First the Kingdom

2009-04-11T18:47:00.000-07:00

Matthew 6:33 says
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

I went to HYC this week and heard an awesome message but my blogs not about the message, its about what you see when dissect the verse on which the message is based. Just think you can have your deepest desires, anything you want, I mean were talking God here Anything you want. The question is what do you want, that new car, that dream house on the beach, or that once in a life time girl you want to marry. All you have to do is put God first in everything.. When it comes down to it though if you really seek God and have faith you will get all these things but they wont be the deepest desires anymore God will. If you truly seek him hes all you will care about pleasing. This is what has happened to me I have wanted and wanted but that was more just a gimme gimme gimme. I will pray to you forever God just give me what I want, I am now truly getting what I want a true relationship with God. I have prayed for so many things and can't believe that it took me so long to realize that when you seek first the kingdom You will get your wants but your deepest desire will be to Worship the creator and give him your all because he is better than anything you could ever imagine.

Just One More

2009-04-01T19:23:00.000-07:00

I came up with this blog a while back when stand had started a guys youth prayer meeting with Bro.Jason. This kind of just hit me and at the time I wasn't very sure if it was from God but I kind of think it is now I'm, and the reason I say kind of is because I am still trying to develop my spiritual ear. Knowing that I'm called to something in the ministry has put it on my heart to want to share this with everyone.

I know everyone has heard of the famous oil monopoly owning billionaire John D. Rockefeller he has a famous quote that just wont leave my mind. In an interview Mr. Rockefeller was asked how many more dollars until your satisfied. He then answered, "Just one more dollar". The reason I couldn't get this quote out of my head because, it was like a little voice in the very back trying to tell me something. It was saying why do you ask for hundreds when you get that many will you stop and be satisfied. So I started thinking like Mr.Rockefeller "just one more". I think that if we can think like that we will never stop trying to win just one more soul. People stop saying you want just a hundred because when you hit your goal your going to stop. I want to challenge everyone who reads this to start thinking on this. Lets go for just one more soul, then when we get that one w can say just one more, and as the years go on if we can think like this, instead of a hundred we can win thousands.

To Take A Road

2008-09-21T17:55:00.000-07:00

To take a road in your life it is a tough decision

It is hard to see with mortal vision

For one road you may take is forsaken but on the other many steps have been taken

Two you can see one of which you may choose

But these roads in life are called win or lose

Lose the road forsaken or win by which many steps are taken.

To Hear My Name

2008-09-10T20:22:00.000-07:00

To hear you call

to feel you near

to know your there

and that your everywhere

to feel your warmth

to hear your voice

to hear my name

called with no shame

to know that you look at me just the same

that no one has better fame

just to know youll call my name

read it from that book of life

where I know there is no strife

oh the joy to know

i'll hear my name in that book of life.

My New job...

2008-09-05T17:27:00.000-07:00

I got a new job at Chik-Fil-A I am very excited to be making money on my own now. That is until the bills come in and then I go run to Auntie Carrie and ask for her money. So that I don't have to spend my money on bills. Of course, we all know she'll just tell me to quit whining and pay my own bills. Anyways, I am really enthused about getting a new job. It's fun, the people are nice, and not to mention half off all the food... yeah its pretty great I bet you wish you had my job now.
