Not About me

how i could Stand Here and watch the sunrise follow the mountians to where they touch the sky, and punder the vastness and depths of the sea, and think for a moment the point of it all was to make much of me. I am just a whisper You are the thunder.

and how i can kneel here and think or the cross, the thorns, the nails, the whip, and the spear, the infanite cost to purchase my pardon and bear all my shame, to think i have anything worth bosting in, except your name cause i am the sinner and you are the savior.


this is your love oh God, not to make much of me but to send your Son that we could make much of you for all eternity.













All About You



i talk about the day You walked into my life and took the shame away

i talk about Your love its more than i could ever dream of.

i talk about Your Face and when i get to see it for eternity

i talk about up above, the heavens and wonder what they are made of



its easy to fugure what my life is all about....

its all about You, its not about me

where ever i go i want people to see Your light is shining

every single thing i do

its all about You



I talk about Your hands, how You lift me up when I get under them

I talk about Your Eyes and how they always see me even through the night

I talk about your voice, i hear you You callin even though the noise

I talk about Your arms, how they wrap me up and keep me safe from harm.

Who Brews ?


Once there was this couple (could be paul and angie) discussing who should make the coffee, he says to the wife " do it" but she replied " You do it, i get up later and then you will not have to wait for it". "but you are the cook" he replied. "but the bible says its the mans job". "show me" he said. so she gets her bible and opens it and says "look its right there" and sure enough it said at the top of the page HE BREWS.

Even When


How many times are we having devotions or in church do we put God on the back burner? when we are having devo do we put our time with God on hold to txt a friend or to answer a call? thats putting the world before God. how many times to we rush off to work or to school and forget to pray or to read the word? its tough to do but if we get in the habit of it we will do it without even thinking...so um ya that pretty much concludes my message thankyou for reading and if you arent asleep then WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




This week i prayed one time, my phone it rang i put you on the other line. and now my thoughts they drift away, unless my faith is put to the test and i am forced to bow again, although i am in this flesh i dosent mean You shouldent have the best from me, from me.


Even when my eyes are dry, even when my soul is tired, even when my hands are heavy I will lift them up to You. its not about how i feel, Lord I am here for You Ohhh i exist for You.


i close my eyes but all i see is a bunch black and squigly lines and all my mistakes coming back to mind. But i will lift my voice any make a joyful shout, forget about me it'll only get me down. i cannot see but it doesnt mean i shouldnt say to You, to You.


even when my eyes are dry, even when my soul is tired, even when my hands are heavy still i lift them up to you. its not about how i feel Lord i am here for You. ohhhh i exist for You.


You've given me your life, when glory divine is sitting in my presence the least that i can do is give my all to You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comfort

The Lord is my Shepherd
That's Relationship!

I shall not want
That's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
That's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters.
That's Refreshment!


He restoreth my soul
That's Healing!


He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness.
That's Guidance!

For His name sake
That's Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
That's Testing!

I will fear no evil.
That's Protection!

For Thou art with me
That's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me,
That's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
That's Hope!

Thou anointest my head with oil,
That's Consecration!

My cup runneth over.
That's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
That's Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord.
That's Security!

Forever
That's Eternity

Made to Worship - Chris Tomlin


wow this is like the 5th song i have posted but god has really been speaking to me through music so ya like here goes nothing. but before i post it i guess i think this is a correct statment (if i am wrong then tell me)............so like when we listen to or dance worship music and when we have worship time on sundays or whenever we are worshiping God right? so dont you think that when we sing and dance to secular music then arent we worshiping the devil?...............i dunno. another thing is can worshiping become an idol? can we sometimes get so caught up in the musiclike the way it sounds that we focus on the wrong thing? .............so ya whatever. here is an awesome song.

Before the day, before the before the world revolved around the God on High, stepped down into time and wrote the story of His Love for everyone He has filled our hearts with wonder so that we always remember For you and I are made to worship you and I are called to loveyou and I are forgiven and free when you and I embrace surrender you and I choose to believe then you and I will see who we were meant to be all we are and all we have is all the gift from God that we received brought to life, we open up our eyes to see the majesty and glory of the King even the rocks cry out even the heavens shout the sound of His holiness so let everyone sing out and let every knee bow down He is worthy of all our praise.

Lifetime


I have fallen to my knees As I sing a lullaby of pain I'm feeling broken in my melody As I sing to help the tears go away Then I remember the pledge You made to me I know You're always there to hear my every prayer inside. I'm clinging to the promise of a lifetime I hear the words You say to never walk away from me and leave behind The promise of a lifetime Will You help me fall apart? Pick me up, take me in Your arms Find my way back from the storm, and You show me how to grow through the change I still remember the pledge You made to me. I am holding on to the hope I have inside With You I will stay through every day Putting my understanding aside, I am comforted To know You're always there To hear my every prayer inside I'm clinging to the promise of a lifetime I hear the words You say To never walk away from me And leave behind the promise of a lifetime.

Not Sure What To Call This


1Cor 13
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

I have read this chapter time and time again and i never realised what it meant till i heard angie read it @ youth group wed the other wed night. We can have all kinds of spiritual gifts like the gift of tongues and prophesy but if you have not love it is NOTHING, i guess it just really stuck out to me that if we have all these things and not love it is pointless. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Mark 12:31 says that we are to love our neighbor as our selves and that there is no greater commandment than that. John 15:13 says "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends". so the Bible says alot about love so i am guessing thatits really important.

My Battle Cry !!!!!!!!!!

Shut Me Out

Tell me something I don't already know
I know that you can't stand these things I'm preaching in the streets
But how can I contain the truth I hold inside
With all the hurting people that I see
So I don't mind putting up with you

And all the things you say
I'm not about to stop
Or even change my ways
There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There's nothing you can do
To shut me up when I'm speaking the truthYou may not like all I have to say
But you can't prove that everything is filled with empty wordsI know my life and inside how I've changed
A testimony to the truth I speak
There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There's nothing you can do
To shut me up when I'm speaking the truth
There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There's nothing you can do
To shut me up, to shut me out when I'm speaking the truth

Ok so like my parents are totally sick of this song, but its the truth its....its......its my battle cry its what i would say to those who try to tell me that there is no God or what ever........i love this song and pump it really loud almost every day cause i feel like when i do, when i sing it, i am telling the world that there is nothing they can do about me or about God and if they don't like it they can just......um uhhhh......umm .........they can just deal with it because i am not changing no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOT !!!! WOOT!!!!

A little walk

Close your eyes an take a walk with me( on second thought don't cause then ya cant read) , out of the city and through the country side. The sky is clear the stars and moon are shining brightly, a light breeze rustles through the leaves. as we continue our walk we come to a very narrow path off the road, the path leads deep into the forest. as we enter the forest it gets very dark......except for a dim little dot of light coming from a lantern. we stop at the side of a rushing river, in the side of the bank is a enterance to a cave the man holding the lantern says to us " come father has been extecting you."
as we follow the man in to the cave he takes us deeper and deeper through steep and narrow passages. As we walk the man holding the lantern says "many have tried to find their own way in here but no one comes to the father but by me".
finally after seemingly hours of climbing through the dark, we see a light at the end of the passage, Nearer and nearer, the light gets brighter and brighter, then finally we enter a cavern, a glorious cavern, its splendor is indiscribable, at the end of the cavern is a enormous throne an sitting on the throne is a man, his face is kind, his smile is radiant, with a soft voice he says come, sit at my feet.



that is the picture that was in my head last night at youth group. to me that is what it is to sit at the feet of the father.

Father


Youve given far beyond my deepest need, so I give my deepest thanks to You for all I've seen You do and all the things I am yet to see, still I'm confident to wait patiently. I cry out and You answer, I cry out and You answer. Father, I know you listen when i pray, Father, Would You hear these simple words I say. Im amazed at were we've been, I can't imagine where I'd be with out you here with me. with a faith beyond the things I could see, so many times I've watched Your hand as it guides me. I cry out and You answer, I cry out and You answer. Father, I know You listen when I pray, Father, Would You hear these simpple words i say. Tears are falling over me like rain, You've been so faithful time and again and forever I'm reminded of Your grace, beautiful grace.

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

Wasted


Well i have been thinking alot about this this week, on saturday night the one song we sang was about letting God just take our lives.
Take me
use me
waste me
break me
ruin me
that is what i want.
i want all that God has for me cause to starve is to feast and less of me means more of Jesus..... and i cant remember any more of the song. Those words just stuck with me i just want God to come and fill my body and just to use me for his glory. My Dream is to some day be able to sing and lead worship, that would be soooo incredible ...ummm i think that if that day ever comes i am gonna faint:) :) :)

Heal Our Land !

Father, we are in desperate need of revival.
Lord help us seek your face
We repent from our unrightous ways.

Give us strength to turn from evil,
Jesus keep us in your hand
God in heaven hear our cries
COME HEAL OUR LAND ! ! ! ! ! !

We want REVIVAL !
we need REVIVAL !
we cry REVIVAL !
we pray REVIVAL !

GOD HEAL OUR LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this land is sick in need of God alone. we need revival and it starts with us, it starts with our youth group! we are the future generation and it is up to us. The weight of the world is on our shoulders it is up to us to go unto all of the nations and teach the gosple unto all of the world. and it starts here it starts in our schools, our jobs, our church, our county, state, nation, WORLD! i think that we need to get together and just pray for revival, it says in the bible that if we repent from our unrightous ways and turn from evil and call on the Lord that He WILL hear from heaven and heal our land. so there we have it we need to get together and pray and pray and pray then God in heaven will hear our cry and our land will be healed.
it is soo incourageing to meet other christians. Yesterday at work this guy came up to me and gave me this track and asked if i knew where i was going , i said yes i do strait to heaven! and we had a cool discussion and it was really encouraging to talk to him, i dont know who he was some dude from california but it was still very cool to just talk to some one else about jesus and just be encouraged.
Something else happened this week that was totally God it was the most awesome thing it was just incredible. but i will tell ya'll later :) :) :)

24/7


hey whats up i totally couldnt wait to update after i had my devotions last night. God gave me this poem (sorta poem) any way it goes like this.

Open my eyes,
Open my ears,
We wanna see
We wanna hear, from heaven
Lord teach us to be in the Spirit, 24/7

(i texted it to some of you peeps last night) any way, we have been talking alot about being in the spirit 24/7 . The lord has been teaching me so much it is just awesome, to be in the spirit 24/7...... WOW what an awesome thought. it is soo cool like through the day you can just pray and stuff. like in your mind while you doing your school or your chores or just what ever, to me i think that is what it is like to be in the spirit 24/7 i mean like to just be praying and talkingto God all the time, in the Bible it says to pray without ceasing. it is a hard thing to do, but i think that, that is what we should strive for.

In The Day



Well this post should be better than the last one i hope. 4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[
a]' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.15"So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,'[b] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 22If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time.26"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.29"Immediately after the distress of those days " 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'[c]30"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.32"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.The Day and Hour Unknown36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.42"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

in case no one knows this this is the time that we are living in if you read this think about it. wars, nation against nation this is the day we live in. when Jesus was talking to His deciples at the last supper, He told them that " if they percicute Me they WILL percicute you " He didnt say maybe, He didnt say that they will not, He said that they will. My prayer is that when the day comes that i will be strong in the Lord and i will not give in, because that day is coming and i pray that i would be ready when it does.B.
