Oh happy day

Hey guys, sorry I got behind on my posts, busy life I tell you. Today is Mothers day, so I hope you all gave your special mommys a big hug, kiss and a cup of coffee. As many thoughts have been rushing through my head, I have selected a few to post about, here we go!

Numero Uno, "Honor thy father and thy mother." Yeah, thats right, Jesus said that. But thats crazy, because in many cases, we as kids are taught that we have free will and that we can do what we want, but in reality, our parents were put in place by GOD! Dude, did you ever think "man, my parents suck"? I know I have, but really, it's crazy to think that God put them there and he knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he did. I mean, I am very hypocritical because I like to do what I want, but I just reminded that we as kids and Christians, need to follow that commandment that God put in place.

Another thought, as I was in church today, my youth pastor (ex youth pastor) was doing the study. He started in Psalms, and we just started reading through a few that he picked. One thing that he said to me that stuck out was "you see what you see with your eyes because God lets you." I was like... duuuuude... thats crazy, God gives us EVERY breath we take..... and he is the one who keeps us going, not us and our own will.... I found that to hit real hard... just the fact that the things we see and the air we breathe is a gift from God... wow man.

So as we are reading Psalms, I happened to notice that they are almost ALL written by David. And I really think that he is one of the few who really grasped what it means to give thanks and praise God in every aspect of life. In his Psalms that he wrote, he says nothing of his power, but only speaks of what God has done for him and everyone else, he comes before God boldly and with a purpose... I really do view him as an individual to strive to be like. Then I realize all my own faults... but that should not stop me... you know?

I guess I begin to ramble after a while... but my thoughts are really do give your parents the honor and respect they deserve... God put them there for a reason, and also, we could always use a little humbling and putting God first...

Have a good night guys!
