Success

Success (in the Spiritual realm) is When we have satisfaction as we throw our crowns and what we did for Christ back at Jesus' feet!! That is true SUCCESS!!!!!

Personal Feelings Revised

What we are about to say/type and give to you this paper we are not sure but think other people feel the same way about what we are about to discuss.
Janessa and I feel like we can't "have our own opinion" like if we say something teachers don't consider it like" the teachers are always right" and we are not saying much because it doesn't go far. If you don’t like are opinions or don’t use them please tell us why and if they wouldn’t work for your situations. I and this is CJ typing I don’t know if Janessa feels the same way about it. counseling that its almost an intrusion so to speak I believe that stuff that happens at home or outside the school is our business and I’m not saying that you cant pray for it. We know that you care for us but you cant do “it” for us. We never learn unless we fall and You have to let us do that. We know that you want to prepare us for the real world. There are a lot of things that we know that is right and wrong scripturally. There are a lot of things that we don’t and we need to study them out and get our own opinion ourselves. For an example we are taught that we share the gospel we plant the seed and let God do the rest. When you guys share something let God do the rest you can’t accept it for us we have to.
This is now addressing what I (CJ) wrote. I’m basically going to re write what I wrote. I am sorry for singling out one or two teachers when I wrote what I did. When I share something I just want prayer and I don’t know if Janessa wants that to. And when I do share something I don’t want like “ we can talk when you want”. I know this is another way to reach out to the kids and you want to help or whatever. You are our teachers not our “buddy buddy” friends. I know you can challenge us once and a while but there has to be a balance. What I mean by that is teaching us facts, and having us apply things to our life. We and I know you teachers don’t like being preached at and telling us to do and what to do and we don’t either.
I also believe that we need to talk more about sex, drugs and drinking because that is more prevalent and those are the pressures being put on us.
In all this we type we want to focus on and ,this is most important, on our relationship with Christ. And also becoming closer and also strengthening our brother and sister in Christ relationships. We hope that we have typed this and said all that we have said in a humble way and not in a cocky or arrogant way
Now the lessons i have learned from this: Communication is ok with teachers!! and that its not good to bottle things up or else yeah. So yeah lessons learned in conflict are awesome!!

alone time

hey everybody God is really workin right now so i just need some alone time mr.n not tryin to be like mean or anything but yeah i just need not to be bothered in the way of how r ur devos going or like the names i have for the msn things if you all could do that that would be great!!

Impact Rally

Well last night I went to this Impact Rally at Ames High. Flatfoot 56 was playing and I had and I'm sure everbody else had a blast. We "blew out" the first two rows of the auditorium. But anyway I want to tell everyone that I have "remade" my committment with Christ! I was on like a roller coaster type thing like Ok God forgive me for this and then do something else. It just wasnt worth living like that!! So yeah Just thought I would share that with you all!! CJ

Knowing is better than feeling

Did you know that knowing/know is mentioned in the Bible 775 times ( in KJV MRS.A) and feeling/feel is only mentioned 9 times. In these songs that are mentioned below in a past post (rebirthing and better than drugs) it talks about feelings and not knowing that God is your presence. They are writing about feelings and not knowing. When we know that God is on our presences it gives us greater foy than just feeling that he is there. And when we feel it its not as convicting because we think oh we can do what ever we want but when we realize that we know that he is there it convicts us more not to sin than just oh i feel him right now but in five minutes i wont. So yeah i got four Bible lessons today. CJ

AND FLORIDA WINS IT!!

Well Florida has won the national championship. I'm sure my Mom won't be a happy camper for a while but I am!! If you didnt read the Florida QB's Shirt it said: I can do all things through Christ. Great testimony. Well, i was thinking about stuff and you know this world is all about buying things really for other people. They try and buy other people love. And what really is important is showing God's love to others and doing other things for people not buying them love. So yeah just a thought. CJ

Prayer Request

I have a heavy burden on me right now guys. I have to write a affidavit for my sister's case. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears will be going into this. Well maybe not the blood but the others yeah. So yeah. I am just so thankful that God keeps reveiling things. So it helps or "Faith" confidence go up so to speak but yeah. So yeah if you all could just pray for me and this affidavit that would be great thanks.!! $$KEG OF JOY$$
