Fight The Good Fight.There's something going on inside of me
Everlasting Your light will shine when all else fades Neverending Your glory goes beyond all fame And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out

I have been encouraged today. Tonight especially. Had a crappy day. You could have punched me in the face and it wouldn't even equal how crappy today went. Then I got to spend time with Andy, Cory, Mike and Christina: 4 of my favorite people in the world. No matter how emo I wanted to be, I couldn't help but smile and feel better. Though I was extremely exhausted, I managed to actually have a great time.
The irony of it all, though, came a little while ago, on the drive home. I thought about the 2 things that I'm struggling most with: Work and School. And how me, Mike and Cory prayed about that last night. And I just find it ironic that, today, those 2 things totally kicked my butt. Heh. Of course, its no coincidence, though, as Cory pointed out to me earlier. So yeah, that's my story.
And BOY does time fly. Freakin' crazy. I can't wait for this semester of school to be over. I want summer to be here. But at the same time, I don't want Fall to come around again. So much will change. I don't want it to. But I also understand that God is in control. And that everything that happens is in HIS PERFECT TIMING... No matter what I may think of it. God is a LOT of things, but He is CERTAINLY NOT PREDICTABLE! Dang itttttt! Haha. Oh well. I love my family. I love my friends. I love my God.

EVERY ONE OF US WAS ORPHANED Until we heard the Father's call. ____________ When everything inside you Is fed up with being lied to Take my hand and we will fly to the truth And just like all the others You will soon discover That afterall the truth found you Truth found you _______________ Call me anything that I deserve; Cuz I don't deserve my name. _________________ I've tried my best to run away But you say that none of it matters to You You loved me when I lost my way You say that none of it matters to You _________________ Lord, TAKE ME NOW Cuz everything's alright when I'm with You somehow. Father, don't be long tonight I just need You by my side I'm tearing out my insides And I'm needing you alright. Let me look into Your eyes All I need is You tonight Hold me 'til I'm fast asleep and things will be alright ___________________________ I learned something today: I DO NOT NEED PROOF OF JESUS CHRIST. Or anything concerning Christianity. All the proof I need is inside of my heart. His nail-scarred hands and feet, His slashed side, His bloody brow that which upon it once lay the crown of thorns, His bloody, brutal, merciless beating, His gruesome crucifixion, I can visualise it ALL. HOW COULD YOU EVER FORGET HIM?! But the best thing of all is this... ALIVE! ALIVE! GLORY HALLELUJAH, HE IS ALIVE! | |

ThoughtsThe question of 'How can such a loving God send people to Hell?' comes up in conversations of religion. James 2:13 "For judgement is without mercy." What I believe this means is that on Judgement Day, you will have to give an account of every sin you've committed, and God will make His judgement. Now wait a second...there's more...God is ALSO a loving God.....John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." Basically, God loves you SO much, that He let His own son die a brutal, gruesome, bloody death....for you; a peron who doesn't even remotely deserve it. But this is how He shows His love for you. He knew you were gonna cuss and bash His Name. He knew you were gonna beat up that kid last week. He knew that guy or girl was going to break your heart. He knew you would go to the hospital. He knew you were gonna do all the things you've been doing or are presently doing. God knew what He had to do. He loves you SO MUCH. I cannot stress that enough. "...and You NEVER change, God, You remain the Holy one, and my Unfailing Love." I'm SO glad that our God is a God who doesn't change. James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." FINALLY, something/someone constant in my life!! "....still You make time for me...I can't understand!" I still can't put my finger on why God even bothers to mess with me. I'm an insignificant human being who doesn't deserve even a passing glance. This verse isn't exactly related to this, but it's along the same lines....Matthew 19:14 "Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Wow. I'm so thankful for someone like Him. | |
