Sickness

So i have been sick for 8 days now with no relief in site it seems. And although some of you are thinking being sick is great you get to relax, have someone take care of you, and just watch tv....yes i think i had a total of one day like that the rest involved...


coughing so much i thought my lung would come out
having a fever
feeling nassau on the weekend
having to sniff vicks every night (ewww)
having to take a million pills thanks to my mom visiting the health food store and buying some Chinese remedy pills there (that taste horrible)
going to class and being embrassed by my loud coughing
a runny nose
waking up every morning at 7am thanks to my coughing and not relaxation in site



So needless to say at this point of being sick i am getting a little
grumpy frustrated sore bitter because I WANT MY COLD TO GO AWAY! I know i know i need to be a little less whiney! And its true sometimes in our sickness we learn to be still and quiet for awhile something we can't do when we have all the energy in the world!!! but Its not fun and whoever gave it to me will pay lol...Shot out to my mom for buying me the chinese pills she wanted me to blog about it...so there it is mom! Thanks for reminding me to take my medicine! lol


So please pray that i get better!!!!

Greys is Back!!!!!

Okay for those of you that are as obsessed with Thursday nights as i am on ABC will be happy today because GREYS ANATOMY WILL BE STARTING!!!! Ah! i'm so excited i have spent the greater part of the morning refreshing my mind of what happened almost like 3 months ago! For those of you losers that don't watch this amazing show....should totally drop in tonight at 9pm! I promise you will get hooked (and than will be asking me for previous seasons episodes which i have!)

Words

So i was going to post about my scary experience at the scary house but since everyone now seems to know the story i will post about something God laid on my heart this weekend.

Remeber that saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" ?

Throughout my lifetime i find more and more for that quote to be misleading.....

Words can be great sometimes because it can be something that gives you encouragement, They can be comforting in times of need, they push you to suceed, helps to achieve something you want, and aids us when we need help BUT i have learned that words can be hurtful sometimes, mean, rude,and crude without even knowing. This weekend when Troy was speaking of conflict even though he was speaking about it in a marriage conflict i began to think of myself and how i agrue with people...my friends, family, and previous roommates....and realized a few things. Words are powerful! I think more than ever i have realized this being in school and studying marriage and family therapy! One word can break up a whole marriage, one word can cause a family to be divided, one word can cause a marriage to reunite and it goes on and on our words have a powerful impact on others! When Troy was reading out of Colossians he read all the things you should put on when argueing all of them were wonderful and i hope to practice them in my next arguement but one really stuck out to me that i can use always and thats gentleness.

I love trying to be funny! i love making jokes but sometimes i do it at the expanse of others. At first i thought it was funny not even thinking of how my words may be affecting the person but than i started thinking that even in jest and fun our words hurt people and can come off not very gentle and you never know how they will affect others even in a joke, or when speaking to someone in "love" or when they aren't around (rumors and gossip) they can make or break a person. After hearing Troys message i realized that the answer is gentleness! I would want someone to use gentle words on me or when talking about me so i should remeber to practice gentleness with my words! Think before i speak rather than speak get a fun laugh and have a aftershocks. I feel to many times we forget how strong our tongue is, we forget how our tongue is a double edge sword i mean it talks about it in the bible, we forget with our tongue we can tell someone we love them but in our next sentence tear them down and why why would we do such a thing!?! is it that were malicious and evil? Or that we want to break the person down we love? No i think its that sometimes we forget that our words our powerful. We speak rather than think of how this may affect someone. We forget that gentleness should be a big part of words. There is a time to be bold and use our tongue for correction but even that should be done with the most sensitivity and gentleness. People are watching and listening and our words can affect how they view the kingdom. We should be building one another up not breaking them down. We should be using our words to encourage and love.

It can be struggle sometimes because it actually means thinking of others before ourselves! I want to be a women known as with gentle words and ones that build up and comfort. I want to be person that realizes my words are powerful!

Atlanta- Passion

If you think this yelling was intense you should of heard us singing!

Charlie Hall Duet

Okay so i was on francis blog and i saw this video its suuuper funny! and my favorite part is that Charlie hall refers to him as like a million different nationalities! lol (passion joke sorry) Hope you enjoy!

Dreaming Big

okay so my dad totally sent me these verses on saturday while we were at passion and so i just5 want to share them with you because while he sent me these verses my mind was totally on impacting college students in miami as well as other nations too! and i thought it totally fit into this weekend.

The verses are Ps. 2:8

" Only ask, and i will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possesion."

And Ps. 96:3

"Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does."

How perfect are these verses?!?!

this weekend was an incredible experience but what use is it if we keep what God did at that conference to ourselves?! What good is it if we just focus on what God did in us and not us that to impact our generation?!?! As i have come home and everything is starting to sink in my mind a little more i have shifted my thinking to What God did in me and What God wants to do through me to affect others! He has done amazing things and will continue to do amazing things SO SPREAD THE WORD! I told the girls in small group last night i have things running through my mind like crazy...ideas...dreams...and big things...and for awhile i just gave up on those things because i felt it was useless God couldn't use me or the things i had to offfer BUT THATS A LIE! he can and he wants to we have ASK AND PRAY AND TRUST GOD! Rem. his holy spirit is in us! Its crazy because i thought about this concept and i decided that my dreams were going to go somewhere this year i want to impact our generation for christ i want them to be in love with jesus i want them to feel loved, and wanted and precious in his site! And i decided that i would write all my dreams in a notebook called my dream book...and that each day i would pray for thesedreams and God not if its his will but that HE WOULD OPEN THE DOORS! Praying in faith that hes going to do it...so i know what your thinking but kristy dont get discouraged when it doesn't happen but u know what i have gotten to this point that i believe it will happen God has been putting this dream in my heart for awhile and i try and ignore it or say it can be done but its time to change God wants to do something great! and i believe hes going to do it! i am committed myself to doing this everyday! i want to not just take what happened at passion and keep to myself i want God to use me and the things i learned and share it with everyone!

I mean read those verse what a beautiful promise! "Only ask and i will give you the nations!" I'm so ready to ask and i putting up to the challenge Lord GIVE ME THE NATIONS! isn't are God so amazing! And read the next verse Tell everyone about the amazing things he does! Obviously this is just not for people of others nations (which you know i love) but its so for our nation the united states! These verses only confirm more my heart for Christ and the plans he has for me! i love him and i'm so glad he used these two verses to speak to me...i hope you find it as encouraging as i do...DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR GOD DREAMS. keep praying in faith and he will open the door...he wants us to share the things hes doing in our lives with others...its all about bringing fame to His name.

correction

Just to clarify...it was brought to my attention that i used some wrong terms when speaking of the holy spirit i i was endwelled when i was saved at the age of 6 but what i meant to say was i have been filled with that holy spirit this weekend...lol sorry guys you can tell i didn't go to seminary...and i must of been napping in my classes at Liberty haha

Passion 2008

okay so i'm finally home from my passion 08 experience and i must say that i wish i was still there now! like stacie mentioned in her blog i am completely speechless i'm not sure what to say or tell people when they ask me how it was except for "wow it was just incredible no but wow like i can't even explain" and literally thats how i still feel now i'm just blown away by this experience i have been swept up in Gods grace and i'm just smiling and i can't help it. So its been rather hard for me to put all my thoughts down about my experience but this is it.... i am going to start with a lyrics to a song we sang at passion that i feel in my experience there describes what this weekend meant to me!

(okay so i had a really hard time finding the lyrics of the song but i will put down the lyrics i can rem.)

"Chainbreaker, Heart saver Jesus your the great redeemer...Liborator Jesus my great redeemer" I'm sure i messed up somewhere but it goes on to say..."Sons and Daughters you chains have been broken now run in liberty."

Either way this song signifies exactly how i felt at the passion this weekend. I felt that my chains have been broken and for the first time in my walk with Christ i feel this freedom to run in his grace that covers me and this makes me smile all over. I think more importantly before i start tazlking about something else was that this weekend my chains were broken! Those things that were holding my down from really enjoying my jesus and my savior had been broken this weekend and it had been shedded off my back and it felt and feels so good to be free from those doubts, fears, shame , guilt and insecurties! It allowed me to just worship God in the a new way dancing and smiling with my hands lifted high yelling at the top of my lungs (hence my hoarse voice that sounds scary) and that to me was running in my new found freedom!

I must say that i was challenged significantly by several things Louie and Francis said about God encounters and getting out of the darkness and inviting the holy spirit to come in and guide you step by step (something i really never ever consider doing) why? i will tell you why because i was scared why because the holy spirit convicts like there is no tommorrow and invites you to do things you never imagined you could do and as exciting as it sounds its also very scary because you don't know what might happen. But Francis (who is amazing!) made an amazing point in his sermon on saturday afternoon that we need to live life like a caterpillar! He said a caterpillar life is so boring the slug around climb a new tree and than they take a long nap they get up and boom they have these new wings...and instead of staying a caterpillar they look around and flap there wings and is like "shut up!" and i think that i have to rem. i am a new creation in christ when i turned my life over to jesus christ when i was 6 i became a NEW CREATURE one who has the freedom to fly and i think for to long i have forgotten how to use my wings...The holy spirit in us is a incredible thing why? well that same holy spirit that dwells in kristy selecky...was what dwelled in Jesus tomb when he breathe life int him again...it's what caused people to speak a million languages...its what came down in a flame to guide moses...and that very SAME holy spirit is what endwells our hearts! how powerful man! i was just so taken back by those things! i for so long would doubt God no God i can't go on missions or no God i can't build a gaint therapy center in africa...but what i have the holy spirit in my heart dwelling guding me how can i not make these decsions to DO IT!?! finally realizing this i totally had a heart to heart with God asking him to send Holy spirt and have it endwell me and give me life again and give me guidance and shed those stupid insecurties i have because i am free! Doing this meant yes Lord take me where you want me even though i don't know where it may be! Which means i surrendered to my calling my heart for missions and ministry something i have been struggling...a fear that rose high because who wants to commit if God wants to send me far i mean i don't even have a husband yet?!?! but its my heart and i no longer fear because God is painting a beautiful picture and i can't wait to see what it looks like in the end!

Louie also shared an amazing story of a girl named ashely and the impact of her life...i challenge you to go read his blog for the story because its long the whole point was that ashely before she died used her flame to reach people and not give her fame but give it to God! I loved it! Its so not about us its not about others its about giving fame to my jesus! Louie gave this wonderful example...Imagine our lives as a match...if we light it by ourselves its small and last about a total of 20 seconds BUT God is an eternal flame that burns forever and so if we can somehow get our little match to light into God's eternal flame that 1. it brings fame to God and 2. We last an eternity! So impacting because i want Gods flame to shine through me in miami lakes, at nova university, and FRC! i want it to be soooo bright that people can't help but look at it! Ashley never lived to see what God did as a result of herfew months as a christian but over 20,000 college students at passion have seen it....and her unsaved dad has seen the flame but can't quite understand...her X boyfriend has seen it! And all My savior can do is smile because his plan worked! My prayer is that i encounter God that way that it will be in my face and i did! i so did! i encountered my savior at passion and i want my light to burn bright!

I think the most powerful part was sitting the last night in the back of the stadium...and just seeing all of us worshipping and prasing God (man i still get chills thinking about it!) It was a site i think i will never forget...our voices together singing...."I see a generation Rising up to take the placeWith selfless faith, with selfless faith I see a new revival Staring as we pray and seek We're on our knees, we're on our knees" Hearing the voices together singing to our Hosanna...the one has broken are chains...it was simply INCREDIBLE! To think that as a generation of young people we want to change our cities our colleges our lives to bring fame to Jesus! I can't say more because i mean it was the mos amazing site i have ever witnessed!

We prayed for each of those things i prayed for nova like there was no tommorrow! and than we had to call out byname the people we wanted to see touched by theholy spirit...i named my family memebers by name and my friends from nova...and as the song we sang that i will share in a minute played these people ran through my mind face by face one by one!

The song goes like this..."Greater things have yet to come Great things are still to be done In this city Greater things are still to come And greater things are still to be done here" i can still hear in my head us singing it together as one voice! It moved me so much that it encouraged me that there are people like me that want our cities to change and i want miami, florida to be swept away by Jesus and his unending grace! i want them to fall in love with him just like i did! The song has an amazing story behind it see apparently in Malaysia in a city known for sex and more sex...a group of missionaries from not this country went there to just pray over the city when they arrived the band was asked to play at the "climax" bar...and so in there in english they played that song in the bar! while people walked in and out...what powerful words! Great things have happened at FRC but God is going to do even GREATER things then things that are happening now! wow i can't even imagine but i can't wait to witness it!

My experience at passion was a life changing thing in my life it has radically changed me! My thoughts, My hopes, My passion, My visions! It has made me realize that i am free so act like it! Its not all about me! Its about Jesus who poured out a river of grace and broke my bondages and had that river run over me and washe me clean (i see the picture in my head lol) and so i need to love like it! I want my flame to bring light to God and so i have changed! and i can't be any happier about it! Thank You Jesus you are amazing! without him none of this is possible! i'm so happy God opened the doors for me to go!

I also want to say that as incredilbe the experience was the people were too! i enjoyed the relationships i built on this weekend i feel blessed to have people like this to call friends that i am doing life with! i love them all! and they are such passionate, incredible, people and i am so glad has placed us together!

In Awe!!!!

i couldn't wait any longer i had to share about my first night at Passion...and thank to my roomie Estacie who let me burrow her computer and internet. First of all i want to say how blessed i have been b the people on this trip...THEY ARE AMAZING! and i'm so glad that i can spend a whole weekend with them :) now about my night!

WOW! i have never ever been to a passion before and i hear such amazing things about it so i was like i mean i've been to a million conferences before how great can it be but let me tell you IT IS! Gods presence totally shined in that arena last it was a beautiful site 20,000 christian college students all praise God with hands lifted just shouting to him wow its a wonderful site believe me i got chills it was so wonerful ah! Just thinking about it makes me so just in awe of God and how wonderful he is!

The intensity and emotion that was involved in worship was amazing and i loved like i told my mom last night i have no words to describe it but i know that i was filled with so much joy and happiness and just felt like God was looking down on me smiling :) i can't help but think about it this morning i woke up and all i could think was last night was amazing and incredible! and i want everyday of my life to be like that i want everyday to be an encounter with My Lord, My Savior and My Jesus because its to him that deserves all the fame not me but him! B/c Suprise it isn't about Kristy Selecky but its about Jesus Christ!

So a personal thing i want to share i'm about to get "naked" I'm convienced that God places people at the right places at the right time and he uses to be like oh this was a God thing! So its no suprise that my aquitance of many years broe up with a boyfriend she has had for 5 yrs. natrually when girls break up with boyfrieds they tend to now confide in girlfriends which was the case in this story...and so for the last 4 months all i've heard about its the boyfriend and all i've talked about with her is the boyfriend...and to tell u the truth in my heart i felt some anger because that's what happens when someone kinda hurts someone close to you....and i'm not gonna lie i didn't think very highly of this guy! and so when i found out he was going to passion it was only normal to not be totally excited and make things more than akward! But God broke me last night see at Passion we had to pray in circles of three but God that it would be wonderful if i got in a circle with this guy and pray with him next to me....so i was ok God thats cool but when Louie told us to pray for the person to our left ha! I just broke down! God totally just broke down and God was like its not worth it kristy! and all those thoughts and things i held inside vanished and i prayed for that man like there was no tommorrow! God is Great and i love him he does things in his perfect timing when we need it the most!!! 

You don't understand how in awe i am God is doing great things! but i have to get ready so Matt doesn't get mad at me!!!!

Goals...

Okay so i have decided to set a new found goal for myself by June 27th. So i'm going to be completely honest so you guys can keep me acountable! I decided that i needed to rejoin weight watchers today! See it wasn't to long ago that i stepped foot into a weight watchers and lost my "Freshman 30" and became a lifetime member a wonderful accomplishment i must say it felt so good! and i felt good about myself and that i actually completed the goal. no one ever does that! But what can i say i moved back home...which meant lots and lots of unhealthy food and going out to eat! I always would tell myself oh i will go back this week blah blah blah because don't we love to procrastinate our goals?!?! and now 20 pounds later i almost back to what i weighed when i first joined weight watchers 2 yrs ago. My problem is i need someone to keep me accountable and just do it with me and remind me i'm trying to be healthy...well wouldn't you know God was like what the heck kristy i'll give you a support so me and my friend are going to do it together again! and so i set a goal for myself by June 27th (nanas wedding) i would like to be 20 pounds lighter! I'm thankful for this support because i know i can do it...i mean i've done it once before but more importantly i can be a support to this person...i want them to feel as good as i did when i reached my goal ;) It's going to not be easy we as a nation eat HORRIBLY AND WAY TO MUCH but i know we can do it! Although this weekend will be tough since i will be on a roadtrip hopefully i will behave! So if you guys see me eating anything unhealthy remind me of my goal! i promise i won't get mad haha.

So go and listen They got two songs up now and more to come! there music is catchy...so i hope you enjoy visit them at myspace.com/sirensandsealions

Mistaken identity!

So today i was in a desperation to get to the mall to get shoes for a wedding i was attending tonight...i didn't feel like driving all the way to pines mall so i decided to suck it up and drive 10 minutes away to Hialeah. So i begin walking to what i thought was westland mall and had been westland mall since i was in my moms womb i noticed that instead of the sign saying westland in now says westfield! What the heck?!?! i was totally confused everywhere i looked it said westfield! than i say a sign that had westfield and westland!?!?! Only in Hialeah...well at least something good has come out of the name change a better mall! When westland was around you could find nothing but today when i stepped foot in Westfield i found lots of things cheaper than yo que bato! lol And and they have the coolest store there called Baya....haha i know its got cuban written all over it! with the flashing lights and loud salsa music playing you can't even miss it! So the next time your driving in hialeah or need something to buy visit westfield mall!

Don't you love Jesus!

So i was reading the bible and i came across this chapter and it was like a treasure i have never found! I'm isn't our God amazing?!?! especially when he promises things like this verse!

"Those who live in the shelter of the most high will find rest in the shadow of the almighty. This i declare about the Lord. He alone is my refuge. my place of safety; he is my God and i trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrows of the arrows that fly in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in the darkness nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though 10 thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the most high your shelter, no evil will conquer you. No plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample on lions and cobras you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! The Lord says. i will rescue those who love me, i will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me i will answer, i will be with them in trouble, i will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. "

Wow how amazing is our God!?!?! So whom shall you fear or what shall you fear with a promise like this???God is with us and his angels are holding us up protecting us...because God is our refuge and we are his children! =)

Its a Octopus Romance <3

okay so today i was reading aol news and this headline caught my eye "Who Knew? Octopus Flirt!" i thought it was quite hilarious... and since i have no love life whatsoever i thought i would just be swept away by the fact that these animals have a love life haha. So i thought you might find it interesting too! lol According to the AOL article: "The love lives of octopuses are far more complex than anyone thought, a team at the University of California, Berkeley, reported on Monday. They flirt with each other and hold hands and guard their lovers jealously ." they also witnessed octopus drama! They witnessed picky, macho males carefully select a mate, then guard their newly domesticated digs so jealously that they would occasionally use their 8- to 10-inch tentacles to strangle a romantic rival to death. If your bored and are dying to know of the love lives of octopus just go to aol. I'm such a nerd!

Attitudes are dumb!

okay so here's the deal for the last week or so i have been just totally busy with school that it has caused me to become stressed, cranky, irrated to the ones i love, a homebody who never sees anyone, and quite bitter at the things that have been going on. Don't ask me why but thats what stress seems to do...so much so that i have been missing all the wonderful things God has been doing in my life this last 2 weeks it tends to happen alot. So i sat today and i finally got to think about my attitude and how i've been handling things this week and i started seeing these blessings that i hadn't seen because of my attitude...For example, So i hit a car about two weeks back...so mad because it was my first accident i guess you could call it but even madder because i had to miss class and it was just such an inconvience in my great little life that now that i think about it i totally missed the hidden blessing...see our nieghbor who has been asking about FRC happened to get home the exact time i hit the lady's car and so we got to use that time to talk to her and invite her to church. Another example, I have been highly bitter about my groups class that i so love...i complain about it every second of the day and wasn't looking forward to the meeting i had on sunday since my group can never agree on anything! i happen to be early (which is a first people!) and the one group memeber that i highly dislike is indian and very into her beliefs...got there early too! i didn't know i was looking at bibles b.c i wanted a new one (to add to the million i already have lol) and she called so i got the chance to show her the bible and talk about passion to her and share my Jesus to her another blessing. So many times i do this i get wrapped up in myself and in my issues that i forget that God is using those things in our lives...to bless other people or to bless us. I have just started reading the book of Ruth...and last night i was reading and realized Naomi's reaction to her husband and sons death...that God had his hand against her and whoa is her....at first i got angry and i was like what a complainer! God doesn't do things on purpose to hurt us...he puts things in place for a reason and most of time that reason is to fulfill some kind of plan and usually its the plan he had all along for us! But as i thought that i was like DUH KRISTY! you act like this all the time you complain ah i hate this why does this have to happen God whats your problem but all along i'm missing out on the blessing you have for me! So next time you have a bad attitude rem. that God isn't trying to inconvience our lives but fulfill the plan he has for you so be thankful! =)
