| Well, I would say Im doing a little better with posting on my xanga, its not 3 months in between posts anymore. Believe it or not I have another poem for you all. In this poem I start out talking about were God has brought from when I wrote the poem back on track to the poem He's all we need. At the time I wrote Back on track, It was just after I felt so far from God, Its probley about the lowest Ive felt. For so long I had been struggling with a certain sin and every once in a while I would come across a verse. Galatians 7:9-Let us not become waery in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. So many times Ive felt like giving up, im sure some of you have had that feeling. Sometimes I would pray God Im not giving up but Im not finding this harvest what else do I have to do. Sometimes I would just feel so frusterated with failing, but now I feel that im reaping that harvest with that sin, God has drawn me so close to him. So for those of you who just feel like you just can't get past a certain sin, don't give up. God promises us that we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. But during this time of being close to God I fear that hard temptations are going to start to come my way. So before I share this poem with you guys, I ask that you would pray that in these hard temptations that I would look to God to be my help. Temptations I feel you pushing me ahead, Seemed like just yesterday that I was almost dead, But now you've brought me in this place, A place where I continually seek your face, But in this time I find myself Afraid, Afraid that this time will slowly fade, I can start to feel the temptations beeting at my heart, Please don't let this sin come in and rip us apart, I can not do this on my own, So I put my trust in you alone, O Lord please help me to fall down and cry, Before I give this sin just one more try, For you are faithful, and will always provide away out. I corinthians 10:13- No temptaion has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptatian he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. | | |
| Snow blast went really well this year. It was a time were I think alot of people were able to learn more about God,and themselfs. Over the last 3 weeks ive felt closer to God then I thought I had in some time, But im learning that not just in some time but This is the Closest ive been to God ever. On snow blast I learned that even though im on a spirtual high right now Im still so far from the finish line, I still need to continue to starve my flesh and seek after God, Thats what I learned the first night. The second night pastor mark gave a challenge, he asked if there was anyone either not sure of their salvation, or if there were some people who were on the fence to were at times they would love God, and do what he wants, but at other times they would do what the flesh wanted and were just in between, and Pastor mark gave those people a chance to either talk about there unsurness of salvation, or talk about things they needed to get right with God. But Pastor Mark wanted it to be a cost to those people who wanted to talk to a leader, he was first just going to have everyone close there eyes and who ever wanted to talk to a leader could get up and do that, But he changed it to were everyone would have there eyes open, so people could see who got up to talk so that it would really cost people to take that step. For me it was a time were I could just see God at work, Before I could take time to think about it 75% of the people in the room had left. Weather all of them were sincere or not I dont know but, I do trust that there were people in that group of people that were sincere, and it was just amesome to see God at work. The last day pastor Mark talked about about being an overcomer, someone who overcomes sin, someone who stands up for God when people are saying stuff that is clearly ungodly.John 16:33- These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Through that message God gave me a greater desire to be an overcomer, I want to be someone who is on fire for God, I want to be someone who doesnt care what man thinks, I want to be able stand up for God no matter what that cost, and I know with God's help I can do these things. So for me it was kind of a 3 part weekend, The first night I learned more about my self, The second night I learned more about God, and the 3rd night God gave me more of a desire to stand up for him. Over all Snow blast was awesome. My hope and prayer is that, people who went on snow blast will take what they learned and apply it to there lifes. Also if you guys could pray for me that would be awesome. Pray that I would continue to seek after God, and spend time with him daily. Also that I would stand up for God in school, and that I would with God's help kill the flesh. Now that you've seen all that I have learned I would love to here what all of you have learned as well. So it would cool if you could either comment on my xanga and share what you learned, or make a post on your xanga about what you learned, and if you have any prayer requests regarding snow blast or anyother prayer requests I would love to pray for you so it would be cool if you shared some prayer requests as well. well thats all for now. I love you all | | |
| Well its time for another post already, I never thought I would post again so soon. But I have another poem for you all. Over the last couple weeks I have felt closer to God then I have in a long time and its just awesome, I hope it never stops. Latly more and more im seeing that God everything and that he is everything we need. Alot has been on my mind latly and PT2 gave me a helpful verse, Matthew 6:33- But seek ye first the kindom of God,and his rightouesness, and all these things shall be added unto you. God is everything we need, and we should all seek after him first, and in doing that other things will be added unto us. This world doesnt even matter compared to God. He's All We Need You give me hope, You give me strength, You give me everything, This world doesnt have to offer, And now I lift my hands, O Lord to you alone, You give me joy, You give me peace, You give me everything, This world doesnt have to offer, And now I bow down to you, Becuase you alone are worthy, You give me grace, You give me mercy, You give me everything, This world doesnt have to offer, And now I sing to you, Because in these temptations, You always provide away out, You are everything to me, You are all that we need. | | |
| Its been some time since ive last posted, so I thought I would tell you all how going to moody was. On wed. me, allen,anna, sarah,leah,abby,the wakefields,and the neils went to moody to check out the collage and Chester had a cool opertunity to talk to moody students about comming to help out with this thing in the summer hes doing with the holland rescue mission. So when we first got there we had some free time so we kinda just walked around moody and beth vandenburge showed us around a little also. After all that we went to Gior Donos not really sure if I spelt that right but its this great pizza place in Chicago its so good. Then we walked back in the freezing cold to moody, but it was cool even though it was cold. After getting back we went to are rooms and talked to the guys we were rooming with for a lil bit, they were some cool guys. But then this other guy came in whos name is brian and allen told him if he warmed up some pizza he could have some so he did that. Then he got back and gave allen some pizza and sauce got all over allens hands so allen took the sauce and wiped it all over brians pants he wasnt to happy so he started punching allen it was great dont wory to much he only broke a couple bones but hes doing alot beter no jk lol. I got to bed around 1:30 and then in the mourning allen woke me up and told me it was time to get up. I asked what time it was and he wouldnt tell me so i tried to grab his phone but I couldnt get to but then I looked out the window and said o its 7 and he said how do you know that and i was like theres a big clock outside the windom it was funnier then it sounds I guess you just had to be there. So then we went to breakfeast and after breakfest we went to this thing were we got some imformation about moody. After that we went to Chaple it was really cool and the speaker was great. He started off talking about a basketball game in how this one team was down by a basket or something like that and this guy from the team Dr. J jumps from the free throw line and 3 guys from the other team were all jumping and it seemed like all hope was gone for Dr. J but some how gets around all of them and puts it in, and some guy rights a song about him becuase he feels that hes worthy becuase of what he just did. He used that to say Jesus was that guy jumping from the free throw line when he died it seemed like all hope was gone but then he raised from the dead and slamed dunked the basketball, and the glass shattered and pretty much owned the devil and that makes Jesus worthy. Then after that we went to a class of our choice and me and allen went with chester to Urban misistries and Chester was actually able to talk to the class a lil bit about what hes going to be doing over the summer. The class was alright there wasnt to many in the class but for alot of the time they basically talked about something they were giving to read so me and allen were a lil lost but it was cool anyways. Then we went to lunch and after lunch we got a breif tuor of moody, and something I thought was interesting was the fact that some NBA basketball teams who come to play the Chicago bulls practice at moody. So after that we went to this store and i cant remember the name but it was an interesting store and ill just leave it at that and all the girls wanted to go so me and allen just chilled. Then after just sitting around for a lil bit allen decided to go to the guys section and take pictures and a guy says you cant do that delete your pics. So that was kinda interesting. After all that we went home. I definitly had a good time checking out the collage and thats really wear I want to go right now. well I guess thats all for now im kinda tired and I probley should get some sleep. mabey ill post again soon. | | |
| Wow it has been a while again sence ive last posted. We'll recently ive felt dry spirtually, mainly because ive been making the things of this world my god more then God my God. But God has shown me again that he is much greater then anything. So ive wrote another poem, this poem was a lil more heart felt. I also want to add that im a little concerned with our School, its just not what it used to be. It seems like most of the guys have all there focus on girls and most of the girls have all there focus on guys. Thats just the way it feels right now. I just dont know right now. Well hears my poem. Back On Track Ive never felt so low before, For good I felt Ive shut the door, But when I least expect it, You've brought me back to you, Now Im back on this lifes long track, Never wanting to go back, To what has kept me from you, I can not wait to see you face, Because of your amazing grace, The worlds loosing its grip on me, Because of what I see in you. | | |
