my word

read and enjoy what God is teaching me everyday as I strive to be an imiator of him and as I long to live life to the fullest until the day that I will stand...no lie facedown...before my King, my Father. "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy." ~ 1 Peter 1:8

In the last 24 hours I've had a complete revival. Broken because he was discipline me but no joyful because I've repented and I'm forgiven. Thanks be to God who disciplines us for our good. He loves us more than we realize. Praise him with all your soul.

Today, everyday may it be God's

So at the daycare this song was played on a CD we were all listening to. It stuck with me through the day. Today is a perfect day that God made for me, every moment he ordained for me! I'm exactly where he wants me to be. I'm going to be thankful and recognize his blessings and his truth and his promise of renewing. He rewards those who trust in him, he rewards with the Spirit. Today was joyful because I saw him in it. Nothing is going to change my mind that today is God's and he loves me and will give me just the right amount of strength.

Song: Perfect Day Lyrics

Sun's up
A little after twelve
Make breakfast for myself
Leave the work for someone else
People say
They say that it's just a phase
They tell me to act my age,
Well I am

On this perfect day,
Nothing's standing in my way

On this perfect day,
When nothing can go wrong

It's the perfect day,
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
I could stay, forever as I am

On this perfect day

Sun's down
A little after ten
I pick up all my friends
In my Mercedes-Benz

Wake up
Don't tell me it's just a dream
'Cause when I've had enough
You'll hear me say,
Now don't you try to rain on my

Perfect day,
Nothing's standing in my way

On this perfect day,
Nothing can go wrong

It's the perfect day,
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
I could stay, forever as I am
On this perfect day

La la la
La la la,
Oh, oh

I'm in the race
But I've already won
(La la la)
And getting there can
Be half the fun
(La la la)
So don't stop me
Till I'm good and done,
Don't you try to rain on my

Perfect day
It's the perfect day

It's the perfect day
Nothing's gonna bring me down
I could stay, forever as I am

On this perfect day
Nothing's standing in my way,

On this perfect day,
Nothing can go wrong

I'm in the race
But I've already won
And getting there can
Be half the fun,
So don't stop me
Till I'm good and done,
Don't you try to rain on my

Perfect, day
On this perfect day
On this perfect day

* Reward at the bottom *
Look for the joy in the day, look for the best parts in people, thank them for sacrifices and acts of love, forgive them for wrongs and enjoy life alongside not far away. today will be a perfect day if i choose it to be.

Be a Light

So I have been feeling a little discouraged and the opposite of Joyful. Not where one wants to be. Especially Friday nights when we go to the Ped Mall to share. I felt no Spirit and so for an hour I didn't talk to anybody. Finally with only 20 min before it was time to meet up, I went sharing with Eddie. Had one conversation and then on our way to the Java House to meet up Eddie stopped this guy to "ask a couple questions"

This guy was no ordinary guy, possiblly drunk, but yet not quite. turns out this joyful guy is Christian and a funny guy. I don't know what it was about him but since him I've been so joyful. It was the Spirit that was shining out of him.

I pray that every time we go to talk to some body, the light, the Spirit just flows out of us.
