dear whoever,

the first of the month is here and i feel like nothing in my life has changed, my relationship with God hasn’t gotten any stronger, and i feel as if it never will……..i’m tired of living the way i am day to day just getting by. God has to be the center of our lives but now-a-days how is that possible? i try to put God first but i’m weak, i try to live life to the fullest but i’m scared, the world is full of things that are fun and exciting, but i’m living my life not being able to do some of these things, i want to have fun but i don’t want to mess up, so i guard myself i put up walls, to block out these things of this world. how can i block out a friend who has no idea who God is and i’m the only person that will ever tell them anything about him? it shouldn’t work like that. i will not do that to someone i love and neither would God. i see people everyday that are hurting and i do nothing about it because i myself am hurting, i want to help but who am i to help someone with maybe one more problem than me. it doesn’t work like that. i know a few people that have helped me but there lives seemed pretty perfect and they were Christians, maybe that’s it maybe i’m not a Christian? or could it be that they weren’t Christians? i’ll never know this is so hard, why is this life just as hard as the one i had before becoming what is known as a Christian? yeah people say i’m a better person for it but all i do is gossip and talk about people who are and aren’t Christians and try to figure out why they are doing the stupid things they do instead of helping them by doing something about it, whether that be praying for them or whatever. this is life is not fun and i’m seriously thinking about going back to my old ways, i wasn’t doing anything wrong when i was “lost” (that’s what christians call it). i don’t understand why we have to label ourselves, i think that God has found everyone, or has he? this is a hard life that i don’t understand, why would God present us with something so difficult after dying for a cause that is suppose to help those hurting. the confusion, the anxiety, and the pain that people go through should not be found in God. so why is it? i thought he has already taken all our hurts and pains.

i do youth ministry and i was wondering what my answer would be if challenged with this statement, and i had no idea how i would answer this?

how would you answer this?

all of the above

POINT OF DIFFERENCE
the tide is turning
this is redemptions hour
in the midst of a world lost for love
You are all we have now
the lost returning
salvation is all around
in the midst of the world broken down
You are all we have now
for You are God and this hope is ours
so Father open the skies
flood the earth with Your light
this is love
to break the world indifferent

our hearts are burning
a fire that won’t burn out
in the midst of a world that’s grown cold
You are all we have now
the earth resounding
the anthem of your reknown
as we lift up our eyes
and look to Your glory

call us out
let the world see
You are God
and this hope is ours
so call us out
let the world see
You are God, as we sing

so Father open the skies
flood the earth with Your light
this is love
to break the world indifferent
as we lift up our eyes
fill our hearts with Your fire
in a world of sin
we’ll be different, the difference

our eyes are open
every chain now broken
in this world
we are different
let Your love become us
as we live to make You famous
in this world
we are different
so call us out
let the world see
You are God, as we sing

so call us out
let the world see
You are God
one and only
in this world
You are all we have now

what i did today

jmenck — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 19:51:54 +0000

ok, so this morning i woke up at about i don’t know 4:45ish so i could be at work for 5:30, so i’m tired……i’ve been hanging out with japes all day, just so i could truely understand a day in the life of james paul brumfield and boy was it exciting, we went out for a walk around the hpc lake, had a picnic, chased it otheraround the parking lot, we even threw grapes to each other, it was the best time i’ve had with him in a long time……nah i’m playin’ but for real i haven’t done much today except hang with jumbo. it always a pleasure hanging with that dude because you never know what to expect and that’s what i love about him. we represent chadsford (that’s the street we grew up on, grindin’ day in and day out) as if you didn’t already know by all the ”gang” colors we wear, the tatoos, bruises, gun shot wounds, scars, you know the norm., we try to hide it but every now and then our ghettoness just comes out of us, i mean shenandoah is not a nice neighborhood, they have dogs, and a near by police station, i mean if i could describe shenandoah in one word it would have to be “GUTTA” because that’s what it is “GUTTA”. i’d say check it out but you might not make it out, so just take my word for it.
