Matthew 21 : 28 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’
29 “‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
30 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.
31 “Which of the two did what his father wanted?”
“The first,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
Rather say you will not and then go and do it from your heart, than feel forced to say yes and never do it.( just don't say NO when you know you will be doing it and then do it for the praise you will receive)

Suffering for Gods character
Romans 5 : 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Peace in my heart is move valuable than pleasing people. Suffering will come to those that follow there hearts as some hearts go against the ways of the world, just be prepared for it and persevere through it with God for the God character is worth it.

God 'Given' Rights....
The right to be happy, the right to love and be loved in return, the right to be blessed to be a blessing.
Just a few i think about so easily how a bout these...
The right to eat, the right to sleep, the right to breathe.
Is it possible for me to GIVE God my rights... And how? How do i keep giving him my rights. i know i can trust Him, i just feel like the world is against me, taking me away from God at every turn.
Can my rights no longer be Mine?.. GOD 'Given' rights
LORD please show me your glory and miraculous works every moment of every day, reminding me that every thing i have is not mine. remind me that i breathe because you love me, because of your unfailing love you have given me the choice, i choose LIFE

Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.Is it possible for me to GIVE God my rights... And how? How do i keep giving him my rights. i know i can trust Him, i just feel like the world is against me, taking me away from God at every turn.
Can my rights no longer be Mine?.. GOD 'Given' rights
john 15:18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
LORD please show me your glory and miraculous works every moment of every day, reminding me that every thing i have is not mine. remind me that i breathe because you love me, because of your unfailing love you have given me the choice, i choose LIFE
Deuteronomy 30:18 I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Building Foundation...
Ezra 3:11 With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the LORD:
“He is good;
his love toward Israel endures forever.”
And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
“He is good;
his love toward Israel endures forever.”
And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
(NIV)
If we are the church of Christ and he dwells with in us, would people "give a great shout" at the foundation upon witch your life is built?

Something to start with
WHO?...
(ever find it hard to write about yourself...?)
Me? I ? Jordan?
WHY?....
I thought I would like to share my journey with you, with anyone- everyone even ^__^
WHERE?...
Well, here of course! Sunny South Africa being from whence I doth hail...
WHAT?....
Everything will be revealed with time, but to snub the mystery idea, I have a few plans up my sleeve... just practicing some patience as to when they will unfold.
