Ouch...that thought hurts!...in a good way

some things that have been pricking my heart to vigilance

Western Christians spend 99.9% of their income on themselves, .09% on the evangelized non-Christian world, and .01% on the unevangelized world.


“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” Mark 9:35


how funny that continual lie still stands in my heart...the false idea that i only need to hear a specific verse once, and it's alive in me. But I need to hear it again and again and again and again and again....Lord make Your words ALIVE in my life.



random Death Cab for Cutie song that put to words how I feel right now...but only not in an emo/depressed way, longing for God rather than man...

"The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.

I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
So come on, come on"


James 4:7-9
Humility Cures Worldliness
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.



God is good to me...though my heart is feeling far away from Him...He is still blessing me. One of my friends is sending me a large check : ) Praise the Lord for always providing for me. He knows what I need even before I ask...thank You Daddy...I love You


i think i just wrote a Haiku...hahahahahaha

i'm glad that statistic provoked you too cuase it did me.
you're off to a good start...supporting me : )
just ask God, i ask Him how much to give to people, and He tells me how He wants me to spend His money....the hard part is having strength and faith to give the amount He tells me away....it hurts...but it's good

Wow!!! Sooo true ma'dam. I need to start changing my spending ways and start spending it on God and His people.

Also,thanks for your reply earlier and I think I might take a flight there this summer and do that 5 week internship with IHOP. I'm pretty sure I want to go there. So if you if you have any more information concerning that internship this summer just please let me know. Thanks a lot for the offer and opening the door for me. Stay cool and stay Sunny.
