What if...

What if God was here with me sitting right beside me right now? Would my speech be different? My actions? My thoughts? I dare to say that I am a hundred percent positive that they would be...Why can't I live my life like He is...Cause He is! He is right beside me each and every step that I take throughout the day; He is beside me when I act a certain way, and maybe most important He is in my head and knows exactly what I think even though I think no one will ever know...God does. I want to live everyday like He is right with me. I need to live everyday like He is...Oh God give me strength to live for you each and everyday....

The CHAMPION!

Every year around Easter I always see things about an Easter bunny and eggs and candy. And while all of those things are well and good, I just think we miss the bus entirely on this one...me included. The real meaning of Easter really means more to me then any job I could get or anything that could ever happen to me in my life...because this one single solitary act has changed my life. 2,000 years ago when my Savior and Lord died on the cross of Calvary was when I really became free. Free from sin, free from pain, and free from death. When I think about this time there is a few things I say and want to say to Jesus...I want to say thank you first and foremost. I know my actions, thoughts, and words don't do you justice in how my life should be lived. And still you came and died. I know that when I am on the golf course and I hit a bad shot and I mutter those few words under my breath that was just another whip across your back...but yet you still came and died. For all of the times like these where I let you down and don't deserve your grace and mercy, but yet you receive me as your own anyway....I say THANK YOU! I know I don't deserve it. I know I deserve death, Hell, and eternal separation from You. But I know that through Jesus I have overcome the grave because he has, I have overcome the powers of Hell because He did first, I have overcome eternal separation from You and been placed into eternal life with you, ONLY because Jesus made a way for me. God, I know that tomorrow on Easter I will probably let you down in more then 1 way, but in advance I want to say that I am sorry, and I ask that you will continue to work in my life, and give me the strength to overcome things like that. I need now more then ever!! Be every present and near. God, be the CHAMPION in my life like you were 2,000 years ago on that cross...Please....God...be more in my life!!
Amen-

The Master's Hands!

Well this weekend was not what I expected it to be, it started out like any other weekend. I got up around 11 on Friday went to play racket ball at the Rec Center with Devan and then on to play some ball with my friends. That's when things got a little painful...I ended up popping my knee cap out of place playing ball, and I have to say it was prolly the worst pain I have felt in my life. But as I was wheeling  into the hospital on the stretcher I thought to myself why me...why is this happening to me!?!? I got the answer about 6 hours later after I got my knee popped back into place and moved to a room out of the ER. As I was wheeled into the room on the board was a list that had the doctors, nurses, and PCTs that were on call for that shirt...but at the very bottom was the answer to my question that I had 6 hours earlier...it said GOD IS IN CONTROL! And I knew that no matter what happened from then on out it was all apart of His divine plan and that my knee was in His Hands, and that he knew exactly what was going to happen to me from then on out. So as I stayed over night in the hospital doctors came in periodically to check on me to make sure I was fine, and he looked at my knee and said I have a pretty strong feeling that you may have torn your ACL. BUT God yet again showed his power and mercy...the MRI scan came back negative for a torn ACL...so the prayers worked, and it just goes to show that everything that is going on with my life right now is truly in the Master's Hands. And that no matter what I have to go through, I wont go at it alone...
