The strength that isn't our own

We all have our bad days. Our hard times that we try to avoid. We distract ourselves in this world were distractions are everywhere. We turn away instead of seeking the chance to be a light in someones hard day. We say to ourselves, that isn't that important. If it is meant to be it will come to be. My strength isn't enough.

To many times we don't bother to care for the world around us. Or more often even the end of our street. We know ourselves as we know our failures and they echo through our minds if we let them. How can I show God to others when my strength isn't enough.

But there is a love that goes beyond our own strength. When in God's Love story of here on Earth, God sent his son. God to live as a man among men. And as a man he he lived without fault or failure. Took our sin, on the cross to be the way our ransom, our Savior.

Jesus died for us, and it did not end with his death for three days later, early on that first easter morning, the Tomb was empty. Jesus came back to life as he said he would. It didn't end with his death. He stayed for a short time with his disciples then went to heaven promising help would soon be with them. The Third Member of the Trinity the Holy Spirt.

The Holy Spirt still works through us to this day. Giving us nudges, speaking to us and performing unbelievable acts of God. The Holy Spirt lives in whoever lives for Christ Jesus. We can become hard and not hear the soft whispers or tugging at our hearts. The Holy Spirt acts very differently in us all. But in our weakness, the Holy Spirt can be our help and make us strong.

Personally there are so many things I struggle with in life. But I know if God has told me to do something, anything. That God will give me the strength to complete the task according to his will. It may be the smallest of things but God gives the bigger task to the ones who can complete the small ones. I miss my chances often enough and have often let my heart become hard. But I try to still myself more and let the spirt soften my heart once again. It is so clear to me when the Holy Spirt lives active within.

I'm about to begin another big chapter in my life as my 19th Birthday closes in. I know my weaknesses. But I can rejoice at the things God has done in my life and where I would be without him. And if that thought doesn't make me wanna rejoice I don't know if anything will.

God is stronger than anything. If God uses us and you realize the strength that isn't my own. That is just a powerful feeling and every time that happens, I trust God all the more and rejoice that God is using my imperfect self for something bigger than me. The strength God gives that isn't my own.

Clouds

So again in sleepless night,

The stars show no bright.

The white snow covering,

Clouds remain blocking.

I look as they aren't here,

My soul takes all it can bare.

Then with my child's heart,

I look deep into God's art.

I see not a starless sky,

but a test of faith coming by.

Then as I have for many years,

I turn heavenward even with my ears.

A comfort comes up from within,

Then I look up once again.

And I feel the God I love so near,

Although there is still clouds here.

Faith, Hope & Love

Do your best and forget the rest!

Do your best and forget the rest.

That is a line that I've heard a lot lately. But what if you really gave it all?

Wouldn't that just be such a great feeling to know that you gave all you could?

Why Wonder?

Just saying.

-A quick note from The Beast

Just Randomness in a sleepless night

I always have difficulty logging into my Blog! Lol.

-S. Ed ;)

Here is a quick note anyway.

In hard times or not or when the stars shine or there is cloud overcast. The stars are still out there. I think it is a lot like God, He is always there. You just gotta look for him sometimes. But when you find him in like the clear of the night his Glory is shown.

-Yours always the Beast

God has been so Good to me. Giving me so many blessings that I can't count. He tests me in my weaknesses, and teaches me to trust in his strength. I gotta long ways to go. But my toes and feet are pointed the right way.

I have a hard time sleeping some nights and I guess this is just one of these nights.

In life I try to remember it is the little things that effect us a lot. We all have influence in others. I hope I can just brighten someones day. I'd call that a win in my books any day. :)

\Life is just great and going great, I miss sleep right now and that is also kinda important. So I'll finish with these three notes. Protect your heart, Help your Friends protect theirs and love others the way Christ loves us.

Howdie. :)

Life is just rolling on. I'm praying as I work out the big choices in my life. I hope God closes the door that need to be closed and any that I feel are open I'm going through!

I've changed some what. I'm not who I once was and I'm not sure every way was in the best way for me. But I've learned life gives you scares and they make you who you are. Either the little scars on your hands from barb wire or the scares you can't see.

We also gotta know that we are, where we are and God can use us anywhere. Be open to that and my encouragement for the Week is-

In my Weakness, God can use me just to show how Strong he is. Believe and Trust.

-Yours always the Beast

Just about me

I'm the guy who'll get r done and get dirty to do it.

I dance though I shouldn't because of how bad I dance. lol.

I sing although I know I'm not the best.

I am who I am and that isn't going to change. although I may try to improve my faults.

I think I'm a good guy and just trying to make his way through this crazy life and I'm gonna have fun 2! :D

God is first in my life, others are second and I am third.

Puzzle

I tried to log in last month and I forgot my password. :/

But I thought I would give it another try tonight. And I got in after maybe 30 different tries and two Email addresses. lol.

Everything is well with me. Good Health and working on making choices for my life. Parts of me feel spritually dead and I don't like it. I know there is a God who loves me and he has my life and trust. He helps me pick myself up when I fall. I aways felt like a puzzle peice that never fit right in most places. Often thinking I found my place and turns out not. I am exactly who I am for a very real reason. I am who I am and that will never be changed to fix into some puzzle. That doesn't mean I stay alone on the work table and let the other puzzles come to me. I try to explore all the boxes I can find to maybe find the right place. And maybe while I'm doing that I can bring some light to brighten someones day.

God gave me a soft heart to love and serve others, nothing is more rewarding to me than doing that.

Now that I gave you an interesting picture of me as a puzzle piece. lol. Could you give me a quick prayer as I do? That God would give me stronger willingness to reach out, love and serve others?

Typing this "rambling of my fingers" helped brighten my day. I hope it helped yours too if you took time to read this.

-Always yours, and seeking, The Beast
