| Hello, I was the one that suggested Jeremey talk about complacency tonight. Cause God really put it on my heart this week. I needed my fire lit. Well my fire was lit at one time but i stopped putting wood on the fire and it went out. then i started putting more wood on where the fire used to be. i just kept looking around finding little sticks here and there to put on it but really didnt care too much cause there wasnt a fire. Once i found out what i was doing i asked God to relight my fire, and He did in a huge way. now my fire is burning but i have to keep working and putting more wood on it so it doesn't go out. I can't get lazy. As i search more and more God shows me bigger pieces of wood. its amazing. incase you havent figured it out wood is The Word. once i focused less on the word my fire started to die. the more i am in The Word the longer and the more intense my fire can burn. I'm so pumped right now. it's like im goin through a personal revival. Hopefully as my fire burns i keep it up and if anyone else needs some fire I can help light their fire. well that's about, its late and i have so reading to do. | | |
| WOW, I just got home from going to the summit KCBT. They had some pretty sweet Passionish worship which totallly got me goin and pumped up, it was amazing. I also met a bunch College students really on fire for God. and they had Steve Saint come and speak. He is the guy that wrote The End of the Spear. His dad was the one that flew the plane and was killed. He shared an amazing story. First he talked about how we want God to be the editor of our story instead of the author. This is so true, we want to live our life how we want and do things we want then just have God delete the bad stuff at the end and help us when we are in trouble. Anyway.... this is the story he shared (in a nutshell). as you all know his dad was killed and later His family became friends with the man who killed him. Now they are all back in the states and his only daughter just got back from being away for a year and he was so excited to have her back since she had never been away for a long period of time.His daughter got a headache so he gave her some ibprofen but she just wanted him to pray with her that it would go away and it did. She died right there in her grand mothers arms. As the paramedics took her away his natie-friend didn't understand, since he was from an indian tribe. when they were in the hospital his Native-friend had this look of anger on his face and kept asking who was doing this. Once Steve explained it to him, his Native-friend started to jump up and down saying that God was doing this. Cause He loved her so much and wanted her to be with Him. Then he started telling all the doctors, cant you see, if you follow you path it ends in nothing but if you follow God's path you life ends with more life. Steve said it was so amazing to see how God worked though his life chapter by chapter.The man who ruined the first chapter of his life was helping him find joy in his daughters death in this chapter. This story really hit me hard. God is showing me so much this week. I don't have to write it down but ill let you guys know if i see you later and you wanna know. | | |
| I talked a little bit about this Friday but it something God really layed on my heart. I was striving to be a man after God's own heart but He just showed me i was completely wrong. I tried to want what He wants and Hate what He Hates. I wanted to get as close to Him as i could. Jesus didn't come to die on a cross or to teach us. He came to take our sins and save our souls.In order to have a heart like His i must desire to see souls saved. God wanted to save our souls so much He died for it. I was so focused on who Jesus is instead of His purpose and why He did everything He did.What if Jesus acted like me? What if Jesus just came to teach and have fellowship? What if Jesus would rather strenghten His relationship with the Father instead of saving us? So many times I'm more focused on my walk than others. Just like pauls testimony. If Jesus didn't reach out he probably would have persecuted Christians til he died. but now he is Paul, the Paul. if i saw him i would have just passed him and not even bothered with talkin to him. it just makes me wonder how many Pauls i have passed up.But if focus on help strengthening others walks and starting others on their walk then I will be walking with God more than ever. Another thing we have been talking about was surronding yourself with people on the walk. which is smart. I love when i come along people walkin the same walk and we keep pushing eachother forward. It is as though I grow more and faster when i surround myself with people who all push eachother. Right now it is hard to have fellowship with people on different walks.its cool talking to them but if people aren't growing i just feel out of place with them. It's like i just wanna get out and run and they just wanna stand around. another thing is that it feels truely great to be able to worship. I used to get tired of singin but now it is so much more than singing. if just feels so good i cant get enough of it. | | |
| So I'm repelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realize couldn't some of this maybe be in my head. And it was. I was totally fine. I've never even been to Mount Vesuvius. | | |
| So, i was driving through my neighborhood today and and saw something pretty weird. My neighbors cut down one of their trees and left the stump. so they have this 3 foot tall stump in their yard. then there was this little girl outside, she was watering it with the hose. i thought that was pretty funny, but then i thought about how many times i do that. how many times is there something dead in our lives, something that isn't growing. we might cut it down but we should just remove it, that is what God wants. it would make our lives/yard better. but instead we just keep watering it. I just wanna dig up all my old stumps and give them to God. So, after i removed a stump God planted a new tre in my life. this tree will actualy grow if i water and take care of it. If we water a yard full of stumps then nothing will grow and God can't plant anything else. we also need to be sure we don't plant stuff God doesnt | | |
