The Fear of the Lord

Good Morning :)

I'm enjoying a nice ice coffee right now, but I have a few words to share..

  Young people, we have to walk in the fear of the Lord. We all say we love Jesus, but how do we back that up? John 14:15, "If you love me, KEEP my commandments" So it's more than words. More than just saying we do love him, but showing it. Showing it through word and deed :) Praise him through our actions, seeking his face EVERY day. Desire to be more like him, to allow him to mold us. Yesterday, Bro. P.J. White preached an awesome message, reminding us that there are so many people that believe in us, (Parents, Church family, etc.) But we have to have faith also and mix it with theirs..We have to do our share of spiritual lifting. Live for God! There is no other life worth living. During alter call yesterday, I was praying and I basically told God that this was it. This is why I'm here, called to be his servant. That his will is what I want, not the foolishness of this world.

Mathew 16:26, "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"


That verse is tough medicine :) What would we trade it all for? What are we giving in exchange for God? What do we feel is more important? The answer should be, Nothing. Take this whole world and give me Jesus! 


Have a great day :)

Part of the human experience...

Hello :)


So I was thinking....why do we sometimes fear failure? fear messing things up or letting someone down? I read a quote a long time ago... 


"You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take"


-Wayne Gretzky


Pause and dwell on that for a second. Nobody likes that "Wow, I missed out" Feeling... When a friend asks, "why didn't you go?" or "why didn't you say something". We hold back and later regret it. We don't want to admit we were scared...Weather it be fear of the outcome, or someones reaction. Honesty is always the healthy option because it levels everything. I have my share of "what if" moments. Don't dwell on the past but live and LEARN :) There will be plenty of more opportunities that will come along. Moving forward and keeping that in that mind. So take the shot ;)


Have a blessed day :)

51st state?!

Hello there!


Work Update


I got a new scanner *Thumbs Up* But there is a downside, it looks extremely delicate! I installed the software. It's scans both sides automatically. No big deal right? WRONG. lol! This is quite helpful :) and will save me lots of time. Thus bumping my efficiency level, up several notches. Also, a week or so ago, we had someone try and break into the building. Ha! (Good luck with that). The bandits managed to do a little damage to the front entrance, but that's about it. I should of took a picture of the door but I didn't want to interfere with the "Crime Scene" investigation. lol

It's weighs like less than a pound 0_o

Moving along...


Tomorrow,


Lord willing, I am planning on going down to "Down" Town L.A. I'm getting a new suit! Not sure on the color but it's going to be a gift from my mom :) So that's where you can find me. lol


Coffee,


Don't drink it as often anymore, I'm slowly trying to remove it from my diet all together. I DON'T need it =,( 


Summer,


Enjoy it while you can, September is just around the corner. That means the kids (including my siblings) will be going back to school =D, No I'm not that mean. But seriously, it's almost up. 


Southern California?


A county supervisor is trying to form the 51st state, how? By seceding a section of California!


includes; Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono). As of right now it's just a proposal and seems out of reach. So why? The supervisor proposed this in response to Gov. Jerry Brown signing the states new legislation. The proposal aims to avoid many of these cities from filling for bankruptcy.   


Quote of the day: 


"So where is he going to put the capital? Disneyland?"


 -Robert Walsh. 




Okay so, one last thing...It was nice having the Wakefields in town! It's okay, I get homesick too lol :)


have a great weekend and stay away from the 405 freeway! lol :)

Wow, here so soon!

Good Morning :)

I'm enjoying my last day as a 20 year old, can't believe how quickly time passes by. So the quote of the day should be, "Time waits for no man" lol This will be a rather simple post. For today only, I'm going to refrain from discussing the usual deep profound topics Lol :) For all the youngster's who "Can't wait to get older", be careful what you wish for. haha Looking back, it feels like yesterday. My friends and I couldn't wait till Friday pizza day at school. Painting on canvases and having your teacher read to you a Romona story. Also, the warning sticker on my mom's car.
                                                                                                      


                                                             

I deeply disliked this sticker, I never was able to ride in the front.

My Personal Fav.

It's really not that bad lol I can't wait to CELEBRATE =D

Have a great day!
