God!

I have a few questions about God.... 1. Why does He love me? -Answer: I have no idea! Just because He is God i guess!

2. Why does He spend His time on such a frail, meaningless creature as me? Answer: Don't really know the answer to that either...He is just perfect! :)

    If you didn't notice already, I am extremely thankful for God's goodness today! I am feeling so encouraged and touched by His magnificent power that i feel a need to scream His goodness to the world! God is the answer to EVERY problem that you have! Bondage? God can free you from it! Depression? God can fix it! Need love? God will give it! Sick? God can heal you! Poor? God will provide for you (physically and spiritually)!
     I have been going through a tremendous battle in my mind and God has freed me from it! The confusion is gone! The doubts are gone! The joy of the Lord has returned to my heart and i feel like i could just run, jump, and fly away! The Lord Jesus Christ is truly wonderful!

Just a few things i thought i would share with you:

You say.....God says......

1.You say "it is impossible!"

God says "All things are possible!"

And He said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

-Luke 18:27

2. You say "I am afraid."

God says "I have not given you a spirit of fear."

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
-2 Tim 1:7

3. You say "I feel all alone."

God says "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have; for He hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.
-Heb 13:5

My random thoughts

     Hello all! I haven't been updating this blog as much as i should in the past month, i am sorry. My mind has been in a whirlwind of confusion since Christmas break. The shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, eating, New-year's celebrating, iced-window scraping season has left me utterly exhausted! I am ready for the warm weather to return. I long to be on the creaking porch swing again, reading for hours at a time, instead of trudging away on my schoolwork and trying to keep warm! Wintertime without snow just doesn't really excite me.

    

     2012 is going to be a busy, crazy, and eventful year. However one thing it will not be is boring! I am excited to complete my second year of home-school (a much, much, smoother year than the first, i might add!). My father has helped me to purchase a car....the only problem is...i have no money! Ha ha! So i will be starting my first job this summer to pay for my share (add another check to the to-do list!). My pastor and some other men from my church (including myself) have been working to remodel an old church to worship in, and to use as a place to house unstable people and show them the light of the Gospel! I am EXTREMELY excited about the fact that it is scheduled to be completed in March of this year! I cannot wait to witness what God has in store for us! Another thing that i am planning to do this year (Lord willing) is to begin my first year of Bible school! Although I am a born-again Christian, i have a fairly limited knowledge of the Bible.  I am really looking forward to the class and i am anxious to see what God will do through it in my life! I have no idea what God has in store for me, but i am itching to find out! :)

     

     On a less important note, i am currently in the middle of reading Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle wrote many short stories with Sherlock Holmes as the main character. The book that i have includes all 23 of his original stories in chronological order so that it reads out like a novel. I enjoy this book so much! The classic humor that it contains has actually made me begin to laugh out loud in a silent room (does not usually happen with me)! I can almost never guess the outcome of the next case until i have read it through to the end (as i can with other detective novels that do not have such a strange twist in the conclusion).

    

     I have just completed reading the first book in John Flanagan's new series, Brotherband. For those of you who have never heard of this author and his work, you should know that he wrote an 11-book series called Rangers Apprentice that i found immensely entertaining and well written. Brotherband is a series similar to Rangers Apprentice, in that it is set in the same world. I loved the setting and plot of Ranger's Apprentice. However, after about book 10, the characters where beginning to wear a bit thin. With his writing style and a new set of characters, i have once again been pulled headlong in the whirling, twisting, clashing world of John Flanagan's imagination! I am impatiently waiting for book 2 to come out in May!

      I know that this post has deviated away from my usual topics but i just felt like spilling my current life to the online community. :)

      I am glad to be back on the "blogger-sphere" as my friend Rachel calls it, and i wish you all well in 2012! :)
