Courage

"Courage is fear that has said its prayers" - Anne Lamott

Passing His Love onwards

It only takes a spark

To get a fire going;

And soon all those around

Can warm up in its glowing.

That's how it is with God's love

Once you experience it.

You spread His love to everyone

You want to pass it on!

To everyone out there, The Lord loves me and through him, I want to pass on that Love He has given to me to each one of You. No matter how tough life might be out there, remember, God will forever Love you.

The Way Forward

Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. - Matt 5:37

My typical normal day

Morning
> Run if possible
> Breakfast with parents
> Watch some sports like the NBA/NHL playoffs

Afternoon
> Help out with lunch
> Surf the net
> Chat on msn
> Read newspaper/a book
> Catch a nap

Evening/Night
> Read some christian/sports/world news article online
> Do QT
> Watch some anime

Really looks like a retirement kind of lifestyle but its really great to do the simple stuff and enjoy life at this pace. Not much longer to enjoy this so enjoy i must !

Invitation to the Thirsty

Isaiah 55

"Come, all you who are thirsty,

come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.

Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.

Give ear and come to me;
hear me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.

See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander of the peoples.

Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations that do not know you will hasten to you,
because of the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor."

Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way
and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.

"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.

Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the LORD's renown,
for an everlasting sign,
which will not be destroyed."

He will carry you

THERE IS NO PROBLEM TOO BIG
GOD CANNOT SOLVE IT

THERE IS NO MOUNTAIN TOO TALL
HE CANNOT MOVE IT

THERE IS NO STORM TOO DARK
GOD CANNOT CALM IT

THERE IS NO SORROW TOO DEEP
HE CANNOT SOOTHE IT

IF HE CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD UPON HIS SHOULDERS
I KNOW MY BROTHER
THAT HE WILL CARRY YOU

IF HE CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD UPON HIS SHOULDERS
I KNOW MY SISTER
THAT HE WILL CARRY YOU

HE SAID: "COME UNTO ME
ALL WHO ARE WEARY
AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST"

Luke 6: 27-38

Love for Enemies

"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Judging Others

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

A time for everything

There's a time to rejoy, there's a time to cry
There's a time to be still, there's a time to move on
There'a a time to embrace, there's a time to reject
There's a time to build, there's a time to tear down
There's a time to question, there's a time to answer
There's a time to speak, there's a time to be silent
There's a time to love, there' a time to hate
There's a time to say hi, there's a time to say bye
