(old post) things I need to work on
1. I need to work on, stopping and taking a breath and not letting little things get under my skin, letting stupid little things get to you can make a good day not so good, and it also can cause you to react to other situations in a not Christ like manner. 2. Digging deeper into the Word everyday, and setting aside time for my quiet time. 3. being better organized in my room .

my plans ae not always His plans
Yes my plans are not always his plans, some of my plans are goals an achievements are sometimes can be selfish , like when I say a goal is to one day walk out on a stage at a muscle and fitness competition and flex and show off , I don't think that is his plan. Two years ago I learn to snowboard with an adaptive instructor and after that I had dreams and plans of wanting to help designing stuff for adaptive snowboarding ,and one of my goals and plans since I went to school for computers is to teach people to use there computers and maybe work for a church doing networking , some of these are not bad plans and goals but are they His plans or are they mine, The Lord plans for me will be shown to me I just have keep my focus on him and follow Him.
hoping for the rain to be ended
Well I hope the rain stays gone for a while because I have try out for baseball with the ARC of Baton Rouge, The Arc is for kids and adult with disabilities to just have fun and meet others with similar limitations . Saturday is the baseball try outs and if the rain stays gone the ground wont be as muddy , I also am gonna sign up for swimming this summer ,and I have signed up for camp ARC so this summer should be fun!!!

Jesus Christ has the power to ...
Last week I go to for my check up at the eye doctor to get my pressure the pressure was was still high in the left eye the new drops had not lowered the pressure in the left eye, and with the optic nerve damage we need to get the pressure down, but my doctor can not explain how with glasses I see 20/25 on a very good day and 20/30 on an average day or even how in the right eye the optic nerve is healing the damage was 90% and is now 60%. There is only one explanation Jesus Christ ,and only he has the power to heal the damage that Glaucoma has done ,Jesus still does miracles everyday he is still opening the eyes of the blind . John 9
Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. Matthew 9:27-30
Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
“Yes, Lord,” they replied.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored.

daily stupid frustration
what is my daily frustration wireless dead spots in my house,in older homes the walls are thicker and the wireless signal is not able to travel through them . Well, I like to hang out at the kitchen table area and guess what, that is where on of the wireless dead spots is. I have become spoiled to wireless and having a computer I can carry around, where as before I had wireless and just had a desktop I was fine with getting up
to go use the computer and go check emails and blog or surf the web. I find it interesting we get easily spoiled with the latest technology and stuff, my mom and I asked each other the question not long ago what did we do before cell phones and there was a pause for like 2 minutes or so we both had to think.

our call to Justice
Matthew 25:35-40
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
35When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat, and when I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink. When I was a stranger, you welcomed me, 36and when I was naked, you gave me clothes to wear. When I was sick, you took care of me, and when I was in jail, you visited me."
37Then the ones who pleased the Lord will ask, "When did we give you something to eat or drink? 38When did we welcome you as a stranger or give you clothes to wear 39or visit you while you were sick or in jail?"
40The king will answer, "Whenever you did it for any of my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me."
The Poor , the Hungry,and the oppressed, "Each one of them is Jesus in disguise".
Mother Teresa
Luke 10:25-37
New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

imagine
Imagine not having clean water to drink, now imagine that is all you have to keep you hydrated and but its making you sick.
Water and Health
At any given time, half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from a water-related disease.
Nearly 90 percent of all diseases in the world are caused by unsafe drinking water, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene. Every year, there are 4 billion cases of diarrhea as a direct result of drinking contaminated water; this results in more than 2.2
million deaths each year—the equivalent of 20 jumbo jets crashing every day.
The weakest members of communities are the most vulnerable; every day water-related diseases claim the lives of 5000 children under the age of five. That’s roughly one every 15 seconds.
“Clean water and sanitation are among the most powerful preventative medicines for reducing child mortality. They are to diarrhea what immunization is to killer diseases such as measles or polio: a mechanism for reducing risk and averting death.”
- United Nations Development Program, 2006
(Water. It is at the heart of a daily crisis faced by a billion of the world’s most vulnerable people—a crisis that threatens life and destroys livelihoods on a devastating scale.
Unlike war and terrorism, the global water crisis does not make media headlines, despite the fact that it claims more lives through disease than any war claims through guns. Unlike natural disasters, it does not rally concerted international action, despite the fact that more people die each year from drinking dirty water than from the world’s hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, and earthquakes combined.
This is a silent crisis experienced by the poor, and tolerated by those with the resources, technology, and the political power to end it. Yet this is a crisis that is holding back human progress, consigning large segments of humanity to lives of poverty, vulnerability, and insecurity.)
At Living Water International, we are addressing this most basic of needs by helping deprived communities acquire safe, clean water. Our goal is to substantially ease the global water crisis while addressing root causes such as injustice, oppression, and abject poverty. As this happens, communities and worldviews are transformed—both among those in desperate physical need, and among those who have been blessed with much.
What Would It Take
How much money would solve the world water crisis?
Most people are taking a serious look at the numbers within the context of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) to “reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015.” So most of the best numbers only address half the need, but include providing adequate sanitation for the world’s 2.5 billion who are lacking it, and we are left to wonder what the cost would be for providing only water to those 884 million lacking The question itself is not entirely clear either. When is the “world water crisis” no longer a crisis? When we’ve met the UN’s MDG? When everybody has access to clean water? When people have clean water? Or “improved” water, which may only be a covered shallow hand-dug well? Could some non-profit sectors provide sustainable water more efficiently than the mostly governmental agencies whose data is being extrapolated to arrive at our figures? Is the number even relevant if sufficient reliable implementing agencies do not currently exist?
The World Bank offers a range of cost estimates to reach MDG goals. They estimate the cost of reaching “basic levels of coverage…in water and sanitation” to be $9 billion at the low end, and $30 billion a year for “achieving universal coverage” for water and sanitation. The same report acknowledges that the “institutional arrangements” do not exist to reach the goal in any case, and concludes that, “taking these estimates and their caveats together, we estimate that the cost… is between $5 and $21 billion.”

Post number two
This is kind of a continue of the story at the end of the last post.
I just ask everyone that views this blog to constantly be in prayer for me and here is how you can be in prayer for me....
1. pray that when there is discontentment that I would seek the lord and find contentment in where he has me.
2. pray for me that my focus would be on the lord and the enemy would not distract me , and that the stuff in this world and on tv would not distract me that the weapons on the enemy would not harm me and cause me to loose focus.
3. and as person of their late 20s that still deals with the dating would that that also would not cause me to loose focus.
4. pray for me in the area of holding my tongue, and pray that the words spoken out of my mouth would not be words that would destroy but that my words would be words that would help build up .
