God of Justice

read & listen to the words of this song



God of Justice, Savior to all
Came to rescue the weak and the poor
Chose to serve and not be served
Jesus, You have called us
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give
We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go
To act justly everyday
Loving mercy in everyway
Walking humbly before You God
You have shown us, what You require
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out Lord

honesty

realizations from my heart:


  • God is truly amazing and I don't trust Him like I should.
  • When I am having a "bad day" someone else is having it worse.
  • I have friends and family I don't deserve, whom I feel I take advantage of.
  • Often times feel sorry for myself and don't take action - missing God given opportunities.
  • My sin cannot go on any longer, and it's up to me to run away from it.
  • God has blessed so much & I am so greatful.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does."
-james 1:2-8

hmmmm

con·tra·dic·tion
direct opposition between things
compared; inconsistency.





1.) I thought it was so cool that a girl in my health class was wearing a LOVE IS THE MOVEMENT t-shirt, from TWOHA. When I realized that the girl sitting right behind her had an uncountable number of scares on her arm, where she has/had suffered and struggled with self mutilation. I felt so sad, but to uneasy to strike up a conversation.


2.) Though I may complain about school, I feel like I am truly going to miss my comfortable, practically care free lifestyle I have been blessed to with. When I think of school in general, I love it but I hate it. And I can't believe or grasp the fact that in scarce amount of months I will have to take one final step in my high school - wondering what kind of impact I have made on my classmates and teachers.


3.) My job is going really great, I love the people I work with, I get really flexible hours, the pay is so good, everyone is so pleasant and happy to be there, ect. - but I hate being tired and piled up with homework every night .


4.) Last but not least, I can't stand being in photography class! I say lets stick with digital, old school is to much work. And there's not enough time actually behind a camera lens, which is my favorite part. Yet, one of my most enjoyable hobbies is photography.



peace till next time

what's new.

I got a new job (FINALLY! - praise God!).
I sell bread, coffee, and expensive desserts to cute old people.
- what could be better!?
my last "spirit week" was so fun, I actually had fun at school for once.
