blog #4???

today was a good day... it was the second week we went to church and i am starting to learn to love learning gods word. About a month or so ago i really learned what it was to be a christian. i fell in love with the idea that i could be saved from all the pain and misery that has caused me and my family pain in the past and pain that would come in the future. it was about a week after my cousins left for texas when i really gave my life to jesus and told him that everything that i am and everything i have is his and that i would only live through him and not through the world that had before been controlling me. I asked the lord to take everything that was me and make it his. since then i started to realize the kind of life i had been leading before this historical change to christianity. the music i was listening to was filled with the idea of hatred, money, and murder. the movies i watched were filled with the degradation of women and the glorification of lust. It was then when i realized how much the devil was in control of my life and how i knew that it wasnt his to control. I have since started to learn the will and word of God and now know that change must coninue... In church today a guest speaker who was a missionary in cuba spoke about how god has a plan and an end for our lives. that if we follow his plan the end would be a glorious end. he gave and example about a man in the bible who was sent to a hole in the ground and was then sent into a country and sold into slavery. he then got out of slavery and was blessed beyond all measure. later he was accused of a thing that he didnt do and was sent to prison, after prison he was released and then used what he had learned from his previous experiences and was again blessed. the moral of the story (and excuse me for the slaughtering of this story) is that tho we have trials and tribulations god has a plan for our lives and an end to our suffering and if we follow his plan our end point will be one of unmeasurable blessings. May the lord continue to bless us and may we give praise unto him alone.
