Just got in from the pumpkin smash. That was a blast. Good ol moshing and breakdancing in a panda suit.. haha anyways. i was looking through my notebook and i stumbled across something we should all apply our lives to.
just the basic "armor" of God.
shazbots..Well I cant find my bible.. lol but the verse the thing starts out with is Ephesians 6:10
there's the belt of truth , breast plate of righteousness, feet of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit

first you have to be wearing the "belt of truth" basically the belt holds the apparel together. So basically you must cling to truth.

The "breast plate of righteousness". The breastplate protects your soul. If you lose righteousness, it can create gaps and the enemy ( the devil ) can hit you in that area of your life

the "feet of peace" peace gives us something firm to stand on to bring us assurance in trails that we go through

"shield of faith" I think most of us struggle in this area then the others. The shield gives up support of the attack and like the breastplate if you lose faith it creates gaps giving an easier target for the enemy to hit

"Helmet of salvation" is your assurance of salvation with this you are untouchable. No demon can touch you.

and last " the sword of the spirit" the only offensive weapon in your apparel basically its your knowledge of scipture that you can use to fight back at the enemy and defeat him

I dunno thats just a little analogy type thing...sorry if you didn't get it lol
anyways i better jet
God bless

I just got back from school and for once i actually had a good day. Today was our last school day for this week and we got to dress up and stuff so that was fun. i went as the dread pirate roberts from princess bride then jess dressed as buttercup ryan dressed up as agnito mgnoitntez...or whatever i forget his name then terri dressed as fezzik...all we needed was the guy that always went " inconseivable ". then second class we went fencing..heh heh..funny times. got back had a pizza lunch had drama for english and now im home chillaxin, so i hope everything goes good.
iv been doing some reminising from past youth devos and i stumbled upon a few good verses about god promises to us.

Psalms 34:18 ".. he rescues those who are crushed in spirit

Isaiah 65:24: I will answer your prayers before they are even called to me. While
they are still talking about my needs i go ahead and answer their prayers

Jhon 14:27 I am leaving you with a gift, peace of mind and heart, and the peace isnt the kind of peace the word gives so dont be troubled or afraid

Jhon 16:33 "...here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows but take heart because i have overcome the world

Romans 8:1-2 So now there is no condemtion for those who belong to Jesus Christ for the power of life-giving spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death

1 Cor 10:13 But remeber that the temptations you face are no diffrent from whats others experience and God is faithful he will keep the temptation from being strong so that you cant stand up against it when you are tempted he will show you a way out so that you will not give into it

sorry if the translations are funny.. i have an NLV. anyways im out...God bless

Yeah. sorry about the many posts...but whatever, i got moved back into my small group, good ol kim. anyhow she said something tonight that really hit me. She said your constantly communicating with God, in all you do, whether its good or bad. In other words the way you live is your prayer to God. So that made me think of a few things.. i dont really know how to put it into words..but it opend up my eyes to change a few things about myself.
God is alot bigger than we give him credit for.
anyways i should be off. iv got the munchies...mmm ...munchies..
God bless
I dont know why, but all of a sudden wave of ...sadness i might call it or depression just hit me. iv been having a bad couple of weeks.. seems as if alot of people have been having them.
one of my friends at youth kinda is in remotly the same boat as me. putting on a facade of being happy. when inside its really quite the opposite. in my case im a wreck. when i go to school i put on that mask until i get home. and i dont bother to do anything about it. I just kinda shrug it off and say things will pass. but since im not doing anything about it. its not going away and getting stronger and stronger. because im hiding my feelings and bottling them up i guess.
anyhow...i should be off to youth again where i help out with a group of grade 7's. me and carrie are the leaders. i'v only been helping for 2 weeks..or 3 i dont know, now. and its getting super fustrating and i feel like im not learning anything. let alone helping. so tonight im asking my youth pastor if i can go back into the small group where i have a leader and stuff...so anyways i best be off to do that
God bless
Well I'm at school now, schools actually been pretty stressful lately. I wont get into that yet. So far today's been alright I guess. But I am looking forward to tonight's youth and
also on Friday I'm going to this thing at the soccer center called pumpkin smash. There's gone be a load of people there so it should be fun.
but anyhow I should be doing my school work....Dirty school
aurivour and God bless
