My checkbook added up to my online statement in a row... this doesnt feel right at all. I was able to finish my final in time for work... Something must have gone wrong! I have enough money to start a savings account, put gas in my car, and have a little left over... what is WRONG with this? For the first time in months, I dont feel rushed... am I forgetting something?This has definately been going through my head today. We live in a society where everything goes wrong, and it seems that it always will. So when things go right, I really SHOULD be thanking God... but instead I am trying to figure out what went wrong, and how Im going to suffer for it later.I mentioned this on facebook, that this is all so good to be true. A friend of mine commented on my status, telling me...

A Delicate Situation That Needs Help If You Are Able

Since last summer, I have been studying the bible with Jehovahs Witnesses. They are wonderful people, caring, and they share the ministry of Jesus the way he did, seeking out people instead of waiting for people to seek out them. I have also been breaking down stereotypes about them, their bible says the same thing as mine, so they believe in Jesus as the Son of God, the Messiah, and all that. However, in the book they gave me about what the bible teaches, I noticed something... they do not believe in the Trinity.One of them has referred to her bible as her sword. While it is not my intention to convert anyone ever, as a Christian, it is my duty to correct misconceptions. Since God is telling my heart that their book is wrong, I have turned to the bible.I started studying the bible because of people who cling...

Touche God... Touche

We all struggle with God at some point in our lives, even Jacob, an important character was renamed Israel He who wrestles with God. I have been one such person as well. I have fears just as much as the next person. My recent fear has been not working. I have been blessed that my parents have allowed me to stay at their house even though I am 21. But I hadnt been working since a cooking blowup last August, and finding a job is no easy feat.I begged with God, I pleaded. I told him I understood things get done on his time, not mine, but I begged him to try to accomodate my time as well. But every time I turned in a resume, I was being told that the company I had applied for had just hired several people... but they will keep my resume on file.Pleading,...

The Truth Definately Hurts

If anyone has read my previous blog, they know that I am having trouble staying faithful to my promises to pray always and read. Last night I read in my devotional book a hurtful quote, that made me look at my enthusiasm to serve in a different way.Most of us serve Jesus to be saved, to have a place in heaven, to be in a relationship, everything. Even Peter says to Jesus, see we have left all and followed you (Mark 10:28) My book goes on to explain that It was not for the purpose of what the disciples THEMSELVES would get out of it. Saying Im going to give myself to God because I want to be delivered from sin and made holy. is an example of serving for OUR benefit. My book explains that Being delivered from sin and being made holy is a result of being right...

Trying Not To Fall Away

Its a weird thing... I am in some sort of crush or whatever silly word people have for liking someone, I even think I may love the guy, with what small amount of time I spend with him... I even have lustfull thoughts. I pray every night, but I have told God I wont mock him by asking for forgiveness for something I feel no remorse over, for something I want to continue to do. And when I get done talking to him, Im so tired I almost dont want to pray, and have been skipping my bible readings so I can pray. The other day, I was praying, more talking than praying. I told him I wasnt sure where I stood, and I was losing enthusiasm for the faith I had been preaching for such a short time. I told him I was afraid to end up being the...

Somebodys Knocking At Your Door

One of the best parts of being involved with music is that its a great way to worship. The song Somebodys Knocking at Your Door addresses Gods people, Oh sinner, why dont you answer? Somebodys knocking at your door. Its lighthearted, with a profound message. Another great thing about music is that I can use it to sleep. After my prayers, I generally take a song from church that is ostinato (always repeating) and play it through my head over and over again, a simple prayer relaxing me. Last night, somebody knocked on my door when I wanted to sleep. But not in a way I expected. Before I laid my head down, I had prayed for more faith, like my morning reflection says to. I prayed for a clean heart, and able to see the world through as much of Gods eyes as he thought I could handle as...

When You Think You Are Close... And You Arent

So I have been proud of the fact that I have been sleeping through the night thanks to prayer... Im still praying, but Im not sleeping through the night anymore.Perhaps the reason is even though I pray, Im distracted by other stressors in life.How do you devote your whole mind to God when your world is closing in around you? Ive prayed for help, but I dont feel like its helping. And I cant seem to focus my mind on anything other than what is stressing me out.My mother has been telling me how to do things my whole life, and Ive been recently realizing that she wont do it herself. Go to church even when you arent scheduled to sing, do some cleaning, stop filling every flat space with your stuff!I feel like I should be telling my mother the same thing, except shell turn it back on me...

Angels And How You Know Them

Its the weirdest thing... there was a man who had only been in my life for probably no more than ten minutes, and he has stuck with me years later, because I believe I saw an angel.I dont remember his face at all. He was a customer that came to the jewelry counter where I worked, and asked for a new watch battery and band. I generally like talking to customers, so I chat them up while I change their watch equipment. He had asked me about my medal I was wearing, at the time it was a St. Judes medal. I generally dont show my depression at work, I was paid to be a smiling face, but he asked me why do you think that you are a hopeless cause? I dont remember an exact response, but he had responded about finding faith. No one in the world could...

Technology+communication=miracles

Its amazing when I talk to people who are getting a little older and they say yeah, I have to get a hearing aide one of these days. But they have a million excuses why they dont want to. Whats amazing, is I cannot imagine turning down something so miraculous, seeing that people who dont hear well miss out on so many of Gods miracles that they dont even remember from when they DID hear.I know I like to relate my life to teaching experiences, but if you cant relate to what you say, why even bother talking? Hearing aides are not normally a topic among people my age, but I am 21 years old, and Ive been wearing a hearing aide in both ears since I was 5.The most common thing I hear when talking to people about their insecurities dealing with hearing aides is Well youve been wearing...
