LIFE IS ALL ABOUT TAKING RISKS

 

What is risk....? Risk is taking a chance on something that you are unsure of what the answer may be. It's taking a leap of faith, it's going out of your normal actions, going out of the box for something that you believe is worth taking the risk for. Whether it may be taking a risk on love, in everyday living, or in chasing your dreams. In life people make choices. Whether it be the decision to watch t.v. or  to not call someone to hang out, or choosing to get to know a certain invidual because you see qualities in them that you like.. WE make a choice everday in our lives whether it be good choices or bad ones. The point i am trying to get across is that we take a risk in making decisions because nothing is certain in life except JESUS CHRIST. In our lifetime we have to take a risk, we have to take a chance, because if we don't we are just being scared. We're selling ourselves short of what could have been or what could still be. Don't assume that when you take a risk that the outcome of it would always be negative. Believe that the impossible can happen. Don't prepare for a no answer prepare for a yes answer and like the Adidas add says; "Impossible is Nothing". These few days have been not so easy for me i'm still struggling with my spiritual walk but for the past few days we have been talking about taking chances and to not be afraid to take them  because if you don't take the risk you automactically lose in what every circumstance your in so for those of you who are struggling in your spiritual walk right now here's one piece of advice... stop feeling sorry for yourself that your stuck in sin and that it's hard for you to get out of it and that if you do try to repent that you'll end up going back to your old ways. Don't be afraid take a risk.. step out in faith and run towards our ever so loving and forgiving father JESUS CHRIST who is full of grace and mercy. Try it. Take a risk repent and come back to JESUS you won't regret it. Before i end my blog here's another advice that i'm passing on to you that i got from an unlikely source but before that answer this question. Are you sick of the things you do and you want to change but it's so hard for you? Well here's my two cents on what you should do..... shut up and JUST DO IT ........DO IT. Leap in faith and believe that GOD will ignite that spark you need.

IN NEED OF SAVING SINKING SLOWLY BUT NOT SURELY

 

Well well well this is a surprise it's been awhile since i have done this letting you guys know what's been on my heart and mind This summer has been more than what i  have expected full of weddings debuts and surprise vacations to philippines and probably winnipeg but behind all the fun behind all the laughter is a soul that is dry and mal nourished eager and longing for something more than just what a normal teen would ask for far greater than a trip to the philippines and far far greater than a summer love haha lol but in all serious ness what i need is something out of this world something you can't buy in a store simply I need Jesus I need him i'm dying this summer of spiritual hunger I've been spending way too much time in worldly things too much world and not enough dwelling in his word equals dryness and sin I've let the enemy just get a hold of me so easy it makes me sick to my stomach that i have let this happen to myself I need to escape I don't want to live in filth in crap i'm in trouble here and i'm willing to admit you know what's even worse is that when i tried to ministry to one of my friend's in the philippines i kinda stumbled and forgot some of the words in the verse John 3:16 shocking huh... All i know is i gotta get out of this situation and get back to him Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior he's all i need there is only ONE WAY.......JESUS no need to search for anything else no need because that would just be a waste of time and most of all foolish which is what i have been these past months FOOLISH but one thing comfort's me in my dark and brim trial in life and that's this HE(JESUS) SEES THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART AND HE LOVES ME THE SAME HE LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY YOU ARE AMAZING GOD-SIMPLY INDESCRIBABLE THAT SHOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO START A SPARK WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A BIG SUPER FRIKIN FIRE THAT CAN'T BE PUT OUT BECAUSE IT'S TOO STRONG IT'S GOD STRONG BABY i'm excited revolution...we'll see what God has in store for me in the coming days please LORD light the fire again I LOVE YOU....let's do this

                                          (at the top of this dark picture is a ray of hope)

Feel so weak, defeated, and exhausted. Felt i havent had a peacful or complete sleep in awhile. Just plain drained out, all of my energy has left my body. You ask where all the energy has gone to? It's going towards things that do not even matter, the worldly things, i have succumb to the world sorta speak and its pleasures. I have been tempted and have gone the wrong way. Although there was a way out and i did not take it. I feel so dirty and rotten. There's just a battle going on inside me, and i'm siding with the wrong guy. I know i am wrong but i refuse to move and i just keep slipping farther and farther away. To the point that i do not even know how to get back and its getting harder. The things we trade just to have what we want and to have that momentary satisfaction. It's not worth it, it never has been, but why do we do it? Because were selfish people, i'm selfish, but what we cannot understand and even phatom is that those things that we do that is un-glorifying to God were nailed to the cross. To put it clear as mud OUR characteristics, OUR sinful desires, and ARE way of thinking is dead, because they got nailed to the cross along with Jesus, and he OVERCAME them for US willingly. Through that God was glorified. If Jesus lives in us, the old is gone and the new has come. The OLD is gone and the NEW has come. The OLD is GONE! So why do we sometimes choose to dwell or live in our old ways? I have to open my eyes to the truth,which i have ignored far too long. I feel like a hypocrite a faker cause of my actions and my lack of passion, effort, and eagerness to just KNOW GOD better. We were bought by his blood, without his blood there is no redemption,no hope. But throughout all this questions remain, are we WILLING? Willing to CHANGE our ways to HIS WAYS, our thinking to HIS THINKING, our every motive and desire TO HIS? Most important of all before any of this changing takes place we have to ask for his grace and forgiveness for our sins, to start fresh again, to give us a clean slate. LETS just come back to him his ARMS are WIDE OPEN.

At the end of all this only one thing matters, that we may boast in the cross and what he has done in our lives and spread it to people we come across and in turn they will discover the true meaning of life and that is in Jesus Christ.

LETS STOP LIVING IN OUR COMFORT ZONES AND START CHASING AFTER GOD..........

 THE confession of ISAIAH 26:8 lets begin to own this verse and CHAMPION IT

Longing to come back o Jesus, it does not matter what you did in the past, its what your going to do for God NOW that counts.............
