The Alamo

I went to San Antonio for my birthday, and my plan was to tour the Alamo but I never got to bye the time I found the Alamo the place was closed, but what the funny part was when my mom and I had found the Alamo not only was it closed but my mom and i had walked past the Alamo 5 times and break fast and lunch by the thing and never even realized it!!!!

I got two comments from a person:
It is interesting how sometimes we fail to see what is right in front of us, even when we go looking for it. :-)


it is funny how sometimes we fail to see what is right in front of us. :-)

todays verse

Psalm 34 (NRSV)
I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. This poor soul cried, and was heard by the LORD, and was saved from every trouble. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. O taste and see that the LORD is good; happy are those who take refuge in him. O fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for those who fear him have no want. The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Which of you desires life, and covets many days to enjoy good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against evildoers, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears, and rescues them from all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD rescues them from them all. He keeps all their bones; not one of them will be broken. Evil brings death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The LORD redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.

_________________________

Those who look to [the Lord] are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
- Psalm 34:5 (NIV)

I am gonna start off this post with this, I got to hang out with my best friend Christian Simeral today, I always love going to visit him at his house. One reason I love going to his house is because battling him in halo, and other video games. I love to get to sit down and chat with his mom , Christian is so lucky he has two wonderful parents. MS Simeral Christian's mom has to map out the routes when Christian drives somewhere , because he has difficulty on routes his brain is long circuited , Christian has verbal dyslexia it take him longer to process thought and his judgment is slowed down a bit. Christian has two majors , he graduated in Graphic Arts , and it drafting , Christ has enabled him to overcome many obstacles in life it is amazing to se how far Christian has come. I wanna list some other examples of how Jesus Christ has the power to...

This what this song means to me

The Cranberries - Zombie

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a..

This song is talking about violence that keeps going on and on, and it breaks hearts , one thing that is going on right now is my Aunt and Uncle are getting a divorce. My Aunt Brenda and my Uncle Rusty have have fought and fought , and it just breaks my heart. But, this is not the only thing that breaks my heart , there has been chaos on ever side of my family and I sometimes feel torn in the middle.When my uncle and my grandmother were alive on my moms side of the family none of this would ever be the case, on my moms side of the family , my uncle Carl,and my grandmother would not put up with it.But, on my god mothers side of the family family feuds have been going on for so long, now I know that I don't have to put up with my godmothers family near like I used to.Everything is fully in god hands, because He is the only on that can handle and deal with the situation, the song zombie is all to real to me I relate to that song because, the way the feuds go on it is like they are all zombies feuding among one another.This is why I write this blog post today, around the holidays it really gets to me , I would love nothing more than to go be around my family and have peace, and not have in the back of my mind as soon as this is over they are gonna be right back where they were, or hear them even at the diner table pick and put another down. I got a invite to thanksgiving diner at my mom Aunt and uncles house, and my cousin's house I would love to go, but I don't one my cousin tries to put me down , I get made fun of and it breaks my mom's heart and it breaks my heart. Holidays are sometimes really ruff for me. But, God gave me another family that I love with all my heart and they love me for me , my family is The Ring community Church , I love them so much and my heart smiles every Sunday when I get to church around 4 or 4:30 , and I have my little angles Addy, Jack, Parker, Trace, Dustin, and Dale run up and give me this huge hug!!

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

forgiveness

Unforgiveness

Unforgiveness is something that can really hold us back from escaping the corruption of sin and living for God. Unforgiveness comes in many forms, such as bitterness, hatred, malice, holding grudges and resentment. It can actually block God's forgiveness of our sin and provides a foothold for the devil to influence our lives. Additionally, unforgiveness can plant a “root of bitterness” in us that leads to various damaging results (e.g. ruins the fruit of the Holy Spirit, stunts spiritual growth, contributes to physical illness). Like acid can destroy the vessel that holds it, so can unforgiveness destroy us when we harbor it.


here are ways I need you all to be in prayer for me ...

1.pray for me in my journey of allowing God to heal me from all the hurt in my life

2.pray not only that I can heal and forgive ,but pray that I can admit my wrongs and be forgiven

Tomorrow

I am going out to LSU to see the requirements to get in to the Comptia A+ course,I am going try to back to Computer Networking,please be praying that I am fallowing God will and not trying to go back to school because its what I want to do,for if I fallow my own will it is destined to fail,but if I submit to the Will of the Father I am sure to succeed .I want to God's will,and not my own ,if you read my post before this in Romans 13:1 about submitting ,I do not want my selfishness and rebellion to come in to play.

A struggle

One of my struggles is submission.

“[Submission to the Authorities] Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”- Romans 13:1

Thank you Jesus

One I am gonna tell you this before I go into the rest of this post of why the title is Thank you Jesus,we all know Jesus Christ has the power to....The first part of this thank you is for my eye sight that is in know way affected by the Glaucoma,and that I can see well and also I have the passion to go back to school :)!!!!!

now the were thank you part comes into play ,Thank you Jesus for Gaucher disease ,Gaucher disease has be a blessing in so many ways that it would take me more that a week to sit you down and explain , I hear songs written by Rock groups (aka Metallica ) the so until it sleeps written about a parent struggle with Cancer,I researched the so and one I hear the pain in the song about the struggle and it makes me one Thank God that my battle with Gaucher disease is not painful anymore and how much of a blessing has come from my disease. one of the lines in the song says ,so tell me why you have chosen me , my line would go something like this (thankyou for choosing me ),really I would rewrite the song from being a sad song to a song of praise :)!!!! I know I sound weird but I can take the dark time I have gone through and turn them into praises because if I look closely I see how God held me the whole time!!!!

How to make hand sanitizer

Tired of paying for hand sanitizer? Then, grab a few ingredients, and make your own!
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 15 minutes or less
Here's How:

1. Mix the aloe vera and Isopropyl alcohol together until well blended.
2. Add 8-10 drops of essential oil to the mixture for fragrance (if desired), and stir well.
3.

Pour the finished hand sanitizer into an empty container and seal.

Contains 65% Alcohol

Tips:

1. Many essential oils like tea tree oil and lavender have antibacterial properties. Use one of these to boost the germ-zapping power of your hand sanitizer.

3. A little goes a long way with this recipe. Once applied, just rub your hands together until the moisture evaporates and the stickiness vanishes.

What You Need:

* 2/3 cup Isopropyl alcohol 91%
* 1/3 cup aloe vera gel
* Essential oil in your choice of fragrance (optional)
* A bowl and spoon
* An empty container

todays reading

James 4
Submit Yourselves to God
1What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

4You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?[a] 6But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble."[b]

7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
