I just have to gloat on the cleverness of Christ!! I am sitting here just thinking about a lot of different things, thankfully they were mostly about Christ and my love for Him and His love for me! Which, is just amazing to begin with! Then to my surprise at the end of my wonderfully BORING day (I was shut up in a boring office cross-training AGAIN!) that my brother Lance and I were thinking along the same lines of Christ today!! How COOL is that?! I will link over to his post for everyone to read http://un2him.blogspot.com/2008/09/spurgeon.html.
To start with, we have been doing a weekly reading of a wonderful yet challenging book entitled "Thoughts for Young Men" by J.C. Ryle. This book is pretty much amazing! It's a little difficult to read at times because of the way they wrote and even spoke back in the 1800s. Anyway, our reading last week focused on striving to have a relationship with Christ. We should be constantly thinking about how to build that relationship with Christ. How can you not be following Christ's teaching and not have a relationship with Him?! Isn't obedience to the Father a relationship in itself?!
So, as I was pondering this subject matter my brain started to think about when we Christians hear a message and just blatantly ignore what Christ is teaching us!! If we are not building that relationship and obeying Him and His word what will happen to us?!? First off we will be held accountable to everything that happens here on earth ESPECIALLY with what we take in as Christians. Don't we all want to hear those words when we arrive in glory "Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your master". THEN we have the so called "Christians" who go to church are under the teaching of Christ and do absolutely nothing with their lives that is godly whatsoever!! And the words that will strike you to the core "Depart from ME, I knew you not!" Yikes, is the word that comes to mind there!!
Brother and sisters listen to the words of YOUR Father, just as it says in proverbs, bind them around your neck and keep them close to your heart!!
SO! with this I stand with a smirk across my face at how clever our God is!! That he would make two people think upon the same thing and focus on that the whole day!!
Thank you God for YOUR truth and YOUR faithfulness in ALL THINGS!!! Thank you for sending YOUR only son to die for the sins of the world! Thank You for YOUR timing and wondeful sense of humor! How humbling it is!

Just another manic Monday!
Alright, well this is just going to be A LOT of rambling today!
We will start with this morning:
Why are smart dogs so STUPID!? WHY?! I always feel bad when I have to get onto or pretty much spank my dog for something she has already been in trouble for!! Adili has recently taking to chewing things and when I got home last Saturday I found out that she had chewed a spot on the base board in the area where she is blocked up. Lance of course popped her good for that BUT this morning outside my bedroom where she is locked up I could hear the loud, annoying scraping of teeth on wood! I sprang from my bed quickly and of course spanked and got onto her for this. THEN, as I am finishing getting ready I hear the noise AGAIN and take it, it's been let's see 20 maybe 25 minutes later, BOY was I not happy!! SO, here go again with the spanking and repremanding!! I mean how can a dog so smart be so stupid!! I mean does she seriously enjoying being spanked?!? Well into her crate she went for the day....
Now it's off to work, I make it in a breeze to work, gwaking at the crazy folk for waiting in line because " OH GOSH THERE IS NO GAS!!" Seriously people COME ON!!!
Back to work----> Work has been decent even though I have been in the downstairs office doing cross training for my branch, having no human interaction except through comment conversations on here and a few texts from my brothers!! I do have to say thank you to the Lord for this day b/c if I was not down here I would not have been able to talk about Him with my brothers. Lance and Christopher, I appreciate you guys so much! reading these blogs and where your hearts are is so awesome!! Thank you for bring my mind and my heart right back to the heart of worship!! SO I sit here quietly all day pondering the awesomeness of our Father!! Also every now then breaking out into a few hymns and songs because the acoustics are excellent down here!! Praise the Lord for that! SO I say thank you Father for my brothers who love You as much as I do and for keeping me accountable and focused on you all the time!!! I thank you for saving them and molding them like You!!
Now...I have finished my little finals in my training to much stern talking to the computer for now being fast enough or not doing what I want it do! So... it's time to go home! WAHOO!!
Although I am not looking forward to see what Adili will get into this evening! HAHA!
To the praise of His GLORIOUS name!!

I Will Lift My Eyes
Occasionally I will put lyrics to my favorite songs on here!! One of my all time is this song by Bebo Norman!
I WILL LIFT MY EYES By Bebo Norman
Oh God, my God, I cry out, Your beloved needs You now
God, be near calm my fear and take my doubt
Your kindness is what pulls me up, Your love is all that draws me in
I will lift my eyes to the Maker of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You!
Oh God, my God, let mercy sing her melody over me
and God, right here all I bring is all of me
Your kindness is what pulls me up Your love is all that draws me in
I will lift my eyes to the Maker of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
Cause You are and You were and You will be forever
the Lover I need to save me
Cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God so hold me now....
I will lift my eyes to the Maker of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
Oh God, my God, I cry out Your beloved needs You now

I will lift my eyes to the Calmer of the oceans raging wild

Giving in...
So..welcome! I am not a big talker or typer for that matter BUT I have given in to the peer pressures of my brother Lance to Blog! i'm not really sure what I can, or will discuss on this. I am sure you will read of some interesting things, especially related to my job. The desk I currently sit out it pretty much out in the open of things and i see A LOT, seriously A LOT of interesting people and things through out my day!! Anyway, I hope you will enjoy thing serious yet extremely sacastic look into my life!
OH! I forgot, I do need to be serious for a little bit! I do hope that My life can reflect the awesomness of our savior and father Jesus Christ. I will be putting up my personal testimony about how the Lord pulled me out of the sin and awefulness that my life was in and was running to, how He pulled me out and saved me!! My sin which was once dark and crimson red is now white as freshly fallen snow! Just to think about what one man had to do for His chosen! Our Father sent down his only son to live a PERFECT, SPOTLESS, BLAMELESS life!! An awesome example to follow!! Then to have his only son, be ridiculed, spit upon, beaten and nailed to a cross to die for me and my sins and the sins of the world!!! How can you not want to love and believe in a God, a man like that?! AWESOME!!
I do hope you all enjoy this!
IN CHRIST ALONE!!
