“ Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.”
grace, grace, grace
my life has changed so much in the last six months,
and it was all because of this one decision.
the decision that was the point of change.
the decision that brought me closer to my savior.
and closer to the things that really matter in life.
I have been living for my own selfish desires here on earth.
think about it.
my sole purpose on this earth is to bring fame to Jesus.
and that does not mean being an everyday Christian.
I kinda hate the "christian" word. i'm sorry, it's just been too distorted.
I need to share the love of Christ everywhere. and if I don't, whats the purpose of being a Christian anyway.
if I didn't believe that what I have is good enough to share with others than I believe I have just defined a luke warm christian.
you know the kind of Christian that God wants to "spit out"
yea. I don't want to be one of those.
I have so much going through my mind right now.
so many thoughts, so many questions, so many feelings.
I can't sort any of them out, but they are all there just the same.
not good, not bad, just there.
I stepped out and shared my faith tonight.
& after that moment I felt a little closer to God's heart
that's what we are called to do. all of us, Christians.
you can't let fear take over, use it.
I never thought you could ever thank someone to much for something....
well I found out today...
that it is possible.
I have numerous feelings of hatred toward my schoolwork right now.
to add to it I have a professor who beats a dead dog when she grades my assignments. oh but don't worry she lets me continue to do them over and over, oh yea and over. oh joy! i'm on my third attempt of trying to explain color-field painting for her in a clearer way. seriously? i pretty much have already put the in dictionary explanation of the word already.
and to add to it I have ZERO motivation to do school today.
i'm frustrated.
to bad you actually are supposed to FINISH school.
Oh God help my troubled heart!
today.....
i am thankful that God answered a prayer immediately yesterday.
I trusted that he completely could do it. I don't feel like I ever really lack in trust in God. But when my answer came immediately, well, that I couldn't believe.
there are certain people in my life that I am so thankful for.
the ones that play big parts....and especially the ones that play really small parts.
because even if it was a small encouraging comment, it meant something.
and it wasn't about what was said.
it was about the heart that said it.
life is confusing some days...then others it seems perfectly clear.
yesterday it was perfectly clear.
I guess you could say I am in love with a life that is full of God.
1. no amount of excitement will make someone do what they don't want to do
2. guys act like fools around girls they like
3. i am blessed...
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he has told me, "My grace is all you need, because my power is perfected in weakness." Therefore, I will most happily boast about my weaknesses, so that the Messiah's power may rest on me.
And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.
but His reply has been, "My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness." Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them--in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.
