Its the little things that count

today its been a pretty unproductive day for me. lazing around and watching tv episodes for a good 2 hours. altho all day ive had god on my mind. its strange like to the point where i just want ot be with the lord already. i feel so special knowing that he cares about me a SINNER and so very far from perfect. yet he still loves and cares about me. it touches my heart and soul. for the lord i will do anything. i had a good prayer today before i set of to hang out with Jeremy to help him with his car. it was important for me to remain in him. to remember to take up my cross and thats what i did.

Heavenly father. i thank you for all the gifts you've given me. all the love and compassion you've shown towards me. for opening up doors giving me the greatest of friends and showing me the true light of this world which is in you. father i just want to be with you. your so amazing and you make all things real. miracles and the impossibles are no longer out of reach because through you all can be done. Lord i pray for courage lord to do your will today. that you speak to me in ways that i can see how you affect my life and others. lord i pray for the holy spirit, that you send him upon me and incinerate every trace of sin in me. father i want to be pure of heart and i want to do your will. lord will you welcome me with open arms once again and take me up as a son as a disciple as a follower of you lord Jesus. i want to make you my king and what ever your will is i want to do. father i pray for my friends and family that don't know you lord. i love them and i know the time is near when you will arise lord. please give them the chance to get to know you.; please send the holy spirit to burn in me to over flow in me with love for you so i can stand witness to them as to what you have done in me. lord please open their hearts and soften them, open their minds to you their eyes to you their ears to you so they can hear you see you and feel your calling for them. lord if it is in you will i pray that you work through me for your work to be done. i pray that you give me courage to stand strong in your word and lord i pray that you send the holy spirit to me to help me fight of my natural sinful nature so that i may become more like you. my glorious king. lord i pray for all these things so i may grow in you and be strong in you so i may be able to share the good news with everyone i meet. in your glorious name i pray. Amen.

i spent most my day today with Jermey an d actually found him to be a great inspiration to me. it was just the little things he does such as inviting friends around to include him in things. pursuing in knowledge to grow and just knowing that there is always room for us to grow in the lord. he also showed me how much of a Christian he really is with his big heart. i think it maybe a gifting of his as he was able to give and lend to total strangers he had never met at pick a part today. that was truly inspiring to me as i would not be able to do that myself. he even lent hand to a total stranger to get a car part out. if this is what it means to be doing your work lord i know i fall short in so many ways. i thank you lord for such a great friend and such a great lesson i learn from him lord.

i also ended up having a really good talk with Sueanne today. we opened up and talked about the issues around us. our friends and our visions and what we sort of want to see happen. its great to know that the lords working in her because she really inspires me to do more of your work lord. she has such a talented mind and is so organized and so relational lord. i only pray that she grows in you and i guess so that i don't lose this wonderful gifting you have given me. shes amazing. shes exhausted herself from doing your work today lord and it jsut shows to me how much energy and how much and how far she is willing to go for you. its so encouraging and motivating to me to see that from her. thank you father for her.

i also got to see mike once again and do another bible study. we didn't end up finishing the notes he went through in conference lord but we did end up going through the book of James and finished chapter one. i was astonished as to how much of this passage applied to me. I'm like the man in the mirror when i read your lord word it comes through one ear and out the other sometimes. i should really be applying your word to myself and i don't do that sometimes lord. please forgive me. i also learned that i should apply to myself that i should be quicker to listen to ideas thoughts and other people and really open my ears to hear you calling to me. i should be slow to judge and slow to speak and thus slow to get angry. if i am angry what good does that do in your name if others see me in that state. no good and so lord i thank you for the message you are telling me. i should be more like you and forgive them. i also learn't that my touch is a sharp as a double edge sword and that i should be careful in what i say or speak. what good or glory does it give you if i curse around others and shout profanities? none my lord so in this i will try to apply to myself but i need your help of the holy spirit to do so and to help guide me. you came down for the poor and not the rice lord and in James it also talks of us helping orphans and widows. lord i hope you make this clearer to me as i don't quite understand this passage. i also tried to do your work today in speaking to another skater tonight. too bad he left before i could settle myself in to talk to him about who you were lord. i only hope that he has herd your name and that he knows of who you are. Lord i also have come to realize that your name is knowing world wide. some people use your name in vain but yet lord under that circumstance your name i still spoken and shared in the world. father you are amazing in how you have highly exalted your son Christ Jesus.

i am also inspired by these few words spoken by mike. "LETS SAVE THE WORLD"

father i pray as i end for the evening that you energizes me for the days that is to come. As hard work and concentration maybe involved lord i hope that i still am able to keep you in mind and that you watch over me always. i pray that today as i reflect back if there is anything that i have said or have done that is not of you lord i pray that you forgive me and wash away my sin. father i thank you so much for the lord Jesus that you have sent to earth upon from heavens. for you to love us as far to have your son do your will and having him die on the cross for our sins so that we may remain in you. lord you are amazing. i thank you with all my heart. holy spirit i pray that you work within me to be more like Jesus and to be able to take upon more lessons and to be able to grow in you lord each and every single day. i pray that you help me with my natural sinful nature and that i will be able to hear your call for me to do you work. father i pray whatever i do lord i boast it all not in my own name as human praise will do me no good. lord i pray all glory will go to you and in you name i pray. Amen.
