It funny that you mention this because our mission trip meeting has mention this. I read a book that full of stores how devoted christians ended up dying for jesus christ or got in trouble. They are all true stories. It made me wonder if I am willing to die for jesus. Of course nobody want to died but as for me.. I am willing to died for him. I am learning soo much about jesus. My faith was growing so stronger. I never thought of that I read all those stories. We are dying every day for jesus as a christians. That what we should. We died every day and lay on our cross. I also learned.. That sometimes good things can be bad things. Like for example.. Sports, friends, school, church and all that. It can be good but if it get too good that it actually distrup your school life or other ways.. I have to admit.. Im really into god..internet and texting. I realized.. I have to cut some like internet and texting of course some tv. I don't really watch tv not a lots now. My mom realized that im soo into church. Which is good thing but im not going to cut that! I love god! Im proud of it! It defined who I am! Soo yep that what I learned! Anyway can you pray for me! Starring monday we will be going on that mission trip! Finally! It took 3 weeks of meetings to do the mission trip so we can know what to do. So im kinda scared of gospel.. Because I did the phone challenge at D2S atlanta 2009 and let just say it not goes well. Im kinda scared that I will say some stupid thing or get request. Im not worried about it but im scared! so pray for me! Hey greg..

I had a good day, and then I don't know what happened... I felt misunderstood for some reason. I felt like people wanted me to explain to them whats wrong and then they'd get on my case and falsely accuse me of "feeling" or "thinking" a certain way. It's hard to explain something I don't understand... my eyes have been cried dry. ): I wish I knew why I felt like that.. Glad I don't have to explain it to Jesus!! Pray for my left and right legs... I've had a history of left knee problems and right could follow... it was rather painful.. Hows your wrist feeling, Greg? Quick question,
will you pray for me?

The simple answer is that I have no idea why. But I know this...God does and someday, looking back on our lives from heaven, I'm convinced we will see that he never wasted a trial and that his goal was always higher, better and more amazing than we could ever imagine. Hope that helps a little. Great Question. The simple answer is that I have no idea why.

I understand that pain helps draw u closer to God and helps God mold u but what if it has already brought you to your knees in prayer? why doesnt God just say yes ill make it go away? I know the answer to prayers is not always yes but why doesnt God just heal his sick children since of course he only wants the best for us...? I mean i feel guilty for praying and crying about the little pain i have when i know there are ppl out there who suffer from a lot more.. Im so lost. Hey Greg..

All we have to do is cry out to him,seek his word and hold on tightly to his hand. He will not only strengthen and comfort us in the midst of it, he brings us to a new level within his will to be used by HIM. Pain is God’s refining fire in our soul, to break us and make us.

God knows what he's doing,we don't. As I was reading this the song There Will Be A Day-Jeremy Camp and I Am-Mark Shultz came on K-LOVE. I am trying to learn sign language to the one by Mark. I lost the lyrics I printed out...oh well, I'll print 'em again. I want to get the gospel out by doing sign language to music and doing 'skits' to music or something!! This post also reminded me of a quote that says "If we never had pain, we would never know comfort." I don't want Him to stop either!! 1 Timothy 4:12, Katelyn Marissa Thanks for the reminder that I’m not the one who is in control. God knows what he’s doing,we don’t.
