  • One Hope

    Right now, all that keeps running through my mind is...what I so desperately want, and the fact that it's impossible for me to obtain. Now, even a million dollars is possible to obtain, but this one thing I want is utterly impossible for me, myself, little ol' Jacob, to obtain. And you know something? I have found that there is only one hope, and that's in the name of the Lord. The only thing that keeps me hoping and hasn't made me give up is this one little verse in the Word of God in Matthew 19:26, But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
    Okay just one little thing I want to point out here. It said in the Bible that Jesus Christ our Lord, "beheld" them. That's what it said. Jesus beheld them. He saw them, He knew what thoughts they had, and He knew they thought they had no chance of ever being saved. Well, my only hope is that Jesus Christ can do the same for me and all I want is for Him to behold me, see me, and know what is going through my mind and my life. Because I know that with God, all things are possible. I just need to get his attention, and what better way than to fast and pray until I get my answer? I'm not giving up just yet. Not until I get my answer. And I hope that by pointing out this verse to you, that you, yourself might feel the same when you face an impossible situation.

  •   Is there not another way? Is there not anything else I can do? I have tried, I have believed, I have sacrificed in the good faith that I would see this through. Time and time again I ask God the question that we have all asked sometime or another in our lifetime...why God? Why if You are in control of everything, did you let that little child die? Why did You let that marriage break apart? Why did You not stop the murderer from killing an innocent victim? Why did You let this happen to me? Haha well don't those words sound familiar? If not, they will someday, trust me. I'm asking myself that question right now. But you know, I already have my answer. God has given me His answer. But the problem is, I have to believe it. Now I can say all day how I believe God's Word is true and there is none beside it, but actions speak louder than words. My crossroads has come, the crossroads I have dreaded would someday come, and now I have to make my choice on whether God has to be first in my life or not. Let me tell you something Reader, I have never felt such emotional pain, such emptiness, such hurt ever before in my life. Somehow God has a way of bringing something down upon us saying it's time to make a decision.

      I asked God not too long ago, to help me renew myself in Him. Well He replied didn't He?!?! Haha not the way I was expecting, but He sure replied. Now am I to sit here and tell God "sorry that's not what I was looking for, try something else"...I don't deserve His renewal or salvation in the first place! Who am I to turn down His offer. This all is just to show me and God just how important He is in my life. If any of you know what the word prayer means, please I'm begging you to at least just mention my name to God when you have the chance. I've never needed God before the way I do now. We all have our own choices in our life on whether to choose God or not, some of us make the right choice, most of us don't. And many more of us believe that we can get by without making a choice at all.

  • My Worst Enemy

    This is a short story by Ted Dekker I found on his facebook page or you can otherwise look at his author website at www.teddekker.com
    I absolutely loved this little story I had to post it on here for you all to see. Comment and let me know what you think or better yet email Ted and tell him he rocks!

    The Boar

    I always wondered why babies cry when I walk by, and now I know. I am a beast.

    You ask me how I know. You see, I was walking through a beautiful forest on a Sunday afternoon stroll when a horrible snort sounded in the bushes to my right. I whirled and came face to face with an enormous hairy boar with two red eyes and long bloodied tusks.

    I couldn’t move. But when the boar charged I managed to uproot my feet and run. Through the brush, over rocks, leaping ditches—I don’t remember because panic had shut down my mind.

    Blind with that terror, I ran straight into a small canyon and pulled up hard at the base of a cliff. I could hear the beast’s snorting behind and I knew that my back would be pierced by those tusks. When I spun to face it, the boar slid to a glaring stop, a ferocious sight that turned me to ice.

    It grunted once and charged, and I lost my mind to fear. I screamed bloody murder and threw myself directly for it, perhaps with a desperate hope it would turn and flee.

    It did not flee. It took me head on.

    But instead of smashing into those bloodied tusks, I crashed into mirrored glass that shattered and fell to the ground. I stood panting. The boar was gone. The only blood was on my forearms, where the mirror had cut me.

    So you see, that is how I know that I am a beast.


    My response, as with many of you, is D. Myself.

  • Hey Ya'll

    Well it's been too long since I've posted anything (it's not like anyone ever reads this junk anyway). I have found myself in a life that is not what I had ever planned on having. At least not now or like this. Happy yes, but not sure of what to expect next is driving me crazy. Although I'm confident things will turn out for the good, I just have to work for them. Although, not everything that I want is completely in my hands for the taking or making. But I'll have to continue to work for it all. I should be working harder. Speaking of work, it's about time I found something to do with my life. I have a few choice options, nothing definite yet. No knowing exactly what I should do is another thing driving me crazy. I'd like to hear some thoughts on what would be a good career choice. After graduating this year, college is my next challenge, lets hope it's a good one. Let's hope I'm ready for it!!! Another thing driving me crazy. I'm going insane here, can't you tell!?!

  • What do you do when (you think) no one is looking?

    Haha well if I must answer, I make faces in the mirror...sing to myself real loud...jump up and down like a dork (depending on how much energy I have at the moment)...I sit and write stupid stuff like what you are reading right now...run across the tile with my socks on to see just how far I can slide...I get back up from falling from the slide...I small talk, converse, even argue with myself...maybe practice some of what I do best, slightly antagonizing people...and probably some other goofy stuff that would bore you to read.
     
     I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!
