Hmph... short and sweet?

Well.. it's been ages since I've posted anything. I need to start this back up. I really do love blogging. I'm always shifting through ideas too. But never actually sit down and post something. I've lost touch with so much lately. My poor blog just so happened to be a part of that.. :(

Just posting this to let it be known that I have not forgotten about my blog.
I will begin posting again.
I don't have internet at my house so when I want to blog I have to go somewhere else. So from now on I'm going to type my blogs up on my computer and put them on a flash drive and post them when I'm at school :D
Woo!

That is all.

Here goes nothin'!

So that is me, Kenzie Talley. And my BFFIC(Best friend forever in Christ) is fanning herself off as we speak. Welcome to my blog! (:


Well, I've always thought blogging would be cool. I like to talk, and blogging is like talking to the world... uh sort of. I'm a very opinionated person and I think this blog could be a perfect way for me to vent about all my pointless and goofy opinions about the silly stuff, and even the important stuff in life.

According to Bethany(BFFIC), there is a psychotic fly in her house. Good times.

Hmmm... what to say what to say. Funny, Bethany just now asked me "So, what's your first blog gunna be about?" That is a good question.

I suppose I could make this about my recent change?

I, Kenzie Linn Talley, am a NEW CREATION.
I have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. I was "saved" and "baptized" before, but it was never real. I never truly let God into my life. Which is the reason for the quotations! But June 22nd, 2011... I let the Trinity into my heart. I was consumed by Christ. My oh my. It feels glorious. My life is completely different, the old me is completely gone. I'm removing the negative, welcoming the positive. I'm enjoying life, truly enjoying it, for the first time. All the other times I was "saved", it was more of a caught up in the moment thing. It was never real. I never felt a change. I always went right back into my old ways of life. No prayer, no worship, nothing. I was the same old Kenzie.

"If conversion to Christianity makes no improvement in a man's outward actions- if he continues to be just as snobbish or envious or ambitious as he was before- then I think we must suspect that his 'conversion' was largely imaginary... Fine feelings, new insights, greater interest in 'religion' mean nothing unless they make our actual behavior better; just as in an illness 'feeling better' is not much good if the thermometer shows that your temperature is still going up" - C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity.

Couldn't say it better myself.
Basically, after you're saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, your old life is destroyed, and replaced with a completely new life. This new life is absolutely different. It's amazing. It brings you true joy. It also brings Jesus joy. True happiness can only be obtained by accepting Christ into your heart. As a former atheist, I can tell you exactly how an atheist will react to what I have just said; "That is untrue. Ridiculous. I'm happy. And I don't even believe in "God" or "Jesus"."  Well, I'm sorry but you are wrong. Jesus is what brings you joy. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. (Cool song!!) You may feel happy, but you are not truly happy until Jesus has entered your heart.... Just sayin.

One of my dreams is to be a missionary in East Asia. And hopefully God has that in his plans for my life.
If not, I'll live. My ultimate goal in life is to glorify God, in every way possible.

Well.. I think I've said enough. We'll pick back up on a lot of this stuff in another post.. on a later day. (:

I'll end this little post with a quote..

"Praise the Lord, when He died on the Cross I died with Him. He not only died in my stead, but He bore me with Him to the Cross, so that when He died I also died. And if I believe in the death of the Lord Jesus, then I can believe in my own death just as surely as I believe in His." -Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Life.
