Waging War

"This long of a struggle
Finally opened up my eyes.
Revolution's not easy
With a Civil War on the inside.

No need to hide anything anymore.
Can't return to who I was before."

Think. Speak. Love.

Challenge for today.
Tell someone what they need to hear in Love.

Time For Change

one person can change the world

So it has been super long since I have posted on this. I'm not sure why I am horrible at keeping up with things like this when I sleep a total of 3 hours a day. So I decided to get back on and keep what I said I would do.

So I went threw my old posts and found two that I had started and hadn't finished, So I decided to re-write them and post them. Probably will be short, however, I figured I need this right now so I will write and show for others and also for myself.

So I was thinking about everything going on in my life. I'm in a rough patch with everything, from losing friends, to losing my position in life, and to just a bunch of other things. And I was wondering what I was suppose to do in life at that moment for God. Then he spoke to me. He was so subtle, yet so loud at the same time. He began to talk about change. I began to question. Because I do that a lot and want answers. SO I asked what about change and who, what, where, when and why.

And he answered. Everyone. Love. Now. Here. For me and for them. I began to think about that and wonder. Like why do we see something so hard, when in reality it's so simple? We tend as human beings to make things difficult when they don't have to be. Which when you think about it kinda sucks. But enough of that rant, back to Jesus talk:).

So I was reflecting on what was said to me. Then I remembered a project I did for Mrs. Ruuamau's english class on someone who changed our life. And I said one thing that for some reason was actually kind of smart. (My project was about Jesus) And I said I know this project was for things that have changed the world, but He changed my own world. And that's more than enough for me.

And I thought about it. Like right now I did. And people are so focused on changing everyone and everything. Which is fantastic. But how can we start a fire, if we don't start first get the small spark going?

So when you go out today. I challenge you think on a smaller scale for the day. And see whose world you can change.

Welcome to the Revolution

Hi again:) I haven't posted much on this as much as I have wanted, but I have
been trying to get all my thoughts into line so I can post what I've been thinking:)
So after Britney told me to keep my promise of posting God gave me a thought I have been
having recently. So here it is:
The Revolution.

Where are you brother's and sister's in Christ? Why do we lay in complacency when there is so much for us to be doing.
"We often ask God to show up. We pray prayers of rescue. Perhaps God would ask us to be that rescue, to be His body, to move for things that matter. He is not invisible when we come alive. I might be simple but more and more, I believe God works in love, speaks in love, is revealed in our love. I have seen that this week and honestly, it has been simple: Take a broken girl, treat her like a famous princess, give her the best seats in the house. Buy her coffee and cigarettes for the coming down, books and bathroom things for the days ahead. Tell her something true when all she's known are lies. Tell her God loves her. Tell her about forgiveness, the possibility of freedom, tell her she was made to dance in white dresses. All these things are true."
(twloha)
Now this doesn't change the fact that we should always be praying for everything that is going on and what not so don't think that at all. But, As Christians we are called to nothing less then a Revolution. A Revolution that would shake the world, that would change it upside down and inside out! We as Christ's body should be sheltering the broken, loving the un-loved, and showing the love. Now this Revolution is happening in all sorts of places around the world, but this is a call to all Christians to raise up! To take our threshold in History and rise up as a generation who are ready for this task given to us! We find ourselves lost in daily life(I struggle with this just as anyone else) doing everything except what we should be. So this is a battle cry to all of us to listen to God that when we pray these prayers of rescue that we hear God telling us right back that we are his rescue to the world.
In His name Amen:)

Love lost

So I have been thinking about what to write on here and I guess it will be just
thoughts on certain aspects of things, or things that I see.
Which brings me to this afternoon. We and Mac(or Kate) went to go get
my check from work. Before that we went to work, we stopped to get gas
at 7-11 so we could make the journey. As I was filling up we looked up to see this women in her
30's pushing her car by herself. So I went and pushed her car for her
while she steered. When we reached the parking spot
she thanked me and then took her small child out of the back seat to make sure he was
okay and not over heated. I didn't think much about it until Mac and I left the mall
and we started talking it. Why hadn't anyone else helped her push her car at all?
She was obviously struggling with it and there were plenty of people that
could have helped her at any point of her struggle.
Yet no one did.

Which brings me to the question: Where did all the love go?
When did letting struggle continue become acceptable. I know a lady pushing
a car isn't something horrible that you should get up in arms about, it's not that, but it's just the thought that no one even tried to help her. That we can't take 5 minutes out of our
day to show love in a world where love is an endangered action.

What if we as a body changed from a body of hate and judgement and into
the very thing God intended for us? That we loved. We showed kindness when no one
else would. That we showed God by our actions despite what the world says?
Pick someone today and show them love

New Beginnings

So I decided to make a blog for some reason not entirely sure why.
I wonder how many start out like this. I figure that most of
my posts will be some type of reflection on life and its ever growing
complexities so I sound smart. In reality probably not :) However
If you have any questions that I could reply to about anything
I would be more than happy to answer them:)


Blessings,
Danny
