Don't stop

Okay.......
You probably stop.....
Like so......

Okay I'll stop and continue.
When you want to stop something and come back to it later you want to stop for good.
If you where in Sunday school as a kid then you probably remember the story of Jonah and the whale.
And the song Joshua fought the battle of Jericho.
But Jonah wanted to stop what they where told to do
And Joshua's soldiers wanted to stop marching.

Don't stop:
1: Being a good person
2: loving others
3: If you love God never stop loving him because he is eternal.

Joshua's story is very interesting
“Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in. Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.” So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.” When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them.”
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭6:1-8‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/jos.6.1-8.ni
Don't ya think they got tired and wanted to stop?

Jonah wanted to stop when he heard that he had to go to Nineveh!
So he got swallowed by the whale. But that didn't quite change his mind. He suffered from heat but yet God provided a plant to shade him but then God put a plant eating bug to teach Jonah. Jonah went to Nineveh.

Don't stop. Keep trying
Weather it's life your tiered of or if it's your job or relationship. Don't stop. Never quit life. Never quit your job if it's a great one. Never quit your relationship if it's a great one but if bad then get away.

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who is my strength

Jesus is eternal

What do you think about this?
Let me ask a question...
If you had 1 million dollars what would you do?
Would you buy the latest clothes or the new Apple iPad? Or the new televisions that have come out? What about a selfie stick? Or a new car? What about anything you wanted?

But what about God? What about Jesus? Why do we put idols in front of our Heavenly Father?

When I mean idols I mean everyday objects!

What about eternal life? That's something that you can keep forever!

Jesus died because he loves you. He didn't stretch those arms for nothing!
Have you asked yourself where you'll go when you die? Maybe you think you'll go to heaven just by being good? No!

Here's a bible verse for that
“As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/mrk.10.17.niv

Jesus replied
 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’ ””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:17-19‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/mrk.10.17-19.niv
““Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!” “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:20-31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To my brother or sister in Christ

Wherever you are you probably wonder what others think about what you wear or what you think about them.
I'm one of these people. I bet you are too because that's life

Now.... If we stop thinking of what people say maybe we could find out what God thinks about us

There is a bible verse on criticism that you should check out.

“Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa. The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him critically.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭31:1-3‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/1sa.31.1-3.niv

If you think positive on what people think about you instead of negativity then you would be less stressed


“So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2:15‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/2th.2.15.niv

Being who we are in Christ not the world

 What do you think about your heart? Not your beating heart but your spiritual heart,

On a scale of 1-10 rate how you feel

1: :) I've got it all together no worries
2: :} My emotions are happy but have little worry
3: :] I'm a little happy getting nervous with you asking questions
4: :/ I'm confused why are you asking
5: :| I'm getting a little worried
6: :( maybe I need some cheering up
7: :,( I'm sad
8: :,,,( I'm crying a river
9: X,,,( leave me alone I don't want help
10: =,,,C I'm done with my life I'm having a midlife crisis!

Why would you be 1 or 10? Or how about 9?

We need help from Jesus. Maybe because we need him more than ourselves.
Why do we need someone who is in heaven (Jesus) to help us?

“Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭38:22‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/psa.38.22.niv
I have yet another challenge for you
When thinking about how you feel write them down.

First love

I know teens are in love these days. I know. Maybe you have a BF or a GF at your school. Or  in youth group. Maybe their your friend or next door neighbor. Or if you have a crush on someone who you want to be your bae. Life is full of uncertainties and we don't know who we will end up with or who we will date. God does. Is your current boyfriend or girlfriend your "first love"?

What about Jesus? He's always been there since you were even thought about by your parents. He knows every hair and bones, teeth, lifespan, toes, your eye color, your height, etc. he knows who you are. And he loves you. Idk if you ever prayed that child hood prayer before bed
"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the lord my soul to keep. He loves me both day and night and even when I wake up in the morning light. If I should die before I wake my soul is for the lord to take. Amen"
Do you remember?

Or what about that food prayer
"Dear God thank you for this meal I revived and thank you for the sun to grow the plants which the seeds have sewn. Amen"

Or something similar
Do you remember?

But when we got older did we forget about God or did we just go in and did it our own way?

Jesus loves you. He always has for he will never leave you alone in your hardest moments.

I think as I write this blog I can relate to teenage pressure.

My personal story is amazing.

I recently realized that anxiety is a hard time in life. We all have it.
Praying is wonderful to solve problems with yourself.
And I realized that we should wait on the lord to bring us our wife or husband.
If you're a dude you might go after the ladies because of their bodies or pretty makeupy faces. When really you need to go after their heart.
Ladies if you read this blog every day after school or after I post you probably need to check out this blog I wrote

http://missjsmodestyblog.blogspot.com/


It's great but I'm working on it.
Don't let the men come to you meet them in the middle. The bible says that we love
“We love because he first loved us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/1jn.4.19.niv

On modesty and what to wear
“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/1ti.2.9.niv

My question is that do you remember the book of Esther?
What about queen vashti ?


Or what about Jezebel? In revalation

Those two women were self centered in theirselves than being in love with God.


What will you choose to be self centered or go with your first love (God)?

Selfies with friends but what about Jesus

In the world today we are a selfie centered world. We tend to even take photos of our food.
All this is nice. But... We tend to leave out someone in our selfie. No it's not our friends or family or ourselves. It's Jesus. Today's little kids are to obsessed with their mothers cell phone that there is no time to learn about Jesus. When I was a kid I only had the television and books and a bible and lots of toys. Maybe you think "what are selfies bad now?" No selfies are not bad but why should we only focus on ourselves than focus on God? I'm guilty of taking selfies. Yes they are memories that we can print out and save for the rest of our lives. But Jesus is a person who is eternal. So the question is.... Which is more important selfies or eternal life with God? If you say selfies then let me give you the definition of selfish.
having or showing concern only for yourself and not for the needs or feelings of other people
Jesus has feelings. He's not made up. He's the almighty. If you think that someone is higher power you probably picture money. A millionaire or  someone who has billions of dollars. I think higher power is God that's all that's ever been.
What about technology back then and I'm talking about 1900-1999?
They didn't know what a selfie was the 20th century was a century that had dancing and music. Yes they has radio news and show radio but they also had God. Maybe if you put yourself on a challenge on no selfies for a week you'll see the challenge that life holds. For one go outside don't play games all day go outside play basketball or football or baseball or a game that involves family and friends without having to take a selfie. Take a picture of nature. Post it to snapchat, Twitter,Facebook,Instagram, or send it to a friend or family member. 
“And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:30‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/1co.15.30.niv
Why do we endanger ourselves with this selfie centered world? What is the solution?
I challenge you to stop the selfies for a week. Or a month see where. It gets you.

The Christian nerd

Maybe being nerdy is you see a kid wearing suspenders and a bow tie (bow ties are cool)
In some movies and real life yes but I'm just a person who enjoys Star Wars!!!!!!
Being nerdy for God is another thing.
The lord sent us here for a reason. Maybe we don't get why. Maybe we want to know why.
I think he sent us to help others. Life is a trial of error. Plus who says we are perfect. Not the world. God thinks we are famous in his eyes. He knows our name. And knows every hair on our heads.
“And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:30‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/mat.10.30.niv

How he loves us all. Even when times get hard there is a time where God has the open arms to run to.

What about the teenage Christian nerd?
I'm not only a Christian nerd I'm not anything but a portion and God is my prize.
If you love Jesus then you could say your a teenage Christian nerd or if your a child still and you think about what will happen to yourself when you grow up? Don't worry. I've been there if your a kid with a sibling who is a teen then you know what? Share this with them.

Christian nerd  guidelines
1: Every morning wake up praise God for another day.
2: Look in your bible for a new verse but wait... Pray for God to find it for you
3: put on your spiritual armor.

“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:13-20‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/eph.6.13-20.niv

And last but not least
Love your neighbor as Jesus loves you.
“Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-40‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Welcome to the blog! 🤓

Hello,
I'm a nerd but I'm also a Christian. I'm just a fangirl, blogger, YouTube fanatic, (especially Blimey Cow. Check them out here.... https://m.youtube.com/#/user/blimeycow) I goto church on Sunday's. I'm also an author!
I'm no more ordinary than anyone else. But except I'm weird for God.
Now being a Christian you may think we can't do anything much except read our bibles and watch only rated G stuff but guess what NOT TRUE!  I'm a homeschooled high schooler with the smarts of being an actress, biology major (1year) and fashion guru. I'm just a girl who likes scifi to.

Maybe if you think about a Christian you think of the women only wear skirts in some cases we do enjoy it, and the guys only wear jeans or some slacks. Well that's the old days... 🤔🤔🤔
What else should I say.

When reading this blog you should try to think positive thoughts. Positive thinking on this blog is one thing that  I have to do because I'm writing it. And positive thinking on your side of the screen is reading and/or commenting.

One rule on comments...
Don't criticize.

Being weird for Christ is not going to church every Sunday, Wednesday. It's getting to know God in a  faithful, fun, easy, trial of error way, and if you think about it it's more than that... Its eternal.

“Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭96:2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

If you don't believe that and only believe that being good is a way into heaven... That's not it.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NIV

One thing you should know about me is I'm an introvert I'm very shy.

Being an introvert doesn't mean that we have to stay quiet it means we only think. But then we speak when needed... Which I'm coming out of being introverted.
The type of introvert I am is you ask me a question I'll answer. You tell me to ask someone something I'm running the other way.

But remember being weird for Christ is worth it and everything.

Stay strong stay positive and believe pray and fly..
