No more Lukewarm Christians!
I'm reading this book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I thought I would share this quote with you.
"Are you willing to say to God that He can have whatever He wants? Do you believe that wholehearted commitment to Him is more important than any other thing or person in your life? Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving other people He has made?
True faith means holding nothing back; it bets everything on the hope of eternity. I know that this whole swimming-upstream, pursuing-Christ, taking-up-your-cross thing isn't easy. It's so hard, in fact, that Jesus said the road is narrow and few will actually find it...Like the parable of the sower, don't assume you are the good soil; don't assume you are the one of the few on the narrow way."
Another thing Francis Chan mentions in his book....
Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and in place of "love" put your name. Do you fit that?
Are you patient? Are you kind? You feel like a liar saying that, don't you?
------
Let's encourage one another to become full-hearted Christians! Let's love others as Christ loves the Church! Fall in love with God and let the things of the world pass. Let go of those things and follow Him!

I get to share that with the kids in Ideal, South Dakota in June! Hallelujah!!
3. I've learned that my love language is not just quality time. It's definitely words.
4. I need to make a stop at Wellspring and puchase a few books.
5. I've been thinking about applying at The Learning Post. Hope God shows me clearly where to go.....open/close the doors Father!
6. Praying about Timberline and the changes in the near future.

Updates on Life
1. Good recap on life today with a long time friend, Emily. Well, when I say "long time" that probably means different things to people. haha, okay so let me explain. I've been friends with her since 6th grade.
2. Preparing drama for Good Friday and Easter service at Timberline Church. fun fun! It keeps me busy! =)
3. Reading and memorizing Scripture out of Proverbs. (Thanks Melissa for the idea of how to answer people about the job thing.)
Proverbs 1:7, 33
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."
"but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm."
Proverbs 2:2-5
"turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God."
Proverbs 3:3, 5-6
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart."
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 4:13, 26
"Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life."
"Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm."
4. God's blessed and stretched me without a job to be able to serve others the way I've been needing to.
5. Cleaning is a process I've come to understand fully that it will never be done.
6. My grandma is a good example of a peacemaker.
7. I'm learning a lot about myself these last couple months that's for sure!

WRATH OF GOD
The temple mound
withstand your ground
The great Messiah
Redeemer of fire
The Great I AM
with Him, I stand.
The fallen gate
the people hate.
They turn their swords
Let God reward.
Put trust in Almighty
even in the valley.
Rebuke the lost
The cross the cost
God persues
and loves you.
He is faithful
just be careful.
The holy hill
has had its fill.
The time has come now
we wonder how.
We wait and listen,
praying for our children.
The tower will fall
at judgement call.
The enemy gone
and the fire on.
The people will praise
if they are raised.
The lost will fall
behind the fire wall.

It's Okay, God's on my side
Let me explain this a little bit. I was at Britney's house today and we were jammin' and having some fun. I was messin around on the keyboard, then I went to her guitar. And some of you have seen me do this before....haha. But today I found some notes that actually sound alright. (heehee) I wanted to start singing a song right there, but nothing really seemed right. I put down the guitar, grabbed some paper, a pencil, and started writing.This is what I came up with...
I'M OKAY, GOD'S ON MY SIDE
(v1)
Trying to walk the other day
not looking the other way
People telling me to turn around
get myself off the ground.
I'm tellin' them I'll be just fine
God's got me on this line
(C)
You can tell me
How it should be
get down from that tree
but I know life's not free
(v2)
Trying to live the other day
not seeing the other way
People thinking I'm confused
they really give off a fuse
I'm showin' them life this way
more to it then getting a pay
(B)
I'm okay
God's on my side
I'll go His Way
for I know the plan
...when I die.
