"so here it is... one new years resolution i will try and keep. i will be bold enough to want something enough to put my heart out there and get it. something that wont be easy and could bring great disappointment. but as the saying goes... the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you most."
God!
so says col 316 :)
]]>The world cries for men who are strong--
strong in conviction, strong to
lead, to stand, to suffer.
I pray that you will be that kind of
man--
glad that God made you a man,
glad to shoulder the burden of
manliness in a time when to do so will often bring contempt.
It's been fast. Gotta find the purpose.
I know one day, you'll take my fears away
I know one day, You'll do away with my pride
I know one day, I'll see You face to face
I hope one day, we'll hear You say "Well done"
I just can't wait to get home to You
when I think of that one day
Now Hollywood wants to make you think they know what love is.
But I'm a tell you what true love is.
Love is not what you see in the movies.
Its not the ecstasy, its not what you see in that scene
you know what I mean? I'm telling you right now, true love is sacrifice.
Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself
Love is selfless not selfish. Love is God and God is love.
Love is when you lay down your life for another
Whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister
Its even laying down your life for your enemies,
That's unthinkable, but think about that
Love is true
Think.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast
It is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs
You see love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres
Love never fails. Love is everlasting
Its eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time
Love is the only thing that will last when you die
But ask the question why? Do you have love?
There is no greater love than this than he who lays down his life for his friends
Now are you willing to lay down your life for your friends?
You're probably willing to lay down your life for your mother
your father, or your best friends
But are you willing to lay down your life for even those that hate you?
I'm going to tell you who did that
The definition of love is Jesus Christ. He is love
The nails in his hands, the thorns in his brow
Hanging on a cross for your sin my sins
That is love he died for you and me while we still hated him
That is love
God is true love, and if you don't know this love
Now is the time to know, perfect love
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

i am to memorize 160+ for tomorrow's quiz. and this is on top of our standard lesson plan.
A scruffy boy goes walking round on a cold night pondering and his mind goes wandering to a time and place where hope was young. and so he reminisces of this God he misses and he's here and he's crying out.
