What Day Is It??

Clearly Friday's Post is now early Saturday mornings post! This Post is short and sweet and actually requires you to add your input on various activity and content selections!

I have decided that in order to post at least once a day I will begin a short Days of the week seiries as follows...

Mondays- Missionary Mondays; I am honored to have known quite a few missionaries so i will be taking the time each week to reflect on current and past missionaries who are changing the world

Tuesdays- Testimony Tuesdays; Ha you guessed it! But I am giving you a loop hole... This day is not just for me to share what God has done in my life but what he is doing in the lives of those around me. Each week will be devoted to Someone's Testimony (if not mine) Comment below to find out how to share your story

Wednesdays- Wild n Out Wednesdays; Its crazy its random heck it even makes sense!

Thursdays- Theological Thursdays; (DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A THEOLOGIAN) This is the day when i share a devotional or a passage of scripture and what God is teaching me through it all!

Fridays- Feature Fridays; We will be tackling issues in the American Church and breaking down the walls of  Denomination.

Saturdays- Sabbath Saturdays; Look up the word Sabbath (if i do post it won't be a long one)

Sundays- Spiritual Sundays; I will be posting links and notes to sermons I listened to that week!

The Last 15 Days

So I know that I have Failed You In the area of keeping updated so I greet you this time with a hearty hello and a moving rendition of Hairspray's I Know Where I've Been.

You see the past few weeks have been crazy for me. Its been filled with praise to GOD, me moving churches, ministry, finding real brothers being prompted to go to bible college, getting my bike fixed, and on top of it all, trying to figure out how I am Going to continue to actually keep in contact with those who mean most to me!

Wow so where to start. Okay so this is going to be a blog that may encourage or discourage you. Let it encourage and if it is discouraging let it do so to a point where you must be encouraged to change.

So during this awesome time with GOD I have been discovering what it truly means to be his and to be set apart for his divine will. In doing so we must also be obedient and we must be putting our flesh to death daily. This season has also shown me that I am very bad at doing that. Man as I sit here I want to call out to GOD and to sit next to him and speak with him and be with him. At the same time I realize that he is forever loving, but I am forever unrighteous. Right now I have been going through three scriptures in the spiritual/physical realms.
First I've been in ROMANS a lot. Particularly passages 3:9-31, 7:7-8 :29, and 12 in its entirety. I have also been studying in HAGGAI 1 and finally, HOSEA 2. Each of these passages will be explained in later blogs along with my testimony its going to be a mini series over the next 15 days. Last but certainly not least I have begun to read A wonderful book by Pastor Francis Chan Crazy Love. I will also be blogging about the book and the many revelations GOD is bringing to me through it.

But For Now I leave you with this!

What Significance Do These Numbers Have?

The Birth Of A New BLOG

So I realized that my blog is now two days old. LOL

I have been reading blogs all morning (1.5hrs) and I noticed the strangest thing.

  1. If you use your blog as a place to vent your feelings and opinions on any issue whether personal, private, or socially controversial, usually you end up working through your issues and ending your blog or realizing you should be doing more and by that time your creating a new blog!
  2. If you use your blog as a place to inform your distant family and friends about goings on in your life (families, Children, Spouses, Faith[however that may look]) or even about what you spend your spare time divulging in, your passions or anything that you have a truly deep heartstring (beyond infatuated, but not clinically posessed) invested in, You usually end up keeping the blog and posting on average two to five times a week!
My point to this is that my blog and I am in it for the long haul! This is my child and if I don't care for it who will?! (maybe a little bit over board)

Anyways, this is my blog and I want to get to know you guys who are reading this! (whoever you are out ther in cyberland!) I want you to ASK QUESTIONS get ANSWERS (see not as effective) vote on my polls, comment, and literally become part of my world you guys are my passion right now!

I love you guys and I can't wait to see my blog mature. BUT it can't happen without you! So comment ask questions (I'm repeating myself aren't I?) ... T_T Seriously this is a place for me to answer you! (and give my opinion to life) ...

So I Guess This Is When I Say Bye

But Saying Bye Is ImplyingThat I Might Not Ever See You Again

Which Isn't At All Possible Cause I've Never Actually Seen You Here Before

So Instead Of Saying Bye
(which I never say BTW's)

I'll End My Blogs With Awkward Pictures Relevant To The Day Or Theme Of The Blog

So...
DO NOT DIE

Thats The Goal This Season
