My Christian Walks

P!ink: Perfect  In the song perfect P!nk is singing about the troubles we go through with self worth. How we put ourself down by the things we do and say to or about ourself.  In the chorus however she sings about how to some people we are perfect.  This is so true. We tell ourself that we don't fit into the worlds mould and that makes us bad. But even if we don't think it we are perfect to God. God made us the way we are now. He made us who we are. We are a perfect image of God. Because we continue to believe in the fact that we are like God we will be bullied and put down. It's statins way of having his say. He will do anything to stop us believing in ourselves.  In the bridge pink sings about how we try so hard to fit the perfect model of humanity but not God. She also sings about the fact that we try to find people who will judge. She wonders why we look for those who will attack us and put us down. We as humans look for recognition for ...

This may sound like a "Spiritual side of music" but its not. Just wanting to clear that up. With the end of the year sneaking up on us we all need to make decisions. What to do after school, should I get a job. You might even question the reason you are on earth. Be an intern or a nanny. We all have a reason why we are on earth. We just might not know what it is yet. Many people give up and look at the ground when they have problems finding their reason to be on earth. They even give up on it. Even though we feel as if we dont have enough energy to look look around us, that what we need to do. We need to look around and see what opportunities are around us. Looking around for an opportunity is the easy part. Its opening the door thats the hard part. We may stand at that door for days on end. Not even bothering to knock. As we do this we continue to look around and have second thoughts about our decision to stand on that door step. There however is someone standing...

When Guy Sebastian sings These battle scars, don't look like they're fading Don't look like they're ever going away They ain't never gonna change He is singing about a relationship gone wrong. That the effects of the relationship wont go away. These same lyrics can be taken in a christian aspect to.  When God puts us through times of struggle and hardship he is doing it to change us, to make us who he want's us to be. The outcomes of these battles with ourselves, our friends and our family are our "Battle Scars." They should have a lasting effect on us, make us who we are today by not fading and never going away.  One God has made us who he want's us to be he wont change us. He wont let the evidence of a hard fought relationship with him go away.  Battle Scars

I'm sure most of you have cell phones. You know its that small piece of plastic that you have in your hands and don't let anyone else see. What do you use your phone for, texting your BF, checking twitter or Facebook or good old fashion calls. We use our phones to communicate with the people we care about. We communicate so well with friends but what about God. Is he your number 1 on speed dial. The other half of your bestmate plan. AAAGod in your contacts. I'm gonna have a guess and say no. In times of trouble and times of praise God should be the one you go to. It doesn't cost you credit or texts. He is your 0800 number in the sky. If you don't know how to pray or who to pray to, Jesus gave us a good example in Matthew 6: 9-13 9  Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgi...

With the opening of the new Ranch buildings I've been thinking. What is Sonshine Ranch to me?? I started going to Sonshine Ranch 3 years ago but didn't get really involved till mid 2011. I guess that I loved the surrounding but it had no real spiritual meaning. More recently however it has become a major part of who I am. I have said many times that "if it wasn't for Sonshine Ranch I dont know where I would be." That is so true. Its a place where I can feel at home. Its a place where no matter what I have been through I can go there and be accepted. As some of you know I dont really get along with the people at my school very much. So going out to The Ranch every Friday is like an R and R session for me. It gives me time to relax and think about everything and anything. I guess what helps me is riding, it makes me feel so free. Knowing that I can go anywhere and do anything on horse back makes me smile. Ranch camps are some of the best times of my year. It ...

The story behind this post. We all find inspiration do do something. I tend to find my inspirations in music. A lot of my posts have Youtube clips to the music that inspires me to write. This is inspired by Hannah Montana. I know right, what is a 14 year old Guy doing listening to Hannah Montana. Her music has some good meanings both in this world and if though about religious. We all take on hard times, times that will push us to our max, to our breaking point. We cant go through these ourselves. We need a safe place, a place of refuge. A place no matter what we have done and how much we have changed will accept us. For me its Sonshine Ranch. I all ways feel safe, secure when i'm there. Surrounded by people who love me for who I am.  Your safe place might not be physical. It could be a mental place. I feel safe when I block out the world with music. It could be a person. I have a select few people who I can go to and talk to.  The important...

How public are you? Will you speak up when something is wrong, strange, bad. How about public speaking. What about sharing our faith with non Christians. That can be one of the hardest thing we can do. It may be because we dont want to be judged or mocked. It could destroy your reputation.  Its a comine sight at school to hear people saying that God has been a big influence in their life's. But its not often that I see the same person acting like God has impacted them. It could be that they are scared of the possibilites or they just want to fit in. 32  “Whoever acknowledges me before others,  I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.   33  But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.  This verse can be  scary  for some but not being accepted by others is worse to some than not being acknowledged by God.
