Hey everyone! I am SwimmerNinja13, but many of you know me as Swimmer Ninja since I was already allowed to leave comments before I got an account.

I have a youtube account. It has playlists for my stories. https://m.youtube.com/?#/channel/UCjM_GDnj_XcbpzduLGGgKHA

I have a deviantart, you can look me up if you want, but I have no art (yet, maybe I'll post some eventually), and I only check it every six months or something. My name's SwimmerNinja13 like everything else I'm on.

My profile picture was drawn by JesusFretakBlue. It was a Christmas gift I didn't discover until mid August because like I said, I don't check my deviantart often enough. Still, thanks to her for drawing it, and go check out her account. She's an amazing author, friend, and artist.

A few things about me:

I am a Christian and I take my faith very seriously. My favorite Bible verse is "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Phil. 4:13 My second favorite verse is "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay one's life down for his friends."

My nickname is Swimmer. Jayde Raven of Rivendale gave it to me, and it just kind of stuck.

My profile name comes from the fact that I'm a swimmer, I like Ninjago, and my water polo number was 13 before I decided to quit polo and swim year round. If you're curious why 13 was my polo number though, it's because Philippians 4:13 is one of my favorite verses.

If you haven't already noticed, I've taken down a lot of my stories and shortened my profile a lot. It's for reasons I'd rather not get in to.

My favorites in life:

Color: blue

Animal: fish

Food: tacos or pasta

Pet: all of mine. I have two dogs: Lloyd and Speedo. A cat named Yoda. Another cat named Rio. A goldfish (sort of, it's complicated) named Oscar. And my youngest brother has a hamster named Chip. My other brother and I want to get a pet snake or blizzard too, but our parents said absolutely not!

Book: The Bible obviously, but second is As You Wish by Robin Jones Gunn

Song: "Control" by Tenth Avenue North

Movie: I'm not Ashamed. I have seen that movie so many times and I always end up sobbing.

Book Series: The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson

Drink: chocolate milk or herbal tea

Memory: getting baptized

Candy: Anything chocolate. I mean it. I don't get to have candy often because of swim, but when I do, I like to go for the good stuff!

Bible Verse: either Phil. 4:13, or John 15:13

I have a one-time gift. A beautiful gift that many people are ridiculed for in this day and age. A precious gift that many people throw away. It's called "virginity", and I plan to not waste it on someone who's just gonna dump me later. I choose to be faithful to my future husband, the man who will love me for the rest of my life, and to wait for the wedding day!!

At age 8, your dad buys you an ice cream. You thanked him by dripping
it all over his lap.

When you were 9 years old, he paid for piano lessons. You thanked him
by never even bothering to practice.

When you were 10 years old he drove you all day, from soccer to
football to one birthday party after another. You thanked him by
jumping out of the car and never looking back.

When you were 11 years old, he took you and your friends to
the movies. You thanked him by asking to sit in a different row.

When you were 12 years old, he warned you not to watch
certain TV shows. You thanked him by waiting until he left the house.

When you were 13, he suggested a haircut that was in fashion.
You thanked him by telling him he had no taste.

When you were 14, he paid for a month away at summer camp.
You thanked him by forgetting to write a single letter.

When you were 15, he came home from work, looking for a hug.
You thanked him by having your bedroom door locked.

When you were 16, he taught you how to drive his car. You
thanked him by taking it every chance you could.

When you were 17, he was expecting an important call. You thanked him
by being on the phone all night.

When you were 18, he cried at your high school graduation. You thanked
him by staying out partying until dawn.

When you were 19, he paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus
carried your bags. You thanked him by saying good-bye outside the dorm
so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends.

When you were 25, he helped to pay for your wedding, and he told you
how deeply he loved you. You thanked him by moving halfway across the
country.

When you were 50, he fell ill and needed you to take care of him. You
thanked him by reading about the burden parents become to their
children.

And then, one day, he quietly died. And everything you never did came
crashing down like thunder on YOUR HEART. If you love your dad, post this on your profile.

The boy you punched in the hall today. Committed suicide a few minutes ago. That girl you called a slut in class today. She's a virgin. The boy you called lame. He has to work every night to support his family. That girl you pushed down the other day. She's already being abused at home. That girl you called fat. She's starving herself. The boy you made fun of for crying. His mother is dying. That girl you called stupid. She has Asperger syndrome. The old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars. He fought for our country.

Even when you can’t see him GOD is there! If you believe in GOD put this in your profile.

If you take comfort in the fact that God gave the world his only son, add this to your profile.

Jesus had no servants, yet they called him Master... He had no degree, yet they called him Teacher... He had no medicine, yet they called him Healer... He had no army, yet kings feared him... He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world... He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him... He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost!"

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

When you carry a Bible, the devil gets a headache.

When you open it, he collapses.

When he sees you reading it, he faints.

When he sees you living it, he flees.

Just when you try to re-post this, he tries stops you.

Can you hear that voice that says this is silly and so are you if you re-post this?

I have defeated him. Copy and paste this on your profile if if you're in God's army and strong enough to pick up the Armor of God and do what's right.
