reaching spring

its funny how finals studying always grants you the ability to remember forgotten distractions.

--such as this! NOBODY EVER READS OR POSTS HERE!!! [which we will try to fix in spring!] , So next quarter I expect to hear all of your thoughts!! i want to stalk/hear about you guys!!

Anways, good luck studying this week boys. =)

I found this blurb that I wrote last year [i think it was me, unless i copied it from somewhere] that i thought was really random...I dont remember writing it. It was on a document titled "Valentines day" (2007):

"
When I say God hears your prayers, I don’t just mean he hears you, I mean he listens. When I say God listens to you, I don’t just mean he listens, but he answers. And when I say he answers your prayers, I don’t just mean he answers you, but he changes things, he acts, he changes hearts, he changes lives, he changes you."

ahahaha.. uhhh.. i dunno, i'm curious what you guys think? heresy? good poetry? biblical truth? I do miss freshmen year when I had the free time that I would suddenly burst into eccentric, but cheesy thought..


One more thing.. i read this yesterday:

Proverbs 11:7
For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds;
the upright shall behold his face.

Kind of an unusual reminder. But God really truly loves righteous deeds. I think sometimes the qualifier that it adds nothing to salvation, sometimes makes me think for a second that doing good is a less than good thing. But we were created for them! (eph 2:10). When we're saved, he loves to see us do good b/c it makes Him happy, and it makes Him look good, which also makes Him happy. So put on the right heart, and go do good things, and rejoice that you're pleasing God! Because he's saved us, because he enables us, we can please him! =)


study well guys =)

Those are some good thoughts (whether you wrote them or not doesn't matter). I think too often we hear but do not listen, listen but do not answer, etc. Yet God ALWAYS listens, ALWAYS responds according to His Will. It's comforting to know that my prayers, for myself and for my brothers and sisters, are not thrown to the wind - they are laid down at the feet of a holy God!

Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.
Mark 11:24
