Crayola spits a word
Yo what up everyone out there. I know it’s been forever since we put up a blog. Just wanted to encourage all of you out there who are going through it. One thing God has shown me is that this world is not great at all. It gives out a lot of pain, heartache, and hurt. We’d have to be insane or crazy to think we can find satisfying joy in anything in this world.
I have lost friends and family members, even neighbors this year. I’ve heard about supposed Christians turning their back on God to chase the world. (Jer. 2:13-14)
When it is all said and done if you are looking for peace if you are struggling with life, if you are feeling lower than low…look at Romans 8:20-23. Paul tells us that after Adam fell (ate the fruit)this world and the people in it basically had no purpose. We all became slaves to sin and hopelessness.
But there is hope that God will set us free from slavery to sin and adopt us as His Children.
When it’s all said and done God tells us in verse 23 that we will “groan” or be pained for the day when we see Jesus. Meaning that life here is not the greatest and is at times painful, but there will come a time when we will see our Glorious savior.
So when times are hard and life is difficult rest in hope that you’ll see a better day with no more tears and pain.
Remember to live is Christ and to die is gain.
We love yall here at Reach and wish we had time to kick it with everyone of you. Everyone here is hard at work and 2008 you WILL be flooded with stuff. Curriculum, DVD’s, and NEW CD RELEASES!!! Holla at us!

Hey Crae, I just wanted you to know that God sees our pain and feels for us always. Though it often appears that this world is just full of pain, and suffering; god always has people whose hearts are set on those who work diligently for the Lord and suffer. I assure you not one tear you cry will ever go unnoticed by the Lord who seeks to offer his people comfort in this life and eternal peace in the next. My prayers never leave you and they never will. Man of God, on behalf of myself and My Lord; We Love you too!!! Take care, I'll see you in Detroit, hope to meet you man!!!!
Until Then,
-Nick-

Sometimes I feel I can get so caught up doing the "Christian life" that I forget one day the battle with unbelief, lust, and guilt will be over. Truly, I find myself "groaning" in longing for the day "when my hope will become sight." Sometimes I find myself gazing up at the stars or clouds and picturing it ripping open and temporality being obliterated by the return of the Risen and Glorified King. It is GOING TO HAPPEN...and as this reality sinks in, I find myself in the manifest presence of God, and the burden of living holy and obedient becomes so light because the joy produced in meditating on my hope, Jesus, is my strength "to do that which I see the Father doing." Truly, joy is the fuel of service in the Christian life as we allow God to be our faith, hope, and love.

I sometimes get weary in this walk especially in a day where we are coming close to the end....It aint easy being a teen in the end times. I feel for the youngins who are coming up right after me. How will they handle the mess to come? Paul says that soon no one will listen to sound wholesome teaching, which is happening now, and that they will listen to what their itching ears want to hear. Itz happening, Itz all happening and all I want is to get Closer to God and find saftey away from this world of confusion, but sometimes I get angry at myself, feeling selfish, because I shut myself out from the world around me yet I sing "send me" or "unashamed." when people are spiritually crying out for freedom from their chains I put on my Ipod headphones to tune them out(figuratively). I feel fake at times, yet I walk around and I see people faker than I am and I'm like I'm tired of counterfeit faith ...Itz time to get real. When will it all get better for us again.I want my Jesus I need Him I feel I've gotten lost somewhere in the life He's given me my only desire is to come Home. But Idk exactly how.

If Ur A Christian Can U Still Get A Tattoo? just wanna kno
courtney b
– Feb 26 2008
.... well anybody can get a tattoo... even Christians.... yeah... they can get a tattoo... but should they, NO.
God clearly tells us in His word that we are to NOT get tattoos in Leviticus 19:28
And He also tells us that our body is a temple of the Lord our God. Something Holy, A place of worship... Like a Church....A temple. Would you spray paint a Church? I pray that you would not. Our Body is temple just like a Church is a temple... and tattoos are like grafiti on a church....And whats worse is that Churches are man made...God made us... How can we as believers desecrate something He created, something He gave us...our bodies..
Thats what we do when we put tattoos on our bodies...valdalize a temple of The Lord
I hope that clears is up
get back at me,

I was wondering one day why do we discredit people within the christian community for the way they worship and praise god. We need to pray and uplift eachother. We have people who disagree with people who listen to charismatic teaching but then turn around and ask for a donation. There is something wrong with that.

umm. tattoos. Hmmmm Revelation 19:16. and your body being a temple for the Lord is taken out of context. in that passage it is talking about sexual purity.

Happy late birthday! I think hiavng a kids' birthday party is a fantastic idea. One of the things I was most excited about when I found out I was pregnant was being able to do kid stuff again(and not look like a crazy woman.) :)
