Monday

So these are report writing days for me and it doesn't excite me to write more here but here are some resent thoughts.

Check out Bradley Hathaway http://www.myspace.com/bradleyhathaway. He is a little far out there but I think he says some important things. Like in the song "Samuel" he talks about being loved for no other reason than being.

Second thought that came up in a bible study I was a part of. That Jesus believes in us that we can follow him ie. do what he did. But it is crucial that we understand that it is not because of what we are capable of, but because of what he has done for us and what he offers us. (catch that it's not about us)

Anyways maybe I will expand on a later blog, but yah enjoy the picture and hope you have a good Tuesday.

Wild Flowers

I was looking though my posts that I have not published and I wondered why this one was never published. So I publish this one today.

1 Thessalonians 5:15-18
15 See that no one repays another with evil for evil; but always seek that which is good, both for yourselves, and for all men.
16 Rejoice always.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

This past year "Pray without ceasing" has been brought home to me. It seems to be the most important thing to me.

Trust

Mark 6:49+50 NKJV
"And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a gost, and cried out;for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, 'Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.'"

Proverbs 3:5+6 NKJV
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

As Christians we trust neither in our own understanding, or the understanding of the world, but trust the Lord with our whole heart. How often do we trust humans when we should be trusting God? How often do we accept things we hear as true but ignore what God says?

So God I trust you to lead me,
I trust you to take care of me,
So God lets walk on water that'd be cool.

Collaborative effort.

Where do I go from here?

This is one of my favorite things to do in the city, riding my bike with little traffic.
Today something clicked, and so it was a great day.
"It is the Lord Christ you are serving"
Picture like this I wish I had a better camera where I can adjust the shutter speed, but then I wouldn't take this picture because I would be afraid that that I would break it lol.

I got this verse from a friend "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24

So God teach me to serve you.

Transparency 2

To the past(and others involved),
that I really only representations were used to talk.
It was really done for me five months ago, but completely done 2 months ago.
The only reason that I came around again is to see how people are doing, and I will probably come around again and leave my web markings on your statistics. To the person that made a fool of me a couple of times. God is as integral to me as the blood in my veins. I offer you God but we both know that answer. Yes you have to looks but it was never about that for me, and now not knowing what I know I'm glad it never was.

To the very attractive possible future
that I would love to know.
I stumble at my english, I am strange and do stupid things sometimes, I know.
The only consolation I have for myself is
Romans 8:12-14 (The Message) "So don't you see that we don't owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There's nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God's Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go!"
I saw my past straight in the eyes and I am so thankful for God for protecting me all these years and it was really only God even though I had no idea why (At the time I was quite frustrated by it).

To the present (third parties)
It's to bad that this effects life, and this blog but I guess it has to. To finish it up I am thinking about posting transparency 3, it's been in the works for awhile. We'll see.
