a conversation with God. part 2
while talking with nick, we both shared that we didn't know what exactly God was doing in our lives.
Me: i was going to be an intern for a landscape architecture firm and work full time, learn a computer program and get paid 12 buck an hour starting.
but God said no, being worried about what i wanted and taking control of the situation wasn't and still isn't the greatest idea.
GOD: Jon, the work i'm going to do through you with this job is greater than the work of all your landscape architecture designs put together throughout your whole life time.
what a blessing it is to know how good God is. and that God is absolutely AMAZING

a conversation with God. part 1
{this happens alot}
GOD: Jon i'm going to put a desire to completely rely on me in everything that i have given you, into your heart.
Me: cool God.
i found myself as i am in ministry, that not only is satan attacking my from all sides, but that God is asking me to give up everything i own and be completely reliant on him.
this has happened before, and it was hard to get through.
GOD: Jon, now is the time you start to pray.
Me: alright God, you have put this desire on my heart, and i know that this new stretch is going to hurt.........God take chunks out of my heart, chisel away at my heart and make me into the man you want me to be. take away my control of money and of anything else that gets in the way of you. this is going to suck, and this is going to be hard.
GOD: now hold on Jon, there is something i have to tell you.
Me: ok what is it?
GOD: listen to the song
Me: ok
i found my self singing:
you give and take away,
you give and take away,
my heart will choose to say lord blessed be your name.
as a smile shines across my face with my hands lifted to the sky.
GOD: there is no greater calling then to ultimately give everything to me and trust that i will take care of you, and trust me i will take care of you. I Said and Paul wrote "everything you own on earth is considered lost compared to what you will have in christ jesus.
Me: i get it. praise the Lord
while this was going on God was working on my friend Nick, Nick was asking about me and how i was doing. God said go find out, he is rock harbor tonight you will see him there. NIck doesn't go to rock harbor, so after thinking about it, with is truck being the gass hog is, he said ok. again let me tell you Nick does not go to rock harbor.
NIck shows up ten minutes before church gets out, after church gets out. he goes up on stage and looks for me, after saying hi to a couple of people we catch each others attention.
He begins to tell me everything that is going on in his life and how God put me on his heart, and has been wondering how i was doing and what i was doing for the past couple of days.
I got the privalege to pray for him and his huge hardship that he is going through right now, and completely get to feel God work in that prayer right away.
p.s the story is much better told in real life.

The HEART
Physical:
Can the heart be a pure thing?
Can the heart be a bad thing?
Thought:
Lets say your living in sin,
would you change the way you did things?
or
would you change your heart?
Can a change truly occur if your heart is not ready to change?
Going day by day and hearing stories of friends, i start saying change the heart to a God centered life, its not hard. you can't live life if you haven't given or changed your life to the life creator.
as i say all of that, i'm in a constant battle continuing to change my heart to a God centered life everyday.
no matter how your treated, whether you are ignored, mistreated, yelled at, laughed at, etc. know that God wants to be there to hold you.
change your heart to a heart that glorify's God.
If you do.....
You will start seeing things about you that you didn't know about yourself, other peoples personalities, and Gods will.
