Today I read Romans 9-10. Take a good 20 minutes at LEAST top read, reread, read again, and meditate on this word. God gave us this law for a reason. Why not take something God has given us and tell others about it? Read this section and comment below what you think. God bless y'all!

Tomorrow I am reading Genesis 16-19. Enjoy.

Day 28/365 Bible in a Year
Today I read Matthew 8-10. It was exciting because I was half asleep when I was attempting it the first times and I was actually imaginng things ha! Anyway. I did read it again twice. Lol. It's all good!
Chapter 8
This is when Jesus begins performing miracles around His city to all its people. The first miracle recorded by Matthew was the man healed of leprosy. If you don't know what leprosy is I can tell you. Leprosy is a nasty chronic disease caused by a certain bacteria. It looks like this when on your face...
http://www.asnom.org/image/421_lepre/IB071_lepre.jpg
Jesus just healed it no problem. He healed Peter's mother in law and others, a Roman officer's servant.. MANY more! Then he tells his followers about the price of following Him. He then goes out on the water in a boat with His disciples on their way to Gadarenes. A storm came and the disciple became afraid. Jesus calmed the storm, again no problem. See how easy it is for Him to take care of our problems? He takes them from us so easily.. it seems like they aren't even a burden to Him.
Jesus casts demons out of the two men on Gadarenes. Amazing right?
Chapter 9
He even healed the paralyzed man (yes I said paralyzed), He even ate with us sinners instead of the righteous. He justified His actions by these words,
"Healthy people don't need a doctor-sick people do." Matthew 9:12
He then heals a woman who has been stuck bleeding for years.. with AGAIN, no problem! He also heals a little girl who everyone knew was dead. Jesus simply told them she was sleeping and took her by the a\hand and told her to wake up and BAM! She did. He healed the blind and the mute, they could see again. Speak again.. So great a gift from God. Then he urged His disciples to pray for more workers for Christ. He tells them that He is about to send them all out to cast demons form people and heal people.
Chapter 10
Jesus also sent out His disciple after He told them what He was going to give them the power to do. They would heal the nation of Israel, ONLY the people of Israel not the Geniles or the Samaritans. They were to take NOTHING with them but the minimal. One pair of clothes, and Christ's words. Jesus tells the disciples that they will be persectued throughout this trial all the way until even after His death. They may even be killed for what they are doing, but they need to perservere.
Isn't that what God is asking us to do every day? Perservere? Duh! I know my spelling may not be correct, but you get the word I am stating. God wants us to pray continuously, to follow Him no matter what life throws at us, good and bad. Praise Him for it ALL!!!
Tomorrow I am reading Romans 9-10.

Night!
Life..and Penguins!
So today was a very interesting day. I woke up 30 minutes later than I had planned to. I was going to go see my mom at the hospital for a few minutes before I left for school, but it didn't work out because I woke up at 630 instead of 600. The night before I literally got about 2 hours of sleep because I kept having a nightmare type hallucinaiton.. not a dream. I was awake. Sorta. Hard to explain. It was like I was paralyzed and something around me was making noises. Trying tol get to me. Telling me things I NEVER do. I literally take all my strength to get out of that and it happened SEVERAL more times. So the 2 hours I did get wasn't 2 solid hours. it was 2 hours in 15 minutes incraments.. it sucked. But I got to Lufkin just fine.
Class started at 8 and it was pretty interesting. Psychology is always fun. I got a 104 on my first exam. :D And here I told Naramore I thought I got an 87 haha!
After that class I took a quick 5 minute nap. Then Andres and Luis came bangin on my door and woke me up so quick that I got mad and jumped out of my car without thinking...and about 2 minutesafter we started talking I realized I had locked my keys in it...
I walked to tthe student center, asked if someone had a slim jim, and lo and behold the parking lot monitor guy did!!! And even later I saw him openning someone ELSES car. He gets 100 extra dollars on his check everytime he has to do it lol
Then I read my Bible, went to my next class...got out about 35 minutes early so I went to my car and took a 30 minute nap that felt like 5 hours!! So amazing! Went to my next class and the instructor was sick so we just dropped off our assignments and left. I went back to Nac for a few hours. It was 115 and my next class was at 6. I visited my mom and fell asleep for aout 30 minutes...and I've been goin ever since.
Class was boring as always for life span development. I got an 80 on that exam... yikes!! That's horrible. Took notes.. went back to Nac and by 745 PM I was at Mcy Ds (mc donald's) with 2 of my best girlfriends playin with penguin toys!! (madagascar) Then we went to church as always on Wednesday. We are doing this S.L.O.W. thing for prayer. Set your alarm for 1PM every day and pray when it goes off. The letters all stand for something different to pray for.
My blog for Bible study is up next!!

Day 27/365 Bible in a Year
Today during my quiet time I read Isaiah 18-22. I will only cover one verse from each chapter though. SOO much information!!
Chapter 18
Verse 4..beautiful. That's all I can say.
God is watching us always, ever present, always loving. Even in the old testament He was watching out for His people. Pretty cool right? Think of this. Even in you worst nights, the ones where you cry yourself to sleep, think about this. God is right there next to you. Rubbing your shoulder. Hugging you. Knowing everything that's going on because you don't even have to verbally tell Him. HE ALREADY KNOWS! It gets even better after you've had that relationship for a while.
Chapter 19
Verse 20..wonderful. Jesus died for us. God's own creation turned against Him and we were all damned. But God loved us SOOOOO much that He gave His onyl Son to die for our sins, though He was sinless. This verse, to me, is a prophetic promise that Jesus is coming. He wasn't even born yet, and they called Him the Savior. AHH!! Exciting? Even more exciting is that He's coming here to take us home one day!
Chapter 20
Verse 6 sticks out to me amongst the nakedness of the people. God wants everyone to count on Him for their needs, He created us, He provides for us. But Philistines depended on the Egyptians...but when one thing went wrong it was all gone. With God, He is ALWAYS there. Even when things seem to go all wrong.
Chapter 21
Verse 16..WOW! God knows everything before it happens. He know the very words coming out of your mouth even a YEAR before you speak them. Ever since the dawn of creation He has known. In the case with Kedar, He knew that within a year all their glory would be gone. ZIP.. ZERO...there wouild be NONE left. It insane to think that you can get away with things when God sees it all. EVERYTHING! Every thought, every word, every action....everthing you wanted to do so badly, but didn't. He knew the outcome of either decision you made. EVERYTHING that is done is governed by God. He gives us free will to choose. But after we choose he directs the rest of our paths. The choice is laid, left or right? He has a plan for either. You choose one, one thing happens. The other, another. PRAY about everything!
Chapter 22
Verse 16, yikes! God doesn't like it when we put ourselves in His place. High up on the mighty mountain of life. GOD is the ruler. Jesus is the KING! He belongs on top of things. NOT us. So be humble to the Lord Your God.
Amen.

Day 26/365 Bible in a Year
Today I read Job 7-8. And yet again, Job is stll down in the dumps because all of his sons and daughters and what not have been taken by Satan to test him.
Chapter 7
Everyone's life just draws on...for everyone!!! It is always a struggle. God is there so take Him as He is. Trust me, He will take your side and make you righteous in a new life. Job, in all his struggle, doesn't curse God. He doesn't down Him, he doesn't swear at Him...NOTHING! He cries out to Him. He tells God himself things He already know. He knows EVERYTHING, yet Job tells Him about how He examines everyone every moment of every day.
Chapter 8
Job's friend Bildadis here to reassure Job that "God will once again fill Job's mouth with laughter and his lips with shouts of joy" (Job 8:21)
Amen.
Job is surely a soldier. He makes me happy and positive about all the outcomes of this life.

Day 25/365 Bible in a Year
Today I read Psalms 9-11. I love Psalms.. they relax me. I really have no clue why. God please bless this reading and these writings for others to see. Thank you. Amen.
Psalm 9
Don't you know that God ALWAYS hears our cries? Our cries of discouragement, our cries from torment, our cried for help? Praise Him and His Holy name! God judges fairly. He protects us from the wicked in this world. He helps us deal with it when we must. God is a Wonder... He will reign forever. Here's a verse that sticks out to me,
Psalm 9:9-10
"The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know Your name trust You, for You, Oh Lord, do not abandon those who search for you."
He will always be there for us.
He always has.
He will judge the nations one day and we will ALL be judged for our lives.
Psalm 10
This is why the wicked succeed... they have completely ABANDONED God. Satan gives them what they want and when they want it...and usually how much of it they want. God sees that and He hears the cries of the helpless who are hurt by the wicked and He will jusge the wicked when His day comes. (And it is coming sooner than we all think)
Psalm 11
My study Bible actually uses these words to describe this chapter, "Because we can trust Him, we can face our problems." Beautiful right? This one I want you all to read for yourself. It is amazing. Trust in the Lord with everything you have. Even when facing danger of persecution. You know it's coming guys.. Some of it is already here. A lot of it in other countries. Here in America we take religious freedom for granted. People here can just SAY that they are Christian..but in certain other countries it can be the very phrase that get's you killed in a heart beat... Even when persecution is on the threshold of your doorstep... stand fast. Be ready and stand fast. You believe what you believe. Noone cant ake that away from you.
Guys, I really hope these words helped you today. You should really be reading along yourself, just in case I get something wrong or am accidently reading the wrong passage. It's great to be independent in your faith as well as join up in groups. Prayer requests? Comment below or emial me at livin4christ0129@yahoo.com!

Day 24/365 Bible in a Year
Today I read Joshua 16-20.
Again as in last week in Joshua, God was seperating the promised land up to the tribes of Israel. Not much really. It just tells us where the borders are, who stays there, and where the cities of refuge are. A city of refuge is a city where one of anyone from the tribes could run to and stay until the priest there died, then they could go back to their home town if they liked, but they could only run here IF they accidentally killed someone or unintentionally.
I am reading tomorrow's also. So read my next blog!!
