After my friend Chris talked to me more about he
feels like he's "falling out" with God. I realized I am too.
It's difficult to follow God when you're enjoying spring
break doing anything you want. Depsite how tired i was
this morning, the sermon was reaaalllyyy good. it was
about judging people, and even though that's not something
i do.
but our pastor also talked about evaluating our lives.
:] which is something everyone needs to stop and do sometimes/often.
And it's really hard for me to read the bible. so i'm going to find
something i could read today. I like proverbs, so i'll start there. :)
Proverbs 16:1-4
16:1 The intentions of the heart belong to a man, but the answer of the tongue comes from the Lord. 2 All a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion, but the Lord evaluates the motives. 3 Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established. 4 The Lord works everything for its own ends – even the wicked for the day of disaster.
I really like what this is saying.
but this is kindof hard for me to put into my own words. haha.
I think this is good to reflect on, for anyone who reads.
i just kinda come across these passages on bible.org.
i don't really know where to start. comment any good verses/passages/parables(:
PRAYER:
Dear Lord,
Thank You for all the things i have been blessed with.
I'm Glad for the terrific spring break and family i have(:
Amen.

I know exactly what you mean, Elissa, and I can sympathize. I've been feeling like I need a Revival myself, and so I've decided to take a step back and look at what I'm doing and whether or not it's what God says I should be doing.
Today, someone judged me, pretty rudely too, and it was completely wrong, both in a spiritual and a factual sense. I was really tempted to throw that in his face and show him what it felt like, but I realized that if I did that, I'd be stooping down to that level and doing exactly what he had done: judging. But ultimately, judging is a job for the Almighty, the Holy of Holies. Please pray for me in these hard times.
Prayer: Lord, I pray that you would help us, your faithful servants, to live as you would have us to live. Please help us to know when to speak up for your Truth and when to be silent and listen. Please help us to know when to speak out against Falsehoods, and when to be silent and let you judge those who deal in Falsehoods.
Please let us be the Salt and Light of the Earth, that we may spread the love of your Son to all the dark corners of this Earth.
Please let us pray as our Lord Jesus Christ instructed us, and let us glorify Your Word, Your Name, Your Son, and Your Holy Spirit. Father, I thank you for the time you have blessed me with, in which I can be with my sisters I love so much. God, I pray that through everything I do, I might be a never-ceasing witness to the love and mercy that you have shown to me. It is in Your Almighty, Glorious, Merciful, Holy, and Awesome Name that I pray, Amen.
Aw that was such a beautiful
comment austin. :) thanks.
i was writing stuff, cause i have
no life and nothing to do. and
i got here. and remembered you
commented. i'm a lousy person, and
sometimes it's hard to believe
that God would love us unconditionally.
