FEB 12TH!!

IT'LL BE A LONG ONE TODAY!


I started typing this big long rant about Valentines day and what is represents then i realized... Eh i could careless about what it means to other people cause it means absolutely nothing to me, AT ALL... I know I'm sad and going to be lonely the rest of my life right? Oh well. Moving on i was having a conversation with my youth pastor JJ and i forget what we were talking about but my mind began to wander to the possibility of me being some1 that actually does good in the world and doesn't fall  in the basic scheme of things once i get to old for youth group. As most of us know i am by no means an amazing example of purity, patience, wisdom or even happiness for that matter. But the truth of the matter is people seem to look up to me. Even if it is only my little brother or some of the freshman on the wrestling and football team or the middle schoolers at church. People look up to me... WOW that's an amazing thought, so that means nothing i do gets just looked over. Nothing i say gets tossed in the trash. Wait that's kind of scary isn't it? I mean what if they knew who we are in secret what effect would that have on them?  I mean I'm asking this hoping to get responses. How do you think people feel that look up to us as Christ Followers feel when we show them we care, and its not superficial. Its funny how little things in our behavior may make some people love or despise us. Well sorry for rambling what i am meaning is YOU yes YOU reading this has some1 watching you that thinks the world of you and if there is a side of them you don't want them to see as Christ Followers than its probably not a side you should have. I mean i am not perfect no where near but i am working slowly to be a better example for those people. I mean I'm not famous by no means but my blogs have been read about 600 times which means there is a pretty decent possibility someone has taken stock in what i have said and changed. IDK maybe I'm imagining things but i feel like God is moving rapidly through our generation. Lets make a stand a difference to the people who look up and respect us. Lets change people by changing. One more thing i love all everyone. And remember your defined not by your worst moments but by who you are going to be through God.

this is the type of stuff i listen to... Though i'd share

Today is the 9th day of February of the year of 2012

Sometimes things need to get worse before they get better...

             Do you understand what this means? It means that God is going to test us and test us and test us until we think how can things get worse. And guess what... IT'LL GET WORSE! What people don't realize is that as Christians we have to be tested to stay honest to ourselves and to God. Idk what more to say than that. Short Post today guys... One more thing KEEP YOUR HEADS UP NO MATTER WHAT, PEOPLE LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU. 

God is lord. God is love. God is life. LIVE IT.

Today i took a listen to pure music challenge... It will be one of the most hard things in the world to do. Don't get me wrong i am going to succeed but it wont be easy. 
On the other hand how often do are we driving on the road of life without a map... Just winging it. Taking back roads to nowhere and highways to regret. Or even getting some positive things out of the experiences we have. Well think about it this way whether you want to realize it or not our life isn't in our own hands. Sure we have free will. But if God wants us to come home. Then we as Christians have no other choice. On another note, where do we draw the line saying this is enough? I'm tired of being hurt, I'm tired of being depressed, I'm tired of being stuck in this clique, just being tired to the point of breaking down. Or do we put one foot forward and be different and say hey... I'm not really like you I'm like ME. And ME as an INDIVIDUAL believes in God and is not perfect but is striving everyday. Sure i have mishaps but i am a Christ Follower and through him all things are possible.


In youth group today at Merge Student Ministries i was listening to J.J. Gawlowicz talk about this amazing winter retreat we went on two weekends ago. There was tons of bonding in the group and of the multitude of people who were at the event people stepped up out of no where. I mean middle school kids taking charge people who I had never heard talk before making a voice for themselves through Christ. But it dawned on me i had been part of that trip for 2 years consecutive and unfortunately next year i will not be able to go. I began to wonder to myself have i impacted the people around me enough to where i will live on through their decisions and thought process will my actions help these amazing individuals shape their lives to become something great or will they say... Oh yeah Trey ha ha he was.... coool? Idk food for thought I guess #impactyear...
That is all see yous guys tomorrow...

Feb. 7th, 2012

I'm challenging myself to start blogging... About anything and everything see if i can get any one's attention i used to blog pretty regularly but now. I'm going to do it everyday. Some days... are going to be very boring but other days, i will have a bit more motivation.

           Today in American govt i had a very interesting conversation with a group of individuals. And one guy in particular hated Christians saying that we were all hypocrites and that we all believed that if its not our way its no way... Then this genius Jose Aroma Viera interjected.. Saying that Jesus never called anyone to a religion, that he called them to faith. And that got me to thinking... What kind of world would we live if people stopped pushing a religion and started telling people about the awesomeness of Jesus. Not that hey you gotta believe us or you gonna rot in Hell... Maybe that's not the best thing to tell skeptics. Idk just my opinion...

           But hey read it follow it idk...Oh yeah check out Jose's music he is amazing.

Thoughts

I cant think of any better time to do this post. I love everyone and i am thankful for all who influenced
my life good and bad. But there are way to many wreck less thinkers in this world... I look at it this way say a fire is started, and when you go to put it out by spraying water on it the only thing it does is spreads. So here you are thinking.... Why didn't that work..? Or are you saying oh MORE WATER!!!
Majority of people are saying more water... But what you don't know is its a grease fire, and that water will only make it worse and worse. See here's the thing we hear about people talking bad about us or something goes wrong in our lives and we get set in our ways thinking of only 1 solution however radical or passive it maybe. Why not consider multiple and even ask someone more intelligent than you like God... Hah just saying oh well LOVE ALL Y'ALL.

This is a good friend of mine. Listen to the Lyrics. Dig deeper than normal you might like it.

Bailey Hill-My Mission.

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone on the outside watching the world unfold. I seem to believe it's my job to see things fall apart, find a solution to the problem, and go put them back together again or that I'm the one who needs to help someone in pain or need.  If I hear about someone that's upset, my heart skips a beat and I feel as if I'm on another mission. I feel sympathy for anyone and everyone no matter what our relationship is. Because of this, I feel like there is a constant nagging on me. But that's not the problem. The problem is that because of the responsibility I take on mentally, I am constantly put down. Society isn't..happy. And it's not always my fault. Placing that much blame on myself is probably absurd to you, but I think of myself as failing when I can't lift up someone's spirit. I get tired of seeing people unchanged and so I move on and just keep them in my prayers, but now I've gotten to the point where although my life is full of people, I somehow feel abandoned. Well, with God because he's the only one who doesn't fail to love me and is always proud of me. But I'm still in need of someone. Someone who I can tell all my secrets to, someone I can love and someone that can join me...on my mission.

Barriers.

So its been a good amount of time. Sorry for the absence here is some food for thought.


Have you ever sat down and thought that ever since we were little people have shaped us... Shaped us into what we are now and the littlest gesture of negativity when we were younger would wreck us. Now we turn that some times constructive criticism into something worse than need be, blocking it from our minds because we have barriers that haven't been broken.


The barriers that keep us from being open minded and keep us from doing our duty not only Christ followers but friends and in our relationships as well. People have different perspectives at all time. And for as long as there are people on Earth there will be a point in which we were shaped that we will differ from some of the most important people in our life's. 


That being said. We have a chance to listen or not listen to be open minded to change or not to. God gave us that right. We can break out of the 3-d square (aka a box). Its simple just think things through. Accept fact, look at things from a different angle there are usually more than one way to solve a problem. And when you seek for advice... Don't get mad your the one that asked.
