Journies of a Jesus Freak: I hate my brother's camera

Quotes

Will I put aside ME - the things that I want, MY dreams, MY comfort - and pursue HIM?Am I willing to give up being popular on earth to be a valuable part of heaven?What am I going to do to change even the smallest corner of this world?Is my focus on me, or am I focused on God? Is He my first priority?Do I live in such a way that I am sharing God's love and making a difference everywhere I go?IF I DIED TONIGHT, WOULD MY LIFE HAVE COUNTED?

The Task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you.

-Anonymus

God keeps showing up as the answer, not the question.

-A Jesus Freak

Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.

-The Fellowship of the Ring

We live in what might be the most anti-intellectual period in the history of western civilization... We must have passion - indeed hearts on fire for the things of God. But that passion must resist with intensity the anti-intellectual spirit of this world.

- R. C. Sproul

“Faith is a day by day, moment by moment, sometimes breath by breath decision to look beyond the current reality and to cling to something greater.”

-Rachel Martin

Encouraging Verses

Romans 14:8 "If we live, we live for the Lord. If we die, we die for the Lord. But whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Pslams 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For you are with me."
Romans 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the paterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life."
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

I hate my brother's camera

It is the most annoying thing. I come downstairs in the morning, there he is, laughing his evil laugh and taking a picture of me. I come into my room, there he is. I go OUTSIDE to play basketball, there he is. AHHHH! He could take pictures all day. He just took a picture of me writing this post. Hopefully, this will settle after he gets over the thrill of having his new camera. Until then, pray for me.

♥Bleah♥Briann♥ said...: Wow, hahaha...sorry thats really funny. But I feel for you, really I do. Who's smart idea was it to give him that camera anyway? I'd consider going after the giver before I go after your brother. But I'd go after 'em but. I'll pray for you...deffinetly, but just be happy he's not blogging them. LOL, thats hilarious. *ROFL*
With Love and Blessings, and thank you for making me laugh *wink*

Rachel Danielle said...: Oh my goodness- I LOATHE my brother's camera. And it's a video camera. So he'll tape me all day long- and of course he'll do his best to get me at all sorts of aggrivating times. My parents finally decided that he would no longer be allowed to take pictures of me, unless I gave him my express permission. I feel your pain, and thus, pray for you...; April 16, 2010 5:04 PM
Alex said...: Ouch, a video camera, now that would be even worse, at least his is just pictures...; April 16, 2010 5:05 PM
Nathan R. Petrie said...: That's hilarious :D Dude, awesome looking blog! Love the name, love the header!

By the way, I saw on your blogger profile that you're a fan of Wayne Batson's The Door Within Trilogy! Me too! One of his writing friends, Bryan Davis, wrote a really good book called Starlighter that I think you'd enjoy. I'm giving it away for free on my blog! If you're interested, stop in and enter!

Thanks!

That is hilarious... *snap snap* *laughter* and of course he catches you right when you are rather disheveled, messy, etc.! LOL
