Putting off Repairs = bad idea

This morning as I was driving to work and Praying "God make me new take what is broke and fix it and make me a new creation like you said you would in Corinthians" and after i finished Praying I heard aloud thunk! and though oh great the rear differential that I new had a leak probably just gave out on me. Turns out it was worse my Jeep while still running wasn't getting any power to the wheels. So I turned on my Hazards and coasted into Chevron to see what exactly had gone wrong. When I got out some one who had been driving near me pulled out and said "I think you dropped something back there." So I went looking for the missing part and i found my drive shaft in the middle of the road, which is never where you want to find your rear drive shaft.

All that to say this; Sometimes in life we know something is broke or wearing out, and it needs to be fixed but wait and put it off till later. I know I had been doing that with my time, my prayer life and quality time with God. I also know I had been doing that with my Jeep.

Mark 4:⁷ "Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain." somewhere along the way my Heart ended up being bad soil full of weeds, its time to change the soil

I asked God to fix me and make me new this morning and the reason I had to ask him that was because my life had gotten complacent, and all to busy with the things I supposedly "have" to do in this world, like work, school, hang out with friends, church, repeat. But what God is reminding me of is that none of that can and or should get done without the thing that drives you. In the case of my Jeep it wont work with out a drive shaft and Gear oil. In the case of L.J. well I can't work right with out that which powers me and I have to remember it is God, his Holy spirit working in and through me. When I try to limp by with a few minuets in the word here and quick shout out pray to God there, Its like driving a jeep with a leaky differential and a broking and cracking u joint at some point its going to break and your going to have to fix it.

I've learned that fixing things before they break is always the better option it would have saved me time and money (i have to get a tow truck now and a new muffler and fix my back tire if it can be saved since the drive shaft hit it on the way out) If only I had not been a fool and fixed the problem sooner it would have been less of a hassle. I pray I haven't broken to many things before realizing I haven't been giving God the time he deserves (all of my time) and I hope the repairs aren't as tedious as my Jeep, but either way They still have to be made, I've been absurd now its time to get Sensible

So much to think about so little time

Hears the Ramble for the week God is one

I'm not just talking about the statement that there is one God but that The one God who has reviled himself as what we have called the Trinity is ONE. Unlike Us with our parts, and faces and, characteristics and traits that can change. God is ONE he is not made up of Parts.

SO what? what does that mean for me is probably what your wondering.

well it means so much but i'll keep it short.

we know God is Good, he's all powerful, God is Love, God is Just, God Is Eternal, never Changing, He is all of those things all the time. we don't get a slice of God that is different than any of the rest of Him. he is all that he is in everything he does.

When i'm weak then i'm strong.... say what?

⁸Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. ⁹But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.¹⁰That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12)

It sounds absurd to think that in our weakness Christ's power is made Perfect. But Thats what Gods saying to me right now. It is when we are done. when we are at the end of our rope that God is able to go above and beyond and do what we cannot do. When we realize that we need him and His Grace, His Power, His Holy spirit to live inside of us and to be what we cannot be on our own then He can Truly have his way and amaze us, and the world.

What comes to mind when i think about God part 1

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."
— A.W. Tozer

When things get crazy, when the struggles of life seem to hard, When the pain we feel seems like its to much, when we it seems better to just give in to sin, or to curse God and die; its time to remember Who God is.

When I remember that God is Love,
That God is all powerful
GOD is holy holy holy
God is Just and True
That God is Merciful and Gracious
When I remember That God Loves us.

I can find strength in his word that he will never leave or forsake me, That he made me in his Image that he as redeemed me and called me for his purpose for Good and not for Evil. I can soar on wings like eagles and run and know Grow weary because my God My Father in Heaven sustains me. My God Loves Me.

He loves you all too God bless

1st Blog Give Glory to God

Hey whats up This is the first of hopefully many Blogs. I had nothing really to say right now but i wanted to make sure i started this blog off right by first giving glory to God and thanking him for a chance to post the sensible things he's teaching me and the things that seem absurd that he wants me to wrap my mind around. This blog will hopefully be a place where i share my heart, things that God is teaching me and the funny things God allows me to experience or be a part of, and hopefully it blesses someone else.

proverbs 3:6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
