*Instructions. dont move on to the next phase(/////////)

til you are done with the current one*

Now I want you to have an open mind.
Forget all the excuses. All the great reasons that we come up with.

And allow this thought, To sort of cross the battle lines you've put up for everything.

Think about your life.

Think about your actions.

Think about where you were. and where you are.

Think about the relationships you were in and are in.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Now..

Think about this...

Are you bored by the story?

Does you life seem like one big hurt?

That somehow every decision you make,

Ends up the same way?

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Now.

After your done with that

(now that might take five minutes to think or maybe even a month.)

Think about this...

What are you doing. To change that same hurt-cycle story?

Have you honestly tried to change it?

Or have you been thinking.. "its okay.. it'll work this time"

Do you really listen to what your heart tells you?

Your real heart..

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Lastly..

Tell me this.

When was the last time.

You asked Jesus' opinion?

2010-02-28T02:09:00.002+08:00

A Psalm of Change.

Forgive me O'Lord
For I have sinned.
I have put others before you.
I have put loves before love.

Bring me back.
Bring me back to where my heart was fashioned.
Bring me back to the place of full joy.

Renew In me the life that does not grow tired from the day.
Renew In me my convictions once again.
As a piece of clothing goes thru states of Dirty and clean.
Wash me once again, That I may be clean

Hold me up,
With the right sort of living.
Support me with the beams that hold eternity.
Take my heart and guard it.
As a castle, guards it king.
As a mother, guards it children.
As a flower, guards it beauty.

Dont throw me away.
But bring me In.
Invite me back into my own home.
Draw me closer to the place I know as my own.
Do not take my best friend away.

Do not let my pride get in the way.
Do not let my comfort get in the way.
Do not let my Loves get in the way.

But include me along in the adventure.
Give me the torch to run with.
Place a sword in my hand.
For your kingdom must overflow into mine.
Your will must overrule my own.
If my life is to truly begin.

2010-02-02T01:14:00.000+08:00

my bible is lost.

I feel lost.

Psalm iv

2010-01-28T14:45:00.001+08:00

"I am left motionless at the mention of your name.

I am stunned at the works of your hands

I am in awe at the magnitude of your love."

2010-01-16T01:21:00.001+08:00

Well blogs are dying.

mine is at least.

2010-01-12T18:31:00.001+08:00

In this moment

At this time

This week

Whatever Your doing amongst all of the chaos

I pray that we would catch this one thing

the heart of God

Gods heart is for everyone

everyone.

I have stood in front of some crowds

crowds are great

But only because its made up of

lots of Ones

And I can stand here

And to be honest

I can see a few rows back

then its kinda one big progression into blurville

Its just blurry at the top

But

Every single person in this room is Somebody

Everyone is Someone

Everyone is Unique

Everyone is created by God in His Image.

Everyone.

And we can hear all the statistics in the world

that a 100,000 people are dead in some part of the world

and its gonna be 200,000 people soon...

Well would it make a difference if it was 200,001?

or would it make a difference if it was 199,999?

Everyone Is Somebody.

The value of our lives

Is EXACTLY the same

Your life is not anymore valuable than anybody elses

And its not any Less valuable than anybody elses

//////////////////////////////////////

I think about this moment

Cos this moment is all we've got

And so often we live in reflection

And we live thinking about what we're gonna do

And we let this moment pass us by

And the world is what it is

Because of the way Generations before us

Have acted and reacted to their time in the moment

And the future will be what it is

based on how we act and react

to the oppurtunities we have in this moment

And we can see all the videos

And we can be moved

We can see pictures of children who have nothing

We can hear the stories

And learn the statistics on these great imbalances that exist in our world

And it can move us

But if we are just moved

And we dont walk in their direction

If we are simply moved

and dont step out of our comfort and our convinience

And our oppurtunity to reach out

To anybody, who needs help

Then whats all of this about.

2009-11-30T00:49:00.001+08:00

I was in Agony

I was lost

In my desperation

I sought solemness

I Needed to be alone with God

I Just NEEDED to be alone with God

After all the crying out

After all the whys

After all the questions.

I heard him say..

I Created You The Way You Are..

As I waited for the "but.." or

the magnificent second part to the line of speech..

I laid still on the ground..

Shutting off any other sound or voice

As I waited...

*****************************************************

But there was no conclusion...

There was no explaination for the answer..

I asked him.. Wat do you mean?

I Created you the way you are?

because? so? but?

Whats next Lord?

As I pounded him with questions and cries..

He stood silent..

The exact same line came back over and over again...

*******************************************************

Sometimes.. We question the answer to our question..

We ask God so many things.. But when he gives us an answer

Often the one we dont really understand or want..

We ask him for a million explainations for himself...

Yet God stands on his word.. He stands on his answers..

He stands on his promises..

I Asked him

why I was so selfish?

Why I was so irresponsible?

Why I was so disgusting?

Why he had allowed me to become who I am?

Why I couldnt bare my own ridiculous ways any longer?

I asked God why I was, what I was..

And all he could say.. was that

I created You the way You are..

What more did I need?

What more was required?

How simplier could it have gotten?

Our Answer Is Jesus.

In Him we find ourselves.

Psalm 3

2009-11-27T23:48:00.002+08:00

Father,

Truly I am weak.

Truly I am frail.

What use am I to you?

What use can my imperfections be to you?

Why does my sun darken with hurt?

Why is my skies painted with worry?

Why is my air polluted with trouble?

Why are the flowers coloured with death?

My heart is heavy
My head is low

My arms cry out in silence

My eyes are dried up

*inhale*

Father,

I know now

That in my time of trouble

In my moment of need

In the second that my heart is about to give in

That its not about Me

Its always been about you

How come I constantly forget

The prayer I pray over my life day after day

"that Your kingdom would come

& Your will be done

In My world, as it is in Yours"

Thank you Father

For not letting me slip too far off

That you allow me to allow myself

To slip away from you

But still just close enough for you to pull me back home

What could separate this endless love?

i love you,

i really do

-JoshSeb

WANT.

2009-11-20T02:05:00.001+08:00

mann... i was so down a few moments ago..

the whole material things thingy got my down again...

and the holy spirit told me to go read psalm 23

so im like... ohhh i get it..

the whole "i shall not want" bit right HS?

and for a while.. in my ignorant, self-proclaimed, knowledge..

I was like... yeahh.. i get it... i get it...

Then i felt my soul yearning to hear that chapter read out..

So i did...

check this out...

Psalm 23 (The Message)

Psalm 23

A David Psalm

^1-3 God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
you find me quiet pools to drink from.
True to your word,
you let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.

⁴ Even when the way goes through
Death Valley,
I'm not afraid
when you walk at my side.
Your trusty shepherd's crook
makes me feel secure.

⁵ You serve me a six-course dinner
right in front of my enemies.
You revive my drooping head;
my cup brims with blessing.

⁶ Your beauty and love chase after me
every day of my life.
I'm back home in the house of GOD
for the rest of my life.

it was after I read this.. That my heart suddenly felt calm..

i mean.. heck the wanting bit..

I AM BACK HOME IN THE HOUSE OF GOD

That is aweSOME.

That left me feeling good..

But check out the amplified version..

Psalm 23 (Amplified Bible)

⁶Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.

SURELY OR ONLY!

I MEAN... WOW!

you cant beat that..

ONLY Goodness, mercy AND unfailing love will hunt me down...

GOD IS so GOOD[period]

Psalm chapter two

2009-11-15T01:33:00.000+08:00

My Heart is troubled

My soul is weary

My shoulders are fattened

with weight not my own

My eyes fail me

they neither open or closed

My hands are tired

they sleep on the bottom of the deepest ocean

I closed my eyes in the middle of my troubles

I silenced my tougue in the eye of the storm

I hid my hands during the battle

I stood still while the fight raged on

But I opened my ears

And heard the ringing sound

Of an unfailling love

I opened my heart

To rest and surrender

and out poured rivers of life

Truly, None Other can satisfy

No Victory, No Defeat

No solution, No problem

No trial, No hurt

For my soul longs for thee

My heart yerns for thee

For my spirit needs more than

What I can achieve

You are faithful

You are Just

You are love

You are hope

You are mine

+amen

..&now

2009-11-12T01:12:00.002+08:00

In a world that the simplest of truths has been twisted so much..

In a age where dignity is simply an idea..

In a time where injustice is dominant..

In a season where we simply just dont care anymore...

In a life that constantly changes...

In a generation that loves themselves..

In truth.. What do we actually know?

What have we actually seen? What is right? What is truth? What is real?

Humanity has been manipulated so badly.. That common sense is no longer something real..

Mercy has become something only Gods are capable of..

Love has become sex

Hope is now something for the rich countries..

Faith has become religion...

Joy has become a memory...

*however

One thing that remains

When everything has faded away..

The word..

And the message that comes from the word is that..

God is Love

And in this world.. And in our lives...

Nothing will ever change that...

nothing

I just got it..

2009-11-02T12:43:00.001+08:00

You know we are called to

Love God And Love our Neighbour

Now I Realized Why Worship And Justice Are Suppose To Be Side By Side

Why One Cannot And Should Not Be Done Without The Other

Because When We Worship.. In A Nutshell, We Are Loving God

But When We Do Justice.. We Are Loving Our Neighbour

Loving The One Who 1st Loved Us

And Loving The Unlovable..

Its What We've Been Commanded To Do

Its What I Want To Spend My Life Doing

Loving Jesus And Loving People

Dont you just love the bible.

2009-10-29T01:16:00.000+08:00

“He has shown you, O man, what is good;And what does the Lord require of you. But to do Justice, To Love Mercy & to walk Humbly with your God”

+Micah6:8

my psalm

2009-10-28T12:30:00.002+08:00

Lord, The weights of this life trouble me

They are too heavy a burden to bare

My enemies are countless in number.

They outnumber those that are for me..

My responsibilities have pulled me back

My past has dragged me down

Surely my sin will be the death of me

Surely my enemies will capture me

I am surrounded by an army of myself

I am dead

For I am no longer alive

My enemies have buried me

My family has weeped

But yet I still breathe..

Why does my heart feel troubled?

Why does my soul long?

Only you can satisfy

Lover of my soul

You are my heart Lord

What are ten thousand horses?

What are five million men?

What is the east from the west?

What is the earth to the sky?

Nothing can separate me from you

What is tiredness? You never sleep.

What is sin? You are righteousness.

What is hurt? You are comfort.

What is hate? You are love.

What is change? You are immutable.

What is distance? You are here.

&
What is death? You are Life.

"[Grace is] the greatest unused resource in all the world. It is the wealth of God's kindness, the riches of his mercy; the soothing ointment of his forgiveness; the free and undeserved, but lavishly offered hope of eternal life. Grace is what we crave when we are guilt-laden. Grace is what we must have when we come to die. Grace is our only ray of hope when the future darkens over with storm clouds of fear."

I Am Not Content Just Watching Amazing Worship Nights On A Screen

I Am Not Content Sitting Back And Watching My Generation Die

I Am Not Content Letting Hillsong And Other Organizations Be The Only Sense Of Justice In My World

I Am Not Content 'LIVING' My Life

I Am Not Content Listening To People Dying And Just Go On With My Life

I Am Not Content Letting The Reject Be Rejected

I Am Not Content Allowing The Forgotten To Remain Forgotten

I Am Not Content Giving The Devil Rights To Anything.

I Am Not Content Watching Videos And Simply Be Moved

I Am Not Content Living A Ordinary Christian Life

I Am Not Content With The Equality Happening Outside Our 4walls

I Am Not Content Thinking Of Amazing Outreaches In Other Country

And Not Doing Anything HERE

I Am Not Content Staying Found While Others Are Lost

I Am Not Content Anymore.

Ask Yourself This Simple Question:

Hows Your Heart Doing?

Josh.

Things We Take For Granted.

2009-09-28T22:16:00.004+08:00

You Know..

Dreams Are So Beautiful..

They can transport you to places you... Well.. Only dream of being..

Whether it be with that loved one thats too far away from you..

Or to the future, Where you see God's Faithfulness so amazingly evident..

Dreams Are God Given Presents..

The Word Dream Also Means A Goal..

A Want To Do In Life..

Its amazing how easily we just change our dream..

Do you remember the last time someone asked you..

'What You Wanted To Be When You Grew Up?'

We Have Such A Beautiful Opportunity To Chase

The Dream..

But Do You Know That 3 Houses From Us..

(lets not even go to africa)

There is a family who cant dream.

Basically... They cant afford to dream..

Mr.No One has to work 14hours a day

Just to put food on the table for his

little daughter who wants to be

someone who changes the world

What about Ms.Who..

Who cleans the neighbor's house everyday as a maid

Shes treated as a slave by her "neighbor"

Just so she can put her two boys thru school..

As she sees them come home from school everyday

She embraces them like it was her last day with them..

You Know I Dont Believe In

"you dont know what you have til its gone" Anymore

In the world I live in... its more like,

"you dont know what you have til you see

what others Actually have"

Josh.

That is just the way it was

Nothing could be better and nothing ever was

Oh, they say you can see your future

Inside a glass of water, the riddles and the rhymes

"will i see heaven in mine?"

Oh, son, dont ask

neither how full nor empty is your glass

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast

What are we drinking when we're done?

Glasses of water

No, I Dont wanna battle from beginning to end

I dont want to cycle or recycle revenge

I dont want to follow death and all of his friends

+"Glasses of Water" & "Death And All His Friends"

Name.

2009-09-24T01:26:00.002+08:00

what is a Christian?

the word christian is only used 3 times in the bible

its a noun, its description of a person

it is NOT an adjective

theres no such thing as Christian music

theres no such thing as a Christian book

or a Christian book shop

book shops dont get saved

we have reduced this awesome word that we should be living

to a simple descriptive term

i reckon we take a look at who christians really are

and then when we become like them

we could change this city, we could make a difference

How?

2009-09-21T17:37:00.002+08:00

How Do We Stand And Watch?

How Do We Simply Be Moved By A Video And Do Nothing Further?

How Do We Manage To Disregard A Life Half Way Across The World; No.. A Life Right Outside Our Doorstep?

How Do We Cross A Paralyzed Man On The Side Of The Road And Turn Away

How Do We Claim To Give Everything To Him While We Still Turn Our Backs On The Hurting

How Do We Live Lives That Are So Self Centered?

How Do We Serve Jesus In The Church Building With Passion And Show None Of That Same Passion When We Leave The Building?

How Do We Still Live In Gluttony, Knowing Someone Isnt Gonna Make It Thru The Night Simply Because They Have No Money?

Yes There Is Only So Much We Can Do..

But What Are We Actually Doing?

In The Meantime..

2009-09-16T01:13:00.002+08:00

Justice Can Never Be A One Time Project.
Justice Is The Fruit Of Genuine Love For All Humanity
It Has To Be A Lifestyle That We Choose To Live
I Pray That Justice Isnt A Fad In My Life
But A Prayer For My Life

I Hope That God Rips Me Up

I Desire To See My Life Torn Up For You In Hopes That Yours Would Be Whole

But At The Same Time..
The Journey To Ending Injustice
Starts With One Project...

Lets Put A 2 Between InJustice

More Than Just A Feeling..

2009-09-14T16:29:00.003+08:00

I Believe,

That When Reality Hits Home.

We Are Left With Nothing To Do Other Than Justice.

Fact Is That 30,000 Children Will Die Today

Simply Because They Dont Have A Chance To Eat

Its Not Fair How Someone In A '3rd World' Country

Can Simply Be Forgotten When Theyre No Different Than Me

Its Not Fair That I Can Spend 50rm In A Week On Lifes Gluttony

While 50rm A Month Is All That Is Needed To Save A Child

Fact Is That There Is Someone Dying Right Now

Its Not Fair That We Can Encounter God And Live In Freedom

When There Are Teens Dying Of Spiritual Hunger

Its Not Fair That We Treat Africa Like Its The Dump Of The World

Fact Is That I Spend More Time Thinking About Me

Than I Do About Someone Else

Its Not Fair How We Can Be Shy To Bring The Jesus To Others

When Jesus Is All They Really Need.

Its Not Fair That I Can So Easily Spend 3bucks

To Get On A Train And Visit My Friend

While 3Bucks Is The Monthly Pay Of Someone

Fact Is That There Are Communities Right Outside

The Doors Of Our Homes And Our Church

That Lie Untouched And Unsaved

Simply Because We're More Concerned
About What Goes On Inside..

Maybe We've Missed The Point.

Maybe We've Spent So Much Time Blaming Each Other

That We've Forgotten The Reason We're Here, Now.

Maybe All We Need To Do Is Smile.

Maybe All We Need To Do Is Be Who God Has Called Us To Be

Justice.

2009-09-11T15:16:00.002+08:00

Open our eyes

To see the things that make Your heart cry

To be the church that You would desire

Your light to be seen

Break down our pride

And all the walls we’ve built up inside

Our earthly crowns and all our desires

We lay at Your feet

Let hope rise

And darkness tremble

In Your holy light

That every eye will see

Jesus our God

Great and mighty to be praised

God of all days

Glorious in all of Your ways

Oh the majesty the wonder and grace

In the light of Your Name

With everything

We will shout for Your glory

With everything

We will shout forth Your praise

Our hearts they cry

Be glorified

Be lifted high above all names

For You our King

With everything

We will shout forth Your praise

I Woke Up Today From A Dream That Shock Me..

It Went In Such A Way That Could Actually Happen..

And Right At The End Of The Whole NORMALlike Dream

Something Different Happened.. And That Was Amazing..

I Mean There Was A God Moment In My Dream..

It Was So Amazing And Unbelievable How God Came Into

A Normal Everyday Life Situation And Just

Godified It...

But Almost In The Very Next Moment

The Devil Was Given An Opportunity To Test Me..

And That CRUSHED Me.. Whatever Happened Right After That GodMoment

Absolutely Crushed Me...

And I Woke Up...

But The Amazing Thing Is That

The Devil Tried To Attack Me Thru My Subconscience..

But God Came Into My Reality...

Because The Real Test Comes After All Of That..

Will I Just Go

"eh. it was just a dream. i'll forget it and get on with my day"

Or Will I Decide To Tell The Gospel Of Your Day..

The Darling.

2009-08-27T01:06:00.003+08:00

this is zeke

see zeke is basically the most loved baby

on the face of the planet right now...

you know how when pastor's have cute babies

that their church just falls in love with em'

try having two churches from two nations lovin ya..

coming for celebrity visits every two months

where he is showered with undivided attention

loved by every single human being that looks at him

now thats zeke

he basically is the Darling of church

Then I Thought..

What Would It Be Like If We Compared

Zeke And Church

To Jesus And Heaven....

See Jesus Was Sent By God Away From Heaven...

How Do You Think His Father And The Angels Felt?

I Cant Bare To Imagine How I Would Feel If Zeke Was Taken Away...

In Hillsongs' "worthy is the lamb"

Theres A Line That Goes;

"..the darling of heaven crucified"

It took alot to let Jesus go from heaven

knowing that he would have to bare the horrible pain

of not just the cross...

but simply the distance...

sometimes we forget that Jesus was just as human as we are

that he went thru the same crap that we go thru..

He didnt hail himself as above all...

But he became real.

My God Is So Amazing

That He Allowed The Darling Of Heaven

To Be The Darling Of My Life

Everyone can see a dramatic fall

Not everyone noticese the little reverses...

Ya'know about 15 minutes ago...

I Got irratated at a few of my girls..

And after a long day.. I sorta allowed myself to get mad..

Just abit...

Keeping My Egos And Self Praise Down Was Tiring...

And Hours Were Spent...

I mean.. I had a good reason...

Then He stopped me.

Its Not The Abilities Of The Spirit.

I Need To Get Back Into That River Of God.

I Need Time Off..

I Need A Break...

I Need One on One Time..

I Need My Jesus.

Josh.

Comfort.

2009-08-12T00:30:00.002+08:00

I Believe.

That when we become comfortable with our lives..

We allow complacency to creep in..

We develop reasons to draw back.

We give ourselves excuses NOT to give it all...

Recently.. thats how its been for me.

I mean if we are not getting bombarded

left, right and center by the Devil

Means we're not doing anything thats making him go

"ohh dang... theres that child of God again.."

If all we do is live comfortable lives...

Wheres the adventure? Wheres the excitment?

WHERES THE LIFE?!

"all men die, Few ever LIVE" +braveheart

What kind of life is

Waking up at 7am

Getting ready for school (for students)

Going to school..

Sitting next to the same person you always sit with..

Eating lunch.

Trying to stay awake in class

Going to a CF

Coming back..

Staring in front of the computer

Doing Homework

And Sleeping..

I Mean.. That is just terrible...

There Should Be A GodElement In Our Lives.

EVERYDAY. EVERY MOMENT.

Its THIS MOMENT! Not later....

Im not pointing fingers..
Cause I Have become this way too...

We Cant be the CHANGE.GENERATION

And live lives that are exactly the same like the people out there...

For us to be the change.

We have to change.

Comfort+Familiarity=Giving99%

Church.

2009-08-03T22:46:00.002+08:00

Alot Of People Dont Understand How Crucial It Is To Be Part Of A Church Family.

Church Is Just The Right Godly Thing To Do On A Sunday..

Church Is Just A Place You Have To Be To Show The WORLD Your God's...

Church Is Pointless

Church Is Boring

Church Is A Place Where You Make So Called "GODLY" Friends..

Church Is A Chance To Check Out Some Girls...

Church Is The Sleeping Spot.

Church Is Just The Four Walls....

Honestly.. After Melly Left This Morning..

I Felt Utterly Crushed.

I Felt Like There Was No Hope...

Family Had Left And I'd Never Get To See Her Again..

My Future Seemed So Uncertain...

Then The Boys And I Got Locked Out Of Office Because

Staff Was Having Conference Meeting...

So After A Nap Beside The Pool...

I Was Still Feeling Crushed....

After Heaps Of Jokes

I Felt Better...

In That Moment I Realised That We Didnt Get Locked Out By Chance..

We Didnt All Come To Office by Chance...

God Wanted To Cheer Me Up..

He Missed That Priceless Smile On My Face

And He Was So Desperate To See It Again

(wow.. I can believed I just typed that)

Coming back from Footie Training...

I Felt Down Again... And Thought.. God.. Why?

Checking My Facebook After The Awesome Bath I Had...

There Was A Message In My Inbox..

It Was A Guy From Church..

Who Had Saw My Status Going "utterly crushed"

And He Told Me His Experience And How Theres Hope..

That ABSOLUTELY Lifted Me...

See Church Isnt About People.

Its About Family...

Its A Place Where You Can Run To And KNOW

With Such A God Assurance That Your In Good Hands.

I Found My Hope In God Back Today Thru Family...

I May Have Lost One Of My Family.. But I Realized That

There Are So Many More People In This Family God Placed Me In..

theres that smile you missed daddy...

Josh.

i want to be there.

2009-07-31T23:01:00.001+08:00

Josh.

This Changes EVERYTHING.

2009-07-24T00:15:00.002+08:00

I Believe.

That When We Genuinely Offer Something Up To God.

There Is No Good, There Is No Bad.

Just Worship.

Josh.

Today. The Current Frontier

2009-07-23T23:50:00.003+08:00

Feeling Down And Out.

Betrayed By The Day

I Came Into The Presence Of A King.

Having Sinned Only Moments Ago

I Felt Paralyzed By The Self Guilt.

Unable To Release Myself To Worship

Unable To Look Upon The Face

Of The One Who Gave It All For Me

Unable To Sing The Words

I Love You More Than Life...

Because I Couldnt Even Stop Myself

From Sinning Yet Again....

I Was Broken.

I Was Shattered.

I Was Shamed.

I Was Teased.

I Was Betrayed.

I Was Sad.

I Was Down And Out For The Count.

The Brothers Had Begun To Shoot

Little Small Insignificant Darts....

That Made small Little Wounds...

That In Time Molded Itself Into Hurt.

Didnt Have Time...

Had Too Many Things To Do Today...

Had Planned To Spend Time With God.

Planned To Fast Her And Spend Time With Him.

Decided To Journal The Next Morning.

Knew I Had To Come Up With Some

GODSTORY To Tell The Worship Team Later On..

Felt Terrible That I Had Slept In The Morning

Instead Of Doing What I Had Told Myself To Do.

See These Three Stories Are Basically Life.

And Excuses That I Use So I Wont Have To

GIVE IT ALL

Its These Kind Of Days That I Have A REASON
To Hold Just Abit Back.

Its The Moments Where I Just Wish The Pain, Hurt, Guilt

Would Just Go Away

But You See Its Not About The Excuses

Its Not About The Whys

Its Not About The What Ifs

Its Not About The Reasons

Its Not About The Pain Hurt Guilt..

Its Not Even About Me.

Its All About Him. And If We Begin To Live To A Level And Calling

That Understand Who We Are IN GOD And Not In This World

Man. Thats It.

See I Heard This That Day...

If You Were To Take A 20$ Bill...

And Crumple It... And Mess It Up...

It'd Pretty Yuck.. And Pretty UnNew...

But Its Value Is Still The Same.

If You Were To Throw It On The Ground

Stomp On It.. Spit On It.. Or Even Kick It..

Yeahhh.. It May Be Down And Low..

But Its Value Remains...

You Could Even Tear It And Break It..

All You Gotta Do Is Run To The Bank

And Get Changed...

+sj

See Our Value Doesnt Change. How God Sees Us Doesnt Change.

Its Not How We Appear.. Its Not What We've Done..

Its Not What We Havent Done... Its Not Whats Happened To Us..

Its Who We Are.

Josh.

2009-07-15T23:23:00.004+08:00

Upon Entering The Kindy My Family Owns

While Reading "wild at heart",

I Felt The Need To Eat Something*not the 1st time eva*

As I Opened The Fridge Doors, I Noticed A Tin Of

Famous Amos

Chocolate Chip & Pecan Cookies

*pause to drool*

Then It Came To Me....

Wasnt It Weird That There Was A Tin Of Cookies In The Fridge?

But Then Again, We're All Weird In Some Way..

So I Took One Out Of The Tin & Ate It.

Next Thing I Know, Im Munching On One
While Having Another In Hand.

Why?

Its Not Just Because Im Me..

But Because I Had Never Eaten A Cold Cookie Before.

The Taste Was Weird & Strange

But Somehow It Was Good.

And I Thought To Myself....

"i loveee cookiess :) but only HOT ones..

or COLD ones.. like these!

Normal ones are just boring and yuck.

Then It Occurred To Me...

Its The Same With Us And God..

Just As We Delight In Cookies. He Delights In Us.

And He ABSOLUTELY Adores The Taste Of Hot Cookies

That Melt In The Mouth Of Its Eater...

&Every Now And Again...

He Enjoys The Weird Class Of The Cold Cookie.

Because Its Unique In Its Own Way...

But As For The Plain, Normal, Lukewarm Cookie

It May Be Tasty..

But It Doesnt Get Him Addicted. And LONGING For More..

See God Is Just Like Us. He Loves The Same Things We Love,

He Enjoys The Same Things We Enjoy...

He Is At The End Of The Day OUR God.

And Dont Be Worried If You LOVE Them Normal Cookies...

Im Not Saying God Hates You...But This Is For Me (:

See God Is A God Who Chooses What God Roles He Plays Perfectly For You.

No, It Doesnt Mean He Has A Identity Crisis,

No, It Doesnt Mean God Cant Make Up Who He Is..

It Also Doesnt Mean God Changes His Ways For Us..

Because God Isnt A God Of Preference. He Is A God Of Applicability

And Whatever Your Taste Buds Tell You (:

God Told Em To Do That.

Coming Back To The Illustration Of Us Being Cookies...

God Loves The Ones That Are Steaming Hot

On Fire And All Out Burning For Him.

He Also Loves Those Who Feel Cold. And Lost And Broken

Because He Wants To Draw Them Back To Him.

But Somehow. He Doesnt Like Them Normal Ones..

Simply Because They Are Normal.

Whatever Type Of Cookie You Are Today.

Just Remember One Thing..

We're Still his Cookies Anyway♥

God Is Everywhere.

He Is On Your Right & Left.

Holding Your Hand As Your Walk Thru Life..

He Is Behind You.

Pushing You Forward Into The Unknown

That Your Too Afraid To Face Alone.

He Is InFront Of You.

Leading You To The Place Only He Knows

While Teaching You Trust.

He Is Below You.

Holding You Up When Your Too Weak

To Hold Yourself Up.

He Is Above You.

Watching Your Everystep Because Your His.

You Couldnt Run From God Even If You Tried,

Even When You Feel Distant From God.

Its Pratically Impossible To Be Far Away

From God Because He Is Simply Everywhere.

The Only Time You Are Far Away From Him

Is When You Allow Yourself To Believe

What The Devil Tells You In Your Mind.

God Is Everywhere You Are

Because He Simply Wants To Be.

Josh.

Written In Words.

2009-07-06T02:20:00.003+08:00

Inspiration - To recieve devine assistance.. To recieve from God.

You know words, most of the time are unappriciated.

I mean. they have such power stored within them.

Even the Smallest. Can created the Biggest effect.

For me. I get affected by the small things.

Big things I can handle..

But its those little things that constantly get me thinking once again...

Whether it be

a small insult by a close friend

not being forgiven by sunshine(:

being called useless,

or maybe even a joke.

Words have such power. And when used with Authority.

They are absolute Life Changers.

I Believe Jesus knew, understood & practiced Words of Authority

Because He KNEW who His Father was...

And the power that words possess...

I Pray that today, You would recieve something...

Whether it be encouragement or a reminder.

Our words have such Incredible ability to change Futures.

If we. This Generation, Live in a Lifestyle Of Loosed Tougueness

Our worlds will remain the same.

But if We. Decide to live lifes consecrated for Him and Him Alone.

Satan wont be singing who let the Doggs out no more. *rudy

Didnt really intend for this post to go into this.

Basically just wanted to say that

'nowadays when I start writting.. sometimes I cant stop'

But I guess this is proof enough :)

Josh.

2009-07-04T00:01:00.002+08:00

We are Wicked in our ways.

we are undeserving of your Goodness.

Lord father I am so unworthy of your Love.

Even when I fail.. I still can feel you calling me back

when you rise.. you take me with you...

when I am trying to fly

You make me soar.

Josh.

*theres so much more to say

but i wont say it today*
**USHHH GAYAA!!!**

Loosing Our Identity.

2009-06-30T01:54:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I Dont Know Who I Am Anymore.

Today I Was Talking To Dillion And Amelia

And Me And Dillion Were In Awe Of

How God Has Changed Us.....

I Asked Me And Him... Imagine Us One Year Ago...

I Mean.. God Can Change And Use ANYONE At ANYTIME

All It Takes Is One Moment.

Then Later On I Was Chatting With Melia...

And I Started To Share My Heart..

Later I Looked Back And Was Amazed At How I Was Speaking.

Example...

this shouldnt only be at camps

this should be church

our LIVES should be like this

i mean... if we're not living for God.. what are we doing?

if we're not all out for God... we're not for God

there isnt any 1/2 out for God

its all or nothing

the church should be EMPOWERING people so much on a sunday

that we can be the church the rest of the week

God Is Just AMAZING.....

Do This... Think About Where You Were 1 year Ago...

What Were You Doing... How You Were Talking... What Were You Believing..

Etc

If You Arent Changed And Closer To God Now Then You Were A Year Ago.

Get Off The Computer Now... And Start Worshiping.. Remember...

All It Takes Is ONE Moment.

Josh.

Camp.

2009-06-29T00:41:00.001+08:00

Dont Want To Say Much... But I Do Want To Say This...

Camp May Be Over. But The Ministry Has Just Begun.

The Struggle.

2009-06-25T02:26:00.002+08:00

Everyone seems to be getting together.

Love is in the air...

Today I sat on some stairs in the heart of Subang..

& the thought of being single really struck me...

I struggled with it for awhile..

And I knew I there was always that Girl

I could get together with....

And somehow I managed to ask myself...

I MISS HAVING SOMEONE TO SAY

I LOVE YOU To....

Then It Hit Me.

Ive Got God To Say I Love You To Dont I?

Ive Got A Love That Goes Beyond Everything I Know And Feel..
And Its A Love Relationship Ive Got To Keep At EVERYDAY

And Fall In Love Again And Again And Again And Again..

Of Course Its Not Going To Be Easy...

Staying All Out For God Until My Love Comes....

But Til Then.. I Have To Have The Capacity To Love God

That The Desires Of My Flesh Will Be Lesser Than That Love For Him.

Its Hard. It Really Is.

But Its A Journey I Believe All Of Us Are On.

Josh.

Like Wow.

2009-06-21T23:49:00.003+08:00

Today I Learnt Something...

And Just In Time I Believe....

Leading Worship Or Praise...

You Know Its Not About You..

And What YOU Bring To The Team...

Its Simply About The People...

Its Not About The Fancy Lights..
Or The Amazing Guitar Effects...

Or A Killer Drum Set...

Its About Them. Others. And Worship.

Leading Is Connecting Others To God.

Whether That Be Thru Example Or Just Showing Them The Way.

Thats My Job. Thats Our Job. Its All About Others.

Love God. Love Others.

Josh.

My 14.6.09 Prayer...

2009-06-14T22:21:00.005+08:00

I Want To Go Home.

Im In Such A Horrible Place Now..

I Cant Take The Hate Anymore....

I Shouldnt Be Here... Im In A Town I Never Heard Of...

Its Dark Everywhere.. The People Are Filled With Hate.

Which Is Everything You Are Not...

I Cant Stand This Place....

Its So Hard To Love People Who Just Want To Hate....

Its So Hard....

I Am Longing For That Day When I Can Hug You Once Again..

Where I Can Feel Your Sweet Embrace...

Where I Am Loved.. And Loved Abundantly...

I Miss Home. I Miss That Place.. Where It Was Only Me &You.

I Dont Belong Here... I Need To Come Home...

My Heart Yerns For The Day We'll Be Together Again...

But Until That Day Comes......

Let Me Love Like How You Have Loved Me...

Let Me Care Like How You Have Cared For Me...

Let Me Forgive Like How You Forgave Me......

Let Me Love Those Who Dont Deserve To Be Loved...

Let Me Care For The Lost, The Broken & The Hurt.....

Let Me Forgive Those Whom I Hate A Right To Hate..

Let Me Be You In This World Father...

Josh.

*not my will.. but yours be done*

Just A Thought.

2009-06-12T16:20:00.004+08:00

Let Love Tear Down

These Walls That All

Creation Will Come Back To You

Its All For You.

Let Love. Tear Down These Walls.

We Asked The Question To Our Leaders & Sometimes To God.

How Do We Reach The Nation?

I Would Like To Change The World. But How?

The Answer?

Love.

For God Is Love.

Let Love Tear Down. These Walls.

Josh.

The Search.

2009-06-12T02:49:00.003+08:00

I Believe That Every Person Keeps Searching Until

They Find Jesus.

I Believe That Every Human Is Searching For 3 Things.

To Belong, To Feel Loved, And Truth.

Which Is Found Only In Jesus.

Josh.

The Paper Project.

2009-06-11T01:23:00.001+08:00

Requires...

A Whole Load Of Paint.

A Whole Load Of Paper.

A Whole Load Of Hours.

A Whole Load Of Imagination.

A Whole Load Of Creativity.

& Jesus

Stay Tuned To See The Final Work.

Josh.

No Compromise.

2009-06-11T01:09:00.004+08:00

Ive Decided... Thats It.....

No More Living A Life Of Contentment...

No More Turning Back...

No More Looking Back Into The Past..

No More Feeling Sorry For Myself...

No More Feeling Bad About Past Relationships...

No More Living In Denial...

No More Excuses...

No More Lukewarm...

No More Cheating...

No More Faking..

No More Trying To Impress...

No More Sucking Up...

No More Compromise.

I Choose To Be Different..

I Choose To Be The Difference..

I Choose To Live Consecrated...

I Choose To Be A Jesus Freak...

I Choose To Love.

I Choose To Forgive..

I Choose To Change..

I Choose To Want More...

I Choose God.

Josh.

Its One Way Jesus.
