MY BLOG?

You may have noticed that something is not right with my BLOG & its something other than me actually posting for once :-) hehe. My pictures and countdown timer arent working... its something to do with my IINET hosting - so please be patient with that.

Well this problem has produced something good... I thought i should POST... firstly to let you know what is going on with my blog, but secondly to let you know what is going on in my life.

EVERYTHING has been FULL ON this last few weeks. I think i've experienced a whole gamet (hehe that word just jumped into my head, heard someone else say that before and then we all laughed at how OLD SCHOOL it is) of emotions.

• I have been soooooo!!!!! stoked(happy) with getting to spend almost a MONTH with TOM (my bro) while he has been on holidays back here from Thailand. I just love him STACKS... and i show that with alot of kisses, hugs & my prickly beard (all these things TOM loves!... but in moderation... and still maybe not the beard) hehe :-) No guessing what my Love Language is!?! He's back in Thailand... serving OUR KING... doing what he loves most. Go it Bro!!! That brings with it sadness... but Joy that he is doing what God want him to!
  
• I have been HEAPS! flat out with EXO. It is such an awesome event that Christians run in local High Schools around Australia to share The Gospel of Jesus Christ with the students. It went really awesome in our school with a Christian Band (doing both secular & christian song - all recieved awesomely by the students), a free BBQ for 900 STUDENTS (crazy?... YES! worth it?... For Sure!), Testimonies (they were HUGE... one Yr 8 student just proclaimed the grace of God... quoting JOHN 3:16 and saying what it means to His life!... go it Seth!) It was soooo good, but full took it out of me. PLEASE PRAY that as this outreach continues... this Friday Night... Students who are going to come to a Christian Youth Event will be convicted and give there lives to Jesus!
• And in the middle of all of this I strugle with the sin that so easly entagles us... BUT READ ON! CAUSE WE WILL THROW IT OFF IN JESUS NAME!
  

HEB 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

HEB 12:4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:

"My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,

HEB 12:6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."

HEB 12:7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8 If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! 10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

HEB 12:12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13 "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

This is AWESOME! We must be disciplined for our sins because GOD loves us! And this discipline may not seem pleasent at the time (we may ask... why do i need to follow God... why His ways and not my own), but we will see in the end that we are HIS Children... and we will see a harvest of righteousness and peace... BECAUSE HE TRAINED us!

I LOVE YOU LORD! Thanks for your faithfulness to me!
