words from the wise

these are words that have been spoken by some of the most wonderful and wisest men i know and dont know..

"A lack of humilty will virtually hinder you from recieving whatever God has for you"
-Pastor Cary Gordon
Four lies that are commonly taught about humility
1)if you say your humble than you are not
2) if you don't humble yourself God will do it for you.
3)when you humble you recognize all your faults and failures, thats what makes you humble
4) a humble man has no back bone, he is a doormat.
- Pastor Cary Gordon
*just as a side note God does not humble anyone

"Political moderatism is intellectual sloppines"
-Pastor Cary Gordon
"The divine laws of God are on paper. To be in the family of God you have to take it off the page and write it on your heart."
-Pastor Cary Gordon
"There are no words in the English language that has done more damage than "seperation of church and state."
- Judge Ray Moore when talking about how far America has strayed from the real meaning of seperation of church and state. He also made the statement "seperation of church and stat does not mean seperation of God and government.'

"You compromise life on one end (abortion) don't tell me you wont compromise life at the other end (euthanasia)."

-Pastor Cary Gordon
"Christianity isn't sitting in a pew once a week, but it involves sitting in one (pew) once a week."
- Pastor Larry Gordon

    These are really great quotes :)

    I really like "There comes a point where we stop talking about how bad we are and start talking about the good things God has done." Pastor Kris Vallotton (not sure if you've heard of him) talks about how God sees us as the people we are becoming, He sees our potential--not our shortcomings. It's so encouraging to see things from God's perspective. :)

    Have you ever heard of pastor Judah Smith? OMGosh, he's amazing. He used to be a youth pastor, and he'd come to speak at Generation Unleashed (a huge youth conference) every year. He's now the head pastor at City Church, in Seattle. Anyways, his messages are so good. I've listened to his Purity series a few times now... and I'm actually re-listening to it again this week. All of his sermons are free for downloading online if you are interested in checking him out.

    The 'Why Your Purity Doesn't Work' one is really good. I had to right click it and download it specifically to my computer in order for it to play in my iTunes :)

    And now for the whole purpose of this comment ^_^

    Here are a few of his quotes (I have them on my facebook)

    "Your future is not ahead of you. It's within you."

    "The things we think about most we end up desiring most"

    "You need a vision for your life that propels you beyond momentary pleasures; a purpose that causes you to see past temptation to its consequences and compels you to choose righteousness because of its reward."

i am not so naive

Sometime I wish people would learn not to underestimate me. When I want to get somewhere or get something accomplished I am very capable of doing so. Of course there are always limitations and set backs but I know how to push through it. I lived in a time where our money was tight and we had very little but we made it through.. Just because I am where I am today and don't look like i have ever had to fight my way out of the bottom doesn't mean anything. Looks can and are deceiving. Of course I don't believe in telling what most would call a "sob" story. I am not one who looks for a pity party.. But please know that I do know what it is like to go without in many aspects. I embrace that time in my life and it has taught me to be thankful of what I have. I will never forget it but I also will never return. Was it by choice and my own doing?? Of course not, who chooses to go without? Being born into it is one thing.. but staying in it is another. We all make decision...

negative challenge update #1

I know it has only been a day since I started this challenge, but let me tell you it is not easy. So far I have bit my tongue and have done a good job at not speaking anything out loud. My problem is in my head. It spins with words. I think that will be my roughest spot.. cleaning out my head. It is harder than you think. It's hard to shut off the thoughts that are trying to come out of your mouth.. But so far I can say I am doing better than I thought I would. I hope this can spread. :) sincerely [ME].
