I'm pretty dedicated to helping heal the hurting world. Starting with the Youth/Teens. Most peole are hurting because of lies they have believed since they were young. It all needs to be rebuked and destroyed. God loves you! He accepts you! He Likes you. Just the way you are. I don't know how many people I talk/type at that feel like everyone hates them because of a few negative people in their lives. You need to RISE above that. Take Gods' hand and let him show you how much you are Loved. Kids I wasn't dealt a great hand either. I was sexually molested for years by my adoptive Father. That's not the real view of what a father should be. Father God is Holy. He loves you, He made you.. He hasn't left your side. All you have to do is turn to meet him and He's right there. I can help you see Gods' love. I know how infinite His love is. God is NOT prejudice. He loves you no matter what color, race, religion, sexual orientation, political views, or any other thing that would make you think God doesn't love you. God doesn't hold the junk of your past against you. He wouldn't know how to, He's that forgiving! We need to learn to be a "City On Our Knees" for each other-praying being there for each other, being the shoulder that ANYONE can lean on(not just your close friends). We need to learn to be there for each other. We have to start showing Jesus, The Real Jesus. Jesus was caring, loving, and non-judgmental. He knew Gods' heart because He studied his Father growing up. We should be doing the same thing. Study Jesus, Would he have told someone who is a different sexual preference that they're going to Hell? NO. he wouldn't Check yourself Christians! Check yourselves before You wreck yourselves. Watch what God your showing people, because if you're doing that, You ARE NOT showing My God to people. So your question is, Does God love me, even though im....?
Yes... He Does.
You can't expect God to help you when you have rejected Him Your whole life. But you do have to ask for His Help, He did after all gave us free will, He's not going to force Himself on you. Bu when you do finally turn and say "God I need you." He will show up, He will be there.
Because one day we will ALL bow before God The Father.

Walking in Love
Lately I've been learning more and more about Gods' love for us and showing others how much God loves them. But the thing is .. as Christians we're supposed to Walk in love..
back in 1992 Dc Talk came out with a song called Luv is a Verb. The dictionary defines love and a Noun. From elementray school we should all remember that a noun means it's a person, place, or thing. right? That's not how God sees the word love. And neither should Chrisitans. (or people in general)
There are so many christians that walk around giving hatred a name. Telling people that they are going to hell for something that they don't feel is right. Or turning their back on a friend for a little stupid reason. So we realize what we're doing to these people? Do we realize that as "ambassadors of Christ" we're showing them that's what Jesus would do?
Jesus would NEVER EVER tell someone who has chosen the life of being gay,, that they're going to Hell.. If you don't believe me.. Read the Bible! IF you come up with a verse that says and Jesus condemned them to hell becuase of their sin... You show me.
Walking in Love means soo much more than saying "I love you." Words are absolutely meaningliess without action. Jesus did the ultimate "action" of love by taking all our sin upon himself and dieing in place of us.. going to hell in place of us and in turn closing the door on death (Hell) itself.
We have a hard time walking in love because of our judgmental spirits. We want to show up others and make our selves feel better when we see someone else doing wrong. We want hurt them before they can hurt us. This is human nature(the flesh). We some times can't help ourselves but look at someone and automatically think they're bad or horrible.
Walking in Love takes, Courage, Courage to see someone the way God created them. Remember that God created everyone so if he Created everyone and He loves them and accepts them just the way they are, shouldn't we?
We want to "fix" everyone that we see. We see something wrong with them and want to change it. That's not the way Jesus taught us to love people. Jesus was never negative and He never nit picked. If he did it's not in the Bible If it's not in the Bible, we shouldn't make it up either.
Showing people Love isn't easy, especially if you don't get that Love is bigger than we are. It existed before any of us did and it will exist long after we're gone.
I have learned that loving others means accepting them just the way they are. Doing any less than that would be holding yourself higher than that person. Think about it you look at someone and say to yourself that person is not christian, or that person is not a good person..
Number one you're judging them before you even get to know them.
Number two you're looking at yourself and saying i would not be like that person..i'm better..
Sounds absolutely ridiculous.. but I do it too. You see someones problem and think.. HA I don't have that problem!
Heres' the deal ... You have other problems! Walking in love is about realizing that. Realizing that we all to through things and can learn from them. Someone may be on the road to "destruction" in your mind when in Gods mind He wants them to learn something to become stronger to see things from a different perspective than we do so they can help others.
Being there for each other= Walking in love. No matter who they are, where they're from, what they do, Be there!
Lifting each other up= Walking in Love. Yes... that person that you do not like who tells you they dream of being a super star...Encourage them... IF they're truly good enough (which brings me to the next point...)
Telling each other the tough truth= Walking in Love. Dreaming of a supersat and not having the talent to do it... You need to tell them that. but tell it to them with love in your voice.
Not being condesending= Walking in love. You tell someone they're not superstar material, in a way they understand why you're saying it. You don't want people to be set up to fail or fall.
Understanding each other= Walking in Love. Realizing that people come from different places then we do. They have different ideas about things because they had a different life and learned different things we did.
Tough love is probably the hardest love to give. We can't exactly give tough love to people we don't know. Tough love should be given to family members (that you know well) and friends. Don't walk up to someone you do not know, call them out on something (that you're not sure about) and call it tough love.
When you grow up in a Christian home, you have everything you could ask for, you have love in your home, you weren't abused, you got great grades and you're at a job that you like. You're not a partier and you pretty much found the right person for yourself. You see someone that is totally opposite where you are and automatically think awful of them.
Maybe they didn't have it as easy as you! You have had positive your whole life! you just bragged to them how well you had it. Walking in love would've been you realizing that they may not have had the life that you had. Maybe you could learn something from them.
We were all made differently, all made to see things in dfferent ways to learn from each other and to grow. We should want each other to be our best. The best we we can be! I'm not perfect I still have issues with walking in love but I want to be able to try and love everyone and see them for the person that God created them as.
Walking in love is about bringing out the best in people, not pushing past mistakes and screw ups into peoples faces. Moving on and letting go. That's what true love is all about..

"Love is patien Love is Kind, no words of envy true love is blind. Love is God that sent His son, Love forgives all we have done. Love knows when to let go. Love knows when to say no. Love goes in the light of the son and love shows the world that the Son of love has come."

I would rather be in God's will with nothing, than out of it with everything.
Hot Jesus loving husband.
2.5 kids ( .5 being a dog)
Cute little starter home
2 cars in the drive way
Great job that I loved
Living in Florida
Out of God’s will.
That is just a little bit of what I thought my life would be like when I was 25. And now here I am 25 turning 26 next month and my life couldn't’t be further away from that list. I always wondered what people meant when they said God will give you the desires of you heart. Seeing as though, I really truly desire those things, but yet I have none of them. It took me a while to realize that God really does give you the desires of your heart, because when you think about it, your one main desire should be to be in HIS will. So if we are living in his will all that comes with it should be our desires (make sense?) I have learned that I need to be content in all situations that God places before me. Even if I’m not in the most comfortable situations. Lately my life has been like a roller coaster, and not the fun kind. The kind that when you buckle the safety belt you really don’t feel safe. The kind when you go upside down you can feel yourself rising out of the seat and it makes you want to throw up. The kind that when your friends say “ hey let’s go on this one, you politely decline and say I’ll meet you at the end.” Is my life perfectly how I planned it out right now. No! BUT. I know that God is preparing greatness for me, and that is really all that matters.
Single
3 amazing nephews
Moving back home with parents while I’m in school
Car that I can barely make the payments for
Job I hate
Living in Georgia
In God’s will.
All in all at the end of the day I’d rather be in God’s will with nothing, then out of God’s will with everything, even a hot husband.
Thank-you for reading.
In Christ,
Jessica.

Fear
I have been learning a lot lately about letting go of your fears. Trusting that God has your back.
I recently went back to school. After eight years of being out of high school. I was really afraid of going back to school. I had a fear that what happened in high school would happen again. When I was in high school I would get up for school and be all set for the day. When I would get to the door I would Freeze up . I would start shaking and crying and didn’t know what was going on with me. This kept happing through out my high school years. In my senior year of high school I went to a physiologist. He diagnosed me with Anxiety/Depression symptoms. I was able to get on medication that would help me handle the Anxiety symptoms. I went on to graduate high school.
Eight years later after deciding to open my heart to Jesus. I decided I would like to get back to school and become a nurse. I been thinking about it for a long time. I would always get this horrible fear that my anxiety would get the best of me. So I never went through with going back. I started praying that God would help me find the strength inside me to over come my fear of anxiety. I would pray about it just about every night.
Couple months ago I decided to go ahead and steep out of my comfortable zone. I decided to fill out a application for college. when I got accepted I started getting nervous about going back.
I have to take a pre Math class that started about three weeks ago. when I went to class the first day I was a lil nervous. I said Lord please help me find the strength to over come my fear. When I got to the class the teacher was so nice and down to earth. All my fears went away. I truly believe that was Gods way of helping me get through the first big steep. I still have a ways to go before i’m all the way over my fear . But i’m defantley on my way.
If anyone has questions about Anxiety or Depression. you can reach us at 7ishprayerforce@gmail.com

Integrating The Vinners and The 7ish Project
Some of you aren't sure what The Vinners means or what it is exactly. I started The Vinners back in 2007 for the band Family Force 5. It was just a fan site back than and only a few people were a part of it. I wanted to support the guys of FF5 because the three brothers in the band are a huge part of the reason I'm alive today. Back in 1994 They were in a little boy group called "The Brothers" and a song that they did back than saved my life in 1995. I was on the verge of committing suicide at 15 and when I played and listened to "Hide Me Away" by them it brought me to tears and I realized that God was there with arms open. It was powerful for me.
I'm a firm believer that Music helps save lives. That music can change a mind and that it can embrace someone in a magical hug and comfort people. This site has grown since than and I'm very appreciative of the support I get from a bunch of you!
I also have a heart to be there for you guys. I don't want "The Vinners" to be just about FF5. I'm here for you guys too. I know some of us go through things that we don't feel we can talk to people about. I went through it growing up. I did not have anyone to talk to when I was growing up about what I was going through. My dad molested me for 8 years and no one that I did tell believed me. Finally in 1997 I got the courage up to tell a teacher (after my mother died) and since than I have been on the road to becoming the woman that God wants me to be. Even if you need to vent about something. I'm here. Please check out my project. www.the7ishproject.blogspot.com
I want to let you guys know that The Vinners is about showing people what FF5 is up to but it's also about showing Gods' love in a way that Jesus taught us to show His love. By being a friend to people and being there for each other. In the Bible it tells us in Romans 8:37 that we are more than Conquerers through Him. We are WINNERS!! And to tie in my project with that.... 7 is said to be the number of Completeness or Wholeness and 8 is said to be the number of New Beginnings. I believe that some of our situations are keeping us back from being complete or whole and therefore keeping us from starting new and fresh. Sometimes we need to Overcome some situations until we can start a new. I pray that with my vision we can help others to see a situation in a "simpler" way and try to solve it. Not all of our problems are as big as we see them in the natural and I hope to help people break down things so we can all be VINNERS and turn that 7 into an 8in our lives! :)
Love you all!Chris
Here is the really real show I got the Vinners from:
