The Whole Armor of God 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[c] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being wat...

The beginning of the year is always an exciting time. The newness of it all...it even smells fresh and new. Today was my first day of Physical Therapy and I'm so super excited about walking again! This morning as i was leaving, my mom noticed it too, she said "you're walking nice now." Nice!!! Thank You, Lord!

Hello 2012.... Looking back at 2011 wasn't all that exciting until the tail end of the year. It really seemed like the longest year ever and yesterday,as I celebrated the new year, it seemed like an ordinary day. The beginning of the year I was severely depressed, even suicidal; I don't know why I felt like that. Only God knows why he allowed that dark time to happen. I lost my job in April and I've been completely depended on His provisions, grace and mercy. In August, I was accepted to New Hope Christian College in hopes to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of my Heavenly Father. This first semester has stretched me and I've had the pleasure of going thru a deeper level with Him. I've never done as well in school as I have at NHCC. For the first time in my academic career, I received 3 A's and one B. I was shooting for the straight A's but I failed to do the best I could in my Character Formation class. I hope this sets the bar as fa...

On October 17, 2011; I ruptured my achilles when I was skateboarding down Ala Moana Park.  It's been two months and I'm having the time of my life.  Although the first two weeks sucked, I realized and got to experience so much and I'm so very grateful for each moment.  The story of how it happened is pretty funny, actually.  So I was super excited when I met this guy on the bus {it was super late, I was hanging out in town with a friend of mine} who had a skateboard.  If you know me, I'll talk to anyone and this night my new friend was talking to me about skateboarding.  He told me he was actually selling a board but he won't be selling in until two weeks-or I didn't have money until two weeks?  I forgot...but anyway; he ended selling me a Sector 9 longboard and I was super stoked about it.  That was Saturday.  Sunday I got to cruz around some more with "Captian J" but I had to study for my Critical Thinking final the next day. ...

11.9.11  Ecclesiastes 7:14 "Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God.  Remember that nothing is cerain in this life." On October 17th, while i was cruzing around Ala Moana Beach park with my Captain J, {my sector 9 skateboard}, my achilles ruptured.  It was a full tear, I heard the pop and in pictures you can see where it was severed.  After I got over myself and realized that there is more to life then being depressed and bumed out, God spoke to me and made me realize that it's not about me.  I've had such a bad attitude and so selfish that I just need to get over it.  Today, I am establishing myself as CEO, Creative Executive Officer of {my life} Permanent Vacations.  I want to work hard to financially sustain my lifestyle--if you've ever seen my FaceBook quote, "Your job doesn't define who you are, money is just a necessary evil to maintain a chosen lifestyle; altho more of it makes life a l...

Introduction & Overview A. W. Tozer wrote a book titled "The Pursuit of God", which is 75 pages short but one I could not grasp a hold of. The idea of pursuing God has been my lifetime goal; the act of following after a God that is so magnificent, so wonderful, so full of unfailing love, captivates me to the point of wanting to fully grasp and understand this book. Just reading the table of contents sounds so fascinating that each chapter is a hopeful revelation of God's path to Him. I believe that the reason why I have not fully grasped this book is that I may not be allowing the words to penetrate my personal perception of how to pursue God in a personal way. The thought-provoking chapter titles such as "the universal presence", "the speaking voice" and "the gaze of the soul", reverts my imagination into new revelations of new avenues towards my personal pursuit of Christ. The pursuit of God is somewhat incongruous when the idea th...

“LOVE” Love is the overflow of affection of one’s heart towards God and other people. One cannot love God and love others without God's love because God is Love. God’s love is indescribable, unfathomable, and all the while unconditional as we mere humans can only grasp a portion of what Pure Love truly is. This cascading affection from God that spills out of my heart is acted on, motivates, and pursued upon to enable me to effectually hear His voice. The rippling effect causes me to be aligned to what He asks me to do, whether it is to be a witness of God’s goodness or help an old lady with her heavy bags onto the bus. His unfailing love for me is too much for me to bear as I am completely unworthy of the  selfless passion Jesus sustained on the wooden cross, but it is humbly accepted by me, one saved by grace and mercy. It is because of how He Loves me, I know that He will provide a husband and partner to be an example of the sacrificial love of God and his bride, the C...
