Materialism

When is enough exactly enough? As humans on this earth, we want more CD's,DVD's, the latest technology, the newest ipod or the latest car. How can't we be grateful what we have and be content on what we do have and not what we want or don't have. Look at other countries in the world, they have so little yet they are so grateful for the little things like shoes,running water,education and just a place to rest their head at night. Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 2 cor9:6. Live a life of simplicity and share the wealth.

knee drill on thursday

Thursday night, i had a picture when we were singing mision fuel by tim hughes, fill us up and send us out is the bridge, i saw all of us marching out to the streets but we were linked by our arms and it look like a joel's army. i looked up joel 2 and i felt i was supposed to shared it but never did but there is grace and i know for next time to share what i am hearing because there is blessing in obedience.

Joel 2:3-11:Before them fire devours,
behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,
behind them, a desert waste—
nothing escapes them.

4 They have the appearance of horses;
they gallop along like cavalry.

5 With a noise like that of chariots
they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire consuming stubble,
like a mighty army drawn up for battle.

6 At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;
every face turns pale.

7 They charge like warriors;
they scale walls like soldiers.
They all march in line,
not swerving from their course.

8 They do not jostle each other;
each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
without breaking ranks.

9 They rush upon the city;
they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;
like thieves they enter through the windows.

10 Before them the earth shakes,
the sky trembles,
the sun and moon are darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.

11 The LORD thunders
at the head of his army;
his forces are beyond number,
and mighty are those who obey his command.
The day of the LORD is great;
it is dreadful.
Who can endure it?

Jesus make this body more like the joel's army please and all of the around the planet as well. amen

My parents giving me the opportunity to come to vancouver and paying for me to go to the war college

Have parents that love me and care what happened to me.

I have friends that love me for me.

I am feeling a bit depressed, confused,angry at myself and other people,feeling like i have wasted the last 3 months as phase 2, like a paper weight in this community , not seeing a lot of growth in me, not seeing myself as a leader and just wanting to leave but knowing that would just be running away and that is not like me and that not what jesus want me to do, strugging with focus,unbelief and just my relationship with jesus in general right now encouragement would be lovely as well.

Verse Of The Day

“ Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. ”- Philippians 2:14-16


Jesus make me more like you, help me to do everything without complaining and arguing, that i would do it for you and only you so i can shine my light like a star in this dark dark world.

luke 15:11-31

The Parable of the Lost Son
11Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.
13"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' 20So he got up and went to his father.
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.[b]'

22"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

25"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'

28"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'

31" 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "


I love this parole, everytime i read this, i get this picture of jesus standing in the middle of interaction of main and hasting just with his arms wide open and waiting there to bring the love and accepted that the people on the street desires the most. it is so awesome

Justice

But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream! Amo 5:24

So god has been stirring up my heart about justice against the childrens of the third world countries. I remember i was in the war room and i was reading Be a hero and i was reading the 7 deadly sin and i just burst into tears and god gave me two things for action which to be a mother to the nations and to sponsor a child which i haven't done yet but i made a deadline for myself by the end of janurary i will. It is so cool.

jame1:17

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

went to 7 eleven earlier today to kill some time before lunch and me and ashley saw our friends aaron, darren and jonathan&jedediah. Aaron yelled across to the street to me asking what i was doing right at that sec, i said nothing. He asked me if i want to go to the bronze medal match at the world juniour world champship. I agree of course so i walked with them to GM place. IT was awesome. It was the finland vs the USA, Finland won 4-2, woohoo. It so much fun!

thanks you Jesus for the sweet hookup today and what a blessing it was.

a pure heart

everyone knows you harvest what you sow, you reap what you plant, what we know when we develop land, we tend to forgot when we cultivate our hearts.
think a moment of your heart as a greenhouse, the similaries come quickly to mind,It too a magnificent gift from your father,It too perfectly suited for growth and your heart, like a greenhouse has to be managed. Consider for a moment that your thoughts are like seeds. Some thoughts become flowers, others become like weeds. Sow seeds of hope and enjoy optimism or sow seeds of doubt and expect insecurity.

Scripture verse: Gal 6:8: The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life

verse of the day

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, ”- Titus 2:11-12

Say no to the world and said yes to the things that god want to give you.
