wow

like wow....im so in awe of God...

Look how amazing He is! His glory fills the sky! His praises fill the earth....

I love my Jesus....

Holy Spirit come and fill us up so high that we totally overflow...let us be guided by You....let us lay everything down as a sacrifice for you...

Lord infect us with your presence.....

Let the hairs constantly stand up on our necks because we know you are near!

Shake us with your awesome power....use us for miracles, use us as your witnesses...

"My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad,
the honours of Thy name"

Send your mighty angels down...let them surround us so satan cant get near...
Give us your armour as preparation for the fight...
Completely marinade us in Jesus' blood...
Help us pray so the DARKNESS WILL TREMBLE

Lord let nothing hold us back from you..

remove everything that will get in the way of me being with you 24/7

keep my flame lit....keep pouring the petrol on God...

I LOVE YOU!

Amen.......(let it be.)

satan loves bebo

Ok so im really really missing bebo....its so weird cause i keep trying to find a substitute for it...like myspace....i set up a myspace account in the summer and i hated it...well i went on again a few days ago and i tried to like it...but it just didnt work :( ...i dunno about you but i keep getting these emails saying "Bob has tagged you :)" .....yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever...but the other day i actually clicked on it and set up a Tagged account....as with myspace, i tried to like it but bleh...it didnt work for me....

its just so sad what we all waste our time on....like msn...ok its good for the occasional chat but sometimes i stay on for hours just watching people come online and go offline (sad i know)....it has, i believe, ruined my ability to hold down a decent conversation with people face to face. I say things on msn i couldnt say in real life simply because it feels more comfortable. But yeah, i was having a convo with someone a week ago or something and they asked me why i was doing the whole going off bebo for lent thing, so i told them it was like a sacrifice for Jesus...it would allow me to spend more time reading the bible and praying...then they said...."well i dont see you reading your bible now!" valid point lol! it got me thinking....what would life be like without modern technology....without computers and ipods and mobiles and tv and stuff....i reckon we would all be so much happier....especially spiritually. How much time would we spend with God?! It would be so unreal! How much stronger would our faith be? How many more healings would we witness? How many more visions would be seen? How many more lives would be transformed? Its kind of like technology is satans very sly and subtle way of bringing us away from God....yes, so we may be listening to Christian music on our ipods or looking at a christian bebo page or even watching the God channel....but do those things really bring us closer to God? The only way to get close to God is to spend time with Him. If we watch a home video with our parents in it, are we in any way strengthening our relationship with them? Yes, so we may be learning things, but are we talking to them and getting to know them better?

I know I get caught up with Christian stuff...theres no denying that the faith mission bookshop is my favourite shop in the whole world (especially the big ones in belfast and that cool one in lisburn ;-) ) but should we not focus on worshipping God and praying to Him and just allowing Him to take pole position in our lives? Thats such a hard thing to do....its so hard to give everything over to God...sometimes we want to so badly and we actually sing songs like "im giving you my heart and all that is within i lay it all down, for the sake of you my king...im giving you my dreams im laying down my rights, im giving up my pride for the promise of new life...and i surrender all to you, all to you..." we so want to surrender all but we just arent ready yet...ive told God to take it all in my life...but there are still some things that im grabbing onto with both hands...i really need to let them go...I love God so much....I dont know what i would do without him in my life but seriously...now i find it hard to sing that song in particular because i know that im really not surrendering it all...just the things i want to give to God like problems i dont want to sort out and stressful stuff at school....im not giving Him the good things, the things i like....like relationships and hobbies....i guess im scared of God being in control....what if he takes away people from me? What if i cant control my relationships with people because He is in control? I need to give Him everything....im working on it....its so hard. We sing songs and pray prayers without even thinking about the meaning, when, in fact, they are downright scary and so tough.


I hope I can give my all to You soon, God...I want to be able to hand everything over to You....give me strength and courage and wisdom to do it. Let me know for sure when i'm ready, Lord. Thankyou so much for saving me...You are so awesome! Love You...Amen xo

influential love

ok so do you ever meet someone who is really amazing? Do you ever come across people who are so kind hearted and loving that you can just see Jesus in their eyes when they look at you? I have a few people like that in my life...it blows my mind...i was thinking about it today cause...well you look at these peoples lives and yeah, they have made some mistakes in the past, but they have allowed God to totally transform their lives into something new and fresh and real....right now, these people are having a humongus (<<-- a="" about="" am="" and="" anyways="" are="" around="" at="" basically="" blessed="" cool="" do="" even="" example="" fib="" for="" giving="" god-stuff...they="" god...i="" gossiping...like="" have="" help="" helping="" hunger="" hungry="" i="" impact="" in="" it...="" it="" its="" itself="" jesus....they="" jesus="" just="" know="" knowing="" knowledge="" life...they="" life="" little="" live="" lives...like="" look="" love="" make="" makes="" me="" my="" nbsp="" on="" or="" other="" passionate="" people="" peoples="" so="" sometimes="" sp="" span="" telling="" temptation="" that="" the="" them="" these="" they="" think="" to="" too...but="" twice="" us="" want="" we="" what="" who="" with="" without="" would="" you="">

Live your life as if Jesus is standing right beside you all the time...in church, in school in town wherever...what would he say about the things you say or even think? Its hard to control our actions never mind our thoughts! I dunno about you but right now it seems to me as if none of my life mirrors anything of what Jesus was. He never did anything bad...he never even had any bad thoughts about anything...i really want to be like Jesus. I really want to have love...i really want to be love...right now that all seems pretty impossible....i really am gonna have to pray seriously about this...i mean, we cant do this without God on our side. He doesnt set out to be like the kid in the playground who watches your every move and tells the teacher when you make one tiny slip...hes there to walk with you and help you every step of the way. When you fall, he picks you up...when you graze your knee on the ground and its so sore and stingy that you cant walk, He lifts you up and carries you until you can walk on your own....its amazing how much he loves us...its also amazing how much we dont deserve that love...how much we take it for granted...how much we forget about it...like i know this seems weird...but God, the one who created everything in existence (think of the complexity of everything...every cell, every atom) chooses to love us....look how small we are compared to the vastness of the universe!! It flippin blows my mind....really does.....dont neglect God's love <3 span="">
