Luke 9

"Take nothing for the journey whatever house you enter stay there until you leave. If they do not welcome you shake off the dust and leave the town as a testimony against them"

"The knowledge of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but others I speak in parables so that through seeing they may not see through hearing they may not understand"

For those who follow Jesus Christ hold in us love and grace in a savior that can change lives generations and the world. For we have nothing to fear so why is it this world sucks our potiential to to do good out of us? It is fear and not fully surrendering to the will of God.

Because of our nervousness and our fear of losing control it makes us weak. I pray that I wold not become weary or spend so much time glorifying myself. I pray that I would be compelled and moved by the struggle depression and brokeness of others. This world is fierce and unmerciful. But those believers in Jessus Christ with a bold iniative hold the weapons of faith hope and love to break every stronghold and conquer any mountain. Let us raise up.

Almost there but yet still a bit far away

It seems like with almost less than 4 days to go till graduation that the smell of victory is near. The finish line to the end of something and the start of something even bigger is within my grasp. All in all with the transition of one life set to another, I just want to quit. I just want to give in and quit my freaken job so that I could have a bit more free time. I am tired of working holidays I am tired of doing dealing with the same ole crap, but what is the point? It seems like no matter how extra far I go that it is not good enough.

There are some amazing opporunities within my grasp. I can smell them I can taste them but I fully can not grasp them. Through the past month or so God has been leading me to the ultimate prize. He has been leading me to a dream of a life time. I grow weary I grow tired and sometimes disappointed for days even weeks, yet I have to continue fighting. I will finish this race with the same effort I started it with. I will pursue God contiously growing day by day hour by hour week by week.

How can I be a fisher, a warrior, a servant for my savior if I continue to serve myself. The more I serve myself the more I rely on myself the more I screw up. The more I curse the more imature I get. There has to be some transparency. There has to be some thankfulness. So stop complaining and use your talents that God has given you to be the light of the world. THERE ARE PEOPLE INCLUDING THOSE CLOSE TO YOU STRUGGLING...THERE ARE PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU LOOKING FOR ANSWERS....THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO NEED FAITH HOPE AND LOVE. So stop worrying about your situation and pray that God will give you the strength to show them how to be the light of the world. Repent before anything. Be thankful and never be complacent in the search for God's knowlege and love.

One year ago I was a baby. I was a new son of Jesus Christ. Exactly one year later i am consumed in his love and plan for my life. He has taken this broken individual in this broken world and given him a plan who which he never was capable of accomplishing without him. There is a strong possibility that I will be teaching Social Studies at a small Christian private school...Really??? 1. this economy for any college grad sucks...I do not have the best GPA or the best credentials. 2. education is not a priority in our current government affairs. I am sorry to say Rick Scott and the Tea Party need to get their priorities straight. Thats another story. 3. A small private Christian school? I ethically and spiritually could be teaching the world of God to 8th grade boys> 4. History teacher....youth pastor.....pastor....councilor.......what am i getting myself into. 5. And a year from now I could be proposing to the one girl who seeks God with all of her heart, and thats all that matters to her....wow I am not in college no more. 6. Who knows these plans could flop tommorow....but God will get me through this time and time again. However it makes me turn my stomach and get aggrevated when I see folks struggle and they need Christ in their life......but to walk with the King of Kings the Lord of Lords...its a big step...he bled for us...he died for us....he rose for us.....so that we could live a peaceful life....glorifying him.....have an audacious faith serving him.....and be filled and made whole walking with him.

EVERY TIME YOU WORRY.....EVERY TIME YOU FEAR THE LITTLEST OF SITUATIONS....EVERYTIME YOU FREAKEN WORRY ABOUT WHETHER SOMETHING WIL WORK OUT ON A DAILY BASIS.....GOD'S WILL AND MERCY SHINES THROUGH....SO STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE LITTLEST OF SITUATIONS....STOP PACING AROUND THE HOUSE....STOP WASTING TIME ON FACEBOOK....STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT TO CALL SOMEONE....JUST LIVE...JUST PRESS ON.....JUST BREATHE IN AND BREATHE OUT.....GOD'S LOVE AND MERCY WILL SHINE THROUGH IF YOU GIVE HIM A FREAKEN CHANCE......WE WALK BY FAITH....YOU REMEMBER THAT....WE DOT NOT WALK BY FEELING EMOTION OR INSTINCT.....WE WALK BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WHO DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ALL OF US....STOP SPENDING SECONDS HOURS AND DAYS WORRYING.....AND JUST LIVE BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE ONE CHANCE....MY FRIEND

Fearless

After he was baptized by John the Baptist, Jesus Christ never turned back...in fact right after that he went and spent 40 days in the dessert. Imagine a man of flesh who had all of the divine powers inside of him goes into a dessert and relies soley on God for guidance food water and comfort. There are so many stories in the bible where Jesus and other prophets warn us about fear. Fear and worry consume the mind. Fear and worry make us go crazy. However I have found that "a chapter a day makes all the crazies goes away." That is in the bible not Dr. Phil or Oprah's new book (if they have one out or something). Then why is it so many men and women worry and have fear. It is all among us. Fear is something that we have created on our own due to past hurt, present probelms, and future worries.
