Comment some!! I want to know what you think of these verses too, not just my take of it.
Genesis 24
Key Verse(s): 12
“O Lord, God of my master, Abraham. Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master. See, I am standing here beside this spring, and the young women of the town are coming out to draw water. This is my request, I will ask one of them, Please give me a drink from your jug, and if she says Yes, have a drink and I will water your camels too — let her be the one you have selected as Isaac’s wife.”
I’ve always wondered about Prayer and how I should go about doing it. Of course, it’s you talking to God.. requesting thing, talking with him, etc. But I’ve never realized how specific people can be. If you want something? pray EXACTLY that. God know’s whatt you want and what you don’t want.. It’s not going to change the outcome, but praying exactly what he want expresses an openness and a very developed relationship. Whoa
Psalm 27:
Key Verse(s): 7-8
“Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, Lord I am coming.”
Again, with prayer. You don’t physically hear God, talking to you (that’d be kinda creepy.. like when I swim in the pool with underwater sound.. It sounds just like you’re hearing in directly into your brain and not through your ears… freaky) He replied immediately “Lord, I am coming”.. without hesitance.. How many times do I miss God talking to me and instead of going to Him, I go to other’s who cannot do anything about it.. To burden them with stupid things that mean nothing.. Harsh
Matthew 17
Key Verse(s): 20
“You don’t have enough faith…. even as small as a mustard seed….. nothing would be impossible”
I cut out the little parts in between to get the main idea across. I love this verse and I’ve seen it many times. If someone had faith even as small as a mustard seed nothing would be impossible.. What could I do with that faith? What WOULD I do.. I would definitely tell everyone about God, (even though I’m working on that…. yeah!) Awesome.
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.
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?
So sorry to use you like an item
So sorry to have constantly berated you with constant typing.
So sorry to have dropped you a few too many times
So sorry to have gotten you a little too wet, falling in water.

R.I.P my old friend, Mr. BlackJack I
It’s time to move on to bigger and better things…

Have you ever thought of the fact that someone is watching you? You are their role-model.
Every step, every move, every action is being watched by that person..
I never had a male role-model growing up because from when I could remember my Dad never was really involved in my life..
How do you find one? How do you let that person know you are their role-model?
I guess as a guy we’re supposed to be tough, and not show our emotions.. How are we supposed to do that and not come off as, what the general public would say, “gay”. I don’t get it sometimes.. the double standards of girls wanting guys to be open and act like a gentlemen, but then girls saying that a guy is “too nice” for them.
Back to my point.. If you were to chose a male role-model (or already have one)
What are the main characteristics as to WHY they are your male role-model.
Thanks, im looking forward to these responses.

There has been a lot of things that I should be writing about daily that I’ve just been skipping over really.. and I don’t want to have a 10 page post about my step by step daily life and how it’s been.. So i’ll just start off here and pretend like nothing has happened in the past few weeks. deal? okay.
Today’s Mike’s message was really good. In fact, I think every week has been really good. When Mike speaks it brings out so much life, hope, and energy in me. It makes me realize how much of a life I DO have, how much hope i have in God, and how much energy I have when it comes to God and doing things for God. It keeps me on a “high” i should say and it’s just incredible what that man can speak about. Even though church started at 9am this morning. I’ve been anticipating it for a few days now.. just counting down until it’s sunday so I can a) have a day off and b) go to church and worship God. speaking of which…
(segway)

Worship is something that I really do crave, and not having it for the past few months was getting to bother me.. but then we started having brendan and angela acousticly play worship songs and its just been great. I really do love to just sing and stuff, but I’m terrible at it! It’s so funny to hear myself since because i desperetely want to be good at it, but yet. suck so terribly much at it. A lot of the times when i begin to sing i stop myself because I’m afraid of what others will think (and I know, if you are going to comment on this.. I KNOW I SHOULDNT CARE.. its for God right?) well I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Today I heard Dan singing and it was so cool to hear another guy sing besides brendan (or Mike.. like last week i heard him singing).. it was so amazing to see a guy step out in their faith and sing in front of people, even if they didn’t realize it.. they helped me a lot.
So, I’m sure you’re glad im wrapping this post up. I know it’s a long one.. But I hope to have more things posted daily for all you readers. (like the 2 of you.. lol)
Have a good day.
