Sometimes is that I see people's potential of who they can be through Christ but get my heart broken. The first time this really happened I finally figured out what God was trying to teach me. He was teaching me about his heart for us, and when people reject him. That was three years ago and I still see people's potential and my heart breaks for them. I just finished reading Velvet Elvis, if you have not read this, you need to. But, reading this book made all of these feelings go from subconscious to my conscience thoughts.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253584073675522557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046648523937223743.post-3978887917311786772010-11-06T14:38:15.612-04:002010-11-06T14:38:15.612-04:00Thank you for sharing these photos and words.

I see so much joy in this boy and this jump represents so much to me. What a leap of faith this boy has taken in moving to a foreign country with a new, yet loving family and will have to adapt to a totally new lifestyle. But the joy on his face as he is jumping represents the presence of Jesus in him as he is with all these children......I couldn't help commenting on this but it is just an amazing photo...<br /><br />Love you guys....we are on this journey with you....adopting sashsa the journeyhttp://www.adoptingsash-thejourney.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046648523937223743.post-87447722831575516182009-08-14T10:55:45.622-04:002009-08-14T10:55:45.622-04:00Glad you have those two with you to make you slow ...Glad you have those two with you to make you slow down and enjoy the journey.

One of the things he said was that any Christian who is not scared by that they still sin is dangerously close to spiritual death.<BR/><BR/>I disagreed, saying we should understand that we'll always sin and aren't meant to live in a constant state of fear. For: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." (1 John 4:18).<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, Proverbs 1:7 is "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."<BR/><BR/>I guess we start out with a fear of even the Lord but as we grow to love Him, the fear is pushed out.corn chowderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061039821832392733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046648523937223743.post-89124561600610851972008-08-21T07:19:00.000-04:002008-08-21T07:19:00.000-04:00Thanks for this post.

I collect stories from students at Bigstuf. All kinds.<BR/>Here is what happened tonight. A dad wrote me a note about how proud he was of his 7 year old son.<BR/>Son’s name is Zack. Zack was at camp last year and heard the stories about how people are dying all over the world because of a lack of clean water. The note i got explained how Zack went home and started selling bottles of water to try to make enough money to send over to Africa to build a well.<BR/>You don’t normally think about a 7 year old boy following thru on such a big task. Here is the deal.<BR/>The kid kept at it. Sold water at his church, at his grand parents church , in his front yard, and kept on going til he made $3300. I didn’t know it when i stood in the audience and read the letter, but Zack was back. After i read what his dad had written there was excitement in the back of the auditorium and the cutest little kid you can imagine came and stood beside me at the center of the auditorium. I asked him why he did it. He just said something to the effect of “people need help”<BR/>A seven year old boy just saved the lives of over a thousand people.<BR/>What have you been doing?<BR/>I had three more stories but i think each one of these needs to stand alone now…so think about this one today. i will tell you more later.<BR/>lannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046648523937223743.post-26757370822370329572008-06-23T20:21:00.000-04:002008-06-23T20:21:00.000-04:00A friend doesn't leave a person hanging with no co...A friend doesn't leave a person hanging with no comments on their blog posts about friendship!<BR/><BR/>On a serious note, a friend to me is like a family member you adopt into your life. Then you're connected through thick and thin, no matter what. Friendship is serious business, not merely knowing someone's middle name, birthday and favorite color. Any idiot can do that. Friendship takes true commitment. And life-long friendships are possible!<BR/><BR/>Love Ya Friend!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857655476205146197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046648523937223743.post-53700661126198108502008-04-13T16:46:00.000-04:002008-04-13T16:46:00.000-04:00This is coolThis is coolThe Singing Ballerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089361418458011064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046648523937223743.post-52488866253102811692008-04-13T16:44:00.000-04:002008-04-13T16:44:00.000-04:00Hi Dad, wow that was deep...Hi Dad, wow that was deep...The Singing Ballerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089361418458011064noreply@blogger.com
