The Reason

Some people come into your life for no known reason. Whether it be a year or a few seconds, believe it, they are there for you. Some people feel the urge to talk to someone and have no idea why. Some people walk into hallways just because they felt the need to. Things like this happen every day, and the people performing the action don't know why they do it. I know. God directed them there. That was the "urge", God calling on your heart. Think about any hall you ever walked down to find someone there staring at you. Or a bathroom that you walked in just to check yourself out, and someone was there. That person in the hall may have just been looking for someone to show up, and you were it. The person in the bathroom may have finally broke down and began cutting themselves, but when you walked in, they stopped, afraid you would find out. That person you felt the urge to talk to is lost and lonely and just looking for someone to be nice. How do I know this? Because once upon a time I was that person that had random people show up in my life just to keep me from harming my self, in bathrooms, in hallways, in the back of a class room. To keep me from feeling lost and lonely. So next time you feel the "urge", believe that it is for a reason and listen. Don't let the person that you are helping struggle. Who cares if you never get to see who you're helping, help them anyway.

I Have Found the Answer

Once upon a time

I would walk the streets

looking for any kid

of whom I could beat

Looking for an answer

in the wrong places

so I grew angry

and forgot all my victim's faces

But to anyone who will look my way

I have found the answer today

I found the answer

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer

He bled for me

I found the answer

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer

He gave His only son for me

One day I grew tired

My heart burned

Like an ugly fire

All my victim's faces

came back

and took my memories places

I saw all of them

harming themselves

I knew the feeling

I did it to myself

and I knew I need an answer

but there was no where to look 

I didn't know GOD

Or His Holy Book

But to anyone who will look my way

I have found the answer today

I found the answer

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer 

He bled for me

I found the answer 

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer 

He gave His only son for me

All those who are lost

I understand

All those who are dirty

I understand

One night I laid in bed 

dug a pen in my skin

cried and cried

then dug in again

And now I thank the Lord and His son

that my parents never owned a gun

because if they did

on that night

they would have seen a terrible fright

and I would have been in hell

with a hole-in-one

But to anyone who will look my way

I have found the answer today

I found the answer

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer

He bled for me

I found the answer 

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer

He gave His only son for me

And to all of you who know the answer

raise your hands

so He can see

And to all of you who know the answer

raise your hands

for all of them to see

And to all of who are raising their hands

Lend your hands

to the lost man

Say. "Come and join the party my friend."

And to all of you who are lost

I know the feeling

but he's paid the cost

And if you think you're not clean enough

You're mistaken

You, all of those who's hands are risen

They can testify

Like me

They were once more

dirty than clean

But he can wash it ALL away!

So grab our hands 

So you can raise your own today

I found the answer 

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer

He bled for me

I found the answer

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer

He gave His only son for me

And if you think you're not clean enough

You're mistaken

You, all who's hands are risen

They can testify 

like me

they were once more

dirty then clean

But he can wash it ALL away!

So grab our hands

join us today!

I found the answer 

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer 

He bled for me

I found the answer

His name is G.O.D

I found the answer

He gave His only son for me

You Are God's Gold Coin

In the book of Matthew a few men walk up to Jesus and try to stumble him on his knowledge. They ask if they should give Caesar taxes or not. I do not know their motive behind this question, but I can guess that they were thinking if all their loyalty should be with God, then why be loyal to Caesar? Speaking about the Gold coin Jesus told them....

Matthew 22:20-22 (MSG)
 20"This engraving—who does it look like? And whose name is on it?"
 21They said, "Caesar."
   "Then give Caesar what is his, and give God what is his."

God's name is on you. He made you in his very hands. He planned your family, your life, and he walks beside you on your way. With taxes you give you "gold coins" with our presidents' faces in return you receive a better community with better parks, better emergency responses, better government building. You are God's coin. Give him what is his, and in return he will give you better things.

Actions Speak Louder than Words

Matthew 21:28-32 (MSG)
The Story of Two Sons

28"Tell me what you think of this story: A man had two sons. He went up to the first and said, 'Son, go out for the day and work in the vineyard.'
29"The son answered, 'I don't want to.' Later on he thought better of it and went.
30"The father gave the same command to the second son. He answered, 'Sure, glad to.' But he never went.
31-32"Which of the two sons did what the father asked?"

"Actions speak louder than words." -Abraham Lincoln

Matthew is still my favorite book.

Keep Your Head Up

‎2 Corinthians 10:3-4
New International Version (NIV)
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going." -Joseph P. Kennedy

Though we may look in sorrow at all of those around us who are not like us, who do not have the answer, christ, because they bog us down with hatred, swear words, judgement, we should be rejoicing for they are just like we use to be. Someone lost without an answer. And instead of asking the Lord "Why?" we should be asking the Lord "How". Not, "Why must they swear at me everyday just because they know I'm a christian?" but "How can I help them Lord?" "How can I show them the same love you showed me so that they realize there is no need for words like that?" Not "Why must they persist on trying to convince me that you are not real, and then tell me that I am the one who is forcing my opinions on them?" but "How can I show them the same love that you showed me, the same love that proves your existence without having to say one word?" So to all of you who, like me, just returned from Winterfest, one of the best experiences I have ever had, to a place where you are being bogged down by others and the lack of God, and you are struggling to keep your head up remember try not to ask why, but rather how. "How can I use these unique, weird, and different weapons that you have given me, God?"

An Old Song I wrote a While Back (I thought You Guys Might Enjoy it)

First off I want to apologize that I haven't posted anything in a while. I just haven't found much inspiration lately. I also want to wish you all a very happy new year. I hope you enjoy! :)

A boy walked up to me
The other day
He said I’m sorry
But I have to say

I’m in trouble
Untill the end
And I thought a stranger
Would be a friend
To me

I want to know
Do you have advice
Cause that would be
Especially nice
For me

Well I only have
One thing to say
And this will help you through
Everyday

And I looked at him
And said

Chorus:
Follow your everything
Your heart
Your soul
Your voice
You sing with
Follow your everything
And you’ll be fine
This comes from
The heart of mine

I saw that boy
The other day
Someone walked up to him
To say
I need help
And you look okay
To me

And that boy
Looked up at them
And said
I have only one thing my friend

And that is just
One small word
That will help you through
The pack, the herd,

And he looked at him
And said

Chorus

I saw that person
The next day
Walking around
Whisked away
And stopped by
A very small girl

And she said
I’m sorry to stop you man
But please help me
Yes you can
Cause you seem like a guy
Who’s got it all

Well girl
You are gonna
Be helped
Don’t you send out
A yelp

Cause though
You are really small
My word
Can help you all

And he looked her
And said

Chorus

So their all
Gonna be just fine
They listened to
The word of mine

It came from
The heart of mine
And flowed right through
The grape vine

So when they ask you
For help
Don’t send out
A great big yelp
Just look at them
And say

Chorus x3

Being Like Ruth

"Ruth could see no evil in others' hearts, because she had none in her own." (Mandy Hager)

This is a quote from The Crossing.


I get myself in trouble all the time because I am too oblivious to see the evil ways of those who surround me. Some people see this as a bad thing. I do not. I believe in giving someone the same opportunity to prove themselves, and receive forgiveness as the Lord gives to me.

So I strive to be like Ruth in The Crossing. To not only continue not to believe in the evil ways of others, but to be able to do so because I have no evil ways of my own.

Pizza Delivery Tip
I would suggest that you read the book The Crossing. Unfortunately you may not be able to find it in a library for the book is written by a Kiwi author. So you may have to buy the book off of Amazon. I have not completely finished it yet, but I can all ready tell that it is worth my time.

From my perspective the book is an interesting comment on many things. It's a comment on society and how power can manipulate the ways, once meant to help someone, into ways that harm a whole race of people. It's a comment on how people misinterpret the ways of the bible and create them to be ways of a cult. It's an exciting book that tells the story of a young girl named Miriam who is forced off her island home to move to what she thinks is the holy city of the Lord, but later finds out differently. I think as a Christian you would enjoy this. I think as someone who has no faith or religion, you would enjoy this. I think either way you would enjoy the book.
