Trust and Obey, and know that God is with you

A lesson that I have been learning is, that even when all things seem like that everyone is against you, and trying to keep you from a relationship. You have to trust God, and remember that if your obedient to his word by submitting to athorities that God has placed in our lives, Like our parent's; God will bless you and help you to endure the time appart.

Even if you feel that those that have charge over you, and the other person is wrong and unfair, you have to always remember that God loves you, you have to trust his word and know that it must be for a reason.

Moving on...

Packing your stuff, saying good bye, leaving, making new friends, and then repeat.
All major influence's in my life from age 6-11. Sure I got to go places but who could really stand having to constantly say good bye to all of their friends, and never knowing if you would see them again? Well after a while of never knowing if, or when I was going to move again, with my dad being in the military, and living with my grandparents, or my mom's friend.

I decided to only make one friend. However, no matter what I tried I still made a lot of friends and so I decided not to have any friends at all(this was three years ago).

For about 2 years that worked, but I started missing all my old friends so I called them all. Every single one of them had changed there likes/dis-likes and their personality. I just thought they were weird. For a while I thought I was in the right, but I saw that nothing about me had changed (still childish) I was dwelling on the past.

Later that year (2007), I met some one who really stood out from all of my friends and we became good friends, but only for a while(till 2009). It was around that time when I started fulfilling my true calling in life, which is a media ministry called GENESIS2.7 Media Ministres, she was the one that helped me to learn how to move on.

I have finally let go, I haven't said goodbye to my friends, But I now know I will see them again either in the future, or in Heaven. When they need me I will be there.
If it's God's will He will bring us together again.

Don't Let Flattery Bring You Down

My mother has been reading a lot about all the celebrity singers and how it's sometimes hard to keep themselves grounded in all the hype and fame. Some people have someone to keep them grounded such as parents, or friends. The problems that some teen stars have is there fans, I am not saying all fans are like this, but they will scream and try to get there autograph. A naive singer/actor would let it go to there head and say, "Wow! They really like me!", and that is where teen stars will start to act like they are too good for anybody. If they are not careful, they will get caught up in the image of the hype. They will begin to forget who they are, and start to think that they are what they do. If they are not carefui they will make themselves an Idol. Soon every single door to there dreams will shut and that is How flattery will bring you down.

I asked Sara Reeves, an up and coming christian artist, how someone stays God centered, verses Industry centered. She said she doesn't look at the charts, or read
the magazines and what they say about her, because if your not careful, you'll start
to believe it.

The Bible says, in Romans 12:3 "Because of the kindness that God has shown me, I ask you not to think of yourselves more highly than you should. Instead, your thoughts should lead you to use good judgment based on what God has given each of you as believers."

Undying Love

You know, I have had so many teenage boys come up to me and tell me, "Man, I need a girlfriend!" and I always ask them "Why?". There answer would be, "Just to say I'm with a girl."

What I would tell them is that, I use to think the same way as they did, but that I came to the conclusion that you can't fill your life with an empty relationship. There is someone who can please you as long as you tell that person how great they are. There answer would be ,"Who? Who? and Is she hot?"

I would laugh and say, "No. The person I am talking about is God." They would tell me, "Oh, him? How could he please me?". I would say, "Well, his love is undying so no matter what you do wrong, He will always forgive and love you!"

There Will Be A Day

How many of you have ever had someone close to you die? Well my grandfather died not too long ago, but I wasn't there when he took his last breath. I was teaching kids at church that night, what's weird is that I could have gone home and spent some time with him before he passed, but I chose to stay at the church and teach. I felt that I was needed there and you know what? I wasn't upset that he died. I was only upset because I knew that I was going to miss him.

I had forgotten that he went to a better place, I let that get to me and it really tore me appart. God told me to stop thinking the way I was, and to always remember "there will be a day with no more tears and no more pain", and I said to myself "Hey isn't that from a song?". I looked for it and I found it. Here it is:

Everything

I know I have already talked a little bit about depression but this is where I learned my lesson the hard way. I started to push away all my friends, I didn't care about my hygiene, my skin was turning pale white, and even my mom saw that I was acting horribly. I didn't want to have anything to do with my brother or anyone for that matter, but what I soon realized is that I was only thinking of myself. I didn't care what was going on in my friends lives. By that time, it was too late. I had no friends and even my brother didn't want to play with me anymore. So I started to pray and ask God what I needed to fix my life and the Lord spoke to me by giving me a prayer to pray every time something goes wrong in my life.

Prayer:
"Lord, I do not even know what I need to be better than I am today, but in Your wisdom You see my every need. Give me what You will in order that I might be an honor and a glory to You." So I said that prayer and the Lord told me to look up this video on youtube called "Everything". You will see for yourself what I mean by clicking the link below.

Perfection

There was a time I thought I was imperfect, but that's because that's what other people told me.

For two years I fell into a black hole of depression about myself, but I reallized that it didn't

matter how other people saw me, it was how God saw me that mattered.

How many times has someone said nobody's perfect, or Thought you were imperfect?

You have to get that out of your mind, because that is not true. God created us and he is

perfect. He said we were created to be like Him in all things. We might have messed up once,

but God sent his only son to die for our sins, so that we could be perfect in His eyes. So remember everyone, you are perfect in God's eyes!

Brothers Keeper

Who here has a little brother, who always brings his friends over to play? Well I do, and when he brings them over I end up taking care of them. When my brother plays with his friends, there is always an accident. I always end up taking the blame for it, because I never take charge before anything happens. I have to learn to be "The Big Brother" not just another kid. I have try not to be like Cain; he was his brothers keeper and instead of protecting his little brother from harm, he killed him.

To all you "Big Brothers and Sisters" out there- Stand up! Take charge!Be the oldest and know that God is on your side!

Obedience is better than Sacrifice

May 3, 2009 - Sunday

Hey everyone! How many of you can say that they have made big mistakes? Well I can safely say that I have. The mistake that I recently made involves my little brother.

We were inside a clubhouse & we were not suppose to be. We disobeyed our parents but anyway, this club house was falling appart so I tried fixing it while my brother was inside. Something went wrong though, one bad swing and I hit a loose piece of wood, and that wood cut my brothers forehead. All of the sudden he was bleeding alot! I felt like ripping the door off the club house and pulling him out, but he came out screaming so I took him home. Man I was freaked out!!

I had his blood all over my hands & all I could think was, " I hope he's alright!" Later that same day, the Lord spoke to me, He told me, "You are your brothers keeper and when you stop thinking about him- then his blood is in your hands, just like Cain and Abel."
