"9/6/05
So today Nancy had this girl vanessa meet me at my house this morning. It's only the first day of my junior yr. & everyone's already trying to get me to make more friends. wtf. I really don't feel like it. & this Vanessa girl had the balls to come into my yard & start preaching to me about god. wtf. I f****** hate bible thumpers. wtf.
anyways, my mom seems to be in remission but she has a hard time walking. and she's still a b****."
Prior to this day, I had grown up lonely, rejected, depressed, and mostly suicidal. By this point, I had rejected God, took a stab at Wicca and witchcraft, and still ended up nowhere. This school year, 2005-2006, would become one of the worst time periods of my life, as if I hadn't gone through enough before that.

John 3:1-18 "There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, 'Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' Nicodemus said to Him, 'How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?' Jesus answered, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born again." The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.' Nicodemus answered and said to Him, 'How can these things be?' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.'""

This was Ray Hunter's farm in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, near Berwick or Middleton. In 1974 Ray and his wife started the Born Again Barn ministry, which attracted many new converts who were being led out of the traditional denominations. We sat around on hay bales. In the summer of 1974 the Hunter's hosted a music festival which included a chalk artist. I invited my hippie friends from Qua Qua farm (later renamed "The Garden of Jesus") and even though I told them it was Christian rock music, they only heard rock music. As a result, most of them got saved that summer. Perry, his wife (Elizabeth?) and Mark and Beth Crosby are the one's I remember.
I moved away from my grandmother, and I was born again. Truly, truly saved by grace and faith alone.
I made the decision to move sometime in late April 2009. Vanessa and I had lost connection and reconnected on and off since I graduated high school, but I began to spend more time with her since she began taking my grandma to the doctor in March. She had always offered to let me move in with her and her family. I was always scared to... until now. I packed up my belongings in two weeks, the last two weeks of the spring 09 semester, and snuck them out of my house to hers. I wrote my grandma a letter telling her why I was leaving, and I left while she was sleeping.

To Be Seen
If we’re not looking up at God, we’re looking inward at ourselves and outward at each other. The result? Quarreling families. Restless leaders. Fence-building. No trespassing signs.
If we see only ourselves, our tombstones will have the same epitaph Paul used to describe enemies of Christ: “Their god is their own appetite, they glory in their shame, and this world is the limit of their horizon” (Philippians 3:19).
It’s why God came near. To be seen. It’s why those who saw Him were never the same. Christianity, in its purest form, is nothing more than seeing Jesus. And Christian service is nothing more than imitating Him whom we see. The Bible says, “Unless a man is born again, He cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).
God came near. There is no truth more worthy of your time.
From God Came Near- Max Lucado
Today Chaplin Glad spoke on one being "a new guy".
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5: 16-18
إذاً إنْ كانَ أحَدٌ فِي المَسِيحِ، فَهُوَ الآنَ خَلِيقَةٌ جَدِيدَةٌ. النِّظامُ القَدِيمُ قَدِ انتَهَى، وَها كُلُّ شَيءٍ قَدْ صارَ جَدِيداً.
Si quelqu’un est en Christ, il est une nouvelle création. Les choses anciennes sont passées; voici, toutes choses sont devenues nouvelles.
Darum, ist jemand in Christo, so ist er eine neue Kreatur; das Alte ist vergangen, siehe, es ist alles neu geworden!
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalms 51: 10.
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” John 3: 3.
One of my favorite praise songs: "I'm Alive Again", Matt Maher: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6w5szlpedY
You called and you shouted,
Broke through my deafness
Now I'm breathing in, breathing out
I'm alive again.

Growing up, I was forced to eat whatever was put in front of my face, no ifs, ands, or buts. By the time I was five years old I was already fat, to the point where, on the rare occasion my dad would come over, he'd be like, "STOP FEEDING HER!"
I was force fed up until I was 19, when I moved out.
Even if I wasn't hungry, I was threatened to have the food dumped on my head if I didn't finish. I would always feel sick and since I wasn't allowed to go out or do anything, naturally, all I could do was get fat. From the world's standpoint, one couldn't really blame me for hating myself and trying to be "bulimic" and "anorexic" since I could do nothing about my situation.
Was out traipsing in the woods this afternoon, enjoying a beautiful fall day. Came upon some abandoned vehicles and caught this - which I thought was timely.
VB30 - Born Again. We visit Help Island & London City in search of noobs to "baptize" into their new, virtual life.
One of my more popular signs. Sometimes you just gotta let people know the truth!
I can tell they like it because they always show the "your number one" finger.

Lauren began attending the School of Urban Missions and moved into the dorm in January with Olivia. Lauren has an amazing testimony and she is absolutely crazy, in the best way. She teaches Olivia about Jesus, and it reminds me of when I was a "baby" and Vanessa and Griselda taught me.
