CHRISTmas(:
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love All because of love
I finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him
And all that I do every word that I say
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
Jesus's birth day (the day we celebrate His coming to earth in human form) is celebrated all over the world and his fame has not diminished in 2,000 years. But sometimes the way in which his birthday is "celebrated" is anything but what it should be. Much of the time it is with disrespect. His name is used to sell merchandise. This is the only time of the year when the stores play Christian music and we hear the name of the Lord in the public square. At other times there would probably be lawsuits over mentioning Christ in these places.
The name of Jesus has been so maligned these past 2,000 years yet, according to the Bible, His name is above all names. Among other things, He is:
The Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Wonderful Counselor,
The Holy One, The Lamb of God, the Prince of Life, The Word of Life,
Author and Finisher of Our Faith, our Advocate.
He is The Way, the only Begotten Son of God, the Messiah, The Truth,
Savior, Lord of All, The Righteous Judge, The Light of the World,
The Resurrection and Life, our Horn of Salvation.
He is The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The End.
So Jesus is God's love gift to us. He says, "...the greatest
demonstration of God's love for us has been His sending His only Son
into the world to give us life through Him. We see real love, not in
the fact that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to
make personal atonement for our sins"
Simply put, without Jesus we perish eternally. But by faith in Him,
We are forgiven our sins and united with God both now and forever.
Let' s celebrate Jesus for who He really is.
Blessed Christmas everybody, and Happy birthday to you Jesus(:

Nehemiah!
You've called me to places I can't see
Lord open my eyes
You've called me to people i can't reach
Lord stir within me
A hunger to see your kingdom come
A passion for your will to be done
Give me a heart for this generation
Set me apart for your great commission
And I will go
Wherever you lead I will follow
And I have counted the cost
I will carry the cross
So take my hands
All that i have they are yours
And you have laid out my course
I will live for this cause
Heaven and earth will pass away
But Jesus you are eternal
Kings and their kingdoms will fall one day
But your glory's forever
All of creation will bow to you
The time will come for all to sing
God you reign
No turning back
No turning back
And I will follow you
No turning back
No turning back
And I will carry the cross
No turning back
No urning back
No turning back
And I will live for this cause
No turning back
No turning back
No turning back
I am a little late to post about camp. LOL.
So group NEHEMIAH!
Elaine my best best AGL! You rock man.. There is no difference in being a AGL and GL cause we are all God's leader(:
This is my first time being a leader of the group and i have NEVER been an assistant leader before. So innitially I was afraid and was thinking how to lead a group and stuff.
Then God reminded me about Joshua. Be stong and Courageous..
Making name tags and flags was a killer man! But then it was a joy at the same time..
I so love my group!(:
Knowing my group was great.. Making new friends and forming even closer friendship with good friends. Yes though there were times when there was hic-ups and all but we were still very united and worked really well together(:
I was asking God for a new vision and purspose for 2008 and God was speaking to me personally and through Bro Terence. SL and even my camp group adult leader.
Nehemiah that was what God reminded me of. He was a man who obeyed God.
God was just telling me how to break free of the sins and to live a victorious life..
"Everyday is like a battlefield, in school, at home, your community. Be a Nehemiah, Build my kingdom, but guard yourself. The enemy will attack anytime but when everytime the enemy attacks hit him hard and still focus on building my kingdom."
Just like how Nehemiah and his man build God's house when the enemies were attacking them.
"Yoke with my spirit, lay down all the responsiblities you have been carry cause i will sustain you. Dont worry about perfecting everything because I will guide you." That was what Bro Terence prayed for me and I was thinking through that this year I have been doing things on my own. Everything is I, Me and Myself. I felt that I have failed as an SP and it was really a difficut year. But then God has been faithful and now I can say that those lies and past memories have been washed away and everytime he reminds me of my past, I remind you of your future!
God was just moving so powerfully during camp and this camp is really different. Not all so emo but really the joy of the Lord just brough tears and the greater plans he have for me is just amazing. Can't wait for an exciting year ahead!(:
-Treasue your calling son.
