Hahaha, that's funny...

I just read something funny. Here's what it says...

"The book of Jonah is one of the most ridiculed books of the bible,
because it tells a seemingly impossible tale of a man getting eaten by
a whale and suriving."

hahahaha! Isn't that hilarious? This book is doubted because it shows
God performing miracles. Don't all of the other books show this as
well? Of course they do! God performs the impossible! If you can dream
it, he can do it. Even if you CAN'T dream it he can do it. Because
he's awesome like that. And he can do ANYTHING.

So never say I can't. Because since God is a part of you, saying that
is basically saying God can't. Say 'With God's help ANYTHING is
possible.' Because it's true :]

luvsssss...
faith

If you truly seek his love you will find it. It may not be automatic,
but it's worth it.

I'm amazed.

I love how God works in unexpected ways. He is so amazing.

I've been feeling really disconnected from God lately. If you haven't
noticed, all of my recent posts have been more...forced than usual.

Once again I had fear. I knew I needed Jesus back. So tonight, he
reassured me of how loved I am.

I went to an amazing service tonight. The main point I got from it
was: 'Know God, and love is yours.'

1 Chronicles 22:19
Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the lord your God.

Never feel as though you've learned enough and that you are perfectly
ready for him. Because in all truth, you by yourself will NEVER be
ready. No matter how much you read, how much you pray you ALONE will
NEVER be ready. You have to keep learning, growing reaching. You can
never come to a stopping point. But if you ask him to help you, ask
him to guide you, when your time comes you will be saved. He will help
you.

Never lose faith. The words 'I can't?' should not be in your
vocabulary. Because Jesus said 'If you can? Everything is possible for
him who believes!' Mark 9:23

Everything is possible with Christ on your side! Never doubt him.
Never let others get you into the mind set that some things 'just
aren't possible.' Jesus can perform MIRACLES! He can save lives! Pray
for those you want to be healed, because the best doctor is God.

God makes me laugh. God makes me cry. But God is with me always,
always he is there.

God, thank you for all you have done today. Thank you for restoring
all faith I had lost. Thank you for taking away my fear, for showing
me anything is possible! God, I love you.
Amen

So you know how I randomly open my bible sometimes? Just to see what I
find? Well today I got a message, which seemed to be specifically for
me...

*iSaIaH 35:4*
Say to those with fearful hearts, 'Be strong, do not fear; your God will come.

I just thought I'd share that comforting verse with you.

So, I'm supposing that we've all heard about loving our enemies and
yada yada yada....right?

*MaTtHeW 5: 47*

"And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than
others. Do not even pagans do that?"

So in my opinion this is saying "Be different. Be like Christ. Don't
do things ordinarily, do things extraordinarily!"

You are awesome! You are in essence, trying to tell others about God's
love and trying to help change their lives, correct? Well how can you
do this if you can't demonstrate how God's love can change! How his
love can heal!

Soothing words
Comforting hugs
These a demonstration
Of the good Lord above

The gift of happiness, peace
You are amazing, his precious one
And through you my friend
All of his work can be done

Spreading joy
Showing all his power
Saving their eternity
By sharing one small hour

God's love is great
God's love is pure
God's love can heal
God's love can cure

luvssss...

I love Jesus and he loves me.

What more is there to say?

So you know....

Alright, you know how all Christians say that God has had your life
set out for you since before you were born?

So....that would mean that God chooses who will go to heaven or hell
in the end, and we really have no choice right?

This is soo untrue. God did make your life plan, that is true. But he
created choices in it...

You see, your life plan is more like climbing a tree (that God
made)...You start at the bottom and then it splits off into a couple
of branches, which you must choose from. And on those branches are
more branches, and every branch you choose is another decision. Some
of the branches are weaker than others, but as you are climbing your
own little tree of life it is always possible to get back on the right
path.

You could also compare life to a highway (again, that God made). You
start off on one main road and go onto exits and other roads and you
may not know where you are. But God is like your own personal GPS.
There is always a way to get to the destination you want to be at.
Some just take more faith and patience than others.

And I think on each of these exits there are signs, such as the signs
that tell you where food is. These signs along the road help you get
to what you need. And on your personal highway, all of these signs are
pointing to God. This is also like fruit on a tree. The fruit will
nourish you and keep you going. Just like God does.

So never think, when you're having a tough day, that God is intending
to make your life miserable. You won't always be lost. Having faith in
him is what can get you back in the right direction.

God loves you and will NEVER let you down.

luvvvssssss.....

faith

tomorrow....

Tomorrow I'm going to have a good post. Actually, a REALLY good post.
And if I wasn't having a sleepover right now, I would write it...

Patience my dears....

*-.-*

Just let this sink in...

2 Corinthians 7:6
"His love endures forever"

Shakespeare and Jesus...

'God is my refuge and my strength, my ever present help in times of trouble.'

Psalm 46:1

Here is a list of what else God is....

-Loving
-Caring
-Forgiving
-There with you
-Amazing
-Helping
-Your creator
-Serenity
-The sacrifice
-Perfect
-Almighty
-King of Kings
-Love

Some people may think, that because he says some of these things about
himself he is a bit conceited. Well, to me, it's as the saying goes.
'It isn't bragging if it's true!'

Oops. I left something of the list.

-The truth

Actually, I left a lot of the list, because another description of God
is 'indescribable'.

Some people think of the bible as fiction, because it was written in a
time that isn't in our history books. So they don't believe any of it
was ever real. But they also believe that Shakespeare was real because
he left his books of plays, so it was impossible for him to be made
up. Even if it was in another time.

The bible is like God's personal 'book of plays'. It's showing that he
was there. And it shows you the messages he wants to get across, just
like Shakespeare.

So if you ever start to doubt the truthfulness of the bible, think
about Shakespeare. Think about how we always try to find the meaning
of his plays, and try to understand them. Do that with the bible too.
Because unlike plays, which are fiction, the bible is ALL truth! And
the truth is great.

luvssss...

PS: I wasn't originally going to write that. So maybe God knew that
one of my readers needed to hear this....he's awesome like that in
getting messages across :)

People w/ Praying Problems...

Ok, I understand. We're all having some praying problems. I'm just
here to give some tips....

-When you just can't remember that thing that you prayed about so you
don't even remember if it happened...

This is a REALLY good way to pray. Get a notebook and just write down
your prayers instead of saying them aloud! I used to do this and
praying is a lot easier now. I know exactly what I want to pray for
and why. Just try it!

-But it didn't HAPPEN!
When people say this, the prayer is usually something like 'God, help
me get an A on this test' or 'God, help me win this competition'

Well, I see two problems...

A: They wording. THIS test could be ANY test. You should probably say
something more along the lines of, 'The Geography test I'm about to
take.' Because if he helped you on another test, he would still be
answering the same prayer

B: Think about what you are asking for. Are you mentally and
physically prepared? If you are doing a competition, and you haven't
been practicing do you really have the strength to do it? You should
probably prepare yourself before praying, and then use words like
'help me use my strength'

NOTE: THESE ARE NOT NECESSARY! THESE ARE MERELY TIPS! YOU CAN PRAY
HOWEVER YOU WANT! THERE IS NO WRONG WAY TO PRAY! THESE WILL JUST HELP
YOU TELL GOD EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED WITHOUT HIM HAVING TO DIG THROUGH
YOUR THOUGHTS.

Okay, just had to say that. Yes, God does know what you need in life.
And he will provide when neccesary. Praying is the way of you telling
God how much you trust him.

You tell your best friend almost everything right? Well, God knows
everything about you. But when you reveal these innermost thoughts and
deep secrets to him, he knows that you are turning yourself over to
him. He knows that you trust him and rely on him for everything.

God loves you like crazy and he absolutely loves to hear your voice.
He aches to have a conversation with you and until heaven, prayer is
the closest he gets.

luvsss
