war peace and then more war

so i watched the third part in my war and peace movie(it's 8 hours long and in Russian) i still really enjoy it . the third movie was mainly one EPIC battle with thousands of people on screen at once and thousands of bodies and explosions going off for like an hour.this part and the film as a whole dives into the horrors and senselessness of war , 200, 000 people killing each other simply because that is what they have been ordered to do ,war makes men loses all sense and reason. well thats just one of the themes going on but it's still a really cool movie and very well made , the visual effects are amazing because of the lack of cgi and computers means they had to be all done by hand . well thats all i feel like writing for now

more dancing tips

so im doing pretty good right now, i can see God at work around my life right now. one thing i should add about relationships is that feelings don't merit anything or really mean they are the "one God wants you to marry or pursue a relationship with" it requires something more ...lots of prayer, conformation from the body of Christ around you, God leading you to it and Peace about it. it also requires wisdom and faith as well...

to dance the dance....

well just so you don't think im still some kind of fruit case since the last post don't worry i am fine now , forgiveness is a pretty amazing thing. oh and i promised some stuff on relationships so here it goes we live in a culture right now where the body (church) doesn't teach or really have much to help people wanting to pursue a relationship and to want to purse a Godly relationship is a very counter culture thing and even different then what most professing Christians practice. but there is plenty of sources to find information and good biblical teaching on this matter and knowledge is very key. the bible does not teach us to live and then learn as the world or recreational dating promotes but to learn and then live , to use this time , this season of being single to learn to grow in our walk and become a Godly man/ woman so if God does will for you to be married you will be ready to "dance the dance and not get hurt" and "to be the one that your future wife/ husband needs you to be" so for recommendations for learning , Paul washers sermons on dating, Joshua Harris books on dating ( read i kissed dating good bye first) and mars hill church also did a good sermon on Christian dating and passion and purity(although ive never read it but heard it's good). but thats just a few to get you started .also when reading and studying remember to make it personal and not to become leaglist or judgmental about it and understand that pretty much every relationship is different and unique but as Joshua so wisely pointed out in his illusion about it, it's like a bunch of art students trying to copy there art masters masterpiece but there teacher has given them all different tools and materials to use based on what is best for them but they are all trying to copy the same thing. so thats all for now but remember to not act upon or follow your heart because it is very deceitful and wicked and don't make the person of affection an idol in your life but wait on the Lord be devoted to prayer and God will give you direction

so i can't do the jerk dance but i do feel like one

so i feel completely awlfull , you know the whole you hurt a good friend without meaning too or even knowing and still even after apologizing still feeling super sick about it....yea that feeling i don't know this day seemed to have so much promise but it fell short on almost ever level

snow!

so i wonder if anyone ever reads this... oh well the point of blogging is not t be read but to express yourself like a dairy but you leave it open to be read by everyone. so were to begin... well it snowed!!!! thats something that is very weird and strange to happen cause we very rarely get snow in south Carolina . in celebration i made a pretty sweet snowball fight video and i posted it on you tube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izEHDOJ99PE) I guess thats something i should mention, that i love to edit videos together and i'm pretty good at it too, i just never have any good quality videos or software but i make do with what i have.so what else can i mention...well I've been learning more about relationships lately , which is strange that it's happening all around valentine's day (it's strange how God works like that ) but i guess i'll post something soon the talks about everything I've learned/learning but until then think about this....

it's been 18 years already?

hahaha so i guess i somehow messed up the title of my last post , oh well still learning how to blog . so i finally got a dvd copy of urine town it's definitely going to be in my "strange movies that no one has heard about but i going to take them to ciu with me anyway" list . speaking of collage i can believe that i'm about to go to collage , it seems only yesterday that i was on the play ground swinging with friends, or in my room creating fantastic epic battles with my action figures(usually based on the days drangon ball z episode) or going to foot ball games but ending up not watching the game but talking with friends, or eating lunch in the court yard talking about some random ps2 game or even going to those awarkered middle school dances that everyone went to but you really didn't know how to dance and felt really uncomfortable around girls or being in Mrs ack's drama room doing nothing or playing Go with my friend zerak or even everyone bringing there DnD books to school and us reading them during break or even really getting to go to Tracy's camp for the first time and meting so many new friends that would soon become my brothers and sisters and even getting to go to Camden and visit dear friends . wow there seems to be so many memories and events that only seem like yesterday but i can't wait to see what the yesterdays of tomorrow hold

salvation is not a get out of free card

well i guess i'm still pretty amazed by the lack of biblically knowledge on salvation and regeneration and how salvation is simply seen as getting to go to heaven...this being all from youth or really by most people who claim to be Christians.i think why we so foolishly simply think of salvation as simply a free ticket out of hell is from our sinful selfish nature in which we only care about ourself. it's the same reason you can get a bunch of kids to rise there hands and say a prayer and say that they love Jesus, it's not because they really love God or desire him but they love them selfs and this "Jesus" has been presented to them in a way to avoid an eternity of pain and suffering. it's almost like that God saves people because of who we are and he would be unloving to send anyone to hell which is WRONG! Romans 11:36, psalm 79:9,psalm 106:6-9, Isaiah 48:9, Isaiah 63:12, Jeremiah 14:7, and to sum it all up Ezekiel 36:22-23²² "Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. ²³ I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes." we should worship God not because we get to go to heaven or we get something but because of who he is because of the glorious grace that he has shown us!

Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen!-psalm 72 :19

well here goes nothing...

well i don't know why i'm blogging but since i have stuff to say alot of times but not always somebody to say it to maybe some good can come of this blog thingy.

well i guess to start my friend Brennan inspire me to want to write a blog(lol the blog wars have begun) but maybe the real reason (and likewise the reason for her to start blogging )is two fold , when i write i feel as though i can get my point across more clear and thus understand more clearly what i'm even thinking about and second to help others who may be going through something similar

so about me if you don't know anything about me, i'm a thinker, i take quick to listen slow to speak to heart BUT at the same time i am very bold when it comes to things of God or harm being done to others. for the most part i'm a follower and an observer but if the need arises i find no trouble filling a spot of leadership but at the same time i find i rely on others probably to much and don't have enough self confidence in my self. last and most important i so long and strive to bring Glory to God in all thing that i do.

i guess thats not too bad for a first introductory post

and for laughs(don't take it too seriously) ...
