When I am weak, God will make me STRONG.

•October 2, 2009 • 1 Comment

Alright, I know I have already written about my leg, but in a way I want to mention it in this one again. This past week we had the lectureships at Harding. I only was able to attend a few of them, but one of them blew me away! The lesson that Jonathan Colvin gave on when we are weak was so inspiring. I went home that day in search of more in my life with Christ, I love giving praise to God, but after this lesson I was just so floored by all that he said. He gave verse after verse on the people of the bible who were weakened by temptation, but he also talked on how God used them in His Good Works. Jonathan also talked on how important it is to do things in your spiritual life in private, for you will be rewarded for it. This was something I knew would be great for anyone, but I just couldn’t believe it was written in God’s Word. I found this to be AWESOME!!!

Matthew 6:6…

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Through Christ, One Love.

Kryptonite

•September 20, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Well this week I have discovered the endless amounts of times where satan interferes with our lives. I have let him in so much throughout the week because of my pride, and selfishness. I hate the fact that I am so weak! Especially right now as it seems everything that was so good and great is hitting the point now where it is being tested and I feel like I’m buckling into myself and letting my own thoughts of negativity, worry, and doubt come into my mind and heart. You few people that read this, please check yourself out examine your lives and ask how much do I actually do for God throughout my day, because with every breath I take, He is actually doing something for me!!! Just like superman, he has kryptonite, and we have the devil. He is there always even when you know he is not that’s a lie because he is! He’s always there and ready to catch you in a trap!!!

Everyday Life… With a Broken Leg.

•September 15, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Wow, never have I really realized what kinds of people you have, anywhere. Having this broken leg I have kind of slowed down reality… I can’t do what I usually do. So therefore I am noticing more and more about the people around me and their behaviors. I wanted to talk about this since yesterday, so here I go… While in a waiting room at a doctor’s office that I had never been to I sat down not really noticing anything except that there were a lot of people in the waiting room. I sat down with my B.E.A.Utiful girlfriend and my dad. We sat down and it wasn’t too long before I was ready to pass out it was so annoying knowing that I had a messed up foot and I didn’t know what I was gonna have to do about it just yet. We sat there, and I get an elbow in my side from Sarah. I was like what?! haha jk… but she pointed out to me that across from us sat a father and a son. What was so crazy was that the son looked a bit rebellious compared to his father, but they were both falling asleep in the almost exact manner. She said to me, it’s funny  to me how they are so different, yet they are alike at the same time. I told her… That’s why I Love You, not because i thought we fit in that scenario, but because she pointed that out. I know Sarah and I are different but it is through Christ we have found F.H.L.(Faith.Hope.Love.). But I was amazed at her comment because I got to thinking about everyone that I pass at school, or even you reading this… You pass by people everyday, different, alike, what’s to say that they haven’t been graced by the presence by our King. It’s your duty… Your DUTY, to share with them. I go to a private Christian University, and I STILL see people walking around everyday with looks of discomfort, or knowing that they are living in sin. Some say that this school isn’t reality, and I myself have said this before, but their are people that are Christians. Disciples. Brothers and Sisters, and I’m sorry but that is the reality that I STRIVE FOR!!!  To be united with my brothers, and my sisters knowing that every single last one of them surrounding me… will be in Heaven with me. I know people may read what I’m writing and have doubts, but you can doubt me all you want to, but until you strive for this type of “reality”… Don’t say one word. Start the outreach in places you don’t even think of. Start showing Love. Start showing Faith and Start showing Hope. Have hope in knowing that our Father is going to bless you in ways that you cannot comprehend. You may not know why you lost a scholarship, or why you lost a job, but He knows… and He has your back. Have a God Loving Blessed Day and I pray you come to know our Father…

Through Christ, One Love.

Crazy Love…

•September 2, 2009 • 2 Comments

Crazy Love written by Francis Chan. This book is AmaZaZing!!! I sat down to read the first couple of pages and the foreward written by Chris Tomlin, and I ended up around page 30… I was blown away by how honest and right to the point this book is. A number of Christians shy away from telling the flat out blunt truth in their lives and that is not what we are called, by Jesus Christ, to do in our lives. The reason I am choosing to write on this book is because we are working our way through it right now in a Wednesday night bible study. I am honestly very excited to get to talk about this book with people and what their take on the writing is. I hope honestly that if I have not caught your attention yet by what I’ve said about Crazy Love you will come ask me about it and you will honestly try to find a copy and read it.
Through Christ, One Love.

Whatup World…

•August 31, 2009 • 1 Comment

This is my blog… So therefore I will be writing my expressions and feelings on the many aspects of life. Through the aspects that I go through everyday I will be focused on the view of… “How is this effecting my walk with Christ?”. I have been through struggles, and I have been through highlights, and as I walk with Christ my journey is truly just being started and I will be writing on this blog as events in my life happen. I will be expressing my opinion on situations with my Walk, and if I step on peoples toes I’m sorry but I will be searching and searching throughout my Word of God and telling you of my search. Please no matter what have an open mind and an open heart about what I say tear your pride down and let the words hit hard without thought…
Through Christ, One Love
