Day 2912: The Line Between Good and Evil

“The line between good and evil lies in the heart of every human being.” -Ian Howarth

It’s 2 : 07 PM on day 2912 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work

Today at church we were taught to examine our own hearts instead of always judging other people’s sins and I thought it was perfect sermon for today’s time because all of us are so quick to point out the speck in other people’s eyes while ignoring the planks in our own. The line between good and evil lies in the heart of every human being – so true!

Day 2875: Life-Changing Questions

Leave a reply

Questions are more important than answers- that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 11 : 34 AM on day 2875 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work

Recently I was reading Choose Joy by Kay Warren and in it was a question which read something like “if being Christian doesn’t make a difference in the way you react to situations what’s the point calling yourself a Christian?” and I thought wow, so true I think that question may have just changed my whole life.

Day 2862: Act Out Your Faith

It’s most important to follow the Bible’s teachings when it’s most difficult– that’s what I realized.

It’s 11 : 45 AM on day 2862 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and hang out with family

Yesterday I was having a rough day and I had a moment when I just decided to follow the Bible’s teachings in spite of my questions because most times faith is truly about actions more than feelings

Day 2602: Love – The Core of Christianity

“Maybe all of life is a school of love to prepare us for a life of eternal love.” – Reverend Ian Howarth

It’s 12: 41 PM on day 2602 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Romans 8:15, go to church and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet -raised $4 388 only $8 112 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks to everyone who has helped out so far)

Today at church it was basically said that love is the core of Christianity and that without a love of God and a love of others anything we do or say is meaningless and I have to say I agree with that wholeheartedly we were literally born out of love (the love of God and the love between our parents) and our duty in this life (and probably in the next) is to be the embodiment of that love.

Day 2490: Exercising my Religious Freedom

Leave a reply

Make use of all the freedoms you have – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 1 : 17 PM on day 2490 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Acts 4:19-20, and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised to $1 750 only $10 750 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot .

Today I chose to go to church knowing that many Christians in other countries don’t have the freedom to do so sometimes we forget how fortunate we are to have the freedoms we have and so we take them for granted.

Day 2448: Before All Else Start With Jesus

Leave a reply

We cannot be functional if we don’t first start at the feet of Jesus– that’s what I know.

It’s 11 : 39 AM on day 2448 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Proverbs 22: 6, go to church, have breakfast and learn a new word – Extemporaneous adj. 1. Unrehearsed. Done or said without advance preparation or thought; impromptu. 2. Prepared in advance but delivered without notes or text: “An extemporaneous speech.”

Today we want to church and listened to a sermon entitled “Only One Thing Is Needed” it was about how in order to make a meaningful contribution to the world we must first start at the feet of Jesus I could relate because every morning before I start my day I pray and then list out loud all the things I’m grateful for which takes me about eight minutes to do but it’s totally worth it after that I feel centred and prepared for anything that the day has in store for me.

Day 2358: The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here for? by Rick Warren

“Service is the pathway to real significance.” – Rick Warren

It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 2358 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read, and learn a new word – Apocryphal [a·poc·ry·phal] adj. Of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true. “Apocryphal stories dating from Hollywood’s golden age.”

Yesterday I finished reading The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here for? by Rick Warren it’s a Christian book but it also has valuable insights about certain aspects of life I would recommend it to Christians struggling to find direction in their lives (thanks Bithun for buying it for me).

Day 2224: God Is Not Just In Church

2 Replies

God is in you, in your actions and in your words not just in church – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 10 : 56 AM on day 2224 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Haggai 2:6-7, have breakfast, learn one new thing – Efficacious [ef·fi·ca·cious] adj. Successful in producing a desired or intended result; effective. “Efficacious treatment for the disease.”– and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign –raised $8 011.04 only $4 488.96 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

This morning I was thinking about my younger days when I had to go to church to feel like a Christian and to feel the presence of God which is in stark contrast to the way I feel today now I understand that God is in me, in my words and in my actions. God meets me wherever I am and accepts me just as I am.

Day 2078: Teaching Children the Right Ways in Life

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

– Proverbs 22: 6

It’s 12 : 42 PM on day 2078 of my journey towards independence and I managed to have breakfast, pray, read Proverbs 23: 14, learn one new thing – There are approximately 6,900 distinct languages in existence today, though there may be languages spoken in remote areas that we have yet to discover. No matter how many new languages we find, though, this number will be much lower in 100 years.– and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 774 only $476 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ).

This morning my brother stood in the middle of our sitting room with his back to me I watched him trying to figure out what he was doing after a while he made a cross in that moment I realized he was praying of his own accord before he left for school I was SO PROUD just goes to show if you tell kids to do something for long enough eventually they’ll do it of their own accord.
