Story of my life

“So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them” – “Perks of being a Wallflower”

Sometime’s I wonder where I came from and where I’m going. This fall I’m going to college and it really hurts that I’ll be leaving people. I can’t believe it’s almost there.

I’m growing in God and it makes me excited, this past week I have been doing good for the most part and feel myself growing. I’m beginning to be happy all the time, be confident with myself, be confident with who I am. I look up to a few guys and I see myself start to act like them, a man. I’m taking responsibility for myself and I hope to keep strong. The one thing I need help with however is bringing people to Christ. I don’t think I have ever directly brought someone to Christ before.. I don’t think my invitations to LP or Catalyst (was Cinema) Church were ever answered. I want to be like Meredith in the fact that I want to be open with God to everyone around me and I want to show them how amazing it is. Being a guy and trying this is more difficult I think than a girl, because we’re meant to be manly and it’s hard to be manly and show love at the same time… It’s like a big swinging scale on where to balance things.

I’m doing great with reading the bible, I wish I could remember things a lot easier though, I try reading every day and I usually do, however the things I read yesterday aren’t always on the top of my mind.. Bogged down by the day to day life.

Donny and I have been working out together for the past few weeks and I’m getting stronger, We went running yesterday and then the gym and I was exhausted by the end of the night. While running I get to think a lot about God and how he formed everything, It’s a nice time to just soak in your surroundings and the people you pass.

I wonder if people read this blog anymore, I’m not sure because I just haven’t written anything in awhile. Maybe it’s because I jump around a lot.

Anyways, I’m sitting here in school. About to do some Chemistry homework, Have a great day. Keep me in your prayers with my growth of God.

Say a comment or two, let me know you’re alive.

Trying to stay consistant

Genesis 25:

Key Verse(s): 23

“And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two people will be seperated from within you.”

I can relate to this because there is two different people living inside of me… The soul that yearns for attention, for acceptance, for worldy things.. and then the other part of me that years for praising God, for living FOR Him, for making Him happy… It’s like a constant battle to always having the spirit one on top — With the way we live today, It is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a relationship with God without seeing all the “ohhhs and ahhhs” of this world. I pray that I can always conquer those and know that as I get closer to God these “ohhhs and ahhhs” of this world will become less sparkly and attractive.

Psalm 28:

Key Verse(s): 2

“Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I life my hands toward your holy temple!”

I thought it was interesting that He raises his hands to God’s “holy temple” kinda like we do if we are really into worship. Not everyone does it and that’s okay, when I do worship I just feel compelled to do so — not because others are doing it, but because it just feels.. natural

Matthew 18:

Key Verse(s): 9

“And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away.”

In today’s time, we see the commercials, the ads… It’s SO incredibly easy to melt your brain and melt your faith with the garbage that fills our lives. And it’s becoming ever increasingly more important to maintain your relationship with God to help deter and throw away all the things you see. God’s serious about this stuff and this week I’m going to be praying I become serious about the little qwarks in my life that hold me back from helping God FULLY.

Genesis 22

Key Verse(s): 11

“At that moment the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”

This is such a powerful chapter, Where God asks Abraham to sacrifice his long awaited promised son. Giving up something (or someone) you love is no easy thing, and God wanted to test Abraham to know that he would give up anything for his Lord, his God. What do you need to give up in life to show your allegiance to God?

Psalm 25: 3

Key Verse(s):

“Certainly none who rely on you will be humiliated. Those who deal in treachery will be thwarted and humiliated.”

Most of the time when I go to share God with someone, something clicks in my mind of, “I hope I don’t make a fool out of myself.” or “I hope they don’t think I’m a freak”. This verse really helps me to think and remember that I won’t be humiliated, or look like a freak. I’m sharing God’s word and trying to expand His kingdom.

Matthew 15: 8

Key Verse(s):

“These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”

Lord, help me never be far from you in my heart. Let me always speak a truth about you and never act as a hypocrit. Let me honor you with my lips and with my heart.

Genesis 21

Key Verse(s): 16

“Then she went and sat down by herself about a hundred yards away. “I don’t want to watch the boy die.” she said, as she burst into tears”

I don’t know what’s with this verse… I kept going back to it and I feel like I should learn something. This is frustrating that I know i should take something away from this but don’t know what yet…

Psalm 24:

Key Verse(s):7-10

“Open up, ancient gates!

open up, ancient doors.

and let the King of glory enter.

Who is the King of glory?

The Lord, strong and mighty;

the Lord, invincible in battle.

Open up, ancient gates!

Open up, ancient doors.

and let the King of glory enter.

Who is the King of glory?

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies–

he is the King of glory.

What an incredible poem!! Who is the King of glory? The Lord, invincible in battle…. INVINCIBLE in battle. Holy crap!!

Matthew 14:

Key Verse(s): 17, 31

“But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!” they answered”

“Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith.” Jesus said . “Why did you doubt me?”

Verse 17 talks about the day that Jesus blessed the five loaves of bread and two fish and fed 5,000 men alone.. Not including the children — this reminded me of “Abreadcrumb & Fish” ?? yeah, my cheezy sweatshirt

The second verse is the powerful one. The disciples didn’t trust Jesus and doubted him. It’s hard to see Jesus’ response.. “Why did you doubt me?” .. That statement seems like Jesus is dissapointed… It makes me really sad to know that I have doubted Jesus before and I’m sure he had that same heartsinking feeling.

Reading daily.

Trying to get back into the habit of reading daily. On sunday I realized I was too comfortable with my relationship with God and need to move forward..

Genesis 13

Key Verse(s) 10-11

“Lot took a long look at the fertile plains of the Jodan Valley in the direction of Zoar, The whole area was well watered everywhere, like the gardenof the Lord or the beautiful land of Egypt. Lot chose for himself the whole Jodan Valley to the east of them. He went there with his flocks and servants and aprted company with his uncle Abram.”

When we stop making choices in God’s direction, we start making the wrong choices. Lot chose the better land, even though he knew it was dangerously close to a sin filled city.

Genesis 14

Key Verse(s): “They also captured Lot– Abram’s nephew who lived in Sodom- and carried off everything he owned.

Well I knew this was coming, It’ s different to see from a 3rd person what greediness get’s you.

Psalm 17

Key Verse(s): —-

I couldn’t pick a key verse from this because i didn’t want to talk about one thing but rather the WHOLE. A lot of times when i go to pray i run out of things to say, I stumble — I sit in quiet thinking of things to pray about. David in this chapter is just praying on and on, fluently and coherently. This prayer also gives me inspiration. i want to be able to resite this prayer and have it be true.. “My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.”

Matthew 9

Key Verse(s): 9

“As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. Follow me and be my disciple, Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.

How crazy does a man have to be to get up, leave his job and follow a stranger. He didn’t know Jesus, yet I do — Why is it so hard for ME to get up and follow him when He asks me to?.

Bless me, so I can bless others.

The theme recently at my inspiring, incredible, amazing church. So often do we ask God to bless ourselves, without the intention of passing it off. The “hypothetical” train isn’t supposed to stop at your station, It’s supposed to keep moving from one person to another. So this month we all our asking ourselves to “bless me, so i can bless others”.

In my awesome church I spoke of a few sentences ago, we are deciding to bless others because of how blessed we are. For Christmas we are giving 16 children in Middletown with parent(s) in jail a christmas present and possibly the chance to share the love of Christ has for us. It’s going to be incredible and I cannot wait to participate in delivering those gifts. Also, bikes-or-bust… A fundraiser to raise 100 bikes for 100 children in Middletown (specifically snow school)… You can check it out here or possible here. December is chocked full of stuff and soon it’ll be christmas vacation. I can’t wait. Hope this blog finds you well. Remember what CHRISTmas is all about.. not I, but others.

Bless me, So i can bless others.

So today after church I went down to the AT&T store to see exactly how much my iPhone would cost and as I was walking to the store a guy stopped me and said “excuse me, can you help me?” and I said “sure, how can i help you” and he said how he needed some money for food and I felt so bad because I really had NONE. He said okay have a good day and I said you too and walked away.. Down the street I realized how selfish people can be and how we horde things. Like money, I’m sure he’s been out there all day and 9/10 times he asks someone and they lie to him and say “sorry, I got none” What ever happened to American’s pride in helping others? IDK.. but then again I don’t stand for the pledge of allegiance at school, is that wrong? I found a funny LOLCAT.. idk if it’s politically correct or whatnot. HAH hope you like.

My favorite season is Winter, not just because of Christmas and the resulting presents, but because of how cold is gets. I love the cold. I don’t know why, but if I’d rather have 1 extreme over the other.. I’d choose to be cold rather than hot. Plus, the school seems to go faster during the winter. Because of the break and everything that comes a long with that. With Swimming starting Dec. 1st, I’m cutting back all my work hours and probably time spent with friends. It makes me upset that when swimming starts it’s like I don’t see friends anymore. This year I’m promising myself that even though i’ll be swimming I’m still going to be going to journey groups and church on Sunday. However my work schedule will probably sat 1-6pm and sun 12-6.. So right after church I’ll have to giddy on up over to Middletown. I’m so anxiously waiting to see what God is going to be doing to our church this Winter. He’s been so great to us thus far and I can’t wait to see what remarkable things are gonna happen. I’ve been reading a lot on how to better oneself and it’s seeped into my soul.. I’ve always been a strong driver and have always seen in myself great leadership (even though sometimes I forget about it.. or I don’t act on it).. But I’m hoping that this winter I’ll truly find where God wants me with Cinema Church. I can’t wait.

I’ll end this off with a question I think….

What do you wish to concur, or encounter, or find this Winter?
