I'm Back!

Hi everyone!

Well, I finally got a new computer last week! I now feel at home again on my blogs and email.

It will take me a little while to get back to full speed on my blogs and such, however I am working on it.

I also  wanted to fill you all in as to what has been happening to me since my epic computer crash. ^-^

I began working for Chick-fil-a in November 2010, desperately needing a job. I have been working there ever since. 

However...

God has, for the last year-and-a-half or so, laid on my heart a burden for missions. As I delved into study, research and prayer, I found that my heart was seeking to minister to the people in India. After many months of seeking how and if I was meant to work in ministry. I applied and requested to join certain groups/ministries, and being denied, I began to question my thoughts on mission work. Whether or not I was meant to be a minister of the Gospel to foreign cultures.

However #2...

Recently some friends invited me to join a mission trip to Branson Missouri for the summer with Campus Crusade for Christ. I applied, and after waiting longer than I liked, (God was teaching me patience for the Xth time), I was accepted! I was so elated when the acceptance call got to me. Now I am in the process of gathering support for my trip. The Lord hasn't let me down yet!

My prayer for this trip is this, that God will use this trip to strengthen and equip me for any future missions I will undertake. 

In closing, I have started my third blog that will primarily deal with my mission work. It will be a sort of Journal through my Life as a Missionary so that others may be encouraged from what they read. It will have stories,Pictures Maybe even videoclips that will be for anyone who needs encouragement or who simply is curious to see how my missions are going.

Hi blog friends!

I know that many of you guys that don't see me in every day life have probably thought that I have either died or fallen off the face of the earth. Well, I am not dead and(since I am writing this post) I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  As some of you know, my computer completely crashed about 6 months ago, I am posting this from my parents computer. I am hoping to get a new one after march.  I have greatly missed blogging and I intend to continue posting as soon as I get a device reliable enough to post regularly.

Until then, I wish you all well and pray that God will bless you as you journey down the path of life toward the final destination of the Celestial City, Mount Zion!

Sorry!

Hi everyone!




Sorry that I haven’t posted on either of my blogs latley. My wireless adapter on my computer is damaged and I can rarely get on the internet. When I get it fixed I’ll be back to posting regularly.

May God bless each of you daily!

Analogies of the Gospel?

I think we as humans like to compare The Gospel to our own earthly experiences. In truth we will never really find a good analogy to fit the Creation to Gospel story (His-story, History). all of the great analogies that we know today (i.e.  C.S.Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Chuck Black, and many others) Have real and wonderful applications to the Gospel, however, if you stretch their idea to cover the real thing, you'll find that the real story can't fit into a Box the size we want to make it!

Chew on that a bit and see if you agree with me!

God's soverignty

When we ask “Why God?” are we sinning?

Isaiah 45:9-10
"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker—
An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth!
Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?'
Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands'?
Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?'
Or to a woman, 'To what are you giving birth?' "

I think we should seriously consider what we are asking when we ask God why He did something. God’s will may not be clear to us, but we serve an all-knowing and all-loving Lord that will never let us fall out from His grasp. So why should we question Him? Do we know more about life than the one who created it?
Please consider carefully before you question His soverignty.

My last day of being 18!

Tomorrow I will be turning nineteen! The funny thing is that I'm more excited that I'm only one year away from twenty!

Today we started clearing our land for our new house.
I will post some pictures soon!

Trusting (ie. Faith)

What does it mean to Trust?

Webster's dictionary has it this way:
To trust is to place confidence or to depend, (trust in God) (trust to luck)

Now obviously we don't put our trust in luck but we do put our trust in God. We depend on Him for our every breath. We place confidence in God to keep us alive day to day.

But not only do we Trust or have confidence in our life, we must have a faith for our redemption.

All throughout scripture faith has been part of the human race to believe in the super natural. The word faith appears over 247 times from cover to cover. Faith was not always for salvation only.

It was faith that drove the samaritan mother to beg at Jesus feet for the healing of her possessed daughter. It was Abraham's faith that led him to follow the Lord into unknown territory to claim a land that was'nt his based souly on the promises of God. But it is also faith that that brings us to rest in assurabnce that Christ's blood is sufficient to take away our sin and wrongs.
If your Faith is struggling read the psalms today and I guarantee that you will have a faith boost!

New blog!

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to let you all know that I have started a new blog called Standing on the promises of God. It will be a daily blog that will post a promise from God’s word. I will tell you the promise, the book and chapter it came from, but you will have to find out for yourselves to validate it!

I hope you will be edified by it! (Just copy and paste to web address)

P.S. I will still continue my quest for truth so don’t think I abandoned it!

Take a poll please!

Hey guys,
I'm finding it hard to choose my next topic to post. please poll your decision to help me out! =)

The BIGGEST Biblical controversy solved!

Just kidding!
This is part two of my ”What does it really mean to be a Christian” series. Sorry for the random title. :b

Christ commanded us in Matthew 5:48 “be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Talk about raising the bar!
Now let’s think about this for a moment. Jesus know that we can’t be perfect, He knows that no-one until heaven will be perfect. He also knows that no-one but himself has ever been perfect. So...

... why such a high and unreachable standard?

Scripture implies that we can’t become perfect, but we sure can come close! We are to strive toward the goal of being perfect. Christ became sin for us and we then become His righteousness. Mind you, we don’t become His righteousness by our own works, but by His brutal death on the cross for us.

Now you might ask why is this so important?
Well Christ also said “Go and sin no more.” Does that mean “well God will forgive me.” Or “I can’t be perfect so I guess I’m just human like everyone else” NOOOO! God forbid and far from it!
It means literally “Go and Sin NO MORE!”

Now don’t get me wrong, I am (like everyone else) far from perfect. Are we going to fail? YES! Are we going to sin repeatedly in some areas? YES! So I don’t judge any one who doesn't live up to this standard. We need to set our eyes on the ultimate goal which is to hear Jesus say,”Well done good and faithful servant!” This honor is reserved for those who by grace strive for perfection.

May we all remember this and keep our eyes on the Cross of Grace!
