Love Never Fails.

Lately things in the Martin household have not gone great. Mom isnt getting enough hours at work, dad had to fight to get unemployment, and I was overdrawn at the bank. What I want to know now is will it get better? ANd I dont mean a quick couple of day fix. I mean where we wont have to worry about things like money and shelter and be able to keep all the focus on God. I know he wants us to focus on Him but its getting hard too. Its hard to not stress about what is going on in my situation. We m… Continue

Well its christmas day and 3 o'clock in the morning. Either I cant sleep or too excited about today. I wanted to spend some time with Jesus before I got down to the celebration. So here it goes.

Dear Jesus,

Happy Birthday! Im so blessed I could celebrate this day with you. I couldnt sleep very well last night but for the wrong reasons. I was so excited about opening up gifts that I tend to forget what the real reason for the season was. ALL ABOUT YOU. As I sit here at my computer I tend to thi… Continue

Well everything was going fine and swell until my doctor called. See I got my thyroid checked cause I wanted to see if it was the reason for my recent weight gain. At the same time she also suggested I get my blood sugar checked. Well fortunately my thyroid was great but my blood sugar wasnt. She said the test came back 126. Which means Im borderline diabetic. I got so scared. I thought oh man I am going to have to watch what I eat. Sugar runs in my family. Only a few people got it but I never t… Continue

Its that time of year again. The smell of baked goods in the air. People coming over. But most the time having to wonder if everything is going to turn out alright. Truth is a lot of people end up worrying about other impressions than who they really are. Most people use this time to impress and not a time to enjoy ones company. But I say this year, just be yourself. Why? Because you dont need to have all that pretty wrapping. big bows or $100 gifts to impress God. Giving him his praise is what… Continue

hi guys. been feeling a little scared about our family's future. See we have this problem thats mstly only new home owners have, a mortgage. Its really hard for us to save up and move forward in life when you have this payment to make. So im going to say this as my myccm internet user will. If anything should happen like if we end up losing the house and being on the street, I want to say thank you for being my friends on here. I don't like the outlook of our lives here so if anything does, I… Continue

Well that time is here again. Seems like years go real fast. Well this year is going to be rough in a way. Work is getting slow down there where my mom and dad work. So of course dad gets laid off cause hes a temp. Mom isnt sure if she can get a full week now and we need our furnace worked on. But we think it needs the oil line replaced. I pray to God its our FINAL solution. If not a plentiful Christmas, A WARM HOUSE! Last year was rough. I was the only one who really got us our Xmas gifts. B… Continue

For a while now I have been hiding. Not wanting to do anything being antisocial. But most of all I have been hiding from God. For the past month and a half I have not gone to church. Now dont get me wrong. I know you dont need to go to church to be with God. But going there is what God sees as a worthy sacrifice to his people. See, being at home you tend to get distracted by many things. In church, you know why you are there. You are there to focus only on him. I havent been giving my weekly sac… Continue

I need to talk about something. I havent been to church the past five Sundays. Why? I can handle it now. I love God and everything he has done but for the past month I have been struggling SO bad. I feel bad going to church when I cant focus on him. ANd the more I struggle the more going to church and praising Him seems like a chore. And when it feels like this I dont wanna go. I ask God to help me but He doesnt seem to give me the answer. I have a few friends at church that check on me and ask… Continue

Well its offical. The Martin household is wireless. Yeah decided to do this ever since I got my laptop. happy about it too. It was a bit costly but worth it. Mom has also got the internet and cant keep her off the pc lol. Its great to be this way. Now I have privacy a little bit. Not to do anything bad or anything ;). Just wanted it. Its great to be wireless. And my aunt in Kentucky couldnt be happier. We spent almost an hour chatting online me, my mom and my aunt. Its fun. Later.

In these hard times people do almost about anything to keep their cool, insanity and especially hope. But for some who dont have to worry may not completely get it. Its hard to feel that someone is out there whether you are a non believer or even a full blown christian. But think about this. FOr those hunting for a job or just lost one, think about why this may have happen, spiritually. Truth is we get SO caught up in the fast pace of work that we dont see what truely matters. If you really some… Continue
