What I was taught at https://bcc.us/ brunstad church I went to for a few years might help people out there. They said be in the "middle of the ship where Jesus is" Luke 6:48 "He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock." There''s a bible verse that talks about "drawing back" and some might think drawing back is going to rock concerts, or wearing jewelry --------- but I've over time learned ---------- be in god's word, be in the word, be praying that's what "not drawing back" primarily is stay anchored in the middle of the ship where jesus is!! (or that's the analogy the smith's friends told me and that stuck with me). I NEEDED TO GO TO THAT CHURCH FOR AWHILE THERE WAS A "POINT" IN ME GOING TO THAT CHURCH FOR SOMETIME..............

I think a lot of christians that have quitted going to church 

a lot of them may not of "fallen away" 

the real falling away - would only happen when mammon takes over ENTIRELLY

Luke 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

  doing good deeds could be at times a way to "serve god" 

but so it praying

so is reading the bible or listening to a sermon

I'm CONVINCED

"drawing back" is when you let mammon win!!!!!!!!!!!

Hebrews 10:39

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

  I'm about to go into full "smith's friends mode for a second" ---- IF YOU STAY ANCHORED AT THE CENTER OF THE SHIP WITH JESUS --------- WHEN THE WAVES HIT AND STORMS HAPPEN YOU'LL BE OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THOSE NOT ANCHORED AT THE MIDDLE OF THE SHIP THAT JESUS IS AT THE CENTER OF (THIS IS WHAT I WAS TAUGHT I GOT ZEALOUS ABOUT IT).............

Matthew 7:27 "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."
Even if you merely listen to Joel Osteen - lots of people talk smacks about joel but he speaks about the bible or biblical topics some that I deem valuable........he speaks a lot about living in faith, believing............he's not merely a prosperity pastor (people like to deem him a valueless prosperity preacher, but I think some of his sermons very much have value). Because we aren't supposed to walk by sight but by faith

and believe!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 Corinthians 5:7 "(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)"

everyday that we walk "by faith" and not by sight

that a day we are NOT DRAWING BACK!!!!!!! 

my young adult kids got me liking this song 💓💓💓💓💓💓

Everybody looks a touch like someone out there, happens to be I look like marilyn monroe, is it "emulation" really if I occasionally enjoy impersonating her, I've decided it ain't ----------- she had a great look, I can look like her, why wouldn't I want to look like marilyn monroe???????????????????

6/20/2025 still trying to spread awareness of the horrors going on in gaza though looks to be the people of the world have no power and we are slaves THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME....................now the water system looks to be has collapsed...........................it's bad................

100% BEING MYSELF 6/20/2025 

MY LOOK BIT DIFFERENT ANYWAYS.........my hair is often oranger (I'm a real redhead the orange refuses "to hide") I think my skin is darker then Marilyn Monroe's skin to, her skin was pretty light..............

Everybody looks a touch like someone out there, happens to be I look like marilyn monroe, is it "emulation" really if I occasionally enjoy impersonating her, I've decided it ain't ----------- she had a great look, I can look like her, why wouldn't I want to look like marilyn monroe???????????????????
  At the moment my hair is pastel purple, but look at me...............................
there is in a few churches a "legalistic" you can't do anything in life but have your hair in a bun, mentality that I spent years and years and years around. It's not the truth, that's legalism. You spend as many years around extremely legalistic people, even when your "away" from them.......................it's such a battle to get out of that legalistic mindset.
  And it's in my mind a diminishing mindset..........................cause the bible says...........John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." How abundantly could your life be, if your hair is stuck in a sad bun your whole life??????????????
 ------------ Though at the moment I have a migrain headache and there is 0% way no hair thing is going in my hair right now. naw.

  I'm I guess interesting and a touch different then other marilyn monroe look alikes cause sometimes I like to have my "own look" but somedays, I like that "marilyn monroe look" WHICH I LOOK LIKE THE GIRL EVEN WITHOUT MAKEUP ON............so we in a whole nother realm then "emulation" 

  Besides emulation is acting and looking like someone, I'm talking all the time acting like them and I'VE NEVER DONE THAT NOT ALL THE TIME. I impersonate marilyn on the internet and act like her only ONLY when I'm basically hamming it up.

  I just happen to look like marilyn and I think I'm actually not "emulating" her. For me to equal her............................I'd have to become a actree, and uh ya I'm like not well I wouldn't mind doing a few commercials pretending to be her..............but like a whole entire acting career....................I don't know. That's a lot of work.
   I'm just a fool that likes looking like marilyn and uhhhhhh ya I like look like marilyn uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  And life more "abundantly" I'm 100%
look cute right
have a look you like

like if that's like more goth - do it
if that's like marilyn monroe - do it
if that's like uh hey if a bun "floats your boat" and you honest enjoy wearing a bun everyday of your life (which I think is torture..............................................MIGRAINE HEADACHE'S) well enjoy your migraine headaches then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Why are you blogging this today sheri, cause once at salem fellowship one day a elder brother came up to me, and cracked his bible open and he talked about paul and told me paul always was "with another christian) -------------- my husband is a self professed agnostic who tells me he goes with me to church for "my sake" and then I tell him brian if you really don't want to go to church I can go by myself. Anyways and then this elder RAN FROM ME, well at the time I was demon possessed.............not cause I was uhhhhhhh you know doing any "black arts" Because I was at that time a "spiritual easy target"

this is where most people would blame

I ain't blaming nobody

  I learned the hard way..............................

  Matthew 6:30-33 "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

   This world does push don't be the lone one, the loner, it's pushing that "idea" -------- but sometimes in life you just are the loner, like I didn't choose to only have 197 followers on instagram that just happened to me.............https://www.instagram.com/skinnyketolife/

   And there are people that might tell me that's actually me pretty popular on instagram, or even there might be people that have fewer friends then me in their real lives, or their instagrams...........it's not a competition either way. Ya don't forsake the congregating of one another and friends are great and we should all keep trying to make friends, I ain't gave up..............................I came out as goth. 

via GIPHY

  I listen to this radio station the most these days, fellow goths swear up and down and across the street that you gots to listen to the music to be goth https://www.radio.net/s/tormentedradio

   paying the "goth tole" is nothing for me, since how I likes the tormented radio station 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  # freaking cake and my pleasure

   But anyways, the 4 wise virgins what they do?????????????????????????????? They got oil for their lamps they decided to be in god's word.

   Matthew 25:3-5 "They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept."

  Could some of the wise virgins of been loners - sure nuff. It ain't about in Matthew 25:4 like how many "friends" they had. 

  But anyways, after that day that that brother fled from me I have battled from time to time, thinking "oooooooooooooooooooo snap I'm heading to hell...............................I don't like go to like 2-3 sisters houses every week or vice versa and bake each other meals and talk about the bible together"

  Though I did talk about the bible with my ex-best friend who's name I can't mention cause she told me if I merely said her 1st name she'd sue me. (she dumped me as a friend cause she deemed me demon possessed and thereby damned to hell) She told me me and my families souls are doing super bad. (((((((((horrible to talk such smack about me and my family TO MY FACE)))))))) But she is just another person in my life that fled me like the elder brother fled me of the brunstad christian church that one day. I am used to being fled. 

   I fair better around fellow goth's, I have only been so far to the goth club near me once, but I chat with goth's on the internet. I feel at home around them. I don't have to worry about none of the goth's fleeing me. And their little you must listen to the music rule it's fair. 

   Though I know and we all know, the adams family, the monsters, frankenstein, ok vlad the impaler pry listened to goth music pry had some organ playing playing music for him when he wasn't having people's heads removed and stabbed on stakes etc. But many of the tv goths didn't listen to the goth music their "characters" didn't and yet nobody hardly would argue that they weren't goth, of course they were goth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.........but it is a fair rule listen to the goth music so I abide by it 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽

   And I have been having much ubber success keeping the sabbath, to the point I get excited come friday evening. Cause a good "sabbath" time can make my whole week!!!!!!!!!!

  Isaiah 58:12-14 "And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." - so true

   FACTS: if you are delighting thyself in the lord, you pry ain't no "foolish virgin"

There is not enough "counsel" in my life Proverbs 11:14 "Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."

There is not enough "counsel" in my life  Proverbs 11:14 "Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."
  Recently I deleted a BIG TIME ubber pupular blog post and it might even kill my blog, though it was me talking about true things about https://activechristianity.org/about-us/brunstad-christian-church
  Because the bible says to Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:"
  Someone in my life probably should've told me long ago "pssssssssssssssss sheri, bestest you delete some those bad mouthing the smith's friends blog posts cause that isn't really a great effective way to pursue peace and holiness with a people"

  NOBODY DID!

Psalm 34:13-14 "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.  Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it."

  I find it hard to not talk if something really mega bad has happened to me. But Psalm 34:13-14 is saying hey don't talk the smack talk!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Titus 3:2 "To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people." Now I feel what I've said about the apostolic christian church of america at the moment, everything on my blog that I know of, is "kosher". Cause often I'll mention they are like family to me...................I grew up around many of the apostolic christian church of america on the west coast of the USA. So I'm not "speaking" evil..............so much as saying you have a "commandment of men" left and I'm not comfortable heeding that, and I believe it's bad for that church. I feel that isn't "evil speaking"

   ---------------- when things go into the "evil speaking zone" I believe though I have no counselors on this earth that give me any sort of advice, so I could be wrong. Things I believe enter the "evil speaking zone" when you are saying things THAT MIGHT EVEN BE TRUE, and you full know "oh that's going to ko these people" ---------- when you don't have no "good intent" there......................your just out for the "ko punch" (or that's what I theorize) 

 Do I enjoy "sweeping things under the rug" for the "smiths friends" and the Catholic church and (I deleted some apostolic christian church of america posts to sure have)??????????????

no.......and I've ended up quite the janitor!

via GIPHY

Galatians 6:10 "So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith."

  And the bible says, it says, 

James 3:10-12 "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh."
   It would be odd, right to smack talk, someone or a christian group AND THEN DO GOOD TO THEM. That wouldn't add up. What is going to come out of my mouth, your mouths, blessing or cursing???????? Cause I agree with James 3:10 "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be." 

  Not that I'm going to go do any sort of good to the smith's friends, I'm getting old, my back is sore. But I sure can delete a few blog posts. 

   Start talking better about people. 

---------- the apostolic christian church of america was nice to me last time I went - see some good talk

I insert a song to.................................

Proverbs 17:9 "He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends."

  

   

Going to salem fellowship went well today : ) aka www.brunstad.org "smith's friends"................

Update 4/4/2024 (if people are going to this blog post a ton, on some search to "find proof" that I am a horrible worthless b word like my attackers call me often enough over the years on my blog without saying the b-word but that's basically what they are calling me.................that's sad) I literally donate on my blog near everyday to help fund schools - YOU CAN'T CARE ABOUT THE KIDS AND BE A TOTAL B'WORD YOU CAN'T!

This is the church where I 1st got understanding of the bible and the narrow way. Since then though I've decided the "narrow way" isn't 100% about how you look - aka costume jewelry but how you live. I got proof of some sort....................

Matthew 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

If every chick that weared makeup and jewelry was headed to the pits of hell then MATTHEW 7:20 WOULDN'T NEED TO EXIST.........BUT IT DOES. And I know none of you will believe me that Matthew 7:20 exists becuase you alllllllllllll like to hate on makeup wearing jewelry wearing ladies and label them jezebel trash. 

also

Mark 9:23

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

 When guys go to work do they often wear trashy clothing - no they don't -

well guess what

I work in the realistate industry have for years

the jewelry and the makeup is part of my professional "work look"

Going to salem fellowship went well today : )  aka www.brunstad.org "smith's friends"................pic is of the inside their main meeting hall and their band........my daughter said that she was having a hard time hearing the people sing to know what words they were singing ---------- I noticed that to............they got a lot of people playing music up there and it's kinda overpowering  everyone singing in the church (I think they just need a few sisters or brothers to sing into the microphone for every song ----------- I can sing -------- just sayin!!!!!!!!!!!)
   Definately felt the love today : ) Brian accidentally ordered me a snickers candy bar coffee ---------- it wasn't as good as the milky way candy bar coffees they have!
  Definately a step in the right direction for me going to salem fellowship today and working on loving them.
   Sat and chated with yelena, she remembered that I requested their cement turtle to be left in their playground, it's still there : ) I still like the thing : )
   I feel like I need a bible verse to make this blog post all official --- John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." Love one another that's my exhortation for the entire body of christ.............I have a lot of love for a lot a lot a lot of christians from like many churches out there I'm glad I do.
  1 Thessalonians 3:12 "And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:" That's all I got for today............got a cold it's ruff, sore throat. Have a great day earth!

Update 8/20/2024 pic of bug I took at the zoo.........................

(what I painted today, it's on a giant poster board it's of boating buoys..............jesus is the ultimate buoy in my estimation...........Matthew 7:25 "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.")

edit 2015.....(the original post of this was me going on and on about being locked out of salem fellowships church at macleay christian retreat ----------------- I always could've phoned them the good ol' fashion way................I don't need the passwords to their log in site, is it a hassle for me having to call in - ya, but I didn't need to go on the rant I did about it) I might attend a meeting or two there in the future. Ya they read literature of the brothers in front of the church............but not so much on especially their wednesday night services....................I think I can work a way out to be able to go there sometime and not idolize none the brothers no more. Mark 9:23 "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." I think the skies well the sky ain't even the limit there's no end to what is "possible" for me........

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH!

  I am unable to comply with the apostolic christian church of america's "commandments of men" I do not believe in adding to god's word. The elder of the church when he told me I could not become a member of their church right now cause of my behavior he said.......................he was trying to say it wasn't because of the commandments of men, but when he dragged my husband in the room, hoping my husband would take his side and not mine, and my husband took my side, my husband told him "but it is about the commandments of men" Cause the elder of the church was talking much about the "commandments of men" in their church.........it was a issue greately being brought up in that very moment by him --------- I had a whole nother topic to talk with him about that had nothing to do with that churches "commandments of men". I had a benign topic to talk about and he blew it up into something else.
  (((((((I'm supposed to Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:" I was kicked out of their yahoo group, I was kicked out of their facebook group..............attacked so much I am in gripping terror of them.......only way I'm going to be able to pursue peace and holiness with the apostolic christian church of america is pray for them))))))))))
A. people done know they need to show mercy out there
B. I am a person that deserves mercy like full out I believe
 ...............and moreso I believe showing mercy I will receive mercy it is about to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank god! 

Matthew 5 

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

I painted a good painting today pursued some peace, some holiness today............counting today a success for myself. Life it's like a painting, you make bad brush strokes on accident sometimes, but as long as your still alive you have a chance to make the right brush strokes.................and you make enough right brush strokes you pry end up with a masterpiece of some sort by the time you are dead..............that's how I hope my life will end up like. That the "bad circumstances" of life, that they won't destroy me..........2 Corinthians 4:8-10 "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body." ---------- I'm perplexed by the apostolic christian church of america right now, they have at least one person this month claiming 'peace with god and man" ----------- how you have peace with god and man if I am currently terrified of your church???????????????????? But supposedly at least 1 of them does???????????? Perplexing to me how that could be the case. I don't feel like they are at peace with me...........I ain't sure how any of them can claim "peace with god and men" but they are.

Have a great week earth!

That my outward man perish daily!!!!!...............

   I am gripped to not be anything but a pilgrim on this earth not be friends w/the world!!!!!!!!! James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." That my outward man perish daily!!!!!!!!!!! That I don't be walking after the flesh no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But keep on having my inward man "renewed day by day"............2 Corinthians 4:16-17 "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;"

   I'm working super hard lately to die daily, have that outward man perishing, listening to brunstad mp3's every day now -------- that my inward man be renewed day by day (I get tired of reading the bible everyday sometime's) We should all ask ourselves ------- are you alive are you thriving in this earth is your flesh very thriving????????? Or is some real crucifying of your flesh to it's lusts and desires going on?????????? I want my outward man to perish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To die daily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Corinthians 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. I am super gripped to die daily ------ it's a fab thing.........that I could draw nearer to jesus!!!!!!! That I could be his bride someday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luke 6:27 "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,"............................

Revelation 3:2 "........strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die......".................

Update 10/15/2024 yes sheri hasn't been to church for 3-4 weeks stuff keeps coming up on the weekends. What can I do????????????? I think one weekend my youngest was in town for orthdonist appt. and one weekend there was a birthday party...............it's out of my hands...........if I can't make it to church I can't make it...........

 I'm listening to the June 2008 sister's meeting at brunstad mp3 this the bible verse that spoke to me much tonight........Revelation 3:2 "Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God." To strengthen the things which remain THAT ARE READY TO DIE! Man that speaks to me, strengthen those brother's and sister which remain -------- that are ready to die!!!!!!!!!! All the people not scared off in your church after hearing that those who are christ's have crucified their fleshes to it's lusts and desires Galatians 5:24 "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." THAT REMAIN RIGHT.......and are READY TO DIE!!!!!!!! Man that speaks to me part were it says the people "that are ready to die" like a fire of zeal shoots through me over that! What a fabulous thing that there would be left, there would be some remaining people ............"that are ready to die" Ya strengthen us! I'm ready to die!!!!!! Man I'm ready! They were talking much about love, how important it is to love, that god is love, to love nomadder what, to be fervent in love, unmoveable from love. Matthew 24:12 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." My take on this verse : ) to not let my love for the church (where iniquity will be abounding) grow cold.........they said those that "endure unto the end" aka remain in love........the same shall be saved, to remain, to remain in the church even when iniquity is abounding.......to remain in love w/love for the church. They are right to the smith's friends, it's the very next verse that says......13 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Since that is the very next verse in Mathew 24, that speaks to me much, that enduring in love is extremely important! 2 Corinthians 12:15 "And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved." They brought up this verse to, speaks to me the same sort of gist least today, even if my ministry causes people to love me less, to remain in love, keep love for the church! By some miracle, I still have love for the church : ) ------- it's pry some honking miracle!!!!!!!!!!!! Much love for christians in general, I have remained in love, though iniquity surely has abounded!!!!!!!!

Luke 6:27 "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,"............................

If people are right and "actions speak louder then words" put on your ear buds for protection then 😂....................................................hahahahahahah
