A New Direction

So last night during youth group, I had a realization of the fact that I take all of these notes on post it notes during service, and a couple times some siblings have taken pictures of my notes to read later. But, despite the fact that I take all these notes, I will admit I don't think I've taken the time to go back and look at hardly any of them. I have them all on a cork board, but that cork board is on the inside of a door to my desk that I am not using a whole lot right now. So, both for my benefit, and I'm hoping some others that don't mind reading some others opinions and possibly discussing things bible related, I'd like to start posting things related to the notes I've taken, and to just talk some about it. I'm unsure of whether I should start doing it with the first notes I've taken, or with the most recent ones. Also, I'll either be doing this on Wednesday nights, or on Thursday morning like right now.
 This will be a preliminary post I think, but despite that--let me say this from last night's notes.

  • God has a plan for you
  • You are rebuilding
  • You are being opposed because you are trying to live you like for Jesus
  • The enemy will try to get in during the process to mess you up
These are the bible verses that were highlighted during last night's talk.

  • 1. Corinthians 6:19-20
  • Ezra 4 and 6:1-12

Don't lose heart. The enemy will do anything to get you away from God, we know that, but we live for God anyway. So take heart my friends, brothers and sisters in Christ. You're not alone.

A life and a love

 Dear Reader, I chose this particular title, because I just finished reading/looking at a story of another blogger, who drew each day of his and his wife's life for 365 days. But putting together specifically the days that he drew of them together.  And I must say, it was the sweetest story that I have read. The Drawings of Curtis Wiklund and his wife Jordin.  I have no other words to say than these, and these simple words say it all. I love this story. I love their story. I love that they made a story and told it to the world in one of the most magnificent ways possible. I love it that it's a story that is of the beauty real life holds. I love it all. And I love the story of life. And the story that God's given me. For although it was said, no one is told any story but their own. I take it to mean, it doesn't say that, you don't hear of another's story, but the only story that you will ever see through your own eyes...    ... is your own. -C

Resolutions

 Resolutions can be quite strange can't they? One moment you're wondering about something, then something in you just decides–No. You're not going to do that any more.  I often wonder if others feel this way. If you are just thinking about a part of your life, that hasn't changed in forever, yet you wonder why you just let it keep going. Till finally, one day just out of the blue, you take a stand and say, "No more."  Mine are always when I expect them least. Which is a good thing I suppose! Though, I often wonder why I hadn't taken that ability into my hands sooner, since I had them all the while.  The resolution, to not let something in your life keep you stuck. To let something keep you from doing what you need to, or wanting to. Knowing that if you throw in everything you've got, that you'll no longer be a slave to that thing that's keeping you stuck.  I know with others, it can be more difficult with certain things, but you can't

Fewer Things

 There are fewer things more enjoyable than biting into a homemade cookie. Made to the right amount of crispy chewiness. The chocolate chips scattered throughout it. The richness of the butter making it wonderfully smooth. Paired with a good cup of tea, I can think of few things more that to me, bring joy to my morning touch of breakfast treat. Christmas's Savory Sweet  Where do they come from?  Where did they go?  The cookies are made,  The doughs are rolled.  Made of every type and call,  The brilliant delights.  A kind for all.  So many treats and so many sweets,  To all of us this kindly thrall.  So sweet and enamoring.  This tasty treats delight.  They bring a smile,  And a light,  To all who eat,  A Christmas's chocolate savory delight. ©Mae Fort
