WE MUST GIVE OF OURSELVES 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 stumbleand 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 weakAnd need His strength to carry on.When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not bragging of success.I'm admitting I have failedAnd 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 visibleBut, 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 heartachesSo I call upon His name.When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not holier than thou,I'm just a simple sinnerWho received God's good grace, somehow! I like to: write sing dance act try different foods and new things watch scary movies on friday and saturday nights (that's family time) I place my care's,my fear's,my loved one's,my friend's,my enemies, all in the hand's of A Great King,even when at my weakest moment's it seem's as if He isn't there,He assure's me that in His arm's is where I am, along with all the burden's I carry(Psalm 46:1),(Isaiah 41:10),(Matthew 11:28)!! He promises to never fail me nor forsake me(Hebrews 13:5)!! If there is anything in this life I do trust,it's those FOOTPRINTS in the sand!!! I like being me!!One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it: "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The LORD replied: "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
Music
I love southern rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet and Rossington Collins, to name a few. I love all types of music,there really isn't much that I don't like listening to.Country,rock,heavy metal,soft classic, alternative, techno, rap, christian, it all sounds great to me.
Movies
I love to watch my favorite movies on a rainy night, like Storm of the Century, The Lost Boy's, and, oooh, Thirteen Ghost! When ya got a big ole man ta cuddle up with like I have, well ya just got it like that! What can I say?
Television
I like watching Lifetime movies, especially the ones that make me cry. I love true stories or stories that seem real. I hate reality show's and in today's world there are sooooo many that there is just no getting out of it, so I just shut the telly off! My favorite's will alway's be up close and personal, any bible story. Now that's a reality show that can bring you back to life. Let me get an Amen up in here!!!!!
Books
As long as my faith in "HIM" is strong, I can overcome trials and tribulations!
The Cross In My Pocket
I carry a cross in my pocket, A simple reminder to me That I am a Christian, No matter where I may be.
This little cross isn't magic, Nor is it a good luck charm. It isn't meant to protect me From every physical harm.
It's not for identification For all the world to see. It's simply an understanding Between my Savior and me.
It reminds me too, to be thankful For my blessings every day, And to strive to serve Him better In all that I do or say.
When I put my hand in my pocket To bring out a coin or a key, The cross is there to remind me Of the price He paid for me.
It's also a daily reminder Of the peace and comfort I share With all who know my Master And give themselves to His care.
So, I carry a cross in my pocket Reminding none but me That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life, If only I'll let Him be.
God's word is my book interest.Make it a must in YOUR life.Start living and learning the Truth in John 3:16

Reflect the heart of Jesus Let nothing block your way May others see so clearly The good you do today. Seek the light of Jesus Let prayer be your guide May others see so clearly The joy you cannot hide. Pursue the truth of Jesus Let justice set your sail May others see so clearly The way that will not fail. Walk the path of Jesus Let devotion set your pace May others see so clearly The conviction on your face. Accept the gift of Jesus Let Calvary pay your cost May others see so clearly The man upon the cross.

SHIRLEY AND MERCY LUV JESUS!!! I am enjoying leading my very own YOUTH CHURCH. Revolution Youth Church Rocks! We have had two services already and its on fire. Thank you God for blessing me Posted at 7:49 AM Nov 13 from Mobile view more
Get More at COMMENTYOU.comMy name is Shirley.I am 42 year's old. Taking Pride in representing Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and America. I am a born again christian. I am fire baptized, holy spirit filled. A true believer of Jesus Christ and a disciple of God! This proves that I am not perfect, but reminds me daily that I am loved unconditionally by the creator Himself. This help's me walk by faith and not by sight, making my faith stronger so that God can lead me onto a greater, much better path! Although my gift from the father was Jesus Christ, it was Jesus' life and death that blessed me with my children and gave me a second chance to be a mother,a title I am proud to hold.
I have 4 children whom I have raised up to be mighty soldiers of God. Using their knowledge of the truth, their tongue as a weapon and their love for other's they work on a daily basis trying to introduce to the world , salvation! Being everyday normal teenagers help's other's realize God is fun and joking is good. I sometime's push them too hard, but only because I know what my children can achieve,and giving in wouldn't be fair to them. My 22 year old daughter is beautiful. She sing's beautifully and is an artist, her drawing's are great. She will be attending school soon for criminal law. I know that one day she will be performing in front of million's. My 21 year old daughter is also beautiful and is THEE house drama queen.She is very smart and creative. I know that she will one day run her own restaurant,it's in her. Peppy and moi-moi mommy will alway's love and support you! My 14 year old son amazes me with his love for animals and as I watch him educate himself on his own interest just take's my breath away! One day he will run the show as he think's he does now.My special baby, you do not run the show yet, but mommy loves you anyway! My 3 year old daughter, hmm, let's see. She runs any show! Mommy's lil' angel, you DO run the show and mommy loves you and your unstoppable ways.
As you see I have taught my children well, but I didn't do it alone. I have my best friend, my husband whom I have been married to for 27 years. He is the ultimate provider and will do anything for us. He can do anything and is alway's prepared for the worst. He does his best at any job and never gives up. Although the road get's a little bumpy here and there we alway's manage to keep on truckin', alway's keeping in mind that God never promised that it would be easy, He only promised it would be worth it and so it has been! On that note, let me get an AMEN!!!Thank you God, and thank you babe, I will 4ever love you!!So now that you've heard about all the important thing's in my life, let's talk about the thing's that are not so important.
I love to write, I have 5 poems published on the internet and in a few anthology books, to name a few, moments to reflect, western world. You can purchase any of these book's through the website or your local library. I am currently working on a book that has been accepted for publication and will be availiable for purchase within the next year. There will be more info on that soon, please look for that in a few weeks. Aside from writing I enjoy singing,dancing and drama. Not to sound too stuck on myself, but I am good at all 4 things. My favorite motorcycle is..... The one and only Harley Davidson, live to ride,ride to live. I am a biker at heart, American made!Do I like old classic cars? Hec yeah! Big muscle cars? No punch buggying here!! Hehe! Too cool for that.
My motto: I'd rather be hated for who I am, than to be loved for who I'm not. Here's some advice, use this motto yourself and you'll soon find out that being yourself is in fact the best route to go! My favorite color? Well,color. I really have none. My best friend? Ha! My husband and kid's. No one can ever wear those shoes. It's KSSMMK4EVER. There isn't a single soul out there I trust, This does not mean that our door's are closed, we are always open to people that need us No matter how much we've been hurt. Second chances? Why not!
4 those of you that believe in us, and have stuck with us, keep in mind that there are gonna be a lot of good things happening soon, but only very few will come along for the ride. You know who you are! We are gonna strike it rich, God hasn't stopped blessing us, there's more. So hang in there. SHOW ME DA MONEY!!!!!!!!! Thank's 4 reading "ME", may God continue to bless all of you. Love shirley.
MY OLDEST DAUGHTER SENT THIS TO ME. THE TOP HALF WAS WRITTEN BY MAX LUCADO AND THE BOTTOM HALF WAS WRITTEN FROM HER HEART. THANK YOU PEPPY. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU! MOMMY!
"Then Jesus went about a stone's throw away from them. He kneeled down and prayed." Luke 22:41The final prayer of Jesus was about you. His final pain was for you. His final passion was for you. Before He went to the cross, Jesus went to the garden. And when He spoke with His Father, you were in His prayers...And God couldn't turn His back on you. He couldn't because He saw you, and one look at you was all it took to convince Him. Right there in the middle of a world which isn't fair. He saw you cast into a river of life you didn't request. He saw you with a body which gets sick and a heart which grows weak...On the eve of the cross, Jesus made His decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you.
When we first come to know the Lord as our personal savior, we are on this spiritual high. Just know that satan doesn't want you there. You will be left neglected by people you care about most. You will be judged. Your sins will be thrown at you. Temptation will beat it's nasty chest at you. You will be attacked probably more than you have ever in your whole life. Jesus knows what that feels like. And He endured it all for YOU! Remember that! Keep your focus on Him, and you'll never come down, He'll only take you higher. Keep in mind that satan is a bluff. He has no control. Did you know that the devil still has to ask God for permission. He isn't free to do what he pleases. He can't force us into sin. We choose. God loves us that much. He paid a price for us to choose our destination. I'm glad we're on the same flight! Love u mommy,Peppy
Who I'd like to meet:
I must represent the most important thing in my life, the REASON for being, the PURPOSE of life, the JOY of living, the UNSHAKABLE ROCK that I stand on, the HOPE that can't be crushed, the only TRUTH out there that has standed the test of time, Giver of life and taker of life, in whom all will have to bow down one day either now or when their DEAD, the only joy giver,the only TRUTH that is not RELATIVE, In case you dont know, Jesus Christ, My God, My Savior. Get to know Him!
SHIRLEY AND MERCY LUV JESUS!!!'s Friend Space (Top 38)
Past the sliver called today on the edge of tomorrow where dreams are made I venture through shallow streams in hope of finding the river deep. I plunge head first into these thoughts, unraveling the mystery that I have sought, to see the picture crystal clear, the face of my precious friend that I hold dear. And when the fog rises with the dew I will not stop in my pursuit, for lonely and fear stay on the roam, but here in my heart you always have a home.
"Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness." - Psalm 107:8-9
