Hello You
I figured that since our group is getting bigger and bigger, I should reward us all with a little poetry... But not just any old poetry, this piece is really something special (in fact, I made it my cell phone wall paper) and it has answered many questions for me, as well as for other people that ask why I am a Christian.
"When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say. "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow."
— Maya Angelou
I really love this one. Past it around, save it in your notes, and think of this when you need a little lift. I love you all and have a great day!

Faith-Fellowship-Fun
Got a request from !MereMcQueen314 (https://www.deviantart.com/meremcqueen314) to help promote her group, Faith-Fellowship-Fun, and so here is a random journal. But seriously, I don't really know what to write, so just get on over and check out the group at least. http://faith-fellowship-fun.deviantart.com/
And here are some really good Bible verses that I really enjoy, maybe they can lift up your spirits if you're having a bad day.
"I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you." John 14:18
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

NOTES :D
Hullo everyone :)
I just wanted to say that if anyone of you lovely people need prayer requests, feel free to leave notes with a request or message or something :) We recently just got one and I think that it is a WONDERFUL idea to do!
So thank you, you who sent us a note! We'll be praying!
Nothing much to say, but always know that here you have people that care for you and who can always pray for you!
God bless <3
Lets clear some things up...... It's very long...
Hey, it's Angie XD
I have to come and clear some things up....
Just because you wear a cross or have a cross with you everyday and every moment in your life doesn't mean God is with you...... JUST because you got a cross...
(Im sorry if I offended/ going to offend someone) I HATE it when someone says the cross or the bible (it can cast out demons by just its touch)has power.....
The bible gives power to those WHO READ IT .... The cross is a man made thing...... Jesus dies on the cross for our sins.... To be (opinion) it makes no sense wearing the cross or having the cross... it's a memory that Jesus died (flesh/body) I AM NOT SAYING YOU SH
