Passing thought
God’s love makes me feel uncomfortable…
because like when you make a mistake and no one blames or scolds you,
i don’t deserve it.

thank God for food!
Man something strange has been happening at work and I’m starting to think that is going beyond… coincidence.
Since i started my saving spree for my various forseen expenses this year I’ve been holding back on my spending and faithfully tithing (but it isn’t always that easy)
One expense I have cut out is buying a sub at subway for lunch, even though it is only $5 for a footlong, buying a sub 3 days a week adds up and takes away from my savings.
But for the past week or even 2 there have been broken roast chicken pieces left over in the freezer… now why this is significant is because we can’t sell the broken pieces to customers so we get to eat them for free…
now the first time i thought SCORE, 2nd time.. SWEET, 3rd… huh? 4th time… Ok God i think somethings up… and boy am i thankful! The only time so far that i havent had broken pieces to munch on was when i was supposed to bring my own lunch and i forgot…
God really does provide =D

viewer discretion advised
Ok so aaron’s had some epic drama surrounding his health with the boils that have been poppin up like daisys on his body.
So i decided to share with the world what i have to clean up and rebandage…
here is the boil about 3 weeks ago after it was cut open to drain the pus – That white thing is a guaze mat to stop the wound from pus-ing up again… it is litterally a hole in his neck
and here is the boil just recently
oh man sooo gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pride.much?
Ok so I often walk around emoing to myself about how shocking my personal time with God can be at times. I beat myself up for realising that I only did QT once this week or that the quality of my QT wasn’t there because my mind was somewhere else.
And often I think this to myself
Oh man oh man thank you God for Your grace. For allowing me to grow this much despite how much time I spend with you.
After some more conversing with myself the next thought is usually this
Oh man Justin… this is how much you’ve grown but imagine how much more you could have grown if you actually spent time with God regularly…!
I usually justify this thought with… YEA! IMAGINE IF! and then try to use this thought to motivate me to pick up the slack on my QT. But tonight while I was on the same thought train when suddenly God interrupted me and said
proud much? No wonder you can’t get anywhere in your QT… your only motivation is to better yourself and your position not me and our relationship.
… *Ka-THUD* (that’s the sound of my face hitting the floor). i hid my face in shame, figuratively, as i realised that i had been getting it COMPLETELY wrong the whole time.

in the history books…
The first Ablaze HS Service has offically gone down in Ablaze Ministries International history. Never again will we be able to say “this is our very first HS Service” which is actually kind of a depressing thought…
But we did it… and we conquered it… it may not have been perfect and ran the most smoothly but we did it.
I have to admit that i was ultra-relieved to get home that night. I have never been stretched so much in my life by God. My patience, hunger, vision, skills, abilities, hope, attitude, character, love, discernment, decision-making, leadership were all challenged and stretched at one point in the past week.
i for the first time admitted to myself that I was stressed even more stressed then our first Ablaze Service.
But everything was well worth it. God showed me my strengths and my weaknesses and although many times i wanted to just drop what i was doing and run away from it all i know that God you are worth it.
Our first every Ablaze HS Service was awesome… i was really blessed to see young people rising up for the first time in leadership, blessed to see young people inviting their friends, blessed to see young people taking ownership and value of the church and blessed to see young people respond to the Word of God.
but i don’t believe we are ready to launch a weekly HS Service just yet. But
We tasted, and we saw. And the Lord is Good. and now the vision burns brighter than ever. till the day that we do launch out… let’s continue to serve with everything we have because we have just proved to the world and to ourselves that it can be done.

moved
For some reason today i was really moved by a poster that read:
Obesity isn’t a problem everywhere.
This spoke to me at such a deep level.
We know there is a huge injustice in the world when the epidemic caused by an abundance of food in one country is compared to the epidemic caused by the sarcity of food in another.
Lord … i really have nothing to say *sigh*
