REVIVAL (Lord, use me!)

"I believe this stuff, and you may call me crazy, but I believe in the name of Jesus Christ.  I believe that NOTHING should be raised above it.  And I believe that I will be a part in the greatest revival in the history of mankind."  (Peter Furler, Newsboys)

That is my prayer.  I just finished working out and this all came running back to my head what Peter said in an interview that I watched a while ago, and just popped in my head, and made me realize that is what i want.  I don't want to be one of the "Christians" who sits on the fence doing the good "Christian-thing" but never really is in a position to let God seriously use them, either cause they don't want to be really used or their walk with Jesus is so bad and undisciplined (or however you want to say it) that He just flat out CAN'T use them cause they are not in a position to be used in His plan.

God, I want to be a part of the greatest revival this world has ever seen, and let me discipline myself so I can be used by you and not get passed over for what you really want for me cause i would not be ready or willing to humble myself in Your ways and truly be your follower.  I want SO many people come to know you, that we would just be blown away!  Make me your instrument and do what you have to do in me to get me ready!!!

Lord, send revival, and start with me!

Ever just have that feeling that you know something is wrong and you just can't explain why.  I mean, nothing in particular or area of life, but just that something feels wrong.  Just very weird is all.  Need to pray about it.

Much love to you all and wow am I getting unmotivated to update on here...ha!

Time for another update.  Just got back from another trip to see Anne Marie in Boston and work on wedding stuff.  I made great time on both trips for sure, so that was a relief cause i kept forgetting how long that trip really was.  On Thursday, we went to Chi Alpha after I got there for their small group Bible study.  Friday began wedding stuff as we did cake testing, trying on tuxes, and meeting with Pastor Greg.  Then we hung out with Andrew that night and watched a very powerful movie on AIDA.  Just reminded me of a reason why i like Anne Marie so much and her heart towards those who have HIV and AIDS.

Saturday, we went to Ken and Sabrina's wedding and it was great.  For only knowing those two for a couple of months, it was great to see everything come together and had a great time at the reception as well.  Another great time to dance with AM, ha..and did feel like I was starting to get comfortable dancing as well.  Who would have figured on that one??..ha

Sunday, we got up and went out to eat for breakfast with some of her friends before going to church.  We then had a couple of hours off and then I finally got to see the reception hall and it was nice.  We then worked on picking invitations and did entree tasting with a few of her friends as well, so i can definitely say that I ate well this weekend.  I am excited yet still a bit nervous knowing how much of a life change this will be but i know that all of this is normal.

Just back to work besides that.  Still waiting on my final grade from my class so hopefully the last paper should be graded soon and I can know what I got. 

OK, leave some love and have a good one!

"My Jesus" by Todd Agnew Which Jesus do you follow? Which Jesus do you serve? If Ephesians says to imitate Christ Then why do you look so much like the world? Cause my Jesus bled and died He spent His time with thieves and liars He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant So which one do you want to be? Blessed are the poor in spirit Or do we pray to be blessed with the wealth of this land Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness Or do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sand Cause my Jesus bled and died for my sins He spent His time with thieves and sluts and liars He loved the poor and accosted the rich So which one do you want to be? Who is this that you follow This picture of the American dream If Jesus was here would you walk right by on the other side or fall down and worship at His holy feet Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a clear complexion Is how you see Him as He dies for Your sins But the Word says He was battered and scarred Or did you miss that part Sometimes I doubt we'd recognize Him Cause my Jesus bled and died He spent His time with thieves and the least of these He loved the poor and accosted the comfortable So which one do you want to be? Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church The blood and dirt on His feet would stain the carpet But He reaches for the hurting and despised the proud I think He'd prefer Beale St. to the stained glass crowd And I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud I want to be like my Jesus! I want to be like my Jesus! Not a posterchild for American prosperity, but like my Jesus You see I'm tired of living for success and popularity I want to be like my Jesus but I'm not sure what that means to be like You Jesus Cause You said to live like You, love like You but then You died for me Can I be like You Jesus? I want to be like my Jesus  For those of us who claim to be a Christian and be a follower of Jesus, isn't it amazing how many times things that Christ calls us to be like him will still find a way to make us uncomfortable, challenge us, and even offend us at times.   Which one will we serve: the one that we make up in our mind or the one who really lived and died in our place?  The question is do you want to be like our REAL Jesus?

Yeah it's been a while.  Can't make this long, but just wanted to give a quick update.  Ha...I have survived.  I finally finished up my grad school class last Thursday when I turned in my paper (which came to 13-14 pages body and 19 counting everything else), plus having to be up to 3am finishing the night before.  Ha..reminds me of how much i don't miss that from college.

OK, thats al for now but will update more later!
