totally digging switchfoot yo! haha.this song’s pretty emo man,I like.
schools’ bout t start… I don’t know about you, but it’s a fresh chapter altogether for me… there’s always this fear of how you’re gonna fit in and everything, like how are you going t find your place with the people in school.always felt that way,and always will. haha.whats different I think is how the lord puts this excitement in me, to meet new people and things.i feel like ive grown far out of secondary school days already la.i don’t know how i could best put it in words for you man, but I think all of you sharing this stage of life with me get the drift.haha.
beckoning in new days with me was ignez, the princess and bundle of joy to the DE tribe. even as danny and evelyn commited their baby girl to the lord on the 6th- it was to us, a reminder of how all of us in this tribe have grown in our walks of life for a year around her. she’s always brought a smile to our faces when we most needed it, just cradling her would bring such joy that you could,at that momment,laugh away the cares of the world just by holding her close to you and pinching those chubby little cheeks. haha.
but yeah- it got me to look back at how ive walked with god for the past year or so.who knows what life has in store for you in the years to come? its always good to take a step out and look at how the lord has been faithful-it just spurs you on to continue to walk right with him as tough as the going gets.
the past weekend was a reminder of how god loves us-even when we feel like our lives carry the stains of sin,sin that cannot be washed clean from our conscience,sin that makes us unworthy of love, sin that robs us of our value, sin that makes us feel empty and rejected from the world at the end of the day.the lord was brought to his knees so that we could stand again,figuratively speaking, so that we could walk free from the chains of sin. He who knew no sin,became sin on our behalf. he was crucified so that we could walk as free men,not in the ways of this world, but in the light of his risen glory.
‘…and being found in appearance as a Man,he humbled himself and became obedient to death-even death on a cross!therefor god exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,that at the name of jesus every knee shallbow,in heaven and on earth and under the earth,and every tongue confess that jesus christ is lord,to the glory of god the father’ ephesians 2:8-11
where’s the proof? all this talk about salvation and how christianity changes lives is not just a cover up of a reality we’re afraid to admit.its so much more than just that and id tell you straight up that jesus exists, and id be willing to show it to you any day.cause here’s a life that’s found meaning, here’s a life that is valued, here’s a life that knows jesus.
STORMcity!;
