Pride and Pain

I've been suffering from this rotten tooth for years, and everytime the pain flares up I promise myself I'm going to see a dentist and rake care of it. But when I actually start feeling better, I think well I don't have to spend money on it now, I'm alright now. Me and my friend Chairii were just talking about how sin can affect our body. It is because of my pride and greed that made my toothaches last for so long. If u had just spent the money and asked for help years ago, I'd be Scott free now. Thank you Lord for showing me that I need to humble myself more, and not to hold money so tightly. I PRAISE your name Lord, now and forever!

God will provide

After going to the basement i signed up for the Atlanta ministry trip. After a few weeks I realized that I didn't have enough money to keep saying my mom back and save up for the trip. I requested a few days off work, so I decided to pick up a few extra shifts. Emily calls me today an tells me that she has a few extra seats available for the trip. And now I can't go because I made plans to work this weekend. God will provide a way if you trust in him with all of your heart, he can make anything happen, it isn't luck, or wishing or thinking positive, it is through prayer and Gods will that we can truly be happy. Jesus lived his life, accomplished the work he was sent to do all without worrying about money, our mission on earth is to do Gods will so we can return to him, money is an imaginary obstacle, I say imaginary because it means nothing in Gods kingdom, so it should hold no weight in our hearts and minds.  It was because of my lack of faith in Gods power that I am not going on the ministry trip, and I feel ashamed, but I also feel as though this has taught me an invaluable lesson. Thank you God for everything you do.

The basement at the Boutwell

July 26 was wild, the basement was held for the first time ever at the boutwell auditorium. Praising and singing with 6k others was more than I could comprehend, it was so surreal being there and knowing that it was where I was supposed to be. The auditorium was getting hot, VERY hot, we moved the worship to the streets downtown, and had so many ppl walk up and join us. I used to think Christian music was lame or goofy, I couldn't have been more wrong, on top of original rap and hip hop songs (that sound great) the audio team remixed and changed the lyrics of modern hip hop songs. So much fun, and most importantly it was done in the name of God for him, praising him and loving each other.
