commissionedbytheking asked: You don't allow replies on that post, but it is an AMAZING book. Complete eye opener.

Sorry! I posted the question through my phone. Since you say amazing, perhaps i should look in to it and maybe buy it one day! Thanks :-)

It’s by David Platt. I saw it in Barnes & Noble yesterday. Has anyone read this book? Is it good?

I got my hair cut :) and i like it. I’ll post a pic soon. Hopefully it wont be a week from now.

In other random stuff…
I took time to read two sections of John 6 yesterday in two different translations. In either the NIV or ESV and then in the NIrV.

Some things seem a lil more different. Should definitely read it in another translation (AMP or KJV?).

I like to learn.
I wouldnt mind being a theology “nerd” not that I have an interest for college either.

But good theology doesn’t save you.
Jesus does.
I have some things thay should be changed in my life and i know i’m unwillingly sinful.

Lord, Jesus, have your way.
Save me from myself.

I wanna be what the world would consider a “total nutcase” over You!

Please! If you do, let me know how it has helped you! Either in a reply or a message if you prefer to keep it anonymous or between me and you. Maybe I’d start one but, I would like some type of ideas how it helped others.

Anonymous asked: I'm sorry that it bothers you that on a social network that no one has to pay for and teenagers over 13 and adults alike have the freedom to post what ever they want. No one is going to stop posting what they want so you can feel better. So get over it.

Um, excuse me, Anon? I’m not sure what you’re even talking about. Care to clarify?

I was slightly torn between letting my hair grow out really long or cutting it super short. I decided and it is that I’m going to get my hair cut once again but even shorter then the last time. I don’t know when but when I do, my Icon and facebook picture will most likely change. My hair is longer then what you see in the icon but summer is going to creep in soon and I’m going to head out to Puerto Rico in July, praise God… I can only hope I’ll love it! Which, I just might. :)

Once again typing this because I accidentally exited the browser erasing all I wrote (no more then two paragraphs gone, I think*).

Anyway…

So, I had scheduled some time last week (if I’m not mistaken) to meet with the youth pastor of the church I go to ask some questions that I’ve been curious about. Eventually he lent me a DVD set called “Elephant Room”. I’m not going to get in to great detail about it but that’s something I’ll hopefully soon watch, if procrastination doesn’t occur. This is not what I wanted to write about though but something else I wanted to share.

So, when I left the church, I walked to the bus stop, got on the bus, took a seat, yada, yada. Now, I’m not really sure if God spoke to me or if this occurred just in my train of thought but I wanna just share something about the heart. I mean this may seem pretty basic and what not… but I never know who may not really see it this way like I’m about to share it.

Many times, there’s no doubt that so many people have heard such a cliché of an answer when someone tells you to “Follow your heart”, or something along the lines of that.

Following your heart is such a terrible thing to do, because when you look at  Jeremiah 17:9 in many translations you can basically see for yourself, that the heart really is not trustworthy. Some examples below, 3 different translations.
