A poem for my friend

For Paul... I love ya, man, you're awesome!

Running and jumping and leaping through the air

Diving on the floor as if it wasn't there

Your volleyball skills are never on trial

That's where you can let go of the worry and stress for a while

Laughing and teasing you're always in good spirits

You're never mean to those of us that suck and we love you for it ;)

Your parties are fun, you're a goof when you're drunk

Friendly to everyone and never a punk

But I've seen your quiet and serious ways too...

Beneath the smiles and the jokes I know sometimes you feel blue :(

Thoughtful of others, honest and bold

Still waters run deep, at least that's what I'm told

I'm glad that I met you and I'm honored to be your friend

Whatever happens I know we'll be cool till the end :)

Letter to you from Satan

I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores.

You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you.

I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of
living, Fool, you are mine.

Remember,you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God.

I am only using you to get even with God.

He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back.

You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for
you.

But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a
living hell. That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God.

Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with all of
the good times we've had.

We have been watching dirty movies,

cursing people out,

stealing,

lying,

being hypocritical,

fornicating,

overeating,

telling dirty jokes,

gossiping,

being judgmental,

back stabbing people,

disrespecting adults,

and those in leadership positions,

no respect for the Church,

bad attitudes.


SURELY you don't want to give all this up.

Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us.
This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you.

I'd like to say "THANKS" for letting me use you for most of your foolish life.

You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in HA HA HA, you make me sick.

Sin is beginning to take it's toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now, I need new blood.

So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.

All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or

drink

cheat,

gamble,

gossip,

fornicate,

and live being as selfish as possible.

Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that. Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess you sins, and live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, I still hate you.


IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST.

SATAN

P.S. If you love me, you won't share this

My plane will take off in about 4 hours and i'll be on my way to the east coast, and even though i'm not yet there myself, i know Holy Spirit is... I know His presense is already there, setting the atmosphere, softening hearts and preparing a way for me... and i'm excited... i'm not going to RI... i'm sent there... i'm packed up and prayed up ready to step unto the battlefield and penetrate the darkness with God's truth. People who are important to me have laid hands on me in prayer and covered me in God's anointing and the protection of His blood. My armor is on and my spirit is stirred up... I'm being sent in the name of Jesus, so get ready, get ready, get ready! I'm tellin ya... RI hasn't seen anything like what's about to hit it ;)

Consider it all...JOY!

"Count it all joy when you fall into various trials." James 1:2

So I got into a car accident last night... some guy hit me as I was on my way to cadre... yea... bummer... but I gotta say it was a GREAT night! Not only did God give me His divine peace, but He also gave me great joy in seeing this as an attack of the enemy, which in itself is a major compliment that Im a huge threat... SWEET! So not only did I get to spend mega quality time w/ L (I luv u, ur awesome!) I also got to see Gods divine hand of protection, grace, and favor, even today, as I dealt with the situation. Its so clear to me now, seeing the supernatural part of it, that the enemy wanted to eliminate me (at the most) and use this as a distraction from my upcoming trip to RI (at the least) and what Im supposed to do there... no such luck! God brought me to a place above that a place where I completely trust in God and rest in His loving arms of peace and the assurance that He is in control. I am His child and my car is His car and He will take care of both J

Nonetheless, I still need your prayers. Please agree with me in prayer that everything will be taken care of and go smoothly while Im away. Also, please pray for my trip, that it will be anointed with the presence of God and His Holy Spirit that will go there before me to prepare the way and be there with me in all I say an do.

Thanks guys! I love ya!

REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS! And again I say, REJOICE!!!!!!!!

I find it quite fascinating when I talk to people about God and they say: I have my own view (opinion) of God. Umm... HELLO... YOU CANT CREATE YOUR OWN GOD!

He is the CREATOR and we are the CREATION! This guy told me today: well, there are many religions out there and everyone has their own god. Yea... but guess what? All these religions are not real and all these gods are not real... think about it... there can only be ONE true God... the one who created everything, including you and me. There simply CANT be that many gods and that many religions! Just because you dont believe in something or dont know about something or are wrong about something doesnt make it any less real or true! Example: what if I believed that pizza was a drink... just because I believe that its a drink doesnt make it a drink! Its not a drink! Its food! Ive never seen a pizza, but I think its a drink... I dont know that its food... well Im obviously wrong, but I dont know that Im wrong because Ive never seen the real thing... the point is... you can not believe something all you want, but it doesnt make it any less real or true... Truth is not relative, truth is absolute...

I talk to so many people who have no clue who God is... and theyll admit it. They say that they believe in a god, but they dont know who he is, they just have some theories that they threw together (I believe this, I dont believe this) Im like... are you sure? They say: well no, Im not sure, but this is what I believe. Well, if youre not sure, dont you want to be? If you dont know, dont you want to know? I mean come on... how long have you lived on this planet? And you think you know it all? Of course not! Our brains have not been activated long enough for us to know everything! So what makes you think youre right?

Guess what? There is a God... one true God, and you can know Him. In fact, He wants you to know Him! Yes, really! How? Ask Him to reveal Himself to you... He will... He is real and He wants to make Himself real to YOU! He wants you to EXPERIENCE Him! He is the ONLY God who has ever claimed to be the ONLY TRUE God and that has to count for something... He wrote you a letter telling you how much He loves you... what other "god" has done that?

"Beautiful"

so i'm reading this book now, Captivating, and its dealing with the woman's soul... her heart, and all that "women" stuff... its quite revealing... and this is the song that it makes me think of... they play it on Spirit all the time... i like it...

I was so unique
Now I feel skin deep
I count on the make-up to cover it all
Crying myself to sleep cause I cannot keep their attention
I thought I could be strong
But it's killing me

Does someone hear my cry?

I want to be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart,
and be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful

Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me
Fighting to make the mirror happy
Trying to find whatever is missing
Won't you help me back to glory

You make me beautiful
You make me stand in awe
You step inside my heart, and I am amazed
I love to hear You say
Who I am is quite enough
You make me worthy of love and beautiful
