Bible Verses

John 3:16-17

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

Psalm 23:1-4

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

Modesty

Modesty is the best policy. 

What is modesty anyways? To me modesty is respecting and valuing yourself. Modesty is saving yourself for the one who you are going to marry. 

Modesty is not wearing ultra short skirts and dresses. Or wearing shirts that don't cover everything. It's knowing that you are a child of God and that you are of worth. Because you are.

Getting the most out of my education

For the next 3 or 3 1/2 years I will be enrolled at a four year university. Even though I have an associates degree it will take me longer than 2 years to finish this bachelors. I will lost one semester in LA interning, which sound like a lot of fun.  I am trying to get an internship this summer in Chicago for a tv or film production company so I can have on the job experience. Either that or go on a missions trip, haven't decided yet.

I have only been here for 2 days but I am stoked. Ready to start learning and to get one step close to my dream. Which if you don't know already is Steven Spielberg + Walt Disney + Robin Williams (female version.)

In addition to the blog posts about life and God I will include some posts about my college experience and how things are going.

Children of God

"Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King." Hello My Name is- Matthew West

 

 

We are the saints, we are the children, we've been redeemed, we've been forgiven
We are the sons and daughters of our God
We are the saints, we are the children, we've been redeemed, we've been forgiven
We are the sons and daughters of our God

Children of God, sing your song and rejoice
For the love that He has given us all, oh, whoa
Children of God, by the blood of His Son
We have been redeemed and we can be called." Third Day-  Children of God

 

 

We are all Children of the One True God. Whether we are Catholic, Protestant, Muslim. We all deserve to be treated like we are made in the image and likeness of God. Cause we are.

 

Abortion, religious violence, violence in general, intolerance, bullying. These are the opposite of what God wants us to do. He wants us to realize that everyone is human and everyone is the same. It shouldn't matter what we believe in; it should be what kind of person we are and how we are going to change the world,

College update: Move in day!!!!!

Just got settled and the internet connection up. Moving in was stressful but not that it is over the stress has pretty much gone. My roommate is nice and we have our room rearranged like we want it.

The campus is a lot bigger than I had imagined and had seen at orientation. Might get lost a few times but I have 2 days before classes start.

The catholic church near campus is nice and pretty big. Mass went well and the old guy we had for a priest seemed nice and had a good homily.

Happiness

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." -Buddha 

"The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it." - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Happiness is something that should be shared. It's something that was meant by God to be and to be given to others.

Intolerence/Kindness

"The greatest problem in the world today is intolerance. Everyone is so intolerant of each other."- Princess Diana

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." -Aesop

In my opinion one of the greatest problems in the world is intolerance. If everyone just got together and talked over their problems instead of resorting to violence the world would be a better place.

Was talking to a friend about Religion and Politics and I realized that if everyone realized that everyone is human and needs to be treated as such then the world would be a better place.

So like Ellen DeGeneres says, "Be kind to one another."

What it means to be a Christian

Little stuff
Big stuff
In between stuff
God sees it all the same

While I may not know you
I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause he made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
Tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every thing you do
-Do Everything by Steven Curtis Chapman

To me being Christian means, whatever you do in your life, do it for God and to glorify God. Whether you are a nurse, writer, teacher or run a camera for a local news station. Put your heart in everything you do and show God's love. And smile because you never know how it will make someone's day and change their life.

"Don't shine so others can see you, shine so that through you others can see him."- C.S. Lewis
