The Choice of God

The Maker of the World had a choice that lay before Him
It wasn’t an easy choice
It was a choice rather or not to create man with full knowing that man would not chose Him
And God decided to make man. But not just to create man, make them in His image
That was another choice and God said yes
Then God had a choice to create women and once again, chose to
But they sinned. God could have killed man
right then and there
Instead, God chose to love man in spite of his imperfections
The LORD had a choice to give us what we need, and
not just that, but also what we want sometimes
God could have decided to strike man down time after time
But he chose to give us one more chance.
And one more chance…
And another chance…
Jesus could have chose not to come because we didn’t deserve it. But He stunned us with His grace
and chose us even though sometimes we
still don‘t chose Him
God had a choice to love us because love must have a choice. Love is a choice, not feelings
The Maker of the World had a choice
And He chose us

Let's not take grace for granted or use God! We so don't deserve what God's giving us. God isn't meant to be taken for granted. Give God the glory He deserves.

Swimming pools, hot days, camp, and summer treats

I just got done creating a fruit pizza! On the yummy treat (that we actually haven't had yet!), which I mostly made by myself, is strawberries, rasberries, and blueberries. It was very simple to make and hopefully will taste really good. I wrote on the pizza, "(made a heart) U DAD" on it. I made the heart with raseberries with blueberries in them and U Dad with blueberries. Summer goes by so fast!!

Funny Guy

We went and we saw Christian comedian Taylor Mason last Friday. And what do I say?

It was funny!

He had puppets and was a intelegist-pretty much he talked for the puppets in different voices but didn't move his mouth, not to mention did well at it. Taylor had a lot of different puppets and we enjoyed them, as well as his amazing piano skills. He was a good Christian comedian because sometimes because Christian funny people aren't very nice. But way to go, Taylor! My sister pointed out that it's weird how we pay people to make us laugh. If you'd like to see some of his stuff, you can go to http://www.tangle.com/ and type in Taylor Mason in the search box. Comment what you think about him!

If you love me, you will obey what I command

Everyday, everywhere, we have rules. In our house, we're told not to run. In the library, we have to check out the books. We are expected not to yell during the sermon at church. The list keeps going. We get them in church, public-parents are big. Once my youth pastor told me that if he didn't have his parents, he probably would have done a lot of bad things. I think the same about me-if my parents let me do whatever, I'd probably make a lot of bad choices that I might later regret. God gives us our parents to protect us and our parents give us rules because they love us (yes!! Seriously). They want what's best for us, they want us to be great. A good son is the pride of his Dad.
Have you ever thought how God doesn't give us rules? He doesn't say "do this" "don't do that". God wants you to obey Him because you love Him, not because you don't have a choice. (John 14:15). If we love God, we will totally, seriously do what He tells us. It's a reaction to our love for Him. Because Jesus the Messiah came and we no longer need rules or have to sacrifice animals. It's because we no longer live under law (Leveitcus and Deuteronomy-that's two of them-is God's law to the Isralites). We are living under grace. Because of grace, we don't have to follow rules anymore. It's about a relationship with the Creator! God wants to be your friend.
It's not by rules (or doing good things!) how we're saved. It's grace. Ephesians 2:8 says, "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast." We're all saved by grace thru faith. It's not by good works we're saved so we don't have to compare ourselves to other Christians. Please, please let's not live under rules but under grace! Follow God because you love Him, do what He wants because you love Him, not to "get right with Him!"

I amhomschooled

So, right now I am speaking with my friend Emily on the phone. She said that she is still fascinated with phones and emails. "Even though I was born in the phone and email era and is still fascinated with it's neatness. Even though phones were here when I was born." She said.
I laugh. "Unless you were born when Thomas Edison was. Wait, did he make the phone?"
"Yeah, I think so. No, wait."
"Did he invent the phone?" Then my mind had an amazing thought. "No!" I said. "Thomas Edison invented the telep-that's the same thing!" Later, I excitedly exclaimed that he invented the light bulb (I think he also invented the rocking chair). Thanks to Emily's Mom, we confirming it, we discovered that Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone--not Thomas Edison! What can I say? We're home schooled!

You're Sending Out A Message

We are sending out messages with our lives. In everything we do, we tell people what we believe, what we like and don't like, who we are, if we follow God, and on. We are sending it out in the clothes we wear, the words we speak, the music we listen to, the movies we watch. We send out a message in what we do and that tells others and ourselves who we are and what we believe. You can see this when you see people listen to music, do whatever their boy friend wants-that's what they believe. We aren't even conscious of it yet we are always doing it. Don't you want people to receive the "right message?" Next, the next question to ask is what message am I sending out? In my words, thoughts, the sites I look up on the internet, my language, how I spend my time-is that sending out the message that I love people and love God? Is it saying that I love God fully or some of the time.
You are sending a message out to everybody.
Even people you don't know. You are sending a message to your friends, neighbors, family, teachers, youth pastor, co-workers, and boss.There are going to be some people that you only see once in your life-what will they see? Are they going to say, "I want what she has!" Or are they going to not want to be in a church because of what we do? What message are they seeing?Everyone is seeing it.That's right. They can tell who you follow by what you do here. God says don't be like the world even though you're in the world. Have our messages be different than the one's the world is sending out! Have our's be one's of love, acceptance, grace, and forgiveness. Think twice before you do what you've always done.
Have our's be the message that Jesus Christ gave to this world dying of hope and desperate for love.
