Who would have ever imagined that I would be this far from my house doing something for the lord. To me it is just a feat that is simply amazing. Sometimes I feel that I am undeserving to even be in this grace and spotlight,&amp;nbsp; but all in all I am thankful for the chance and opportunity to do God's will. The first day has so far been great. I pray that the rest may be the same, if not even better.&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/611272519/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Friday, August 17, 2007</title><link>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/610660558/item/</link><guid>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/610660558/item/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Aug 2007 14:41:31 GMT</pubDate><description>We are people under the grace of a high and mighty God. We're under the reign of a God of love and mercy, whom forgives us when we mess up completely and who allows us a second chance when the rest of the world does not. Many people do not believe that this high and mighty God exist, rather they chose to deny his presence and existence. They try and do anything and everything to disprove the God that is, that was, and that will be. But what are they really gaining? In trying to justify the unjustifiable, they are simply losing themselves in an already lost world. I respect other people's opinions, and I try not to judge a person because of them. God made each and everyone of us and allowed us freedom to choose our paths, life or death. I want to become a testimony of that God, so that when others see me, they see a little bit of him in me. I'm a long way away, but everyone needs to start somewhere.&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/610660558/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, August 13, 2007</title><link>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/609734811/item/</link><guid>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/609734811/item/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Aug 2007 02:06:46 GMT</pubDate><description>Our Emotions are so inconsistent.

Something we ourselves set to direct (get this) &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ourselves&lt;/span&gt; in the right direction. We lose focus way too many times and commit too many errors go to on living without a central focus. I want to live life in such a way that I do not regret any given moment. That if I cry, my tears be of joy and happiness and not of sorrow. Jesus was a man of sorrows for he carried the burden of each and everyone of our sins. No sin is big, and no sin is small, i consider all sin the same. They are vile, dirty, and unacceptable. Why do we continue to sin if we know that Christ died for our sins. Imagine that every time was commit a sin we crucify and kill Christ one more time. It is as if we are committing murder each and everyday. He carried our sin as well as our sorrows ... the pain he felt, he felt for us all. Us = you and I. We fall ... but he lifts us all and calls for attention and focus. What is my mission ... what is my goal ... what do I want from this life? Where will it get me .... and how do I go about doing?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lord ... show me the way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/608964197/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, August 05, 2007</title><link>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/608315438/item/</link><guid>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/608315438/item/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Aug 2007 19:25:00 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;C.H.A.N.G.E&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;We always shutter when people critique our very existence. We become defensive and self righteous trying to figure out excuses for why we do the things that we do. But in such a spirit of self righteousness we never consider &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Change&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Change&lt;/span&gt; to us is something extraordinarily evil. It is a force that we do not reckon with or even mention. Its as if we have instilled in our minds that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Change &lt;/span&gt;is something negative and that it can only bring about destruction. Yet there always comes a point where our minds meet our hearts and they have an extensive meeting about many issues. They discuss the past, the future, love, hate, intelligence, good decisions that were made, bad decisions that were made, but one topic that they always seem to skip over is the topic of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Change&lt;/span&gt;.Think about it this way. The world as we know it has many defects, one prime example are the issues occurring in Darfur. Genocide has overtaken the country as countless lives are being exterminated each and everyday. Imagine the United Nations have a meeting and discussing oil prices, embargoes, democracy, but totally skipping over the situation in Darfur. We are a society full of fear. Fear of what is to come and fear of change. Fear dwells so strongly within our hearts that at times i feel that we are so fearful, that we never truly live. We can't ... we're too scared. So I say this ...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lord, I want to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Change &lt;/span&gt;I don't want to be fearful anymore. You have given me this life to be different, to make a&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Change &lt;/span&gt;in this world. If we want to see the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Change,&lt;/span&gt; then we must be the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Change. &lt;/span&gt;I want to live ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><comments>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/608315438/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, August 05, 2007</title><link>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/608314248/item/</link><guid>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/608314248/item/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Aug 2007 19:08:14 GMT</pubDate><description>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Proverbs 27:5&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Better is open rebuke &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; than hidden love.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Chapt 1 :14 hebrews&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those
who will inherit salvation?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 corinthian 13:1-11&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This will be my third visit to you. "Every matter must
be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses."&lt;sup&gt;[&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=54&amp;amp;chapter=13&amp;amp;version=31#fen-NIV-29029a" title="See footnote a" target="_new"&gt;a&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;span class="sup"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;I already gave you
a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On
my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others, &lt;span class="sup"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through
me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you. &lt;span class="sup"&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by
God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with
him to serve you. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="sup"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;Examine yourselves to see whether you are in
the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless,
of course, you fail the test? &lt;span class="sup"&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;And I trust that you will
discover that we have not failed the test. &lt;span class="sup"&gt;7&lt;/span&gt;Now we pray
to God that you will not do anything wrong. Not that people will see that we
have stood the test but that you will do what is right even though we may seem
to have failed. &lt;span class="sup"&gt;8&lt;/span&gt;For we cannot do anything against the
truth, but only for the truth. &lt;span class="sup"&gt;9&lt;/span&gt;We are glad whenever we
are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection. &lt;span class="sup"&gt;10&lt;/span&gt;This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when
I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority—the authority the Lord
gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 tim 4:6&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="sup"&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;If you point these things out
to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the
truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 juan 8&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but
that you may be rewarded fully.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Psalms 15:1-5&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="sup"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt; LORD, who may dwell in your
sanctuary? &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Who may live on your holy hill? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="sup"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt; He whose walk is blameless &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and who does what is righteous, &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; who speaks the truth from his heart &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="sup"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt; and has no slander on his tongue, &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; who does his neighbor no wrong &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and casts no slur on his fellowman, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="sup"&gt;4&lt;/span&gt; who despises a vile man &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; but honors those who fear the LORD, &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; who keeps his oath &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; even when it hurts, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="sup"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt; who lends his money without usury &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and does not accept a bribe against the
innocent. &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He who does these things &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; will never be shaken.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;5:4 ecclesiates&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="sup"&gt;4&lt;/span&gt; When you make a vow to God,
do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. &lt;span class="sup"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt; It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill
it. &lt;span class="sup"&gt;6&lt;/span&gt; Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do
not protest to the temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake." Why
should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? &lt;span class="sup"&gt;7&lt;/span&gt; Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore
stand in awe of God.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Proverbs 1:32&lt;/p&gt;

I can't help feeling hopeless and desperate needing a divine touch from the lord. I can't help feeling useless and wasted, as if I have no purpose whatsoever in this world. Last night was a bad night but I owe that all to myself. I am so unsure of the future and of my life that sometimes it feels that I am a sinking ship in the water trying to bring everyone down with me. And truthfully that is not what I want to do. I want people to escalate to such a high level that their spiritual lives and physical lives will bask in glory. This feeling of helplessness comes from deep within. It is a virus that is tied down with pain, bolted with agony. It must leave before I hurt anymore people. I love my friends and I love my family, and I don't want to lose them because of this death stricken disease.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><comments>http://missionaryspirit.xanga.com/607156423/item/#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
