Sometimes bad things need to happen....

Sometimes bad things need to happen before the blessings in life can come. I used to think that that only happened in movies and books, but i realized that it happens in life too.

A Poem Can Change A Person's Day...

So yea i write poems but i really just show them to certian people, sorry to those who usually dont read them... dont be mad just some are personal and some well i might share someday. So i was doing my bible report with one of my friends and they were telling me how they were stuggling with God and how sometime He doesnt answer our prayers. Well them day before (05.13.09) i found a poem i wrote in 08' and had forgotten about well i had printed it out and i showed it to her and she was almost in tears. She asked where i got and i said i wrote it... she just sat in shock for a moment... i never thought one of my poems who change or help someone else. I have given them or shown them to some and they rejected them.
Know that the moment has passed i do believe God gave this to both of us me and my friend. I have written may of poems and well they usually help me and from my friends i get oh thats good... but never had i been shaken and realized that these could mean something to someone just like songs are meaningful to me....

I have realized a lot this past month and well He gives us things to be thankful for each day even if we dont see them and are blinded by the temptations of the devil...

Learned

I have learned over these past weeks that you can pretend that you are giving something to God because it doesnt work that way. I made myself think that i really did give it to God, but i relized that i really didnt and i was holding on. That is when i finally put myself in check and whenever the thing came up i would pray about and tell God to have his will be done. Another thing i learned is that God doesnt always take things away or gives us things when we asked some times we need thoughs things. Some times they are part of God's plan for our lives. Know i pray that his will be done and that if its his will to take or leave it, it is his choice and i will give it to him either way even when its hard to give it up. An example would be giving up the best and last cookies in the world. Would you give it to God?

My Major Spiritual Awaking '09

People are going to HELL and its real! Yes you are probably saying come on I have heard this before why hear it again. Yes I grew up knowing Heaven and Hell but on April 20 and 21, 2009 it became real. I realized that some people that I know, if they died right now I would never see them again.
So imagine this: Your best friend died, now it’s bad enough when they died, say they weren’t Christian and after death you never would see them again and knew that you could have stopped that. That if you could have shared Christ to them you would be able to see them after death and could be with them FOREVER in heaven… Forever!
I go every Tuesday to this meeting and we aren’t allowed to talk about Religion. Some people said that they have never really been religious person and they are nice and kind. I thought while I was sitting there listening that if they were to die tonight or sometime in the next week I would probably never see them again NEVER… I know a lot of you have heard this over and over again but we need to keep hearing it. Sometimes we can’t go out and preach to people but what we can do is pray. I asked God to help me a while ago because I wasn’t really good at praying and usually wouldn’t and He has shown me that I can pray for people across the world even if I can’t preach to them. I can pray for people here in this room, I can pray that God can use me as light to His people, I can do that. I knew all this and all of you probably have too but it has finally become real… people are going to HELL everyday and if I can take at least 5min. to pray for those who I love and want to see again then what is God going to say when I stand before him? He died for my sins and I couldn’t take 5 min. out of my day to pray… I used to hear these stories and I wanted it to happen to me… and now that it has I can see how people have been moved I can see how people have changed.
I asked myself the question ‘People are going to Hell everyday what can I do? WHAT CAN WE DO? We can pray… I used to think yea ok pray but know I have learned that God is working in me and helping me to grow… If I knew I would never see my friends again ever ever again and I could have stopped it by at least planting the seed why wouldn’t I? It’s their choice but at least I tried and planted the seed, Its amazing how God works in people… the part in the song where it say I was blind but know I see… I was blind, like parents say its right there in front of your face, it was staring right at me… right there! But know I see, I see it even if I have been learning it all my life it took me awhile to finally see what it means… HELL IS REAL AND PEOPLE GO THERE EVERYDAY…. PEOPLE THAT I KNOW COULD GO THERE NOW, TONIGHT, TOMORROW…..ANYTIME...

I PRAY I CAN SHARE AND THAT GOD CAN GIVE ME THE COURAGE TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT MY FAITH AND THAT I MAY SEE THEM IN HEAVEN… THAT GOD WILL SHINE HIS LIGHT THROUGH ME AND OTHERS AND THAT HE WILL PROVIDE A TIME WHEN WE ARE TO SHARE….

Please if you have any prayers I would be glad to keep you in my prayers…

Pull me aside and say can you pray for this…

Be joyful always; pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

(trust me I still need to practice the ‘give thanks in all circumstances’ part)
