my explanation, for the topic: you can be so pious or religious, you can do all the methods that you feel will make you clean, you can stay away from trouble and tell yourself, that b/c of that, you will go to heaven unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. What GOd wants from us is this: a whole life devoted to Him, a life driven for his power, not being religous, but to take his word and apply to one's self. i just had to state that b/c our church has been talking about how religion view differ from what GOd wants---still confuse?
ok let me give you an exp:
if a person is about to die from a disease
religion's thought: "may be GOd intented it to be, or may GOd is teaching you a lesson"
relation's thought: "you, yourself, have caused your self to be cursed, it wasn't God's plan, but 'by his wounds you have been healed'"
if this person, acts by Faith and states what is his, he will get healed. My Pastor's wife was healed of an incurable disease, they said she wouldn't leave--but thank GOd, GOd had a plan for her, that she wasn't just going to die, this is what God wants for our lives to live fully.
i really hope that i don't sound pious to you guys ^_^;;
HOw are we all? today is a little busy for me, b/c i have to study for my bio quiz, and everyday this week i'm going to have a quiz on bones so it's going to be a little hectic.
a little word about my comic, it's different from probably what you guys have seen so, i hope you guys like it, my 2 friends who saw it, said that they like it so what do you guys think?
here is the cover page and a page of my comic:
as you can see that some things are colored, but once i got started with the coloring, i realize that seeing different colors would be annoying so for some of my pages i just turned it gray scale. and The name of my comic, i actually got the idea from a friend who's screenname is Chiyono. the cover sucks, i think b/c i was trying to draw an aerial view, so i'm still practicing on making my perspectives look nice.
instead of a verse today i'm just going to share a story I got on the bibble study:
The donkey
One day a farmer's donkey fell into the well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided that the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, and it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. THen, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down into the the well, and was astonished at what he saw. As every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey did something amazing. He would shake the dirt off and take a step up. as the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off.
The moral of this story is that life will shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of a hole is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest holes just by not stopping, never giving up; shaking it off and taking a step up!
REMEMBER FIVE SIMPLE RULES:
1. Free you heart from hatred
2. Free your mind from worries
3. Live simply
4. Give more
5. Expect less
how can we meet this? by following GOd's word
i've made my daily rounds--my friend's sites--- today, and i think i might search for another midi today, if i have enough time
