The War for Your Soul

Wow, just amazing how warfare can manifest itself into daily decisions. I am glad that I made a decision for myself today. I made the decision to stay. No one made it for me, including my emotions. But it's quite funny because when I wanted to go home, the people at home told me I can come home. All of a sudden I didn't want to. When the people at Baylor, THANK YOU BLAKE BURELSON, said I can withdraw, I suddenly wanted to. Just weird.

This is crazy. Life is crazy. Struggles are joyful. God is great.

losing my life daily

Then die today to all your own ways and means of saving yourself and commit the keeping of your life wholly to God’s care. He’s your good, loving Shepherd—and he is faithful to see you through all!

Fix your eyes on Jesus. He alone is our hope//from: GET INTO THE ARK

Abidence=Obedience

If we want to abide in Jesus, we must obey him. We can't have one without the other. We can't gain life if we stay where we are at, whether it be in our sin or in our mindsets of disbelief. Trusting in him means nothing is impossible for Him to accomplish what he has promised you. Better said than done. Also, we can't do  anything without abiding or obeying in Him.

a poem my 7 year old sister wrote to my dad

When I love you, you are gone. You are a lovable man. I love you when you are gone. 

insecurity lies where complacency hides

Inside my mind, I hear many cries.

One cry for justice.

One cry for the future.

One cry for my dad.

But, inside my soul I hear one cry.

For his presence. God's perfect love to...

ENWRAP, ENGULF, ENGAGE

Behold the Man

John 19 ⁷ The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”

The Bible is truly the greatest story ever written; it's great with English majors. So, here you can see that according to the Jewish law men had to die for blasphemy of God. We're under a new law; love. So if you want to claim yourself as a Son of God, as a daughter of the King, as a royal priesthood, as a holy nation, as a Christian.... you must die. Yes, die. But not physically, spiritually. Die to yourself and live under the new law, not the Jewish law. 

We have a new law. Because we claim to be Christians, according to the spirit, we must die to ourselves. This means we follow the spirit to grow in love. (2 Cor 5:17)

taste and see that the Lord is good

هو البابا للغير معروف.

My God will carry me just as a father carries His child. Even though this is a the end of a chapter in my life, it's the beginning of a new chapter. I'm excited to see what the Lord has planned for my family. Let us draw near to the Lord, not ask why the Lord did this to me..... took my dad away from me.WE WILL OVERCOME... let this be a testimony to everyone about jesus..

Indecency...Speak to Me!

If I say to God, this is indecency... you have to speak to me....you have to tell me something fresh, new. I go back to his promises that never fail; I look up to the hills, where does my help come from it comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth. So, my spring break was pretty terrible. The thing about it is: I didn't do much, but procrastinate. The Lord said it's wise to count your days. I feel so convicted lately of just everything. But, I know God loves me too much to keep me broken. All I know, is that I need to keep pressing on, and not to quit on him. I always wondered if I was to fall away from the Lord, what would happen to me? I don't really want to think about that, because I never want to fall away from the Lord. He's just been way to good to me. I've been trying to become an atmosphere changer, but realized to be an atmosphere changer, I must be changed. I am. I know, because I don't like the same things I used to.

It's been a really tough college career. I'm not sure if this will ever end. As I look up at the blog I wrote, it's a bunch of I's...then I realize again, that it's not about me. It's not about him speaking to me, cause he already has spoken. Now, it's time for me to speak to other people, and share life with them...life and life abundantly. Now, that is decency.

Do you have the decency to share Christ with someone today?
