ok then... it is time for a new post and I think that I will write about a hot dog that I ate the other day.... but wait....I didn't eat one of those the other day so now I am just in the dark about everything! Dangit!
Ok never mind.. forget all that..let me start over... Ok, so im in todd's 'arffice' (for all you homestar runner fans...) typing away on his comp... loooking at the keyboard as i do so by the way... I can type like this, but it just takes me a lil longer, cause I am not really used to it.. so I am going to go back to this type of type... ;-) lol im so funny.. ooooooooooookay.....riiiiiiight...... ok what to talk about... um Life is kinda chill I guess... I got a 76 on my history mid term tho..... :-( but i am actually happy, cause the class average was 42.72... SO!! i really can't complain! well, i mean i could, but what good would it do me and then i would just be a whiner, and ya'll would shun me or something... ;-) hehe oooohhh.....its now 6:27.. lol but its ok, ill be just a lil late for church.. you know, make a fashion statement and all........by being a lil late..... yah, I think that that is called soemthing, but i'm not sure what... You know, this is gonna be another one of those posts that Diane just CAN'T read all the way through! just cause it is soooooo boring in her book.... actually, i don't think tghat any of you will get through this thing.. :-)
lets see....Ok, I would like to take a monent to say that....uhhh... yeah never mind.. i actually wasn't going to say anything.. :-) ok ill catch you all later...
loves
Ok so I now know for sure what my gift of discernment is for.... It was given to me so that I can know when, and what about, to pray for people without them even saying.. and not only that, but to also for sure get others involved in praying as well... well anyways, as many of you know, i first realized, with the help of Todd, at SLC, what this gift was... I had been experiencing it at work with this one person, but i had no idea that it was anything... just thought I was feeling sorry for the person that was going trough a lil bit of a rough relationship... so anyways yah... I would ask all of you to join me in praying for this girl at TCC... I have never met her. Never even spoken to her.. I did not know her name till today, when someone told me that they think it is Brandy... so anyways.. I have seen Brandy there for a couple semesters.. And back then, me and someone else, jokingly nicknamed her "Miss In-control" cause she always looks so confident, so together, so to-her-self because she has no reason to talk to other people that she doesn't know.. and this is what everyone sees her as... But as I watched her today, she looked just the same. in control of everything, together, with it, just fine. But I saw her differently. the outside mask was suddenly stripped away, and I saw this girl, so lonely, so insecure, just wanting someone to love her for who she is, rather than who he is because he is with her...SO to cover up how insecure and lonely she is, she puts on this face off having it all together, and that she doesn't need anyone.. But in her eyes there was such pain and just a sense of complete, "lostness", not knowing what to do.. Now she has this boyfriend, who's facebook profile says somethin as follows: "yeah, my girlfriend is fine isn't she? and she looks great naked. So stay off b**ches...."
Thats the love that she has found..that is what she is trying to fill the whole in her heart with.. he only likes her for who she makes him, because he is dating her.
What i see is just that she wants to be loved for who she is..not what she is..she is searching, I can see that.. She needs Christs love. the love that can make her feel beautiful, that can make her full... The ONLY love that will fill the lonelyness and longing inside of her.. He, Jesus Christ, is what she is searching for.. She just doesn't know it... He ahs the EXACT kind of love that she is longing for... the kind of love that will give her meaning in life... the kind of love that can change the world...
Now like i said, i have NEVER even spoken to her.. but i am commiting to praying for her untill i see God do something in her life.. so i ask that you all will pray with me on this.. pray that God wil continue to touch her heart, and that He will begin to show her that it is His love that she needs and wants... And pray for me, that I wil be willing to be used by God in whatever way he will in this situation... I would Love to see this girl come out of a life of sinfull nothingness, and into the light of life that comes from her Savior Jesus Christ...Who when He hung on that Cross, He thought of her.. he thought of how precious she is to Him, and of the fact that He was about to give His life, so that she might have LIFE... Pray that somehow someone, (be it me or someone else..i don't care. all i want is to see her come to Christ.. I want NO glory.. if i could just be completely unseen in the back, just as a prayer warrior for her soul.. then i will choose that.. however I am willing to be the administrator of the love of Christ to her) so pray that somehoe, someone would be able to show her just what Christ thought as He hung on the cross, and died for her... and if i be the means that God uses to bring her to Him, then pray for me that I would be able to let Christ speak through me, and that i would have the courage to, throught the strength of Christ, go against all the powers of this world, and the powers of the devil, that want to keep her from the truth..
I have no idea why God chooses to do the things that He does... all I know is that he gave me a look into the heart of a hurting girl, and then from there, let me decide if i was gonna do anything about it.. at first i just thought, 'oh.. huh, yah she seems lost and insecure behind her mask.. but what am I gonna do about it...' but through that day, as I was at Kenley's house working, God kept bringing to my mind that, Hey, I could pray for her... and so i told God, that yeas i could, and i would.. so I am just asking all of you to join me in it.. I have no idea how long it will take... we may never even see the results untill we get to heavan and look over to see her standing there before her Savior, cleansed and forgiven... In which arriving there, was in no small part due to the faithfull prayers of His saints.. Ok, well i think you are prolly about to die drom reading so much, so i will leave you with this.. it says in the Bible, that the ear of the Lord is attentive to the prayers of the righteous.... so let us pray with hearts full of the spirit of the Living God! I love you guys, hasta la pasta.
Ohh! well I should be studying Geo right now... But seeing as how I was not able to get the text book that I need to study the material from for the test tomorrow... I'm just gonna post, and then study my notes that I have from that class... so anyways.. It will all be good.. :-) YAY! WOOT!! Woohoo!! la lala.... Ok yeah... anyways.. its not really a big deal tho... cause this class is uber easy..
So anyways... hrmm, yah as I heard this song on the radio at Kenley's Cumberland house today.... lol yes. This is gonna be another "What God taught James today while working at Kenley's..." so if you don't care to hear about that, then you can stop reading now.. caues that is what it is from here on out.. :-) Ok anyways.. so I've been thinking about Nicole's 2nd to last post lately.. the one about Loving people like Jesus would... and I've come to a few conclusions.. but before I can say all that, I need for you all to see this song by Jeremy Camp real quick.. You all have heard it and prolly know it well..
In only a moment truth was seen
Revealed this mystery
The crown that showed no dignity he wore
And the king was placed for all the world to show disgrace
But only beauty flowed from this place
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
He held the weight of impurity
The Father would not see
The reasons had finally come to be, to show
The depth of His grace flowed with every sin erased
He knew that this was why he came
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
And we just don't know
The blood and water flowed
And in it all He showed
Just how much He cared
And the veil was torn
So we could have this open door
And all these things have finally been complete
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands,
From his hands, from his hands, from his hands...
Ok, wow... yeah, that is loving like Jesus. Something we must ask our selves... WOULD you take His place? Would you be willing to sacrifice everything for the lives of other people...people that hated you. would you be willing to say: Ok, my plans for a career, my plans to get married, my relationsip with my girlfriend/boyfriend is not as important to me than the lives of all the other people in the world that don't even know you exist. and when you die for them they still won't know that you had just saved them... their lives will go on because of you. but they will not care nor pay it any heed... And they will reject your sacrifice when they find out about it, and say, What a fool! Knowing this, now would you let someone put you up against a wooden wall, and hammer NAILS through your wrists, and then through the bone of your feet...crushing and splintering it as the metal spikes go through... and then you will hang there bleeding to death... unable to breath because your arms are stretched above you so tightly...the only way to then get a breath, is to push your WHOLE body weight aginst that nail that has stapled your feet to the wall. Now when the pressure is off your arms, you can take a gasping breathe... Then the pain of holding your self up against the steel of the nails through your feet, becomes too much, you let your self fall... but your do not fall for long...You are caught with a JOLT by the nails in your wrists...they tear and RIP the wholes in your arms even more as you come to a sudden stop... the pain is SO much at times, that that you nearly pass out... In this condition you will hang...by the nails...for HOURS, untill finally...your drown...yes you will drown...not in water... in air... you will try to breath, but the pain of pushing yourself up is now too much to even bear... and so you let yourself sufocate..
Would you take the place of this man? Would you? for to be willing to do this, is to love like Christ... Sounds impossible, right? Well on our own it is... Without the spirit of God in us, breaking away our selfish nature, we would not be able to do this.. Why? because it would be against everything that made sense to us... what would convince us to do it? gun point? No, of coarse not! Shoot me instead... Only the supernatural LOVE of God in our lives could convince us that we should do this... But still, we all have that Love in our lives.. so what is the problem? the problem is that we are not totally surrendered to the Almighty will of our Lord... We are still holding onto our lives, thinking that they belong to us... They do not however. They came from God, and back to Him they must go...THIS is what it means to be surrendered to the cause of Christ... Its just like Tamara reminded me the other day: We CANNOT live out the love of Christ. Thats just a fact.. It is impossible to do.. We must let Him live it out through us...
To Love others like Jesus, is to be willing to live the life that Jesus lived.
Would you take the place of this man?
Ok, so I was just commenting on Lori & Amberly's blog, and the comment turned out so good that I decided to turn it into a post.. So here it is.. Hope ya'll enjoy!
OK! This is just freakin sad! No one has commented on the last 5 posts! So I am gonna be the hero of the world (err rather a lil house in Kiev, Ukraine) and comment! So here am I, James.. You know, if Ukraine would join the U.N., then I might be able to have an excuse to use U.N. funds in order to travel to a lil house in Kiev, Ukraine for U.N. 'reasons' of coarse.. Seeing as how I am the Secretary General, I can do what ever I want. Cause no one is higher than me in rank... So yes. When the day grows long and I am tired from trying to feed an entire country.. No wait...CRAP!!! The whole freakin' U.N.!!! Dangit! What ever, I can just borrow some money from my good ol' friend George over in the USA... Whew! Good thing I can think of answers to my problems so fast! Anyways, like I was saying....Then when I get tired of feeding a nation, I'll take a short flight over to Kiev, and then call one of my contacts. This guy named Daniel.. And make my way to the lil house in Kiev, Ukraine.. Where I will conduct some very important business before leaving again... Oh wait!!! Crap One of my contacts In Tallahassee just told me that he was in Kenley's house and someone just tried to break in the back door! Hold on a sec, let me get the coordinants, and I'll just send a nuke...
Talking on a Satellite Radio:
"pfshhhst... James, come in James."
"Copy that. Go ahead Sir."
"Get out of there as fast as you can. I'm sending a nuke to take out that guy once and for all."
"Roger that. Proceeding with hostile prejudice. Over and out."
Ok, now that I got that taken care of.. Phew, my job is so taxing... Well ok.. Time for me to go now.. James Morrow, Secretary general of The United Nations
