i've just realized that my blog is BORING!!! ;P
.... and this is how i feel about it ....

Proverbs 24:11

11 Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
12 If you say, "But we knew nothing about this,"
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?

Not sure what Solomon refers to here, but it definitely made me think about our motivation for sharing the Gospel.

I used to think i share the Gospel because i want my friends and family to live this full and joyful life that God promises. Saving people from death, however, was not the determining factor moving my actions...

very INTERESTING how God puts it!

Some Reflection Thoughts on

Luke 19:11-27

Parable about the Master and servants, who were told to make a profit of money given to them.

1) Money = our debt to God

Obviously, Master is God and servants are us. In the parable the Master owns the money he lends.

2) Money that Master gave to servants = our bodies.

In my Bible next to the verse 12 it’s written – Romans 12:1. I’m not sure how it got there. My best guess would be that it was somebody’s preaching from the churches at home. Although I’m not sure how to interpret this parable up until the end, passage from Romans makes it at least a little more clear.

3) God expects us to USE what He gave us.

In the parable, the Master tells His servants to turn money over for bigger profit. Notice: He does not say how much. All He says is “go and produce more”.

4) God expects us to USE what He gave us for HIS glory.

Master does not say for servants to keep the money to themselves even thought they were the ones who earned it.

5) By disobeying, we acquire Master’s wrath.

In the parable His “enemies” are bitten up in front of Him.

6) By obeying, we will be rewarded according to how well we did our job.

His faithful servants were put in the higher position of leadership in His kingdom.

Application: Use our lives for Him.

hm... that might be a little tricky... hehe

Exams...

All day yesterday and this morning i was preparing for my first US exam... i actually have to go take it in about 40 minutes... the worst part is that tomorrow i have another exam and 2 more assignments, so sounds like i won't really have a "relax" party tonight... though i hope Friday will be at least a little less stressful.

Yesterday, while i was so busy, Harrison went to the grocery store and got me a whole pile of my favorite canned fish. Very very awesome, i should say... Seeing my already happiest face didn't stop him. This morning i woke up with the smell of the freshly brewed coffee. Not only he made me iced coffee, but he also brought me breakfast in bed!

Still don't understand, why did God bless me so much? How can i ever feel bad when the most amazing man is next to me showing me his love pretty much every second?!

wow! i've made it!

interestingly enough, i have succeeded to create my own blog with my own hands -- well, of course the computer helped too a little :) anyway...

congratulations! now i've officially joined the club of crazy bloggers!
