well, report cards again. lol. ehhh, i did better this time around. way, way better than i even expected actually. well, lets just say i didn't get any satisfaction out of it. usually theres a hell load of hype, brag-fest, comparsions and crap like that, i dunno, but it seemed pretty transparent this term. im pleased by that. well, after school, me and a friend of mine went to pizza pizza at woodside square. picked up an XL french vanilla (LOL did i tell you i lost the roll up event 8 times in a row?) at tim hortons and got a 10 inch pizza. coincidentally a bunch of people from my school were at pizza pizza. damn were they loud, we overheard them spamming that they had 'promotion at risk'. i was grateful that God always provided for me. i guess that was something i overlooked most of the time. odd that i pray for that almost 90% of the time but i never seem to notice when he does guide me in real life. gotta keep my eye keen for that.
next step : learn what paul learned while in prison - learn to be content whatever the circumtances. to know what is to be in need, know what it is to have plenty, and how to be content in any and every situation whether living in plenty or in want.
philippians 4 : 11 - 12
guess i'll finish this blog off with a verse which is somewhat relevant?
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.

the Natural
so i guess i wanted to blog about this but never actually did. soooooo a month ago i was randomly flipping around in my bible to find a particular psalm (lack of biblegateway) and i came across this verse (or at part of it).
I desire to do your will, O my God - Psalm 40:8
in this verse i learned that you have to love God to truly serve him. even if you do his will without loving him you're just wasting your own time. i guessing thats difference between the crowd and christians. if the crowd goes to africa for a mission, i'd like to say that they are working in the shadow of God's will. what i mean by that is that they are doing a good thing which is 'worldly' if you will, which doesn't make it serving in God's eyes because that 'serving' is for the benefits of the world?
this verse also 'tells' me that serving God is natural. if you love God, you eventually serve. that's simply an inevitable process. here's a very crappy example :
in tennis muscling the ball (hitting the ball with only the arm) will not get you very far into the game. although you seem to be hitting hard because you're muscling, it isn't the full potencial of the shot.
so i've learned not to muscle the serving process, i'll be called, when i'm called.
pretty bad comeback blog, tons of mistakes, but aww wells
maybe i shoulda made an analogy about bleach/naruto so it'd be more comprehendable for jon and enoch >< we'll see
G'nites folks and have a good one
