Welcome

A peek inside the REAL me, who I once was and who I am NOW!! My life uncensored , my truth, my faith, my goals, my strengths, my weakness, my imperfections, my growth, my likes and dislikes. WHOA! LOL Hopefully together we will find a sense of comfort, encouragement and laughter.... This is also an outlet for me to be a light for HIM and honor HIM with my words of praise, worship ,prayer and HIS WORD through scripture. My purpose in this so called blog is to simply “journal” for me personally and for others to be moved, and blessed by HIM!! So let’s get this thing started, been a long time coming!!!! AMEN! So.....

Lets start off with a little about me and what I'm into as of now: I am a child of God (saved by his grace and mercy) I love the Lord with all my heart and I'm desperately seeking Him daily. I’m a work in progress wife (8yrs in November to my main squeeze, Matt.) & mommy (to my Nikki Lynn 7 and Dylan Kaide 2)- (all being my biggest and greatest accomplishments), I love my friends like family ...well because they are pretty much family. A special shout out: thanks for the love, encouragement and your excitement for me to start this blog journey..You know who you are! LOVE U BIG!!!

What I'm really not into a the moment: The oh so fun morning wake up school routine at 6:45am...blah!! After a super fun summer with my family, and lots of relaxation or should I say laziness...HA!! I dread the early mornings for school. But.." it is what it is" ( that's one of my favorite sayings, btw. LOL) I am very blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom.....by any means I am not complaining. It will become easier once this rockstar mom gets in school mode!! yeah I said it..I called myself a rockstar mom.WHAT!! lol...and Props to all those hard working moms that get up even earlier for work plus the school routine. YALL ARE  ALL ROCKSTARS IN MY BOOK AS WELL:) WORD!! ..uh-o my personality is already unleashing... LOVE it!

Important note- this blog will have my flaws, etc ...so beware, as it is understood..my blog name at top:

Perfectly Imperfect....

Till next time I wanna leave you with one of my favorite scriptures... the first one I ever memorized many years ago.

2 Corinthians 5:17- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

What does this verse mean for us as believers? I talked about it in the beginning of this post. Whom I once was and who I am now..In Christ that is:) and as I would agree with my pastor, Robin Butler " I'm a satisfied customer!!! 

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior? Do you have a personal relationship with HIM. The creator,(John 1:3-God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.) The ONE who loves you, and gave his son for you(John 3:16- For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.) The ONE who never changes ( Hebrews 13:8 -Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.) 

 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
We are ALL in need of forgiveness and his grace.  Which is available through Christ Jesus!! Now that's exciting..right!!!

How do you receive this gift?

	1.	Admit your spiritual need, "I am a sinner."
	2.	Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross to take away your sins.
	3.	Repent. In other words, be willing to turn from your sin.
	4.	Receive, through prayer, Jesus Christ into your heart and life. Pray:

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my personal Lord and Savior.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

(so....with this you can also make...  1 Corninthians 5:17 a truth in YOUR life as it is mine and many other believers today. All glory to Jesus Christ!! AMEN!!!)

I want feedback blogger peeps!! Does 1 Corninthians 5:17  ring a bell in your life..what does it mean to you??

With love,
Cristina
