When will I come back to the light?

This is kinda depressing, but I'll go on with it, lately I have not been feeling so Christian, I mean don't get me wrong, I always know who my King and Savior is, Jesus Christ, and its not the fact that I deny him as God or any of that...I mean I love Jesus, like I've said before, Disciple in Christ right here....However, lately I've been committing a handful of sins, and restepping into some of my old habits, and I'm very disappointed in myself, I wake up sometimes feeling guilty, distressed, and most importantly, I wake up with the feeling that God is upset with me. I feel like I disobey him too often, and I only wish to be pure, but being 17, going on 18 soon enough, I just want to live like a teenager, and have fun with my friends. I wish there was someway to rid of these desires, but partying is one of my weak sins, it always has been. I need a serious prayer to whoever reads this blog. I'm worried that my faith will eventually slip altogether, if I can't keep myself in check. I still find it very interesting to read my theology, and study the word, for some reason that has not changed, its just my lifestyle that seems to be going back to the way it was prior....

Sometimes I look at the sky, and think to myself, Am I saved? Then I always get that same gut feeling, "Yes" - Which is most likely being delivered from my Amazing Jesus. Because Jesus knows I still believe in Him, I just don't....well, I don't act too Holy, and what bothers me the most is that I feel like a hypocrite at times when I try to teach others about the Gospel. There have been plenty of days where I've spent just consumed in God. Ask anyone. But since summer vacation started, and I'm out of school now, there is no more book time, only "chilling" time, and I need somekind of sign from God, that EVERYTHING will be fixed in due time, and I need to know that He still has me on the list to Heaven someday. I'm afraid of what He will say to me on Judgement day, I'm just glad He looks into my heart, and sees the struggle I'm having with all this, and since I am having this struggle, I'm assuming thats a good thing, because clearly He knows I suffer with all this.

Lastly, I know many Christians will tell me, Well you need to take a leap of Faith, and Change your lifestyle. Heres the big problem that I think is really driving me crazy, As much as I really want to change into a better person, I also enjoy some of the sins I do, and I'm freaking out that I'm still in some ways, a slave to sin. I'm not saying, I approve of them, I just find them apart of me at times, and it all slips out eventually. But Thanks be to God, that we don't earn our way into heaven by the deeds we do, but by the Grace he has provided us. And I just got to keep the faith, just like Timothy has said before. I pray and repent that all of this passes over soon. Keep praying everyone. Keep praying.

*sigh*

Prayers please. Enough said.

April showers, Bring May flowers?

(The picture to the right, to me, represents God is breaking through)

So this corny statement came into my head just now, and I know I haven't wrote a blog since early March, and there is plenty of reasons as to why not. The point of the title of this blog is because it is almost an analogy of the many struggles that I have been dealing with lately, and so I think of these "showers" as maybe the sufferings at the present moment, and then hopefully by next Month (May) the flowers will represent things renewing again, and just getting better for everyone, including myself.


But don't get me wrong, I do think the "Showers" are necessary, considering God allows them to happen for reason. So I look at these showers as Gods way of saying, I'm working on you. Lol - I know, you might be thinking, "Let me get this straight...Your struggling, and you think God is working on you?!" - As a matter of fact, Yes, I do, because I believe that the source of our pleasure is the cause of our suffering, and its as simple as that. I could elaborate on the Gods purpose for our sufferings but that pretty much sums it up.

Well these showers consist of, my good friend Christina, she is struggling with so much right now, financially, mentally, and even physically I believe. Everything is crashing down for her right now, and since her phone has been dead, its been hard for her because she has no peers she can socialize with, and her lack of church is upsetting her. Then there is my friend Lexi, she is just in constant spiritual attack, with everything, and we have been in constant argument, and its been causing me to stress out. Same goes for Amber, except we aren't arguing, however, we haven't been talking much, probably because of my school crap that pretty much occupies the week for me, and it drives me crazy. I don't like how school takes over my social life, my biblical life, and just...everything for real. I've also been laid off from my Job, and I honestly miss my best friends, Amber and Christina, and I'm becoming very irritable, and my lack of prayer sometimes bothers me, I mean I pray, just not as much as I feel like I should.

So what I'm hoping the flowers will consist of is Christina gets everything straightened out, and becomes satisfied with every aspect in her life. Lexi builds up her armor of light, and comes to some realization. Amber and I start socializing every night. So Pray that this all follows through, but I'm sure after my prayers, God is definitley in the process of allowing this to come through, because He will never let me down.

"I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Nothing is too difficult for me" (Jeremiah 32:27).

Sick with the Flu.

So I've been really ill for the last week with the Flu, which is why I've came off to be unknown and non talkative to any of my friends, so I apologize. Let me start by explaining this whole "influenza" crap, Ok so on Sunday night, my throat was really scratchy and was hurting, and I thought that it was just a cold coming on, so I was just like whatever, then I started getting chills at around 8:30 that night, and I was not sure why, and I ended up falling asleep early.

Then on monday, my throat was even worse, it was killing me, and my whole body just felt weak, well I did go to school for my first 2 classes, then I just couldn't take it, and went to the healthroom, and went home early. Then on monday night, the Fever came. That was when things started to take a even more serious course, my throat was soar WITH a fever, and I was very weak, I also did not get any sleep that night.

Then rolls by Tuesday....This was by far the WORSE day I think, this was the "everything" day, I was consistently coughing, a High fever, runny nose, very dizzy and weak, a headache, sneezing, and my throat was still irritated..I felt like so much crap this day, and I don't know how much medicine I was on.

Then on Wednesday, I went to the doctor, while I was there, I had a 103.4 fever, so obviously something serious was in me, and the nurse gave me like 3 advil..As I started to break out in a sweat, I began feeling clammy and tired, and the doctor just told me to get some rest, take a lot of Tylenol and cough syrup lol, so thats what I did, my fever started going away temporarily on the Tylenol, and everytime I missed a dose, it rose again, so it still wasn't gone yet, although I did feel a little better later that evening, and with medicine, I was "ok" to get my makeup work on Thursday, so I did...and it was lame of course, because I was still moderatley sick, and very congested..but I dealt with it, and that night a small fever came on again, probably from pushing myself to go to school...Anyways today is Friday, and I still feel congested although the fever might have finally broke for good...which I hope.

*The Doctor said It would probably take until Sunday for the whole virus to be out of me*

P.S. YOU DON'T WANT THE FLU! lol

Don't doubt, no doubt.

I have not written a blog in a good while now, and I've just been so busy with school, friends, my Theology studies/readings, and so I've just been a bit overwhelmed by all of this. On top of this, I have been involved in so many different arguments, and having to provide answers for where I stand, when all I want to do is praise Jesus, and learn of His ways as best as I can.

However, I pray for Amber, my Dad, my Grandparents, and just anyone in a spiritual conflict, and doubts that God exists, because I am 100 percent sure He does. I don't understand some people apparently, I mean how can you be so ignorant and say, "I've never seen Him, why should I worship him?" I mean have you seen a million dollars?? I know I know, basic argument, but its true...You know it EXISTS! Otherwise you would just clearly sound foolish.

Not to mention, that I have just been in constant debate, and other "called" Christians have said that I obsess over God, which I believe to be impossible when you are reading scripture during your free time! These Christians also Believe in the Pro-Choice ways, and claims that when you lust you are only lusting, NOT committing adultery which is so against the word of Christ! I was just in blank awe when I had to even debate these matters, it should come with the Christian faith...Honestly...I don't mean to come off so judgmental, however, the word did say that we can judge fairly(Leviticus 19:15) and I mean I feel like I am. So I pray for them.

Well, anyways, I started taking Class 101 at Pasadena Assembly of God, and it is pretty legit, I love taking classes of the Lord, I don't even care what, just being involved is awesome. I've also been filling out papers to go on a Mission Trip this Summer, to help build homes for the homeless, and to worship like mad, and pray consistently, and just increase the faith, and I will be going with my friend, Lexi, so it should be cool. I look forward to such an adventure. lol I've heard Mission Trips are amazing. So pray that this trip coming up goes well.

Thanks for listening.
+ God Bless +

My grandmom needs help - Lol

Although, this is going to come off very funny, it is kinda serious to an extent. Here it goes: Well tonight while I was out at my grandparents place, I was doing my homework, and as usual, my grandmom was drinking scotch. However, after one or two drinks of scotch, My grandfather comes up to me and says, "You know, we could put tea in that cup and she wouldn't even tell the difference (kinda smirking and being sarcastic)" .. So then I say, "You know what, Lets do it, it will be funny" Of course he begins to prepare the drink, and so he switches the tea with scotch, thinking literally that when she comes back for her drink (Because she had gone to the bathroom during this time) she will spit it out, saying "Wheres my drink?!"

Then the funniest part happened - When she came back in the kitchen, she found her old scotch glass, and my grandfather, had made up the most ridiculous story saying, "Oh yeah, I was preparing you another drink, but I messed up and put vodka in it" So then she drinks it, and says, "Yuck!" and dumps it out! when it was her original drink in the first place, I started laughing like mad when she did that. Then when she goes to take a sip of the "Tea" thinking it is the real drink, she had no comment, and thought it was her scotch!! It was hilarious, and of course my grandfather and I played along, and would do these anonymous toasts, and everytime she took a sip (thinking it was scotch) it was really Tea! It was a good laugh for awhile. Another funny thing is she would consistently say to my grandfather, "I can't believe you messed up my prepared drink by putting vodka in it" or just anything crude about him spilling vodka - when we didn't even touch the vodka!!

Moral of the Story: DON'T DRINK - It obviously dilates your sense of taste, and mind. Besides theres a reason Jesus never touched the stuff, and why God constantly through out the old testament would state its wrongs.

Thought you would enjoy this...

Need some Prayers!

Right now I'm going through a huge battle between an old friend of mine, and I need strength to help me to move on, I've mentioned this issue in a previous blog in greater detail, but It is a lot harder than it may seem, so I really just need God, and Strength that all this gets worked out accordingly.

I also want to ask that you Pray for my best friend Amber, she needs guidance, and love, and answers. I want her to know what the "right" thing to do is being in the specific situation she is in, and I want all to work out for her in the end successfully.

Please pray for my friend Christina, she is at a Theological confusion, and whatever question she needs answered, please ask God to help answer that question for her, she really needs that to be revealed to her. Also pray that she gets provided, and that she gets blessed with some way to get back out to Maryland so she can find a job out here, and move on from TN.

Lastly, pray for my friend Lexi, she is in a state of indecisions, and unanswered questions as well, and she needs Love and Support, and she needs Jesus (as do we all) and I want her to have her sins and guilt washed away frpm her with the blood of Christ, so she feels better of herself, and becomes dead to sin. I really want things to also work out for us, and so we become a couple, and become into a relationship some day.

Thank you Everyone for listening to these Prayer Requests, if there are any prayers you want me to pray about, let me know, I'd be glad to pray for you.

Amen!

Family over God? I think Not.

This isn't going to be a long blog, however, I feel the need to comment on something I came to notice today while being at Church.

There was a baby dedication ceremony going on, and don't get me wrong it was really nice, and I enjoyed it. Although, the Church seemed very full, and compacted, and I know most of those people were there supporting the family of those Babies. Now here is my issue: Why is it that people seem to go to support their loved ones special days, but do not support their most important Love one of all, God???

I think that is a bit twisted, I would always, and forever, put God ahead of any family event, no matter of the importance, I personally think God is much more important, and it just makes me upset that people obviously do not choose to go to church on a daily basis. Now I could be wrong, and those people could attend another Church elsewhere, but I have this feeling that they don't. And if they don't, well then shame on you for not supporting God, the Almighty, the one that actually saved you through the cross, and you are probably too busy sleeping in, then worshipping.

I apologize for this blog being a bit harsh, but I just think its almost self-centered, that people don't worship their Creator.

Feel free to comment on what you think...

25. Lastly, I have this problem with people coming over my house, I'm not sure why, but I always either end up going over that friends house, or we just go out somewhere. Its strange. hard to explain.

Just pondering..

yeah, so I've just been thinking about having a family of my own one day, and yes, I know, I know, I'm only gonna be 17, however, I've just been thinking about who I am going to marry, and what my kids will look like, and trust me, I'm definitley leaving it All up to God.

I mean I know everyone goes into a thought cycle of whom, when, and where they will marry, and have kids. I'm sure of it.

I mean in the Bible, it just seems to be such a sacred and awesome thing to have a wife to love and cherish, and kids to raise to worship the Lord.
Genesis 1:26-28 - "Man was created by God. God, as our Creator, has power to make the rules that govern us. God created both male and female and gave them the responsibility to reproduce and populate the earth."

Well, I don't mean to really express all out here, I just want that "Life" ya know? I mean I want to be able to come home from work, with dinner prepared by my wife, kids done their homework, the table set, discussion of the Lord at dinner time, a little Bible study after dinner, then T.V time(nothing inappropriate, of course lol), and just whatever, just chillin in my Home. The true definition of Home too...:/

I also want to get to college, and get a Masters in some form of Business, then once I've gotten that all taken care of, by time I'm like 26 or 27, (10 years from now)...Hopefully, I will be married, and doing pretty well, financially, and then I will apply for a MASTERS IN THEOLOGY - which I think would be legit, I mean think about that, I would get to study the ways of the Lord, and be able to contemplate why our God, is THEE God. I mean I'll probably do an online graduate course for that degree, like in the Evening, after work, but honestly, by time I apply to earn that degree, I will have been a disciple in Christ for a decade! I'll be ready for classes like that, especially at the rate I'm going. No doubt.

"So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
Thats just my little motivator that I can do anything with the Lord by my side.

I have much more to say to you

The title to this blog, would be the title to my novel I am going to start soon, I still need to set up a better layout, and organize the chapters so I know what I will be discussing, but I can already see how I am going to end it. Anyways, I have been contemplating all these different subject matters, mainly focusing on Bible topics, and I'm completely absorbed in Jesus, our Savior right now. Its an amazing feeling if you go down that road. I've also seemed to notice that not many people seem to dedicate their life to Christ, and try to even be Christ-like, or even acknowledge him altogether, which I find to be really disturbing.

I've been reading, I don't have enough faith to be an Athiest, and clearly there is God, and yes, if you look at Evidence to our existence you will come to find that our God is the correct God. So I'm starting to become baffled at the idea that people don't want to surrender their life to God. I've been observing people at my school, and I've been observing people at the mall, and in restaurants, and I just can NOT believe what I hear, see, and witness with my own two eyes. And trust me, I'm not trying to judge at all, or come to conclusions that everyone sucks, but I just feel that we are so unworthy, and its almost that if God hadn't of promised to not flood us over like he had in the Old Testament, then He would have done it again for sure, I mean to be so disobedient and hateful, anything but his commandments, is beyond me. I know that we are all sinners, and I accept that completely. Its just I don't see any effort in trying to fix ourselves to a degree, but by continuing and not admitting Jesus Christ as your Savior, just shocks me.

I've also noticed that people think learning about God, is boring as well. The other day I was reading, I don't have enough faith to be an Athiest, and a kid I know, says, "What are you reading" so I told him, and then he replies in sarcasm, "Why are you reading that?! That is so boring, you should read something more fun" And of course I replied, "This IS fun to me", and it really is, however, I just can't believe that someone would even consider learning about our Creator, "BORING" I mean what the french toast.

Sorry, but this stuff has just been on my mind, and being a Christian, it just makes me sad that people would post and say things that disrepect God, and pretend he is all a lie.....

The Decision for God.

Well. As I said to Christina, I'm thinking about moving on with a friend that I've been best friends with for 14 years. But the truth of the matter is, we are going seperate ways, I'm trying to focus onto the Lord, and well, hes focusing on other "influences" in Cape. And as important as he is, and as much as we've been through, God and I have been through more. I'm trying to study my Theology, and pray more, and get more acquainted with God, especially when I have those days I really need it.

Not to mention, lately, there has just been consistent arguing, and hes just been losing his temper at me way too much to be considered good friends. So I'm not really trying to go down that path of anger again. I'm also feeling that God might be trying to speak to me and say, Enough.

The Bible says it all:
Prov. 22:24 & 25, "Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go, Lest you learn his ways And set a snare for your soul."

1Cor. 15:33, "Do not be deceived: Evil company corrupts good habits."

Prov. 13:20"He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed."

That says it all....

I don't know right now..

I'm not sure what to think about anymore, I feel so befuddled of thoughts, and just rants throughout my brain, and I'm just not sure of "what" emotion I should be feeling right now. Between depression and all the meds, and just the stress from school alone, I've had enough of it. I need some Jesus right now, and I think there are some other concerns such as my friends mother has cervical cancer and shes a really nice person, so I hope things really get better for her, and when I heard her speak today, she just didn't sound so positive about where things are going with this, because she thought it was cured. So I'm just a bit worried about that...And then of course my best friend Christina, whom I know will read this and go, "Mmhmm", is stuck in Tennessee, on lock down within her household which sucks big time, and she just feels as though her car is broken down on the highway with no spare tire...

Anyone reading this, I just really need some prayers, and not to mention my own personal crap thats going on doesn't help the situation, and just...I don't know. I'm really trying to fulfill my duty to God, it just gets so difficult sometimes to feel motivated when school work blocks that "level" of enthusiasm.
I want to just live somewhere peaceful, focus on the Lord, and live a nice life....

I also want to mention that right now I'm feeling as though I'm stupid, for example, Why is it I do so poorly on my tests in school? I study. I read. I listen in class. I mean am I an idiot? or what? it frustrates me like mad. People who fart around in class get A's when I'm someone working my butt off for the B? I mean um correct me if I'm wrong but does something seem screwed up here? Then there is of course this whole change of Schools, that was a huge mistake, and I can't do anything about it - but cope with it. Good thing I've learned to master with coping from the past...or I'd be throwing in the flag right about now. These kids annoy me, and makes me want to hit one of them in the face, and its a very "cultural" school, and there is just no chance of "friend-making" for me. Not to mention that my trust levels aren't exactly easy to get. So pray that this school year goes by quickly for me...2nd Semester here I come....oh joy. :/

Loves me some Jesus

yeah, so I went to the Pasadena Assembly of God Church this morning, and it was actually pretty awesome, everyone was very nice, and considerate, and I don't know how many times I was greeted, I really noticed a great fellowship there. Todays message was talking about Prayer, which I thought was legit, and the songs they played at the start of the service were very good. I felt a bit of the Holy Spirit I'd say, and I even thought about my 2 best friends, Amber and Christina while being there, which made me a bit sad. But when I thought about how I am nothing without God, then I remembered that as long as I have Him in my life, I will get through any depressions of missing some of my best friends. :/ If you are curious about attending a new church, or going to church for the first time, or just wanna be saved and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, I would recommend getting involved here, its a decent and nice Church. Here is the site for all information:

Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.

So I've came to this conclusion that school really does take out too much of my life, and I would like to spend all day after school working on Theology studies, but no, I can't, I have studying to do, and essays to write, and study guides to complete, and text book problems to solve...So if you can't tell, I'm kinda stressed out, and apparently according to my AP Psychology text book, Stress can kill you..So somehow, I'm thinking I need to surpass this school work, and start praying more, so this stress decreases. I feel soar, tired, and like my weeks have nothing else in them, but more WORK. And its not even the fact that I can't do this work, its just very time consuming of my relationship with God, if you understand what I mean, all you Christian FaithFreaks out there. lol Anyway...

I felt like I needed another Blog, thought I'd talk about whats recently on my mind..

Got Calvinism?

Well, my good friend, Christina, enlightened me up on the debate of Calvinism, and honestly the beliefs aren't really that strange as some like to proclaim it to be. I'm surprised this theory isn't expressed more. So far I've looked in on the doctrine of Total Depravity, and I agree with about 99 percent of what is being preached. If you read certain scriptures out of the Bible, you will see where I am coming from with my support of this doctrine, that is if you are one to disagree with me. One Bible scripture that I like that shows the support of this doctrine is,

Romans 3:10-11: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God."

I think that scripture pretty much explains the reason as to why God must predestine individuals into salvation since evidently man is incapable of choosing God. It all makes sense to me. If you just completely don't see where I am coming from, please ask me, I'll have no problem explaining my view on the matter even more in depth. Well I basically just wanted to state to every body that I have take upon an interest in the study of Calvinism and I will be purchasing my first novel soon on Calvinism to help me even understand better since this is new for me.

Went to the DIA

Today I visited the Detroit Institute of Art, I've been there several times, and its pretty awesome. Some of the "considered" works of art should not be there. I saw canvas with just red paint...That is not art to me, I also saw stones laying on the ground, once again...not Art..However, as many paintings that sucked, there were also some really interesting ones as well. Most of the Vincent Van Gogh, and Pablo Picasso stuff was pretty sweet, and there was a special exhibit on Monet and Dali which was alright. My favorite section of the Institute was the Christian Devotion section, it was full of sculptures of Jesus on the Cross, and Jesus with family, like Mary. There was images of baby Jesus which was cool. They also gave a brief description of how Christianity impacted much of the society back then, and how important it was to some of the people which was cool. Although there was also some Catholic related material art that I didn't so much agree with. There was also a painting of the image of the resurrected Christ, that was a unique picture because there was very small cuts on Jesus, and he didn't look as happy as I had imagined him, but that painting doesn't necessarily mean that is the truth, it was only one person's idea. I'm kinda curious if any of the artists might have been pastors...Most likely they were apart of the Church or Ministry, considering a lot of faith in God must have been there in order to depict Jesus in the ways they had done. I felt that the Christian art had really pointed out certain scriptures in the Bible, and I thought that was a cool way of expressing certain messages across to people that might not understand the text itself.

The Truth about Chick-Fil-A...It needs to be said

Ok - I'm pretty much fed up with chick-fil-a chicken, its gay. If you like it, you really shouldn't. The way its made is disgusting, they don't wash their hands when preparing the chicken, they don't use fresh chicken - its all stored in a container, the flour is not even white, they use dirty water to wash the dishes, they don't even clean the store or gutters properly. They pick up sauces off the floor and throw them back in the bin, I've even found lids in the ice bin that have probably been there for months - and trust me people's hands touch those lids, I've also seen bites out of the chicken -that makes me wonder, who ate that chicken? *cough* the cooks... - So to start off the place is pretty much Unsanitary to begin with.

Next I want to say that the employees are ignorant, mainly the managers, they think they own the restaurant, when its the basic employees who do all the work at the registers. If you haven't noticed yet...They barely give you any bathroom breaks, or even drink breaks, yet the managers are free to do whatever they like, and THEY get all the respect because they have a clearance card and some keys to registers. Ooh big frickin deal..you get no sick time, they force you to find someone else to work for you, EVEN if you might be in the emergency room. They don't care if you have family plans during the holidays - its ALL about them between November and December which I think is crap, they force you to stay on register, they are unfair towards paychecks, and gives certain employees who have been there for a much longer time less salary than someone who has been there for a shorter period...its ridiculous. I also have a theory that relatives of managers get more Respect opposed to someone who works their butt off....

Lastly, the customers...they are gay. They have no respect towards "us" the employees, they have no patience, even if it might be ridiculously busy out front. And they blame everything ON the cashier, when its not even our fault. Not to mention, all they do is WHINE. They always have to find some problem just to make you look like a retard, and let me say something - I am not your slave, I am an employed worker at Chick-fil-A who is WILLING to give you ignorant people food.

Congratulations Scruff McGruff, you really took that "bite" out of crime.

I wanted to share with you people about a U.S History teacher that teaches in a bias manner, and honestly should not be a teacher. He calls out your test grades in class, which is crooked, and realistically you can get fired from the job if any one was to report it. I mainly want to make the announcement about the religious content he likes to try to put out "there", but honestly he fails dramatically. He makes too many inappropriate comments about how fundamentalists are wrong, and how he doesn't even know where they are coming from when honestly he shouldn't even go there considering he was raised in a Catholic school who has priest that molest children, and how the "Catholics" didn't do anything to arrest them, and instead defended them. And Then he tries to get started on scriptures which is a huge mistake to do, because if it became a one on one battle, he would get trashed. It wouldn't even get to the second level, he tries to point out the roles of women, when he knows so little, and he tries to announce how we are all sinning at this very moment, when that is actually false if you knew the real context and quote, "Hebrew language" as Christina would say. Let me also say that he has cursed out other students, and consistently makes fun certain individuals, I also got word that he made a racist comment to an Asian student that went along the lines of this:
Student: I can't do this work
Teacher:You're Asian you should be able to do this
Call me wrong, but I consider that to be a bit racist....Well that is just some examples of ignorance that occurs in this class that needed to be announced.
