Helloo! Well I admit I have been quite lazy in my blogging but hey! It’s the holidayz aint it? Ah holidays nothing but sleeping in, hanging out and earning money to do expensive things! And I must tell you I am loving it!

Well today was a hard dayz work over at Kawerau doing some things at one of the rental properties my parents own. I had to shovel dirt and smash concrete and fix a clothesline for starters. Ya know, the usual. Cant complain at 10 bucks an hour though! Its also my mum’s birthday today and I’m just blogging while the rest of the family celebrate. (I had to make time)

Anyway, another good thing about the holidays is that there is a whole lot more time to just chill out with God. As God is my best friend and saviour, I find spending time out with him is just as good as spending a day with my friends. Lately I have been praying earnestly for vision and passion to serve him. I believe my purpose is known to God and he is waiting to reveal it to me in his perfect timing while blessing me and providing for my needs. He is such an awesome God and I am so grateful that I can worship him freely in this country. Because I know my Christian brothers and sisters overseas in places like China risk their lives to do God’s work and they die for it sometimes. So if anyone has a moment, why don’t you spare a prayer for Christian brothers and sisters risking their lives to share the gospel.

I hear some of their stories and I never fail to be inspired that I should be out there risking my life for the glory of God. Nothing would be more exciting to me! And I know that if I should die, I wouldn’t fear because I would just go straight to heaven to be with my precious Jesus Christ. He died for me so theoretically I owe him my life! So I have givin it to him to use it however he wants. I trust in God that he knows the future and how things will turn out. Who better to trust than a loving God who knows this? Well Im not saying that I’m perfect; Im totally not! I find myself falling back into sin many times! But God knows my heart and he knows that I am trying my hardest. He knows I’m only human and I have my weaknesses; what I need to do is acknowledge my weaknesses to him and lay down my burdens. He will set me free! Thank you God! What an honour to be your son!

There is a song by a band called Form that has great lyrics that worship the Lord and lays down our troubles. It goes like this:

“I come before

before you now

And I lay my burdens down.

Prince of peace

Counsellor

Son of the father I adore

I love you lord

You’re all I have

You’re all I evar really want

Your face is all I see

You put a new song in my heart

A song of praise to you oh Lord

And I will worship all my life

Trust in the Lord. Halleluiah…”

It doesn’t do justice just to write down the lyrics, U really need to hear the song. But the message is clear. Based on the verse:

“Cast all your cares on him for he cares for you.” The verse pretty much explains itself but if you have any problems, no matter how big or small, lay it at the cross and God will help you ‘because he cares for you.’

There you have it! I was inspired to do this entry while listening to a song by the Supertones called 20/20. It is about deciding what to do with your life while you are still living. The bridge goes like this:

"What will I say when I'm faced with his glory?
The saints and the angels as I tell my story...
Will the works I've accomplished be worthy of heaven?
What will I think looking back?
What was gold? What was dross?
What was gain? What was loss?
What will stand? What was fleeting?
And What will I change while my hearts still beating?"

I really got thinking about what the words meant. Especially the last part. I asked myself  "What will I change while my hearts still beating?" Its the sort of question I should ask myself every day. Anyway, I hope some people can benefit from that as I have.

Youth group tomorrow! Im excited cos I have invited a few of my non-christian friends! Hopefully They will really enjoy it and want to hear more about what the leaders have to say and all! I really care about the salvation of my friends! But I must head off to bed now. Hopefully I'll be able to get up earlier tomorrow to finally get dat wabbit!
