A mind to think
A mouth to speak
One thing to do
Two hands to use
Few soul's desire
Tons to aquire
Feel the love
Sent from above
Time to spread
We will be led
Feel no shame
For His name
May be small
But give it all.
Yes we'll fall
But please take it all

Funny isn't it?
Isn't It
Funny how a $20.00 bill looks so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall.
Funny how big an hour serving God looks and how small 60 minutes are when spent watching television, playing sports, sleeping or taking a lunch break.
Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church are but how short they are when watching a good movie.
Funny how we get thrilled when a football game goes into overtime, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time.
Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Bible and how easy it is to read 200-300 pages of a best selling novel.
Funny how we believe what newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
Funny how people scramble to get a front seat at a concert, but scramble to get a back seat at the church service.
Funny how we cannot fit a gospel meeting into our schedule with our yearly planner but we can schedule for other events at a moment's notice.
Funny how we look forward to that big date on Friday night, but complain about getting up for church on Sunday morning.
Funny how we are rarely late to work, but always late to church.
Funny how we call God our Father and Jesus our brother, but find it hard to introduce them to our family.
Funny how small our sins seem, but how big their sins are.
Funny how we demand justice for others, but expect mercy from God.
Funny how much difficulty some have learning the gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is to understand and explain the latest gossip about someone else.
Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
Funny how we are so quick to take directions from a total stranger when we are lost, but are hesitant to take God's direction for our lives.
Funny how so many church goers sing "Standing on the Promises" but all they do is sit on the premises.
Funny how people want God to answer their prayers, but refuse to listen to His counsel.
Funny how we sing about heaven, but live only for today.
Funny how people think they are going to Heaven but don't think there is a Hell.
Funny how it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering in the world, but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant.
Funny how when something goes wrong, we cry, "Lord, why me?" but when something goes right, we think, "Hey, it must be me!"
...wait...maybe all this isn't so "funny" after all.

A few updates
It has definitly been awhile. Since my last blog a few updates:
YWAM is definitly TOO much to save up for in four months. So I am looking into other options that are a little bit later in the year, maybe even leave it till around september. I Went to 888 with my friend; it wasn't too bad. There was alot of moments that I guess you could call lonely or not as much fun, but other moments that made it more worth while. I went for her though, not me, so it didn't matter whether I had fun or not. I did however meet a guy from Australia, one from
Ireland and one from England. (All very awesome) I am going to start looking into a career college downtown meant for massage therapy. It offers full OSAP, is compeleted in two years, starts every three months, and looks better than other schools since its main focus is massage therapy. Nursing still isn't completely out of the picture - now even going to look into dermatology - I just need to look at my options and plan for the future after YWAM. But it also depends on where God takes me.
I went to twenty twenty at Koinonia last sunday. It was really great there. I brought someone there who isn't saved, and she wants to go back again; that was so great to hear. While I was at twenty twenty, I met like 8 - 10 new people. People are more sociable there, not to mention they come off very mature. I am really hoping to start making friends there. Other things are going on my life, that I can't really explain enough to make it understandable. It is more of an inner personal thing, and my relationship with God and things He is changing in my life. I thank Him fully. His blessings are more than I deserve.
How Great is the Lord!

Content and Satisfied
I feel so content. I feel so satisfied.
I am happy with how I am starting to live my life.
I feel like I am headed down the right path.
Taking the oppurtunities God is giving me.
Living for Him - trying my best.
I finally feel more of a peace.
Of course not everything is perfect -
Nor is everything I do near perfect.
But that's ok, because I know God is there -
And I know I'm trying, and I dont want to give up.
I am taking a stand - He is holding me firm.
So content - so satisfied
- God is amazing -
