Make some noise with silence!

Hey everyone!!!
  Okay....so I really want everyone to join me on Oct 18th. Heres how it works, get some red tape write the word 'LIFE' on it. Then when your done take that piece of tape and wear it over your mouth for the whole day of Oct 18th. Not speaking for a day is a small thing to give up with a big impact. Take pictures and show the world that you are not afraid to show how you feel.

Why should you do this? Check it out in this link....

Now go be brave!!!


I love the reminder this song gives me. =D


We are a moment, You are forever
Lord of the Ages, God before time
We are a vapor, You are eternal
Love everlasting, reigning on high

Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Highest praises, honor and glory
Be unto Your name, be unto Your name

We are the broken, You are the healer
Jesus, Redeemer, Mighty to save
You are the love song we'll sing forever
Bowing before You, blessing Your name

Yet another this....and another that.

   Have you ever had moment in your life where you suddenly realize that you have too many things to do? I do constantly! In fact these past few weeks have really made me realize that. I have been to a wedding and two debate tournaments within the past sixteen days....I am really burnt out. In fact I am sitting here at 7 in the morning writing this before I leave to finish off the last day of a tournament.

   But the one thing I have realized through all of this is that I learn to appreciate people more when I have less time with them.

   So that's my quick note for the day. =D

Buzzing...

   It is truly amazing how you can get to know about people and who they are when you look at their buzz or facebook posts. I can only imagine what people think of me when they read my posts. And over the past years I have changed so much to the point that I think many people are surprised at what they see. 


   This post is for people who don't see me all the time, and who don't get to ask me questions about what I do.  This isn't a post to justify what I do. I am not always right, in fact I am mostly wrong.  I know that many people look at me and say that I am "going to the deep end". If we are taking about a pool of God's grace, then I am going to go as deep as I can. 


   The things I write can be summed up in this quote: "Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal. Highway or side streets. Kiss her or keep her. We make choices and we live with the consequences. If someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness. It's the best anyone can do". -Ned
  
  I don't always make the right choice, but I live with my choices. Life isn't about being perfect in every way. It is about doing all that you do to the glory of God. You will never succeed if you try to be always perfect. But you can unconditionally love all those you come in contact with, like Christ does for us. You can cherish the things that you have, knowing that they are all gifts of God. And you can try and live without regrets. But most of all you should live your life by the bible. This is what I try to do. 


   Maybe I shouldn't post everything I do post. But there are many things on Buzz I don't regret posting, because sometimes people just need to hear it.

Verse of the day.

For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.
And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.
Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

~2 Corinthians 12:6-10
