Acts 3
Leave a Comment
Key verse(s): 13
“For it is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob- the God of all our ancestors — who has brought glory to his servant Jesus by doing this. This is the same Jesus whom you handed over and rejected before Pilate. despite Pilate’s decision to release him.”
Response: So before I picked a key verse all i could say is WOW! These chapters just keep getting better and better. First, when Peter and John in verse 4 say, “LOOK AT US!” I was thinking, oh shoot.. what is Peter going to do?? Throw money at the poor man?? Tell him that only God could help him?? NO!! He blesses the man and grabs him up and makes him walk!! Anyways, to my key verse.. 13. This verse really blatently puts it out there that the God we see in our lives today is the God that Isaac, Peter, Moses, Abraham, Habakkuk, Esther.. EVERYONE saw back in their time. Our God is never changing and always there. He has been there since the beginning of time.. whenever that was, and will ALWAYS be there for whatever is to come. If God’s blessing can make a man walk who hadn’t walked from birth, then He could do it again today.
Prayer: God, I pray that you do something incredible in my life Lord, I pray for talents like Peter had to change people’s lives and let them accept Jesus Christ and God. I pray for the courage to be able to speak to strangers about my faith and I pray that you guide me with what you want me to do Lord.
Acts 2

Key verse(s):43-44
“A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the aposltes performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had.”
Response: This is right after all 3,000 men and women and children were baptized after hearing what Peter had to day. They all came together as a whole uniformed body of one, WITH God. They shared everything that they had with each other. These two verses reminds me that if someone asks for something, give it to them.. no matter how much I need it, its of no importance to me if someone else needs it. These verses also remind me that to change any view of churches in Connecticut, we need to be a whole, uniformed body that has 1 goal (changing the views of people in Connecticut and saving the lost)
Prayer: God help me to be more understanding of people’s needs and to take advantage of the fact they need something, Lord help me to realize that if someone needs something of mine I should just give it to them without questioning their motives. Lord, help me be in awe of all the work you do. Keep me strong in my walk with you Lord. Amen

So, the power cord to my laptop just broke.. And Dennis has my power cord to my desktop, so im stuck using the extra computer in the house (which, technically i’m not “supposed” to use because its broken or something.. but it still works..) So, im not sure if Im going to be able to post things on time, but of course ill read them on time and comment on them later.. So, I read Acts 1 last night and here is what I had going on in my brain..
Acts 1
Key verse(s): 14
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Response: This verse really reminded me of how imparative it is to pray. To constantly be in prayer over the little things AND big things. Prayer is an important part of ANY relationship with God and it needs to be done throughout the day.. not just once a day at night before I go to sleep.
Prayer: I pray for me to always be praying daily, over the little, the big, the anything. I pray that I am constantly reminded that I should be in prayer constantly and always talking to God

So, I should have blogged about this awhile ago.. But about 4 days ago I was brutally attacked by a 2 and a half year old. He savagly threw a 2×2″ block at my forehead probably at about 90 mph fastballblock. It bled down my forehead and is STILL not healed.
Mike, I’m coming after you and your son… I’m gonna sue you!
Living like a Christian
3 Comments
I’m sitting here listening to a Flyleaf song about God and Him always being present and It leads me to think of all the times in the past I’ve said I was Christian but did not act like it. How many people a day do that? They go through the day and if they are asked if they are Christian say, “Yes” but you don’t live it.
What’s ever scary is that what would I do if my life was threatened and the person asked me, “are you a Christian”, and a “Yes” would get me killed? It may seem like an easy question for yourself, “Oh, of course I’d say Yes.”… But would you really? It brings on so many emotions to know that I may not say that 3 letter word. I hope all of you reading this would say Yes, no matter what time in your life it was. What is time anyways? How was time created and under what circumstance was it made for? Why must we plan out every single moment of a day to accomplish ones goals instead of putting things into God’s hands and submitting to him perfectly to lead you in the right direction. So many questions and so little… time.
We all are going to eventually die, and when I hear someone say, “Why do you believe in God, we are all going to die someday..” It brings on such feelings like why shouldn’t I? I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and that has allowed me to know God so amazingly.. Why NOT lead a life of purity and faith-base by treating everyone like Jesus would and.. have something to LOOK forward to when you die.
Another thing filling my mind is what is the plan for my life. With college coming up I’m am in a struggle to figure out where God wants me. I know He wants me at Cinema Church. I know He wants me to help out in SOME way with my talents (which I have no clue what they are yet). However, I don’t know what college I’m gonna apply to.. The plan to my life was written a long time ago and just now am i reading the pages of that book.
When I die, I want to have a crazy funeral.. I want everyone to wear whatever they want.. but the rule is they have to have bright vibrant colors. I want crazy balloons all over the place and a moonbounce. I want people to write all over my coffin and I want to have crazy music that I love to be playing at my remembrance ceremony.
^ thats if I die soon.. I hope not!

I got lazy yesterday and didn’t post Esther 5, so here it is..
Esther 5
Key verse(s): 9
“Haman was a happy man as he left the banquet! but when he saw Mordecai sitting at the palace gate, not standing up or trembling nervously before him, haman became furious.”
Response: This reminds me of how Hebrews 12:15 talks about roots growing bitterly in you corrupting you. Haman was so full of poison and bitterness that he couldn’t even enjoy the banquet Esther had given him and her King because of how Mordecai acted.

Esther 4
Key verse(s): 16
“Go and gather together all the Jews of Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will do the same. And then, though it is against the law, I will go in to see the king. If i must die, I must die.”
Response: This verse shows how important it is to fast. To Queen Esther, her life depended on fasting and it revolved around it and prayer. Fasting is a way to focus your mind on God himself and only God to allow you to show how serious you are.
I pray that something comes along in my future where I can honestly and sincerely fast for a week or more for a good cause.
I also pray for God to LEAD me to my accountability partner and show me who it may be so I can ask them for help along my path and their path with God.
Esther and Accountability Partners

Okay God, I need an accountability partner!! I’ve been searching for a week and a half and still no one has come up to me asking if I could be their accountability partner! I want someone who checks up on me daily, someone who views me as an equal and trusts me with THEIR problems or concerns, a 2 way street you could say. If you feel like God is calling you then be my guest and ask already!! HAHAHA, I can’t wait any longer, I need an accountability partner!!
On to Esther
Esther 3
Key verse(s): 2
“All the king’s officials would bow down before Haman to show him respect whenever he passed by, for so the king had commanded.But Mordecai refused to bow down or show him respect.”
Response: I think it very brave of Mordecai to not bow down and give into the Earthly law of a oppresive government. This reminds me of how in the bible it says that Christians will be persecuted for their religion. I hope we all act like Mordecai and refuse to bow down to an oppresive government when the time comes.

Esther 2
Key verse(s): 4
“After that, the young woman who most pleases the king will be made queen instead of Vashti. This advice was very appealing to the king, so he put the plan into effect”
Response: I really feel like King Xerxes is a dumby, He falls right into Satan’s traps by him getting drunk, ordering Vashti to leave and then falling into a ploy to get another Queen and simultaneously “enjoying” himself with many many pretty ladies. He falls so easily into things because the flesh side of it is appealing to him, This verse reminds me to always be strong in spirit for it lasts forever.. Flesh? not so much
