Wow the other day I said... I really want to make an XANGA post but I dont remember what it was going to be on.

Well Ive been ok lately. Some of you know I had a hard week last week, yeah preety hard. But I am sooooo much better lately. ooooh I am getting Ideas on what to post about.

Idea #1 and profusion of it:

Last week when I was VERY discouraged, my mother made me go to this youth rally. It was actually the first of its kind at this AWESOME church at which my God parents are pastors and several other God parents and close friends are in leadership. I usually need NO prodding to go to this church, because I LOVE everyone at that church. Half the church knows us and that half is almost all comprised of the leadership. So they take really good care of us and are always challenging me spiritually and just SO encouraging to me. So it was a very weird night in which I didnt want to go. But these preacher was there, who was wonderful. He is known for his ability to break down the text of the Word of God, (and all the Lecrae fans shouted: CHOP IT UP AND SCREW IT!!!).

He spoke out of the text of Ezra and Haggai in which there were 2 of the same biblical accounts. Its the story of when the Children of Israel were allowed by their Persian captor to return to Jerusalem and build a temple. He talked about how some of the children of Israel did not want to go, some did and when they did they were so invigorated and excited to be in and to be building the temple of the Lord up again. Then he talked about those did go back to Jerusalem but they were the older generation and were disappointed because the Temple was not enough like the Temple of the days of Solomon. And so at the ceremony the elders of Israel wept and the Children were dancing, praising and shouting. So much so that you could not tell the difference between the laughing and shouting and the crying, this noise was heard miles away. Are we willing to leave the things of this world behind to be free but in that freedom to be bond by Gods Promises and obedience to Him? The pastor said

We are responsible, WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY even if we are not in our place of comfort or if we are in a place where it is not assumed that this is our responsibility. We are still responsible for repping the Lord (and all the Lecrae and Cross Movement fans said: REP HIM AND REP HIM WELL) and for upholding and building His Kingdom wherever we go.

If you think this is difficult you are right : 

Dont let your PERSONAL PREFERENCES overide GOD's PRINCIPLES.

I love that statement. It give full license for us to be sold out for our LORD.

Wow since this post was soooo heavy Ill stop at Idea #1. lol

Someone said to me yesterday “You strike me as someone who doesn’t live too dangerously, who just kind of says “I have my responsibilities and everything else gets in
Way” (he said this in response to me stating that I did not drink) To that I responded promptly “That’s me.” Then I said, “I live dangerously in other ways” To which he replied “See your always making these cryptic statements” Which definitely got a laugh out of me. But even then I was already thinking… living dangerously…
I wondered if going up and down my block (at the age of 12) sharing the gospel counted as living dangerously. I wondered if the fact that the last 2 overseas countries that I have worked in have had bombings and bomb threats a week to two days before my arrival, or hugging and playing with lice and AIDS infected children, or perhaps traveling to Oaxaca every year at a time it is avoided by tourists and abandoned by its own country men to escape riotings, killings and precivil war action. Perhaps my commitment to missions without money, resources or anything needed, or the teaching of “Character Building” in “inner city schools” where prayer isn’t even allowed isn’t dangerous. But not even the earthly thrill and excitement I procure from any of the things I listed some how seems to be less than the thrill one may get from going out on the town drinking.
Praise God and to Him be the Glory for giving us greater works in Him that will never be done if we continue to seek Him. There will always be kingdom building work to be done and it will always be my greatest honor to do that work as it is assigned to me.

The one day in the year in which I will root against the Michigan Spartans (that only applies if they are NOT contenders for a bowl game in which Michigan is a contender). Aaaaah it has begun... let the best team win...

GO BLUE! Hail to the Victors Valiant! GO BLUE!
