With my whole heart

Someday, I hope I can gain enough courage to sing this. This song really touched me the first time I heard it, and it still does. If I do things half-hearted, I'll get half-hearted results. If I do things whole-hearted, I'll get whole-hearted results.

1st Verse
Talk about peace
And talk about real joy
I'm talking 'bout things
I've never talked about before
There's two roads to go
But only one road for me
I've seen both sides
And I'm as sure as I can be
Lord I want you to know
That this double life is through
And everything ALL of me
I'm giving to you

Chorus
With my whole heart
I'm gonna love you
With my whole life
I'm gonna live it for you
Take my heart
Every secret part
Whole hearted
In love with you

Bridge
I'm not divided
In my heart anymore
Oh, it's you and only you
That I'm living for

Thoughts...

Isn't it wierd how people blame you for the decisions that other people make. And also how you can try your hardest to include someone and yet they say that you don't. The way things have been going lately, it's like... whoa. When did this all happen? And why so fast and all at the same time? Part of you says just run away from it, not to completely give up and walk away from God but just go somewhere where you don't have to deal with it all. But then there's that one thing that you just can't leave behind, that you love too much. God is just wanting to make you stronger and although its hard, you've just got to hold on with everything no matter what. It doesn't matter what anyone else is doing or the way anyone else is living. You just have to remember that God will never leave you or forsake you and you just have to "Keep On Keeping On!"

Youth...

was sooooo much fun tonight. All I can say is girls are better than boys :P lol. well no I'm gonna say more than that but just thought I would make sure that was said. lol... ANYWAY... Scavenger Hunt tonight.

toilet seat cover
i think that's everything...
idk about everyone else but i had a blast.
afterwards we were supposed to meet the guys at Red Robin and they ended up getting there like 30 minutes after us
so anyway i dont feel like writing anymore.
I feel sick to my stomach. Hopefully I feel better 2mrw. cuz i gotta work. goodnite:D

Just thought I would share this...
I was thinking of a message I heard at On Course I think it was.
"If he can't say no then he's not your God"
So... why don't people get it?!?!
Ugh. It's just so frustrating.
Pastor just wants the best for us, and it's like people don't
even care what he has to say. If they loved him like they say they do
and they love God, then they'll obey him.
I don't even know what more to say because it's just so irritating.
So if I think of more to say... I'll add to it.

K, so I have more to add...
Tonight, Bro. White preached right along the lines of this same thing.
About second guessing God's anointed. When he gave the title, I remembered Pastor himself preaching the same thing on Sunday. Questioning authority.
So I'm just praying that it really sunk in. And that I don't ever question what God's anointed says myself :D

Can you pass the test?

Pastor Neumann August 24th, 2008
Sunday PM Preaching



"Can you pass the test?"

Scripture:

Genesis 37:4



1. Test of Persecution
Will you lose faith when the pressure is on, or will you hold on?

2. Test of Bitterness
Will you hold on to your resentment when you've been done wrong?

3. Test of Integrity
Will you obey when nobody is watching? Will you be loyal when trials
come & all odds are against you?

4.Complaint Test
How will you take it when you've been done wrong?

5. Selfishness Test
Will you only think about yourself? Somone always has a worse situation
than you do. WIll you think of someway to help other when you've been
done wrong? It's not all about you. It's about others.

6. Test of being forgotten
What will you do when nobody notices all your hard work? You've poured
your life into someone & they act as if you're non-existent.

*You'll never be disappointed if you have the mindset that your giving it
all for the kingdom of God.

7. Pride Test
If you get haughty, he will take your gift away. If you don't use your gift, he'll
take it away. You need to give God the glory in what he gives you and uses you
for.

DO IT ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!
