This is something I wrote down a few days ago just hadn't got a chance to post it yet.
When cleaning up and finding old pictures in boxes it made me think back to the days of being a little kid. I mean I know I'm not that old but I am past my childhood. It made me think back to the days when instead of worrying about my next job move, or next bill i need to pay, the next life step that needs to be taken i was just playing in my room with food and clothes always provided. My biggest concern was how long could I put off doing my homework or chores before getting into trouble. Biggest issues where the trouble I got into for sneaking into sisters room, sneaking a desert between meals or watching a TV show I was told not too. All of these seem so simple and make me long for and miss the times when really tough decisions and hard issues were taken care of for me.
Looking at these pictures simply reminded me that even though I'm an adult and the situations are different I'm still need help and I'm not on my own. I don't having to take care of everything on my own, because there is someone who will help me figure out where I'm going next and how to pay my next rent or car payment.
Life isn't as simple as it was when I was a child, but it doesn't have to be more stressful. As long as I lean on God and give him my troubles I can still have the faith and peaceful life I had when I was a child, because just like my parents guided me and provided for me when i was a helpless child, my God is there to take care of me when I'm on my own but still like a child in need of help.
"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3-4 (NIV)

what would you change?
Have you ever been asked the question if you had one thing you could change from your past what would it be? We all have stuff we wish we would have done a little differently things that could have changed how are current situations are. The question that I have been thinking about is if I had truly given that issue to God what would have happened? Its not based on what I would have done differently to change the situation it is what he would have done for me, if I had let him.
We all have decisions we need to make what school should I go to, should I stay at this job, should I move, should I be in this relationship, should I go to this church and so on. Things that we've probably taken to God and said, let me know what I need to do, help me figure out this situation. For me after this I feel peace and burden lifted off. But occasionally after a few days or a week if I haven't seen any change or sign of what to do with the situation I start to try and fix it on my own again. This is where that situation can turn into one of those things in your past you wish you could do differently.
Today as I was walking my dog and listening to my MP3 player I realized that there are a lot of things I did on my own and did not wait on God to direct me on and asked myself the question what would life be like now if I had waited on God?
It gave me comfort because I realized that if I now ask God and truly wait for him to direct me how good things can be.
It was like asking for peace all over again. I'm trying to fix things in certain situations I asked God to help me with, but God is still taking care of them and he will direct me. I just need to truly wait and I can see what great things he has in store instead of attempting to fix things on my own.
On this Sabbath after Thanksgiving this is something we should all truly be Thankful for. A God who came down and died for us and is taking care of us. Despite the fact we may not deserve it and the fact we don't always come to him like we should and we forget to trust in him. I am Thankful that even though I mess up God is always there with open arms waiting to help direct me to the right path.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 TLB

Forgiveness
"If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins."
Matthew 6:14-15
Lately I've been thinking about forgiveness, and how it truly works to forgive, and be forgiven. Lets say someone calls you a name or tells you an idea at work is stupid, and then later after being harassed by others says sorry. Your instinct response is that's okay, but secretly you hope someone does the same thing to them. So did you really forgive them?
Just as it says in the above verse Christ expects us to forgive each other, just as he forgave us. But the question is how do you truly forgive?
In my life I have had many people do things that have hurt me and that to this day I have not forgotten. But I told them I forgave them, pretended it was okay but inside I'm still hurt and holding on to what was done to me. This is where forgiveness is so hard. We've all said we forgave someone before but secretly held on to the fact that something hurt us and we build walls to protect ourselves and in some cases focus on making sure that person hurts as well. These feelings can builds up and turn into anger. Turn into a determination that this will never happen to us again , even if someone else gets hurt, doesn't matter, as long as you never hurt again.
Now I'm not saying every time someone says they forgive you they are secretly holding on to it, and that you have to watch your back or that everyone is walking around bitter and holding grudges. But we've all said I forgive you at one point and not meant it. If you got in a fight with a spouse,a sibling, a co worker, or even the car in front of you while you're driving you may have said you were sorry or eventually cooled down and temporally forgot about it. But then later brought it back up in a different argument or told other co workers about what happened in a negative way, or saw that car that cut you off and did something to make them mad. So did you ever really forgive the other person?
Everything that happens to you will affect and change your life in someway and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, I just think its how you let those things affect you that can make the difference. I think that to truly forgive one place to start is forgiving yourself. You may not be able to truly ever forgive the other person unless you forgive yourself for being foolish and letting yourself be hurt or angered by what was done to you. Once you've prayed about it and God has helped you over come the fact that you feel like you have failed, then peace will come in and true forgiveness can be possible.
You may be asking how could I feel I failed if the other person let me down? Some may feel they have failed because of the fact you trusted the wrong person, you let different opinions with co-worker,sibling, friends, or the choices of the other drivers on the road burn you up and affect your whole day.
It still may not make since but to end I'm just going to attempt to sum up my thoughts. If there is anything in your life that you have not let go of cause you are still filled with anger over what an ex,a sibling,a co-worker or a spouse has done to you, maybe you need to ask God to forgive you for holding on to this anger and to give you peace. Even if you feel that the person does not deserve forgiveness and you have a right to still be angry think of what the point of that is? Why should you continue to let what was done hold you back. Forgiving yourself, and the other person can give you peace in your life. can get you back on track forgetting these worldly problems, and focusing on heavenly things.
If forgiveness still seems to hard think about this, you are forgiven and loved by someone who truly did not deserve what was done to him, but never held on to it and loves you eternally anyway.

Fears
"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 (NIV)
Last night one of the short devotional stories I read was about David and how he had no fear when he fought Goliath, and it made me start to think. Think about your biggest fear, the one thing that scares you the most. Everybody has fears the dark, heights, spiders, snakes even clowns. Some are more subtle like death, being alone or fear of failure. What ever your fear maybe really think about it, and how it makes you feel when you are forced to face it. Some of my fears include simple things like dark basements, a creaky old dark house at night, sometimes a rodent or insect can give me a scare, but these are simple fears for me that don't last very long, I am able to just over come them, and making my self deal with it when they come up. One of my biggest more hidden fears is the fear of being alone, it seems a little silly, and its something that not everyone can understand, but a lot of people are afraid of being alone. You don't admit it or may even deny it, but no one wants to feel there completely on there own, with no one to turn too. When facing other fears such as bugs, the dark, small spaces, heights you'd probably call a friend to help you through it before making yourself face it. The idea of having to face smaller fears alone can make your original fear even worse. Whats funny about this fear is that it applies to no one. No one is ever complete alone, if they let God in simply by a prayer and ask for guidance or comfort then the one who loved you from the beginning and has never left you and will never leave you will be there. Just call on him. I'm going to end with just posting a song below that reminds me to call on God when I feel I have no where to turn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Mu-T2g2a8
Call my name
third day
Its been so long since You felt like you were loved
So what went wrong
But do you know There is a place where you belong
here in my arms
Chorus:
When you feel like your alone in your sadness
It seems like no one else in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I'll be there
You just call my name and I'll be there
The pain inside has erased your hope for love
Soon you will find that I will give you all
your heart could ever want and so much more
Chorus:
When you feel like your alone in your sadness
It seems like no one else in this whole world cars
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I'll be there
You just call my name and I'll be there
You just call my name You just call my name
Call my name say it now I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive
Call my name say it now I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive
The love I have for you is so alive (2x)
Just call my name (3x)

accepting God's help
We all have that one thing that holds us back. The one thing that keeps us completely distracted and unfocused on the true meaning of each day. It could be drugs, alcohol, TV programs, sports, a relationship, the Internet, work, school and even are family. Something that we put all of are energy and focus into; that one thing that without realizing it we put above God. Putting all of are energy into it can make it hard to realize that its a distraction. Sometimes the issue is big enough for others to notice and to help us realize that it needs to be changed. But others are tricky enough that only you can truly eventually see that its holding you back and because it seems so simple you think that you can deal with it on your own. You may decide to cut back on whatever it may be on your own, only take on drink a night or only on special occasions, or just say well if I just watch my one favorite Soap it won't bother me. You tell yourself that you can fix the person that is in the relationship that's holding you back then it won't be such a distraction, or that God wants you to love and be there for others but ignore the fact you may not be doing things that please him with that friend or loved one. This is the issue that everyone has this is how the devil gets us. This concept is how Eve failed. She thought if I only take one bite won't hurt. WE say if I only take one drink, one pill, one show, just see the person less it will be okay I can just stop it later. The problem is once we try it we need to try it one more time and one more time after awhile we realize we've failed and think there is no hope and just give up.
The hope in this miserable cycle is a hard concept to get living in a world were you have to fix yourself and be perfect and strong all on your own. But we are all complete sinners and are completely helpless on are own and are doomed to fail. We Are nothing but worthless sinners, that is without God. The things I struggle with and I won't let go of, the things I think I need to take care of and fix to be good enough I never will, I'm doomed to fail until I stop trying to be so independent and let the one person in who wants to and can help me over come these failures.
"All of us have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. But God treats us much better than we deserve, and because of Christ Jesus, he freely accepts us and sets us free from our sins."
Romans 3:23-24 (seek find bible)
There are things that I struggle with and try to deal with on my own and I fail because I am a sinner but this verse tells me that in spite of me being a sinner Christ accepts me for me and wants to set me free I don't have to fix it on my own just come to him when I'm struggling and he will set me free.

small blessings
Philippians 4:6-7 (New International Version)
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
My thought on today's blog is a simple quick realization I had. I know I've always been taught to believe in prayer and that prayer really works but because I've never asked for big things i tended to over look the small things that were answers to prayer. As I went through this week one of these moments caught me and i realized how God is really there even if I don't think about it. I have been struggling with budgeting because before my recent move didn't really have to worry about it and my second job wasn't needing me like I thought they were so a big chunk of money I thought i was getting was missing. So one night as i was thinking about things and was trying to sleep I just stopped and said a little prayer in my head. I said lord just help me figure out what I need to do and for know give me peace of mind to sleep. The next morning i received a text from my on call job saying they would need me all week when I had the time to come in and they gave me a list of multiple other times they needed me as well as saying the would need me consistently for some Sunday dates. There census of patients had suddenly started to increase, which at first i thought nothing of it because that can happen in nursing homes but realized that I had just been a part of a small blessing from God because when it was worrying me and when I needed it most he blessed me with the extra hours to ease my mind. So I"m posting this story and the simple verse from Philippians to remind everyone what i was reminded of that we don't need to worry just pray and God will be there.

hard to change
I've been trying to get myself back on track and to improve my spiritual life, but it hasn't gone so good its hard to break bad habits and I've gotten into the daily habit of just work, home life, visiting family, taking care of dog then sleeping and doing it all over again. And in my spare time not thinking about including God. Its like trying to workout or exercise you really do feel better after you do it but trying to get yourself into the habit of doing it is hard cause you always find something that seems more important. But I'm trying to remind myself that nothing is more important then God and these little blogs are supposed to help me remember to focus on him more but lately seem to be finding excuses to not focus on them either. A song i was listening to recently reminded me of the reason why I started rethinking my spiritual life and why I started these blogs. I wasn't happy with the way things were. I was searching for the meaning of life and my purpose in it. Here is the song lyrics and a link to listen to it.

The Meaning Of Life lyrics
by Hawk Nelson
It only takes one to make a difference
It takes a little to change
Lets start today for a new tomorrow
Don’t look back
I wont look back now
Hey yah gonna find a new beginning
Lately tired of the life I’m livin
Find a way to make a change
In the lives of all of us who need
To find the meaning of life
We run the race just to keep our distance
Our lives we must rearrange
Lets chase away all our fear and sorrow
Don’t hold back I wont hold back now
Hey yah gotta find a new beginning
Lately tired of the life I’m livin
Find a way to make a change
In the lives of all of us who need
To find the meaning of life
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Life Life
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Life
To find the meaning..
Hey yah gotta find a new beginning
Lately I’m tired of the life I’m livin
Find a way to make a change
In the lives of all of us who need it
Today’s the day don’t hesitate Everybody with me sing
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na x4
It just got me thinking you know that if things don't feel right search for the new beginning, the little change that will make it right. That little change that will make a big change in you. God is the meaning of life and the little change that i need in my life.

not being ashamed
I started these blogs to try and keep myself on track with my devotions, and I have to be honest and say I haven't really been doing much studying like I should, but I have still been listening to a lot of Christian music and this is another thought about a song I heard. It’s actually more about the music video then the lyrics of the song this time. The music video can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpVsF4W8V2Y it’s by David Crowder band and the song is O Praise Him. In the video a man is listening to his headset while walking through the city and the song begins to really touch him. It makes him just want to praise his God. Which is exactly what he does, right there in the street, pretty much right in the middle of traffic, although it was a video and staged; it made me think about the fact that Jesus gave up everything for me. Died on a cross for me and yet I feel like sometimes I’m ashamed to praise him, to truly give him the honor he deserves this God that loves me endlessly and gave all to me and I'm ashamed to left my eyes to him and thank him to openly say that I believe and love him. It made me want to truly and honestly love him and praise him the way he should be and to not be ashamed or care what anyone else would think of me doing that, cause no one else has done for me what he has.

my first thought (secrets and regrets)
So a quick intro about this blog. I've decided to start writing down my thoughts and things I’ve found helpful as I try and improve my spiritual walk. This is to help me review what I’ve studied, read or songs I’ve heard that have helped me; And if it’s helpful or interesting to anyone reading it then that’s cool too. Well on to my first thought.
One thing that really gets me thinking and helps me with spiritual struggles is music and songs. The following song is one that has really got me thinking lately.
I've had a few things in my past that I do regret and I have kept as a secret from others and these things have been keeping me from forgiving myself and letting me move on from my past and getting out of the dark. This song reminds me that even though I’ve made mistakes I can't let them keep holding me back I have to move on from them and take the second or sometimes even second second chance God has given me. And no longer let secrets and regrets hold me back and finally get out of the dark.
One thing that really gets me thinking and helps me with spiritual struggles is music and songs. The following song is one that has really got me thinking lately.
- Pillar - Secrets and Regrets
- (From the album Confessions)
- No matter how hard you try to
- You can't make the clock rewind to
- The moment that you lied to yourself
- It never really mattered how they felt
- Your secrets and regrets Are keeping you from going very far
- And you can't let all this get you down
- And keep you living in the dark
- 'Cause all you're lookin’ for is love
- (You’re living in the dark)
- You just can't get enough
- Your secrets and regrets
- You’re holding all this pain inside you
- Can’t seem to leave it all behind you
- Tomorrow will be today soon
- Don’t wait until it’s too late to move
- How many times do you need second chances?
- Not everybody gets another second chance
- No more secrets
- (No regrets)
- You’re living the dark
