Wow, in so many way they have deepened my walk with Jesus!    I'm so thankful for my parents who tought/teach me the Word of God!  Thier consistent guidence and example is what showed me how important it is to REALLY study the Bible and study it in context!   These doctrines like Calvinism and Reformed Theology have helped me to trust God more, they helped me to see that He is sovereign, He is in full and complete control, and He is so much more full of grace, mercy and love than I can ever know!  The Cross has become the point of most importance to me and there is nothing greater or better  than that,   that can or will happen!     We can NEVER praise Him enough for that, and for all eternity we will worship Him for Redeeming us!   He ALONE is the Author of salvation!  He fully completed everything necessary  for our salvation, He didn't just make salvation possible and now we have to choose Him!!  Some Arminian preachers actually teach that "God cast His vote FOR you to be saved, Satan cast his vote AGAINST your salvation, and now you have to cast the winning vote!......what will you decide?  Will you vote to be saved?   salvation depends on your vote!!"  LOL, can you believe that?   No one cast thier votes for me to be saved or thrown into hell, Jesus purchased my salvation with His own perfect blood while i was still DEAD in my sins!   God had predestined me to salvation, He regenerated me, and the Holy Spirit drew me to Christ!   That is how i am saved, salvation is of the Lord!  my nature is depraved, I never would have chosen God.

Jesus......He's my Kindsman Redeemer!   He's made a covenant of love, sealed by His bood,  to me!

(Also, Boaz and Ruth!  I love their Biblical examples of manhood, womanhood, and courtship.)

I really want to be married and have children,  but yes, I'm content if singleness is God's plan for me!  The Lord knows my desire for a Christ-centered marrage, but who am I to be discontent with His will for my life if that is not His plan!  If He is glorified by me remaining single because that is what he has ordained for me, then I will still praise Him!  My life is NOT my own, it's His!  Let Him do whatever He pleases,  He will still be good and i will say blessed be the name of the Lord! 

 Psalm 34:5 "They looked to Him and were radient, And thier faces were not ashamed."  

  "If it is good for us, then we shall have it, (God will give it)  if it is not good for us, then the with holding of it,   . . . is good."   ~Thomas Watson 

Psalm 16:11  "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

I was in a courtship relationship about 2 years ago for almost 1 year.  He was Arminian, (enough said, lol)  and never came to believe Reformed theology even though we talked (haha well really argued ) about it a lot.  It was my fault for thinking "oh well, he can change and mabey soon he'll believe the same way i do!"  Well i was dead wrong about a lot of things. He wasn't right for me in other ways too.   He never truly became calvinist but i became too afraid of ending the relationship. i was clinging to the things that were weighing me down in the race!  (Hebrews12:1)  He wasn't really helping me grow closer to Christ and wasn't a spiritual leader.  I'm so thankful God ended it through some unexpected circumstances,  though it was hard at the time.  God is so patient and loving!    It's truly better to be single and alone,  than to be with the wrong man! 

Psalm 73!!!  it's probably my favorite chapter in the Bible!    

   I wish i quote the whole Gospel of John on here right now!  What a wonderful book of the Bible!  I want  to always be reading it!

Galations 2:20, "I have been cruified with Christ, it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me."   

     lol, I love prettymuch all the lines from Princess Bride, Surf Ninjas, and Nacho Lebre!  Favorites from hymns and song lyrics are too many to name!  My favorite hymns are  " I stand Amazed in the Presence of Jesus the Nazarene"  and  "How Sweet and Awesome is the Place"

How sweet and awesome is this place
With Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores!

Here every gesture of our God
With soft compassion rolls;
Here peace and pardon bought with blood
Is food for dying souls.

While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast,
Each of us cry, with thankful tongues,
“Lord, why was I a guest?

“Why was I made to hear Thy voice,
And enter while there’s room,
When thousands make a wretched choice,
And rather starve than come?”

’Twas the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly drew us in;
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.

Pity the nations, O our God!
Constrain the earth to come;
Send Thy victorious Word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.

We long to see Thy churches full,
That all the chosen race
May with one voice, and heart and soul,
Sing Thy redeeming grace.   ~Isaac Watts

There are so many more quotes and Bible verses that i love, but i don't have time to put them up now.

I am a currently a student at Moody Bible Institute. I'm at their Spokane WA campus.  I love the Northwest and just joined a soveriegn grace church in the area.  :)   I'm pursuing a degree in Missions and have roughly around 3 more years to graduate.  I love the institute, the teachers and fellow students, but it is discouraging that most of the student's and staff are strongly against reformed theology.  It is hard to hear teachings that are tainted with if not saturated in arminian, dispensational theology, but it keeps me searching the Bible to find out what things are true, and what things are false.  

I would like to be in full-time ministry, sharing the gospel, Lord willing, on the mission field, or as a pastor's wife.

Become a Proverbs 31 woman.

Support, encourage and help my husband in the ministry.

Raise children (with my husband)  to know, love and serve the Lord. 

Be a humble servant.

Learn how to love like Christ loves.

 I believe God is leading me to homeschool my (future) kids at least for a few years to start,  mabey longer.  I was homeschooled through 8th grade then went to a small Christian school.  I'm so thankful for the Bibical and Christ-centered training/schooling I recieved!   There are too many worldly influences in public schools of America today.  It is hard for a child to grow in knowledge of the Word of God, when most of his/her time is spent away from godly parents.
