 Now the order could be a bit off, but for the most part it is actuate. And also thank you to everyone who prayed for me or gave me birthday wishes but did not let me know in some way. My birthday was awesome and it was a blessed day. Once again I want to thank you all who said something to me, it means a lot.

I also hope that your birthday are amazing when they come around, and that you are blessed every single day, not just on your birthday. Have a great day everyone.

Hope

Well the first official week of my second year of college is coming to it's end and man has a lot of events already occurred. The days has seemed to just drag on and, I personally feel exhausted from it all.

It really all started with the house that I moved into. I was going to be living with 5 other guys from my Christian Fellowship group on campus (called Intervarsity) and my brother. My brother and me moved in a week before school was suppose to kick off and found out that all the utilities were turned off. We got them on and running again after about three days. Then some of the roommates started to move in slowly as Intervarsity had a couple of events to gather some of the incoming freshmen. Everything was going fine then the city started to give the house troubles. Supposedly, in the city where I am at, you are only allowed to have 4 people live in a house, unless the people are family, and we had 7 people living in this house. At first we really didn't think anything of it until a 200 dollar fine was given to us for having more than 4 people living in the house. They told us we if had more than 4 people in the house next time they came by then the fine would jump up to 1000 dollars. Thus I am one of the 3 members of the house that has to move out and find another place to live.

The next major event that happened involved the children's ministry that I am leading. One parent is leaving the ministry and taking her kids with her. Now that doesn't really sound like it is a bad event, but the issue come in that this one person brought most of the parents who had children. In turn, the child count went from around 10-13 per week to 1 girl. As I said before, it is really not that bad, but it just is a big hit to my spirit. I had plans to teach these 10-13 kids, and not to say I can't teach this 1 girl with the same lesson plan, but it is just different.

Yet, with these events, and some other personal events, there is still hope. Yes, I might have 1 girl in my children's ministry right now, but God could really touch her spirit and lead her to understanding. And yes, I am going to have to move out of the house I thought I was going to be living in right now to an apartment, but God can still move in helping me find an apartment to live in. And, God maybe wanted me to move so that He could do amazing things in that complex. I don't know why all of this is really happening all at once, but I do have hope that God will make everything right.

This hope is something that we all need to take a hold of. We can't let the situations that we are going through to stop us. So what if I have 1 child in the ministry and that I have to move, God will do great works wherever I am and with that 1 child.

Have hope, because God has your back. Have hope, because God is not going to drop you after picking you up. Have hope, because God just loves you.

So I ask you to have hope with me. Stick through the tough times. End the end, God will be glorified and will bless you.

Excuses

It's funny when people want to do something and yet just put it off because of "random circumstances". Such as:

There is not enough time in the day for that to happen

There is just way to much going on 

If that happens that I will have to be working by myself

I don't think that things will go well

It just doesn't seem like things will be able to start

We can do other things during this time then actually start this at this time

I don't want to do this

Now really think about it for a second. What does all of those things sounds like to you? Reasons why the something can't happen at a certain time or excuses. I lean on the side of excuses, especially when the thing that you are suppose to do is from God Himself.


But think about it, would God give you a huge pull for something and then give you all these excuses. Now, yes God does work in His own time and could tell you that this event needs to happen later. But if God would be telling you this, it wouldn't be in the form of excuses.

If God tells you to do something, or give you a big pull, or if God gives you a heart to do something then you should go for it. Don't make excuses about why you can't do it or why there is no way that it can happen. Those things will just stop the blessing God has for you, and the people that would be touched by that ministry God has for you. Jump on to the train God has set for you and don't wait for the next train or wait to make a connection somewhere else. Follow the right train that is set before you, and ride the ride that God wants to ride.

I Will Never

How many times have you said that statement? I will never (insert item here). Like:

I will never date this person

I will never have sex before marriage

I will never listen to this kind of music

I will never drink

I will never do drugs

I will never go to this place

I will never eat this food

I will never grow up to be my parents

I will never do that again

I will never make that mistake again

I will never jump the gun

I will never treat people badly

I will never go to a club

I will never hang with this person again

I will never talk to this person again

I will never join this group of people

Now look back at these and others that you have told yourself.  How many of them have you actually kept. How many times have you said that you will never do something, but then end up caving and doing it at some point in your life. For example, you tell yourself that you will never make the same mistake again. Ok fine, but then later on you find yourself making the exact same mistake that you said you would never do again. Well, I guess that didn't work out.

But now you might be asking the question of why didn't it work.  

"Words have power, so why didn't it work to say that I will never do this again? I kept saying it to myself so that it wouldn't happen, but it did."

Well, there is a very simple answer to this. And the answer is really simple, but we usually miss it. It is involved with one specific word in the statement of "I will never". The word.... is I.

When you say "I will never"  you are actually saying that you won't do something with your power. For example, if you say "I will never drink" then you are saying you will do everything in your power not to drink. For some things your own will power will be enough to stop you from doing it, but there are just somethings that we just can't really control. Most of the time these issues have big emotional attachments.

With the big emotional attachments we seem to not be ourselves anymore. We basically will go with the flow and will about do anything to keep that emotional attachment alive or dead. For example, if you say that you will never have sex before marriage then you are treading on rocky waters. Now yes it might be easy if you don't have a girlfriend, but what happens when you do have a girlfriend and you get into a situation that leaves both of you alone. Emotions can easily rise up and that is where the trouble usually takes place. And most of the time at that moment your will power that says that you won't have sex before marriage seems to be nothing. Then you might end up have sex before you are married.

Another example is saying that you will never drink again. A lot of people drink to get things off their mind, and if that is why you are drinking then how well do you think you will be able to stop. Especially if the event you are trying to drown out with alcohol is painful to you. Your will power will only be able to go so far until you would have to drink to make the pain go away, or the make the memory go away. Then the cycle starts all over again. And again, and again.

But how do you beat these things? How do you actually not do what you say you aren't going to do? It is actually a simple answer the these questions. Instead of going off your own will power to not do these things, go off of God's power. With God will can do all things, not alone we can do all things. So, ask God for the strength to not do something. Stop trying to fight these battles alone, and let God help you. You know that we don't have to go into battle alone against the enemy right? God is gracious enough to lend us a hand in the fight against the enemy. And the best part is that God will always be there with us. God will never leave our side in the battle against the enemy.

So stop fighting alone. Let God fight along side with you.

Giving Your All

You are - Tenth Avenue North Lord of empty space
You breathe and then create
Before the earth was made
You are
The King of every age
Outside of time and space
The heavens speak Your name
You are
You areLord of brilliant light

You separate the night
And everything inside
You are
The One who calms the seas
And every part of me
With just a word You speak
You are
You are.

I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart

Angels bowing down
Beneath the rushing sound
A voice that thunders out
You are
The one who holds the stars
And the beating of my heart
Exalted above all
You are
You are
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart
All I am I want to lay down at Your feet 3x
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart 
So, how many of you are going to truly give God all of who you are? How many of you are going to give God everything that you do? How many of you would drop whatever you had to follow God? How many of you will truly let God take you apart?   No really, how many of you will truly let God take you apart? And I know many of you would just jump to say "Yeah. God really take me apart. I want you to take out everything that is not of you. Take me apart. I am giving you Lord all of me". Now really look back at the words. Are you really giving God all of you? Are you?  Now let me ask you this: Are you doing anything with what you are giving to God? If you ask God to take you apart are you doing anything with what he takes away? If God tells you that you need to fix this part of your life, or you need to get rid of this portion of your life, or you need to let this person go, or even you need to stop hanging around this person what would you do?   First instinct is to say: "Oh I would do what God tells me to do." But really how many of you do? Don't we normally sit there and tell ourselves that we actually need what we are holding on to? Don't we normally justify ourselves for whatever that God said needed fixing so that we can just go on with our lives? Now yes there are times when God has told you to do something and you do it right then and there, but really how often do you do that?   Don't you doubt yourself? Fight if that is the right answer? You really put more effort into saying that you should keep it, than give it away. Yeah it is hard to give up things, and yeah we have all been there. But what is the point of holding on to these things if God tells us to let go.    Go back to the beginning of the song now. Read the words, and listen to the song. It talks about how God is the one who created everything and just gives us an image of how powerful God is. So why fight God who created everything. Created time and space and holds the stars. I personally don't think that is someone that we should decide to tell no to.  So instead of making up excuses for holding on to the things that God has told you to let go, let those things go. Lay your life down at God's feet. Give God you all and really let God take you apart. And then act on what God did in your life and capitalize on it. Don't look back, and only look to the future God has in store for you.  -KeymasterPL 

Power

For some reason we just love power. Whatever type of power it is us, as humans, just want to have it and to be the more than anyone else. You want to rise in the ranks until you control the situation. You can't stand having someone else tell you how, or what to do. And really, if we are being truthful we do the same thing with our relationship with God.

Now you might be asking me how do we mix power in with our relationship with God? Well, it is simple. It's our own lives.

Think for a second. How many times has God asked you to do something and you decided to say "No, that is not for me" or "Nah, I think I will be fine if I stay where I am" or "I don't feel comfortable doing that" or "I am not good enough to do something like that"? I would guess a decent amount of times. Now at this point some of you are already knowing where I am going to go with this. That we want to have power over our own lives and that God should truly be the one in power. Like come on, God is never wrong. He did create you, so why should you think that you should be in control of your own lives. Yes, all that is true, and we should be doing those things, but I want to take it all in a different approch.

If you really think about it, we truly do want what God has in store for us. We have read so many stories of what God has done for people in the bible. God has provided in times of need and still does. God protected His children when they needed Him and still does. In our hearts we know that God has the best plan for us, and that we should follow all of His instructions to us. But then where does it all go wrong? Where do we hit the point that we consider our own plans compared to the one God has in store for us? Why can't we just get by the wall that makes us think that we know better and have a better grasp on our lives than God does?

I know I don't have all the answers to every single question and really I only know what I am told by God. And what I have for you all today is that one of the problems that stops us is our mind.

Our mind? How is our mind what is hindering us from doing what God wants us to do? Well, reflect for a moment. Go back to a time when God told you to do something and you decided to say "No, I'm good". Now why did you say that to God? Why did you think that you knew what was going on? Wait a second.... look back at the words: think and knew. Because we thought that we have everything in order. We like it where we are. People refer this to living in your comfort zone. You are comfortable where you are right now and with your walk with God. You are liking how everything is going. If you relationship with God is strong, or if there really isn't a relationship with God you like were you stand.

But stop thinking..... really stop thinking and listen to your heart. Because I bet you that your heart is telling you to get up. Get up and follow the path that God has set before you. It is right there, so take it. Stop thinking that you know what is going on, because that is what gets you in trouble.

Talk to God and listen what He has to say. Going back to two posts ago, it really is that easy to talk to God. There is no special hours that He will only be available. He is waiting for you to talk to Him and to stop thinking, and start going by what is in your heart. Does your heart really want you to do evil? No, your heart wants you to do what Jesus did. Because Jesus lives within your heart. He is always right there, and never lose sight of that. You are never alone, and will never go on this walk alone. Jesus is always right there to help you win the fight.

So go, Go walk the path that you were meant to walk. Go do what you were meant to do. And, never think that you know what is going on. Because we can never understand God. Even though God has, and is the same and will never change, we will still never be able to understand God fully. That is how amazing, and powerful God is. So if we can't understand, then don't try to. Don't think and go on the right path.

Back to Basics

Sometimes it just seems that life is stuck in the same place. You try to push in to seek God with all that you have, but it just seems like you are going nowhere. You do everything that you can think of to get out of this, but nothing works. There are a few times were it seems like you finally made a break out, but then something just comes and brings you back down. You take a step forward, but then it just seems that you fell down 20 steps and now have to work your way back up. Is there anyway to get out of this place that you are in?

Well, yes there is. There are many ways to get out of this place. Prayer, fellowship, and sometimes just keep pushing until you have nothing left to push with. But there is another way to get out of this place, and it is called going back to basics. Now most of you do not get what I mean by this, since this phrase started as an inside joke with my friends, but I will do my best to explain.

What does it mean to go back to basics........ well... simply exactly what it says. You just need to go back to the basics. Go back to certain things that you used to do. Now, you do have to be careful with this and not go back to things that will push you farther down. Go back to the things that brought you up and helped you get the close relationship you had with God.

Now if you are still confused I will give you an example. Today, I went to church. But the difference was that I went to the church that I haven't been to in, well a year to almost be exact. But that isn't the part of me going back to basics. The worship was awesome and the preaching was amazing (we had a guest preacher come in today), but right before the preacher finished he wanted to worship team (the youth band was playing this week) to come back up and play a song. My friend was playing the drumset for worship earlier, but had to leave early (I'm guessing he had to go to work), which meant the worship team didn't have a drumset player. For a little context, I used to be on the worship team at this church before my family decided to go to another church about a year ago. This church is actually the main reason I learned how to play drumset. I wanted to learn so that I could join the worship team at the church I went to. The head of the worship ministry was sitting behind me and I asked if I could step in to help out the worship band. Even though I was gone for a year, she let me go up and play with the worship band (which I didn't even know the song they were playing and I hadn't even heard the song before).

Right when I sat on throne and started to play it felt just like old times. I just played, didn't care how I sounded and just was worshiping God, just like I used to do when I played with that worship band. And really, that is exactly what I needed to get me unstuck. For me, I had to go back to basics.

So now it is your turn. If you are stuck and can't get out then try to go back to something that you really felt God. Whatever it might be. If it is going to a certain place and praying, or going to a certain place and reading your bible. Maybe it is even hanging with a certain group of friends and doing a certain activity. Whatever it is go back to it, because it can get you unstuck and back on track.

Sometimes we make things way too complicated and because of this never are able to get out. But, just as the inside joke started, sometimes you just need to go back to the basics. So try it. Go Back to the Basics.

If Only It Were That Easy

How many times in your life have you said that?

If only it were that easy.

All you have to do is this and this.

If only it were that easy. 

Once this is done that can happen.

If only it were that easy.

I wish this could happen.

If only it were that easy.

Now you might be asking yourself at this point:

"Why is Key saying this?"

 The answer is simple, because we do this in our walk with God.

How many times have you told yourself :

It would be so easy if I could just ask God about this. 

But wait a sec...... it is that easy. It is easy enough to say:

Hey God, what do you think about me doing this?

or

Hey God, what should I do today?

or

Hey God, how should I go about doing this?

Then why don't be just do these things? Then why do we feel that we can't just ask God these simple questions and expect God to answer. Do we think that God will only answer what we call "big" or "important" questions. All the time we ask our friends about their opinion on certain items throughout our life, but why can't we ask God those same question?

Well, we actually can ask God those question, but how many of us would actually do that? How many people would ask God:

What should I get for dinner?

Now before everyone jumps up and says that they would I want you to think about something. Many people talk about how close their relationship is with God and how God is the one they go to for everything. But is that true.

Say an issue pops up in your life. Some examples would be: friend goes missing, relationship ends, family isn't getting along, car broke down, got into an accident, you broke something, or something just ended up breaking that was important. How many people would bring these things to God first. And before you jump up and say you would, think. The last time something like this happened to you who was the first person you talked to? God? A family member? A friend? And be real with yourself. Who did you really go to first. I know most of you want to say God just to make you seem like an awesome amazing Christian. But who did you really go to first.

I know that in my life when issues have come up I haven't always gone to God first. I sometimes go and tell a friend to get advice from them. Or I would tell my brother or my parents to see what they had to say. Then I would remember that God has the right answer and then listen to Him. I can give you an example which just recently happened in my life. My girlfriend broke up with me a few weeks ago and the first person I told or said anything to was one of my friends. I called him up and told him what happened and we talked for a bit. The next thing I did was text some of my other friends, who were sleeping since it was 3am. Then I finally started to talk to God about the whole thing. Even though a lot of it was me getting over the emotions of it all I still turned to my daddy and lifted my arms saying "Pick me up and hold me."

But just look at that situation. I have God right in front of me, but turn to the side to talk to my friends about everything before I ask God to hold me and comfort me. Does anyone other than me find that wrong? That is like saying a baby is crying because something happened and the baby's parents are right there waiting for their child to ask them to pick him up. But instead the baby decided to go for a walk and then come back to his parents later to be picked up. How many babies would do that? In reality, the baby would just go straight to their parents because that is where the comfort is.

Then that brings up another question, where is the comfort in your life? Where do you turn to when something bad happens? Personally I usually turn to friends, music, and God. And sometimes it is in that order while other times it is music, God, friends. And in some, and I mean some, occasions it has been God, friends/music. In my life my comfort comes from telling my friends what happened and listening to music before going to those warm and comfortable arms. But why? Why do I like to run away from the comfort for such a long time? It is the same reason why we all run away from the comfort, because we like to deal with the issue on our own, or would rather go to others for advice on the issue.

Now I want you all to do an exercise. Go into your phone and look at the person you call the most and then the person that you text the most. Do that for the top 5 people. Those are the people that you are in a relationship with. Those 5, or more depending on if you text some people more than call them. Now, think about how many times you talk to God. Compare that to the people who you call and text the most. Now, which one is greater. Do you talk to God more than you talk/text people? Or does God go under your top 5? Now do the same exact thing with items. Which items do you look at the most compared to how many times you look towards God each day.

Now it all comes back to why we don't go to God first. Why, because our relationship is with other people or other things than with God. And if you don't believe me just look back at your results from the exercise above and make sure that you are being truthful about your results.

God should always come first, and I mean always. I know there are times in my life that He hasn't been first. And those times are not the best times. Many mistakes are made when other things and other people are put before God. We just have to have faith that God knows what He is doing.... because He does. We need to stop living our lives with us controlling the future, and let God control the future.

Think about it like this:

When something happens, instead of picking up your phone and calling one of your friends, how about pick up the phone and just talk to God. Don't call anyone using the phone, just get into a conversation with God. Who ever said we couldn't call God? We are.

So now when something happens think about it in a new way.

I just want to pick up the phone and call God to ask him a question. If only it were that easy.... oh wait a second. It really is that easy. So then, go and pick up your phone and give God a call. He has been waiting for your call, and the line will never be busy when you call God.

Feelings

Feelings are something that everyone has, and each person uses their emotions to a different extent. Some people express themselves one way, such as being loud and letting everyone know what they think on a subject, while other people like to keep their emotions to themselves or close their emotions from everyone. Yet, even though most of the time we don't know, are emotions actually radiate out of us and affect others around, not just yourself.

For example, if you have high energy all the time while you are with a group of people, slowly the others in the group will start to chime in with the high energy. Then everyone is cracking jokes and having a good time with one another. On the polar opposite side of the spectrum, if you are really quiet, or have low energy then the others around you will start to chime in with your quietness or lack of energy. Then everyone will not talk to each other and keep to themselves or every comment becomes serious and not jokes can be made.

The true challenge with these feeling is discerning which feels are acceptable to keep feeling for long periods of time and which are not. But, in discerning lies another issue, our emotions. Our emotions can get in the way, sometimes, with what the actual outcome that God give us. For example, you caused a car accident two years ago and you still feel utter regret. You might discern that it is OK to feel that way because it will make you be a safer driver and pay more attention while on the road. Truthfully, God is actually telling you that you need to give that to him because you shouldn't be holding on to something such as that. The true test is to push through the emotions, and get to the actual answer God wants you to hear.

Just take some time today. Talk to God, and put all your emotions on the side. Ask God when you misheard Him, and then ask for forgiveness. We all have misheard God in our lifetime, but that doesn't mean we should never acknowledge it. The first half or forgiveness is acknowledging that you did something wrong and really feeling bad about it. Then, you ask God to forgive you for what you have done. After you have had that talk with God, then ask Him to help you hear his voice clearer than you hear it now. And that if you discern incorrectly to let you know. Lastly, ask God to do the same to everyone that you come in contact with. Let those people hear His voice clearer. And if they discern what God is saying then ask Him to let them know.


God Bless

Some thoughts

It's funny how life just takes turns that we really don't like to happen. A death in the family, a friend dies, a car breaks down, house catches on fire, a relationship go south and to two push each other out of their lives, just a bad relationship in general. Most of these things happen without our control at all. We can't control when a family member passes away. We can't control if a part in your car fails and you are left stranded in the middle of nowhere. But, we can control how relationships go.

Being in a relationship is a tricky thing, because our emotions will get the best of us. We think that we are doing the right things but everything changes. The relationship only works when the two members are with each other and when distance comes into the equation everything falls apart. But all these things can be controlled and avoided with the focus being in the right place. With God.

The main issue when it comes to relationships is that an event happens and one side works to try to get everything to be ok. They devote themselves to try to get everything back to order and end up becoming obsessed with the other. There lies the whole problem, putting the other in front of God in your life. God should always be first, no matter what happens and no matter who you meet/are with. But, be aware that listening to God also becomes a troublesome subject.

Even if we think we have everything under control, our emotions will end up making us think we know what God wants for us. We think that God is saying one thing, when He could be saying the other. It can make us come to conclusions that God did not say at all, just because our emotions get in the way. We have to make sure that God has control of our emotions and make sure that God has that in check. Keep God first, and make sure that God has complete control of your life.

Now comes the really hard part, issues. Many times when issues come up relationships just fall apart and end. Some relationships will take some issues but when a huge issue comes along will fall. Other relationship will always persist and will be able to get through all issues. The main point is to let God help you get these issues fixed, and fixed the way God wants them and not the way we want them fixed.

Ok, now if the relationship is still going you need to make sure that God is really at the center of everything. Keep making sure that God is always first, and the other is not. But if the relationship goes down the drain then many different outcomes can come.

The two break off fine and everything is well between them

 The two have a horrible break up and never talk to each other and resent each other for the rest of their lives.

The two are ok with the break up, still feel emotional pain from the separation but are able to move on with everything being fine. Maybe a little distance is created to give each party some times but then all normal actions occur after.

The two are ok with the break up, still feel emotional pain from the separation but are able to move on with everything being fine. But, they decided the the only way for things to come back to a friendship is to completely start over as if they never met before. Basically pushing each other away, not talking, not communicating, until their paths finally meet again.

With any of these outcomes (which there are more that can happen) we have to remember that God will make everything well with time. It might not be anything you expect it to be between the two, but it will be what God wants it to be. You just have to remember one thing if a relationship fails.

Always give God the glory.

From Facing the Gaints

If we win, we give God the glory. And if we lose, we give God the glory.

No matter what happens God should get the Glory. God loves you, and He will help you through any hard times that are ahead of you.

A Few Questions

When is the last time someone asked you to give up everything you had to do something? When is the last time that you actually did drop all that you had to do something or follow someone?

Now take these questions and rely them to your faith. When you accepted Jesus in your life did you give up everything you had to follow him, or did you just make Jesus fit your life? Do you follow what God has to say or do you just follow what God says when it fits what you want? Now, are you willing to drop everything you have to follow Jesus right now at this very moment. If Jesus said drop your job, family, and house to follow Him would you? If you answer no, then why? Are you to comfortable where your life is right now to care what Jesus has to tell you?


Just take some time to go over the questions, and see where your life falls.

The Mind

The mind is a strong and powerful thing. Something that contains so much, but doesn't show it half of what it can do. The mind has so much potential, but doesn't use it. And yet, our minds meld us to who we are. Or is it the other way around? Do we actually meld our minds by are actions and words? 

Well if you speak something then that thing will come to pass. The melding of the mind is a lifelong process that never stops. Ever wonder why you change throughout the years? Well this is because your mind has melded to a new state. But you have to be careful what you let your mind change to. Your mind can play tricks on you. Some people even say that our worst enemy is our own mind. 

Why you might ask.

With all the potential that our minds have we frequently will over think or under think situations that come our way. Because of this your mind can lead you into some serious trouble. This includes a change of focus, a loss of interest in things, a loss of energy so that you are always tired, and can even go as far as thoughts to kill yourself. These thoughts occur at different times in your life based on what changes your mind has gone through.

So what do we have to do to make sure our mind doesn't change to this bad state?

If you speak against your mind of these terrible things then they will not come to pass. Yet, remember that you might have to say it more than once. Sometimes you have to constantly say to yourself “Lord get these thoughts out of my head as they are not of you" for these thoughts to completely go away.

Also make sure that if you say something, then take action on what you said (unless what you speak will end up bringing pain to yourself). If you speak something do what you said you were going to do. If you don't, you might disappoint someone, or even disappoint yourself.

Also remember this about Random Thoughts.

Random things that pop-up in your mind. Set a control of what you let come out, and actually ponder about. We need not let certain thoughts come fully develop as those thoughts can cause corruption. Corruption is something that must be avoided at all costs. Putting a watch over your thoughts is something that you have to do in your everyday lives, or you might regret what you said to someone. Don't be one of those people, focus and pay attention before you say something, or just pay attention to what you think about. Your thoughts can end up controlling how you act. Let you thoughts be pure, then your actions will be pure, and your life will slowly turn to being pure.

The Wind

The wind has been blowing. It has seemed like this wind has been blocking you from reaching your true goal. You fight and fight against the wind until you have no more energy. You give all that you are trying to push against this wind. You finally get to a point were you think that you have almost reached your goal, but the wind gets stronger. You give up and just sit down because what else can you do. Well there is one thing that you have been missing this whole time. You need to take your wings and let the wind take you where you are supposed to go. Stop fighting to get something that was never meant for you to have. Stop putting your energy into something without a reward. Take up your wings and fly away.Fly to the depths that God has intended for you. Reach the unattainable height you never thought possible. Now you are not fighting alone because you have the best back-up ever know. God. So fly, and let God's wind take you to the right place.

Getting Back to Why I Created this Blog in the First Place

Looking back it has been too long since I posted something on here in which was suppose to be on here. This blog was not meant to say how I am doing and such, so those post have now been deleted. This blog was always just meant to be about things that God has given me that I want to give you.

So, time to get back to the basics:

Time

Time is something that has been flying at the speed of light for ages now. Never knowing when it will slow down or speed up. Time just keeps flying by as if you were watching a high speed train go by.

Just like time, your life seems to be on this high speed train that just speeds up without an end. Yet, everything seems to be just fine since the track is completely straight. But, what happens when the high speed train of your life gets to a corner? The train is going to fast for the corner and the train derails. Now time seems to be lost and everything around starts to crumble. Then you want time to reverse itself so that you can slow the train down before the turn. But is that the real solution to the situation that you are in? No. You need to get on new tracks that will take your life in a different direction. One that time will speed up when needed and slow down when needed. Its time to get on the tracks that God has set for you, and get God be the conductor so that your life doesn't derail.

Let God be the One where most of your time goes. Stop sitting in front of the TV all day or watch videos on Youtube, or do other events that are meaningless and get into God's word. Spend your time in a way that will be beneficial to you, not just entertain you.
