Never thought I would be back on this particular stage to help lead worship again. Guess God had different plans. Thanks Pastor Josh Buchfink of @lifechurchfortworth for the opportunity to help me grow as worship leader. #proverbs16 #verse9 #oneteamonedream #worshippastorchronicles #lcswitch (at Life.Church Fort Worth)

Stand Firm, Be Strong & Alert!

1 Peter 5:8-9 (NIV)

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings."

A lot of us as Christians have our own feelings about this passage from Peter, and many others like it in Scripture that may pertain to not having self-control, or not being sober. I believe God’s Word is pretty clear on how this should be handled. And Peter also reminds us to resist the enemy and stand firm in our faith because all over the world (especially today) Christians are literally being persecuted for what they believe. Let’s look at and address both topics: When we abuse any substance, not just alcohol, we are allowing the enemy to get a hold of our minds. After all, isn’t it difficult enough at times to fight him when we’re sober? When we choose to relinquish self-control we are giving satan the authority to run rampant in our minds, twisting our very thoughts, words, and even our actions. Does this mean Christians should never kick back a few and have a good time? Not at all. And most would pose the argument that Jesus turned water into wine, so therefore drinking is justified in the Bible. Yes, he did and yes it is but, when we take it to another level where we lose control, that is where God rightfully draws the line. I believe what He wants us to understand is that we are all called to be responsible and use sound judgment; only YOU know your limits, purpose, and desire. Getting drunk & acting a fool are obviously the wrong intentions because they are clearly not aligned with God’s will and they put us in a frame of mind that allows the enemy to take advantage & manipulate us. But back to self-control, being sober and/or alert at all times - We know that lions attack sick, young, or straggling animals; they choose victims who are alone or not alert. So Peter warns us to watch out for the enemy when we are suffering or being persecuted as well. If we are feeling alone, weak, helpless, and cut off from other believers, or if we are so focused on our troubles that we forget to watch for danger, those are the times when we are especially vulnerable to satan’s attacks. During times of suffering we should always seek the support of fellow Christians. We need to pray for one another, be there for each other, and keep our eyes fixed on Christ in order to resist the devil’s schemes and temptations. And in doing so he will turn the other direction and run because he has already been defeated by Jesus, at the cross! And His strength is all we need to overcome whatever the enemy may throw our way. I pray there is an understanding that God makes crystal clear for us, in regards to these particular topics. Be strong. After all, His strength lies within you - AMEN! - KTF

Diner AU Verse

It had been hours since she had taken a rest, it felt like she had been driving for ages but Katherine couldn't help but feel better with every mile that was put behind her. It was almost two am and she was currently the only car on the road - In the past hour she had probably passed five cars that were heading closer towards the very place where she had just come from. It wasn't before long when she spotted a diner just down the road, after a second or so of debating whether to stop or keep on going Katherine finally pressed her foot on the brake gradually and turned, pulling into the empty parking lot and found herself and stopped the car. Driving had certainly taken her mind off how hungry and tired she really was and now that the car had come to a halt only then did she start thinking about her needs. Katherine reached up for the overhead mirror and checked that her make up was in order after all of the shouting that she had done, she was tired and what a sight she would have been looking like a panda if her mascara had been streaking down her cheeks. Emotionally and Physically she was exhausted. A break would do her good. After exiting the car she moved towards the trunk where she had two suitcases that she couldn't afford to leave just laying around in the back of the car. One was filled with a few of her clothes and a few of her more personal belongings whilst the other was filled with a few hidden gems that would become her source of income. After all. He deserved it. Katherine threw her handbag over her shoulder and proceeded to lift each one out and sat it down on the gravel before closing the trunk and locking the car with her keys which she then shoved into her jacket pocket - Taking a hold of one bag so that she could drag it behind her, she simply lifted the other and decided to carry it rather than look ridiculous trying to drag both of them behind her whilst in the process of opening a door. She entered the diner and found herself surprised despite the car parking lot being empty that there was not a single living soul in here besides the waitress who was standing behind the counters chewing on gum and reading what looked like a magazine. Katherine closed the door behind her before she moved down the diner towards a booth that was next to a window, the waitress looked up at her. "Would you like a drink darlin'?" She asked in a strong southern accent, her tone high in pitch but as bored as ever. Katherine gazed over at the woman who was now stood at attention, she nodded finding that right now a coffee would be the best thing to begin with. She would get food once she had settled here a bit. "Coffee. Black. Thanks." She rested both cases next to her on the inside before she scooted into the seat with the whole diner facing her, it was pretty chilly in here leaving her sat there only getting colder with each second. A coffee would be great any time now. She thought to herself. Luckily it seemed like her wishes had been answered as the waitress finally moved from her spot behind the counter and fetched her the cup off coffee that she desired and brought it over to her resting down the cup on saucer in front of her - After giving her a nod of acknowledgement the waitress soon waltzed on off most likely to continue reading her magazine and participate in the crossword at the back leaving Katherine to drown over her coffee. The rush of everything she had just been through playing on repeat in her mind over and over again. The conversations, the arguments, her actions and his.

New Bitch in Town || pleasecallmekatherine

It always seemed like there was nothing good to do around here, nobody's blood to drink, no prissy humans to kill. She looked around at her selections and scoffed. She already had a taste of them before, nothing good enough to make her keep them around for longer than a day. The rest she had were already dead, not wanting to waste her time on changing their memories. It wasn't like they had any families to look for them, and if they did, she didn't care. They were just food to her.

This was getting boring.

As she took a bite out of an attractive redhead, finding one useful meal out of the lot of them, a thought came to her mind.  She hadn't gone to see her friend Katherine in a while. She missed that bad ass bitch, the last time she saw her had been when she was still human, the first time she stumbled upon Mystic Falls. Boy did she have some great times with her. And now that she was a vampire, they could have even more fun together, and nobody would be able to stop them.

Perfect. Time to visit Katherine.

She removed her lips from the girl's neck, licking the blood off of them before dropping the girl on the couch. She was still alive for the most part, but would probably have to rest to regain her strength. "Leave." She told the rest of the menu, the others removing themselves from her presence without hesitation or argument. She loved that she was able to control them like that. Better than having to make a scene of those that had the audacity to refuse her.  This way, she always got what she wanted. And that's just the way she liked it.

Now... what to pack...
