Psalms 8:3 "when i look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers-the moon and the stars you have set in place- what are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us? for you made us just below the angels, and you crowned us with glory and honor.
Again, i get this lonely feeling, (not like i dont have any friends, just that i am so small). i am so insignificant. really, it is condescending to the lord for him to love us, and to listen to our prayers, let alone answer them! he is so merciful. I am overjoyed with what the Lord has been doing lately, he has blessed me beyond measure, and i am finally humble enough to admit it. IT'S WORTH IT! give your life to the lord because you have NOTHING to lose, you'll only gain from it. people will be drawn to you because you radiate the love of God. we are to spend oursleves on the poor, we are to love the people that are hard to love, we are to give up ALL of our desires, and let the lords desires become our own. REAL christians are like christ, they care enough about people that they dont just leave them to their self. NO, we are supposed to get invloved in peoples lives....disciple people for the sake of Christ, as he discipled the church in his time. Oh man, i could say SO much more, but i have to go to bed. anyways, i hope that you will take this into consideration because i know many "good" people who, judging by today, they wont make it to heaven. These people believe that they are saved but have no clue that first off, its only by God's mercy, and second, that they need to be christ like to be in heaven, thats why its heaven. nobody that lies, cheats, steals, doesnt love the broken, murders (literally or with their words or thoughts), and who dont stay awake and keep their eyes on the goal are going to heaven, it wouldnt be heaven if they did. this is not to say that we are perfect, but we CANNOT abuse the grace of God....if we do, we have it coming because the Lord is certainly a God of not only love and grace, but also righteousness and justice. By the way, just because the lord doesnt respond immediatley (like in the old testament) by stiking you dead on the spot for sinning, doesnt mean that he doesnt notice or care about it. food for thought my friends....and, just so you know, this isnt meant to be pointed at you, i am just sharing what the lord is doing with my heart, and mostly pointing the finger back at myself. he is showing me what it means to be one of his disciples. because i reprsent the God of the universe, i want to be an example that he will be proud of, so that when i finnish the race, the words i will hear are "well done my good and faithful servant".
Love Love Love.

Oh my gosh Maddie! This was a very disappointing day and I actually need to be held accountable right now... and I'm so scared! I just wrote Mo. I don't know how she's going to feel about this. Oh gosh. What your family must think of me. I'm so scared!
ah, the philosopher speaks again.
'How lovely it is to hear truth, how lovely it is to hear wisdom. She is like the dawn after the darkness.'
Lovely, you speak with wisdom beyond your years. Perhaps someday I will be like you. Someday, maybe, I can have the assurance you do. For now, I can only learn from the philosophers and from my mistakes. We are truly blessed as children of God. Who are we that He loved us so? Yet He does, and even still loves us now. Continue in your ministries my lovely, it is a refocusing for me.
