| I got up late and read my Bible for a long time. (which was awesome!....i feel like i never have time to read my Bible anymore b/c i always have to get up and go somewhere or whatever....yeah i know, it's an excuse...but I really do want to read it. i just always end up oversleeping my alarm or something. you know how it is.....anyways...) I love reading the Bible. it's so astounding to me that God would give us this book that has everything that we need to know about our lives and Him and our relationship w/Him and with others and....just everything. So I was talking to Christina and she was telling me how she was reading Hosea and I was like cool. And we were talkin' about how Hosea's life seemed pretty bad from a human point of view at some points, but how Hosea trusted that what God told him to do was the right thing and he did it. And i started noticing how many times I just choose my own way and decide what is right on my own without even consulting God. I mean, how many times do we get into big messes when we try to do things ourselves and don't let God take control and guide us. I know that He always knows what is best and the right thing for me to do, but still I always fall into thinking that my way is the best........man....how can i think that my way is the best when I am so low and earthly and (pardon my porteugese) stupid.How can i ever think that my way is better than God's? He is always good and right and He always wants what is best for me. While i was im-ing to christina i looked on the desk at a coffe mug that david had left there and i read what it said..."Reputation is made in a moment, but character is built in lifetime." Wow....that's how Hosea's life was....he probably had a pretty bad reputation for a while for marrying a harlot, but God had a plan for that and by following Him, he was blessed later and was changed into the likeness of Christ. God gives us faith tests every day.......sometimes every hour and every time we decide to trust Him it gets that much easier to trust Him the next time and slowly but surely we are being changed through the Holy Spirit into the likeness of Christ!!! how wonderful!!!! (and you know that every time we choose God's way over our own, no matter how tempting and better our own way looks from our point of view, God is pleased with us.) So let the Holy Spirit lead you in the way everlating today......don't let yourself win out......give the victory to the Lord, Who will always lead you in the right path.!!!!!! |
| So, yeah I went online and talked to some people yesterday and added a guestbook to this webpage if anyone is interested (hehe! and i made david sign it! HAHA! and bethany....lol!) but really....if your reading this....sign the guestbook! so i can be like "wOOhOO!!!! someone signed my guestbook!!!" After I made th guestbook....which was fun but totally didn't take that long.....I made myself an aim subprofile thing....which did take a while... anyways....tht was kinda fun. I didn't read any of Foxe's Book of Martyrs but I started it on Friday and it was extremely good! wa da tah!...all those people standing up for Christ no matter what would happen to them. (and alot of them got some pretty terrible torture and stuff for their confession of faith.) ...and then later we were watching the Green Mile and all those guys being put in the electric chair!!! man. And I started thinking, (as i watched the painfulness and the fear in those guys eyes and the mouse! lol! jp) 'would I take the electric chair for my belief in Christ. and after thinkin about it for a couple min....i was like BOOH-YESS!!!!! I would totally do that. Phsyical pain is a bad thing and being put to death is worse.....but for all my sins being wiped away and being given eternal life in Christ!!!!~ How can I deny that He is my Savior and that whatever men may do......they cannot take that back!!! As a Christian, I am bigger than life! I am stronger than anything the world can throw @ me! B/c through Jesus' death for my sin and resurrection I have overcome the world!!!! here's some verses I was reading today. |
