Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

Why did the chicken cross the road?
Not to get to the other side. I have a different theory. I believe that the chicken saw opportunity and wanted to venture out and see what the other side had to offer. He knew there was more to life than just where he was. He wasn't afraid to cross over. I think some how he knew that he would be okay no matter what the outcome was. I admire that chicken. It took until now for me to realize what this question (riddle) really means. :)

What does this question mean to you?

How Many Times Can I Thank Thee?

How did I not know that getting to know Jesus would feel so good and so right?

Please keep me on the same path, your path, I pray;

 

Thank you God, thank you Jesus,

for such a life filled with love, and my love you for you continues to grow.

 

I felt like I was so ignorant and naive before, not looking into the word, just going to church and feeling that was good enough...

 

I thank you for showing me in your own miraculous ways that I could read and understand the Bible and come to you in good faith...

 

Looking to strengthen my faith, grow my love which is limitless.

 

Thank you for coming into the lives of my loved ones, I pray that you continue to come into all of our lives and show us all the righteous way, your way.

 

How many times can I thank thee? I know, for as much as you have done for all!

 

 

HE is So Good

God is good

God is good

God is good

When you’re mad, when you’re sad, God is good

When you’re struggling, when you’re suffering, God is good

He will keep you strong, he will get you through it, God is good

When you’re weak, when you’re down, God is good

This is only a test; our lives are ‘practice’, for what? For an eternal life with God, He is good. He’s preparing this special place which words can’t even describe, for all of us – if we shall be so worthy. Do you believe? Do you accept that Jesus, our savior died for us? To save us? Do you live in His name?

I’m sure trying, learning everyday – more and more – hungry to read and understand the holy bible because God is good, He is so good.  There still so much for me to learn, I pray that I stay on track and let him take my hand and do this right. You only have one life here, one chance, to make things right.

The disagreements caused by the problems that we think we have are just meaningless when you look at the big picture and our true purpose and path, to live a life with Christ in mind and heart first, before all. We all have a path, a purpose in addition to living a life with Christ…let’s pray about it and start living it up to the fullest. Let’s look back and this moment and always remember what’s most important and not let negative emotions distract or cloud our minds and hearts. Let’s stay pure and true to what we believe, now and always.

Philosophize

So I can’t help to think about how beautiful it is outside and how I would rather be out there than be here stuck at work.

Hmm, I will sit here and pretend that I’m in a large open field of daisies like Alice in Wonderland and just let my imagination run…

What if … I didn’t have to work for anyone else? What would I do?

Just act like … there are no worries in the world? What would I do?

I would lie upon the bed of flowers as the warm wind gently blew against my face and as the sun warmed my skin just thinking about this beautiful creation called Earth.

My ‘job’ would be mostly charity work, helping others find work, childcare, education, food, shelter, etc. Preparing children for the future in an after school program teaching them about different professions and of course about Jesus Christ our savior and God, our father.

If only I didn’t have to live to work and I can actually work to live a life of my choosing, of the Lord’s choosing. Perhaps I should realize that I am exactly where God wants me to be at this moment in my life. Just show me the way and I will follow.

Feel free to contact me if you wish to talk about anything, anytime – let’s philosophize!

Life's a Poll

So I asked everyone to take a poll yesterday... I received 6 responses - they're anonymous. I just wanted to share that I've been reading excerpts from "The Purpose Driven Life" and so many points are true. The fact is we need to look for God for guidance, for our purpose and if you already know than you're a big step ahead. If you don't know your true purpose, pray about it. There is a blueprint for everyone. I'm not talking about careers, passions, though they may be part of it - your purpose, the reason why you're here.

 

Don't be afraid to challenge yourself, take smart risks. If you don't - you'll never know! 

 

Looking forward to learning more so that I can share more.

 

Let's have a conversation :)

 

 

Lord I Pray

In the past we have gone astray and now we know that with your help we're on our way to leading a life with you first in mind.

I pray for you to reveal to us the path you have in plan for us. May you do things in your name that are right in faith.

Please watch over our family and friends and may they also see you, may they turn to you. open their hearts to you and join us in this journey called life that you have provided for us - we pray.

Amen

Starting Mon May 5, 2012 - in our early morning conversations, mother and I have been taking turns leading morning prayers. I decided to share my prayer here today.
