Tis So Sweet To Trust

Trust is not something you feel something you give.... not something you get and keep, something you maintain everyday. I had a friend tell me they didnt trust someone and it got me thinking about what trust actually is. Thats all for now any thing to add be my guest!

So they say

You hear things like "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" and "pain is only weakness leaving your body" and things along the lines of "failure breeds success."
Where in a way i believe those things can be true.. I really think...ok i guess i know that its very very important to realize that the way things are dealt with is the most important part of this puzzle. If a painful or life changing situation or a failure is dealt with in the wrong way it can be extremely disastrous to someones life, mentality and well being. In the same way if a painful or life changing situation and even a huge failure is dealt with in the right way and with wisdom (and at least from what i've found help from someone wiser and God) it can propel you forward to great success and joy and to things you never imagined where possible. i guess i had heard this a few two many times on tv and around so it made me want to address it on a blog just to read myself type haha.

Spirit in the sky

Im blogging this 2 days after i actually wanted to... fooled myself once shame on me or something like that......maybe not. Anyway I was listening to a very inspiring message on sunday via Pastor Dave, and he told a story that prompted a great memory and an interesting topic. He was talking about a series of messages he gave, i think 6 or so, and the last one had an alter call and the Holy Spirit was moving strongly. he tripped up by the pulpit and he said people thought he was falling because of the spirit but really he just tripped. anyway i instantly thought of my wonderful friend jake roost. We were sitting in a service together where the pastor in the middle of his message stuttered.... i think we both just wrote it off as just what it was but the man stopped did the same exact thing and then continued to laugh for close to an hour literally walking thru the isles stopping looking people in the eyes and laughing at them until they laughed back, and i think he might of blown on a couple of people as well. anyway i dont think that jake was born with a volume control in quite settings like that (if for some reason you ever read this jake thats mostly i joke and i love you) but as the man was walking towards our row jake starts to say at a somewhat loud volume.... dude is he serious.... whats going on.... for real he better not laugh at me.... i seriously think i might punch him.... they should put this in the brochuer or something... tony im seriously leaving omg omg omg omg. I couldnt stop laughing and maybe they thought i was catching what was happening but ya it was very interesting and i love jake for the honesty and hilarity. All this being said im not saying that the dude was faking or that these types of things don't happen but im also not saying that its never fabricated. God can do what he wants and sometimes im willing to bet its radical.

Amazing Grace

I was thinking about when people say "Jesus completely changed my life" and how unbelievably true that is for me, and for every single person for that matter. Even someone who has grown up in the church or never really strayed. I know at least for me as I get to know Him more everyday and really learn more about Gods personality and what he wants out of my life, things change, and ideas change, and the core of who i am is moved and molded. In the past when i heard a testimony or evangelistic sermon that included a variant of (God completely changed my life), i would ignorantly think "that is amazing.... but God didn't do that for me and ill never be able to say that." In actuality He did and He does continually in a vast amount of ways, and i need it and love it every step of the way. I guess basically the thought that Jesus changed where my life would be headed, and is shaping me everyday is extremely comforting and without a doubt i can say Jesus completely changed my life and is doing so everyday! I count myself lucky to have friend who is and does so many things and so perfect at them all........ God is a multi- tasker!

until next time?
