OOOOOOH

I have three followers :)

I just saw that :P

anyway
It's been a crazy week. Dealing with friends who have lost loved ones, relationships, schooling, and all of the normal weekly things I deal with. I can honestly say I'm a little bit exhausted, but it doesn't feel like a bad exhausted. I feel like this week was a week well spent. I spent more time in the word than I have in a while lately, so yes the whole giving up video games after 6:30 pays off; I've been able to be there for people in a time of need while shining Christ into their lives, and I got a new song done :). So yeah it's been a good week so far.

Don't get me wrong I do have my worries. I just haven't let them affect me and all the people around me.
OH ALSO GOODNIGHT SATURDAY HAS BEEN ASKED TO PLAY AGAIN

if you didn't know Goodnight Saturday(GNS) is a band consisting of My Buddies and I
and we ROCK FOR JESUS!
it's true. . . I'm not kidding.

:)

Well um lately I've been reading Jeremiah, as most of you who know me or have been keeping up with my blog know, and it's been intense. I mean super intense. One thing did kind of make me laugh though . . . God told Jeremiah to go buy some underwear and wear it for a while, then bury it. Jeremiah did this, yet I can't help but wonder if he was like "Um God are you serious right now? You want me to do that?" You know because when God gives us something easy to do it's just so hard to believe that it's God speaking to us. Later God tells Jeremiah to go dig up the underwear, and I can't help but think to myself "What is God up to?" Well when Jeremiah dug it up he realized it was useless underwear. God did something epic here.

Check it!

Jeremiah 13:⁸ Then the word of the LORD came to me: ⁹ “This is what the LORD says: Just like this I will ruin the great pride of both Judah and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ These evil people, who refuse to listen to Me, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who have followed other gods to serve and worship—they will be like this underwear, of no use at all. ¹¹ Just as underwear clings to one’s waist, so I fastened the whole house of Israel and of Judah to Me”—this is the LORD’s declaration—“so that they might be My people for My fame, praise, and glory, but they would not obey.


Now take out the words house of Israel and Judah and lets put our names there.
When we give Lordship of our lives over to Christ He fastens us to Himself
He says "Follow me" "Cling to me" and we must do that!
If we don't we simply fall into ruin, because lets face it Jesus is going to lead us through valleys, up mountains, and back down mountains. Neither of which we can truly make it through without Him. When we fall from His side He is always there to pick us back up, but if in our disobedience and pride we don't reach out for His help then we fall into ruin. Sometimes slowly, and sometimes quickly, but always surely. WE FALL INTO RUIN. 


just like those old nasty underwear


this world will simply take us down dead end streets
and throw everything at me that it can
apart from Christ I'm nothing
I'm just very fragile man sitting in quicksand
. . . 
helpless


And now an A selection by the Choir :)
