Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."

I believe in Jesus. And guess what? I'm proud to say I do. I'm proud to say I trust God and have faith in Him. If you're proud of that, and are willing to stand up for God, post this into your profile.

If you believe in Jesus Christ put this in your profile and don't just ignore this, because in the Bible it says if you deny Jesus, He will deny you in front of His Father in the gates of Heaven.

Hi, everybody! My name's downtonabbey15! I've been writing on here for a while

A Few Important Things about Me:

I'm a Christian and I'm not ashamed. A lot of my stories will have Christian themes, or at least talk of Christianity. Even if you don't believe, I hope you read them anyway.

I love history. It's my choice of study, and I hope to get to work in museum education or something like that one day.

I'm a Rusher!! I just recently got really into Big Time Rush and I'm so sad that I'm so late but honestly...their music makes me so happy. I'm so glad I found them.

I myself am a musician. I sing more than I play piano or ukulele, but I love all three pretty equally.

If you ever want to talk, just PM me. I might not understand what you're going through, but I can listen. I've been through some dark times recently, and God brought me out of it. I would love to pass it on.

A Few Fun Facts:

Favorite Show: Downton Abbey/ The Golden Girls/ Big Time Rush/ Gravity Falls

Favorite Movie: The Confession (the one about the Amish girl)

Favorite Artists: MercyMe, Lauren Daigle, Big Time Rush, Heffron Drive, Imagine Dragons, Bruno Mars

Hobbies: Theatre, singing, writing, needlepoint (Yes, I love those little cross-stitch kits from Michael's. . . you guys should try it, it's really relaxing), knitting, reading just about anything having to do with WWII

I've had two eye surgeries, the second of which didn't go so well so my glasses are outrageously thick, lol.

I have two dogs, Honey and Gemelli (Yes. . . that is a type of pasta. We're Italian, enough said).

I'm the most untech-savvy person you'll ever meet. iPhones are a struggle. . .

I own a set of authentic Russian Nesting Dolls (Is that weird? They're really neat. . .)

I'm pretty socially awkward and I have a hard time making friends. So in all likelihood, I want to talk to all of you, I'm just petrified to actually PM anyone, lol.

ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ALL MY WONDERFUL READERS:

I'm so, so sorry for my horrendous updating schedule. My schedule is nuts and when I finally do sit down I feel like there's nothing left in me to write. All of my stories are NOT discontinued unless otherwise marked. I'm trying a different approach to my writing now. I'm trying to pre-write all my stories before posting, to take a bit of the stress off of myself. This way I can take as much time as I like, and you all get a product that has been reworked and edited and scrutinized until I'm pleased with it. It's a win for everybody, I think.

Story Updates:

"Return to Downton Abbey" is in progress, and will be for some time. Please forgive my updating inconsistency. I began this piece nearly four years ago and didn't realize what a big thing I'd taken on. But it's close to my heart, so as much as I'd like to scrap it and redo it, I will continue with it just as it is. Thank you to everyone who has stayed with it.

"When Darkness Calls" -- Complete

"Beyond the Brooklyn Bridge" is being reworked. I've lost my motivation for it but my love for it is still there, and I know a few of you really like it, so please bear with me.

"Through My Eyes" -- Complete

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master...

He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher...

He had no medicine, yet they called Him Healer...

He had no army, yet kings feared Him...

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world...

He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him...

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today

Feel honored to serve such a leader who loves us...

I AM A PROUD CHRISTIAN. I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AND GOD.

If you believe in Jesus, copy and paste. Don't ignore it, because the Bible says that you should not deny Him, or He will deny you in front of his Father.

TRUE STORY

A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 of the people that read this won't repost it?

Repost this if you want others to believe in God.

PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what, and if you stand up for Him He will stand up for you.

Even when you can't see Him, GOD IS THERE!! If you believe in God, then put this in your profile. If you believe in Jesus Christ put this in your profile and don't just ignore this; because in the Bible, it says that if you deny Me, then I shall deny you before my Father in the gates of Heaven.

If you believe in Jesus Christ put this in your profile and don't ignore it because the Bible says that If you deny Me, I will deny you in front of My Father and the glory of Heaven.

Why do we sleep in church, but when the ceremony is over we suddenly wake up? Why is it so hard to talk about God, but so easy to talk about sex? Why are we so bored when we look at an Apostolic magazine, but find it easy to read Playboy? Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly myspace message, Yet we repost the nasty ones? Why are churches getting smaller, But bars and clubs are growing? Think about it, are you going to repost this? Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you'll get laughed at? Just remember God is always watching you.

NEW School Prayer:

Now I sit me down in school

where praying is against the rule.

For this great nation under God

finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,

it violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow

becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange, or green,

that's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

The law is specific, the law is precise.

Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall

might offend someone with no faith at all.

In silence alone we must meditate,

God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,

and pierce our noses, tongues, and cheeks...

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible,

to quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

and the 'unwed daddy' our Senior King.

It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,

we're taught that such 'judgements' do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,

study witchcraft, vampires, and totem poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

no word of God must reach the crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,

when chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make:

Should I be shot; My soul please take! Amen.

If you aren't ashamed to do this, Please pass this on.

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord, Savior, and Redeemer, and could not live without him in my life. If you do too, and aren't afraid to admit it, copy and paste this into your profile, and add your name to the list.

When you carry a Bible, the devil gets a headache.
When you open it, he collapses.
When he sees you reading it, he faints.
When he sees you living it, he flees.
And just when you're about to re-post this, he will try and discourage you.
I just defeated him. Copy, & Paste this if you're in God's Army(:

PLEASE READ.

I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back.

The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.

The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll."

Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?''

The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''

Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly.

The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.

"It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.

But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there."

His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''

My heart nearly stopped.

The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."

Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me. I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister."

Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. "Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''

"OK," he said, "I hope I do have enough." I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.

The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me enough money!"

Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!''
"I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.''
"My mommy loves white roses."

A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket.

I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.

Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl.

The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away.

I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.

She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.

I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Now you have 2 choices:

1) Repost this message.

2) Ignore it as if it never touched your heart

I didn't write it but when I saw it on somebody else's profile it touched my heart, so I had to repost. I hope you can repost as well.
