i am a believer...
i believe that God created the world in 6 days...
24 hour days.
and that He rested on the 7th.
i believe the serpent tempted Eve AND Adam
and that sin entered into our world.
i believe that God, Father, Jesus, Son, and Holy Spirit...uh..Spirit
are ONE.
yet THREE
i believe and it is clear to me, yet for me to put it into words - not something I am good at explaining.

i believe that Jesus came as a baby,
born to a virgin named Mary
I celebrate Christmas in December in honor of His birthday,
even though he probably wasn't born in December.
i believe that He lived a sinless life
even when tempted.
i believe He honestly cared for and loved the poor,
the fatherless,
the widows,
the prostitutes,
the thieves,
the 'sinners'
i believe He loved the Pharisees,
but their attitudes truly pissed Him off.
i believe that Judas had the unfortunate role of betraying Jesus.
i believe that Jesus still loved Judas,
even though He knew Judas was going to make some wrong decisions.
i believe that Jesus was crucified..
on a wooden cross, not a beautiful gold one.
i believe that it was horrible & gruesome.
i believe that Jesus didn't want to go through it
but knew it was what needed to be done so that He would be the final sacrifice for the sins of everyone.
but knew it was what needed to be done so that He would be the final sacrifice for the sins of everyone.
i believe He forgave his crucifiers,
and the mockers watching.
and the mockers watching.
i believe he did die on the cross.
i believe the Roman soldiers were good at what they did.
i celebrate Good Friday.
i remember that Jesus died, horribly, for me.
and you, and you, and you.....
i believe that Jesus was buried in a tomb
i believe that there was a huge stone blocking the entrance.
i believe the guards knew what they were doing.
I believe Jesus rose from the grave.
i believe He is no longer dead.
i believe that He rose form the dead to show death had no power over him.
for me..
and you and you and you.

for me..
and you and you and you.
i believe it as truth, not a hoax.
i believe He forgave Peter for denying Him.
i believe that the Holy Spirit stayed when Jesus went up to Heaven.
i believe Jesus is in heaven right now,
watching us and preparing things for each of us who love Him.
i believe in Jesus Christ and what He has done for me.
That's what I believe.
i also believe that i can screw up.
i am a human
if Adam and Eve could screw up and they actually walked with God,
and conversed with Him...
than i am not surprised when i mess up.
i believe the Holy Spirit is with me and giving me God's strength.
But i believe that i just need to keep trying to live like Jesus,
and relying on God for the strength I need each day.
