April 23 verse 1 Thessalonians 5:13-14

Life in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

Through the eyes of our friends, we learn to see ourselves...through the love of our friends, we learn to love ourselves...through the caring of our friends, we learn what it means to be ourselves completely.

April 15 verse Hebrews 10:23-24

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

pca and times

school has been rough or hard. my teachers are not good, well i don't like them like my last semesters. i went to pca after school, it was amazing to see everyone again after a long time. i miss it so much, just being there was very nostalgic. i just wish i could go back. that warmth. that trust. that comfort. i played volleyball and talked with friends which made me feel good. these days have been really tiring because of badminton so in class i've been drowsy with heavy eyes from time to time. my french teacher called my mom for not really paying attention, but it was hard especially if everything was french it takes a lot of concentration. hopefully things get a bit more peaceful.

April 11 verse Galatians 6:9-10

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

sunday

today felt like a waste though it wasn't terrible. i'm planning on pulling an all nighter though i really don't want to but i probably have to cuz i have a lot of things i have to do and that i want to do. there is a lot of things i have to do in the next few following weeks. i've been procrastinating too much lately. i'll try to limit my video watching. today my mom, my grandpa, my aunt, and my cousin and i watched the movie Fireproof at church it was really good. i encourage you to all who read this to watch the movie. its really good. for badminton, my mom yelled at me for not telling her that i was illegible to play at the tournament because we bought a new racket for it. i really hate tss. why does someone from a private school have to go through this trouble of a transfer form and reason. my teacher supervisor didn't really make it clear enough of how urgent it was of the form, she didn't even tell me about the form and she really should have told me a lot earlier. in fact the school should have told newcomers or at the beginning of the school year. i shouldn't have to wait until a get into a sport.

Quote #5 Jill Wolf

Everyone was meant to share God's all-abiding love and care; He saw that we would nee to know a way to let these feelings show... So God made hugs.

Quote #3 George Webster Douglas

The best in me and the best in you
Hailed each other because they knew
That always and always since life began
Our being friends was part of God's plan

fights

whenever i hear loud voices or people yelling, i feel hurt. like i don't like quarrels, i don't like people calling me things that i don't like to be called that are not true or even true. my family fights a lot. there's not really a week where they don't yell, raise their voice, or fight. i hate it so much. my heart hurts just being in my room listening to them because they are too loud. one thing that i want to question them about is that "Do you even remember what happened on this weekend, do you even know the meaning of this weekend, what you are doing now is not celebrating rather forgetting and stomping on this weekend's true meaning of what it was, is, and is to come, who was and is and is to come?"

April 3 Verse 1 Peter 1:22

"Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart."

Fifty Reasons why Jesus Came to Die verses Reason #1

I have started to read the book "50 reasons why Jesus came to die" by John Piper. I won't write everything it says there, but just the verses and notes from it and I will do it per year every time Easter and Good Friday comes because probably none of you have the book, but it is a very good book if you are able to buy it, but this will help if you don't want to, but its a very good book.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree." Galatians 3:13

"God put Christ forward as a propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over former sins." Romans 3:25

"In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for ours sins." 1 John 4:10

- God is both just and loving, in which His love is willing to meet the demands of His justice

- sin is dishonouring God by preferring or loving other things over Him and acting on these preferences when we should love Him with all our heart, soul, and might (Deuteronomy 6:5)(Romans 3:23)

- the Creator is infinitely worthy of respect, admiration, and loyalty, but the failure to love is treason basically, which eliminates happiness and defames God. The result in doing this is because God is a just God. (Romans 6:23) (Ezekiel 18:4)

- there is a holy sin over sin, in which not to punish would be unjust. (Galatians 3:10) (Deuteronomy 27:26)

- God won't stop at this no matter how holy the curse is, He will go through with it, but still won't be content so He sends His Son. (Galatians 3:13)

- Propitiation is the removal of God's wrath by providing a substitute, in which this is Himself (Jesus Christ), but He doesn't just cancel the curse or punishment, but also absorbs and diverts it from us to Himself meaning His wrath was just and spent, not withdrawn

What a Life

its good friday. i'm just feeling hopeless or basically useless. i'm at home, but i want to be doing more, but i just can't because i just don't feel like leaving the house. at open mic i was nervous, it was worse than leading worship and i just didn't feel like i did a good job though people said i was great, but i sure didn't feel that way. my work is just lying around of which i need to start working on, which makes me stressed because i am lazy. life just has to change.

Quote #2 Douglas R. Stuva

Celebration is more than a happy feeling. Celebration is an experience. It is liking others, accepting others, laughing with others.
