Pencil HIM in.
I've noticed and had a conviction of the heart lately, that I have not been spending much time with God. I have had A LOT of free time due to my lack of employment sort-of-speak and yet with all this free time, God has not been on my to-do list. God, I apologize for neglecting you, my relationship with you is the most important relationship I will ever have and my lack of commitment and diligence in this matter is both frightening and sad. I've been talking with you on a normal basis, but the sharpening of my knowledge from your word has been at most "unsatisfactory".
This verse above really hit me hard when I read it last night, and after realizing it from others speaking and giving messages around me, I understand that when we want/need something, i.e. a prayer request, miracle, healing. Whatever it is, we need to strengthen our relationship with God more than anything. Our want for something blinds us and puts us in a place where we are unable to see God for what he truly is, our goal.
Try this:
Take your hand as if you are holding something in it (an apple). Raise it up in front of your face so that it blocks a light on your ceiling. The object in your hand represents the thing you want. The light represents God. The whole motion represents how as people we put things so high in front of us that it blinds our view of God in all his glory. We make those "wants" idols, and focus more on them then we do anything else.
Do not waste your time with silly things, but be diligent in your search for the word of God. His love covers all sin, but it is our relationship with him that matters most.

Leave your complaints at the door/cross...
21 You can make many plans,but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.
Prov 19:21 (NLT)
Lev 26:9-13 (NLT)
14 Enoch, who lived in the seventh generation after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said, “Listen! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of his holy ones15 to execute judgment on the people of the world. He will convict every person of all the ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16 These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want
Jude 1:14-16 (NLT)
14 Do everything without complaining and arguing,15 so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.16 Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless.17 But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy.18 Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.
Phil 2:14-18 (NLT)
We look at life as if our worries and struggles are too big for God. How do we know he didn't set up a situation, so that we are able to learn from it? God's purpose will prevail no matter what. So next time, instead of complaining, I urge to rejoice in the fact that you have a God and savior that has laid out a plan that will prevail even through all of the troubles we go through. Do not be dismayed by life's little worries but know that God is always and will always be in control.
So let me ask some more questions
1. Who has a job in this horrible current economic status?
2. Who has a healthy family?
3. Who has a bed to sleep in, and a shower to clean up in every day?
4. Who has a savior that continues to love us, no matter what we do?
Jesus Loves you and so do I!

The not so mad scientist...

It will be known as...
Mark 6:45-52 (MontgomeryNT)
Now, I know what your thinking. Cameron, Jesus most likely didn't wear a mask, and he definitely didn't kill or assassinate anyone. He most likely didn't perform any acts of espionage or have a Ninja Sword for that matter, how can he possibly be a Ninja? Again, let me enlighten you.
There are MANY different types of Ninjas. There are Ninjas in everyday life. There are Ninjas in cars and Ninjas from afar, there are Ninjas at the beach and Ninjas that like to teach. There are Ninjas with long hair and Ninjas that don't play fair. Long rhyme short, they are everywhere.
So back to the original topic, Jesus = A Ninja. So ya, throw some sort of time frame in there and you have the title of my newly developed blog.
Thanks for reading,
Jesus loves you and so do I!
Peace Out,
Cam
