HOW OFTEN DO YOU?

How often do you say you're a Christian? How often do you turn to God through problems? How often do you give up to God your finances? How often do you give your problems to him (sex, drugs, smoking, pornography, etc) How often do you give your attitude to him (temper, pride, jealous, selfish, etc) How often do you pray? How often do you praise Him? How often do you thank Him? How often do you read the bible? How often do you honor? How often do you love your enemies? How often do you love? How often do you share your experiences of God with others? How often do you show that you're a follower to Jesus? How often do you? I'm not a saint, I probably say I do those not too often at all. It sucks to say it, but you need to recognize it first, you need to confess, you need to repent, you need forgiveness from HIM.

Love Fights Fair

From the moment you unpack for your honeymoon, the real process of unpacking one another, unpleasantly discovering how sinful and self each of you could be. Pretty soon your mate started to slip off your pedestal, and you off of theirs. The forced closeness of marriage began stripping away your public facades, exposing your private problems and secret habits. Welcome to fallen humanity. Love reminds you that your relationship is too valuable to allow it to self-destruct and that your life for your spouse is more important than whatever you're fighting about. "ME" Boundaries are rules you personally practice on your own. 1. I will listen first before speaking. "everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger" James 1:19 2. I will deal with my own issues up-front "why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye" (Matthew 7:3) 3. I will speak gently and keep my voice down. ...

One day at a time.

If twitter was unlimited, just for today, this is what it would say: I'm 21, and hate my job of 3 years. 2009 and this current year is teaching me patience, guess what, I failed again today. Took me til day 4 with this job that I hate it again. I know I'm upset when I want to complain and make excuses. I hate people that complain, I hate people that make excuses. But now I want to. Wednesday: I worked late, but had to prepare for my presentation and for school. So, instead stayed up late to work on everything. Thursday: School, then work right after, and ditched CLASS to stay at work. Friday: Worked late again, and didn't make it to my friend's going away party, I was way too tired (which was why I couldn't go to the Book Club Meeting, thank goodness they changed that til next week, they must love me) Saturday: Worked late again, can't take a nap, canceled going to the bridal expo with Thuy, can't plan my lesson for high school ministry (sorry guys, I've...

Catching up with you

It's been too long, I've kept more of a private journal, because lately my life has been more secret, more hiding.. I haven't really told anyone about anything, when people ask how I am? I like to avoid the question and turn it so that the people just talk about themselves and I'll just listen. Sometimes lately though I won't even listen anymore, it's just like I don't care about my life, nor do I care about the life of others. I want to.. But right now, my life and my priorities are the most important, I can say that since the new year started, I've complete lost who I am, what I'm all about. It's part of growing up. I'm entering into my 2nd to last year of school, and this is when you're suppose to step it up a notch but I'm slowing down. This is the year were there are just too many close deaths to count and I'm emotional not stable anymore. It's the time were this recession is hitting home, and hitting home hard. It's ...

Light up your face with gladness, Hide every trace of sadness, Although a tear may be ever so near, That's the time you must keep on trying, Smile- What's the use of crying, You'll find that life is still worthwhile, If you just smile.

Bottled

Emotions get pushed back inside The frustrations, the anger The rudeness, the irritation The hurt, the mistakes, the wrong are all to hide Pushed to a place unknown As the phone hangs up The emotions take over her body Coming out through tears The tears, fall down so slowly down her face They fall onto the pillow case They just dry in place Every night, many nights The tears of emotion destroy the frustration The tears of emotion rids the irritation The tears of emotion rids the negativity of the day The tears of emotion wipes the slate clean To start... To start a new day, free of emotions.
