in the darkness!



Today's society is involved a lot with gossip and back stabbing. He is someone you can trust for ETERNITY. He'll NEVER tell your secrets and He'll ALWAYS help you! What ever the situation He is RIGHT there with you, holding your hand and telling you "Everything will work out. Don't be afraid or sad or mad or frustrated." When you call on Jesus, all things are possible. Those who have ears let them hear (!!!!!!) the voice of God directing them, putting them on the right path. Don't ever be upset with God, because it really is true; He does everything for a specific reason. He has put YOU on this earth for a specific reason! Whether it has to do with healing, preaching, whatever. He has put you here on purpose. There are NO accidents with God, everything will work out, He gives you His word!All you gotta do is want to follow Him, accept Him into your heart and hand over your life to Him! Now don't get the wrong idea about this, He doesn't just make you do stuff and that's your life. You still get to have fun, it's not all about rules and stuff. Though I suggest you read the "Ten Commandments" they changed a lot of my ways. He loves you guys, all of you. No matter WHAT. You just gotta see it, accept it and EMBRACE IT!!! It will change you in the BEST way possible!



All you who are going through a rough time in your life, just talk to Him, He will help you! --Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all those that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."-- You guys, it's so simple. --And then Jesus spoke. "Come, follow me."-- So SIMPLE! He just wants you to be with Him, following Him, so He can set his plans more in motion for you!



He is there you guys, and He is waiting for you to see Him, to hear Him, to praise Him and accept Him into your heart! --John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, but by me."---We won't relent until He has it all. Our heart is His! We are His bondservants. We do whatever He says. You guys, I wanna see more and more people getting saved, I wanna see this set in motion NOW not later, when I'm older and wiser because with God I and you (!) can do ANYTHING. And I won't stop until I have fully fulfilled His desires for me; what He wants me to do. And just because I'm young it DOESN'T mean I can't save people, or preach the Word, or tell everyone the Good News. It's a spiritual war guys, and WE ARE WINNING.
