Cutting down

Mark9:43,45

43If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. 45And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

You know some times I wondered if Jesus meant it literally or not =/... but this is how I interpret it... sacrifice, to sacrifice something you love doing, but you know that it is against everything God stands for.. So this is the stage where I need to cut it out.... this thing out rather than go to hell with it... Not that I am gonna go to hell... but hey since theres a risk do it aye? so what if I fail... hmm that is a very hard thing to say... God's gracious.. and I'll stay in His grace, as I need to... I read yesterday about sin that leads to eternal death.. dunno about that either yet.. it says if we come to God and ask from him and he hears it and accepts it, then we know God will answer our prayers.. so.. that was the verse before...

so... all this gets pretty into depth esp when I read Corinthians.. it all seems real heavy warnings against me...
God is gracious still... and patient... just as Love is slow to anger.. so is God... I know He knows my heart.. some how, don't ask me how!

Alright... thats all form me God bless!

How....?

some times.. I wonder if it is possible for any of us to over rule the blood of Jesus and over sin... but some how it's impossible... and I find it incredible how God is able to make such a decision to send His son, to die for us... even when he knows we are so evil...

But then.. could some one who continues disobeying God be a leader?... or even a teacher... still love God? can God be in them....? But what if this leader loved God.. and knew he had no more salvation, but because he knows God wants people in his kingdom... he goes out n brings them in... is that possible? aihs.. I dunno..

hwo can darkness and light dwell in the same place.. one must leave for the other to take its place.. but can one come back? hmm guess it could.. since is like the sun.. when it sets the darkness takes over when it rises the light comes.. oh well thats all I am pondering baout at the mo

The verdict is...

Well SAP wins the court case... Ha ha, man though I feel that my passion is in the animation grounds, is not the will of God, though if I did choose animation course I know God's not gonna abandon me and say YOU DID NOT CHOOSE THE WAY I SAID TO GO NOW I WILL LEAVE YOU! nahh this isn't the God I know, but some how in my gut feeling I knew God had already told me to go to SAP. So what am I gonna do, go into SAP tmr.. meeting up with a guy who is enabling this course to happen, is on sat n sundays! oh wow.. no more sunday service for me, but youth I can still make it so dun worry guys :P(or at least I hope I can hahaha) is a 8 week course if I am not mistaken, but ever bit should be worth it at the end... as for my animation dreams, they'll have to wait, I'm sure one day God shall open a path for me to go into such a field, but till then, stay put and continue drawing as a leisure lei sure? yeap Lol... I might go into part time course in animation just to see how it goes, but I heard assignments are taxxing.. and not sure if I will be able to handle, but hey, why not be the jack of all trades.. Wahahha.. ok the jack of all trades is a bad thing :P nvm, will see if my prophecy from Pastor vernon will come about... like how I become mega good at something.. train some one to be as good as me, then move on! hey sounds gd, the company gets some one as good as me, I make sure the company survives, then move on wahhaha.. will see :) !

As for my passion, at the mo I have an amazing story I want to make up, it's from the previous story that I have written about the unity thing.. but thats the end fight scene, is gonna be a mix in... good and evil, 2 sides to the story with the same ending, and beginning ... had some views on it, people think is k(by people I mean 2 Hahaha) 1 has heard the whole thing coz he cant see it, coz he is in Aussie! (Mat that's you if your reading..). pure action packed, would be fun to see this in animation maybe one day Plex can do it Whahaa ah well! having trouble with 2 characters, basically.. a naked person,(female, how to conceal n all [btw mat gave a great tip in covering with scenery] will see when I start drawing) another is the creator =/ toughest one =/=/....

story isn't completely completed, still some bits I am thinking of adding.. right now it';s in black& white... any one who wants to know more about it, msg me aite? if you can meet up with me I'll show you the story board, then u can chuck in your bits of ideas... then with all your ideas pumped in(gonna let u see basics not ppl's ideas, so I can combine together and you wont know what the final product looks like till later :P

Stuck in a mix

ah yes.. I'm kinda stuck in decision making.. that will change the rest of my life.. sorta sounds serious doesn't it? well it is kinda... I'm stuck htinking should I go into SAP which I supposingly thought God wanted me to get into, or follow a passion, which God also has spoken on before... I have always had an interest in animation 3d modelling and 2d animation... since, my com science degree... coz we touched abit on animation... and I feel like I have much interesst in it... then again I thought to myself whatrs all the com science 3 years put in for then? ... sigh I'm wondering.. coz I dont really even have a passion for programming.. reason why I did augmented reality for my project. coz it was animation based.... but now look... I'm back on programming and not liking one bit of it... I dont mind programming or scripting to be more precise on director, didnt learn flash so wouldn't know... so if animation has scripting I'm all ups for it... so the decision boils down to... go SAP get a job I might not even like working in... OR go for the course I am passionate about and get a job that I know I will enjoy...

I asked around people say follow passion, some experienced choosing the job they dont like and regretted it, another said ask God, but whichever path you choose at the end God's with me... which is encouraging.... Multimedia(which I thought was animation as well) was actually mroe onto things liek editing videos n all, which isn't really my type of thing! hank God for friends who are in different feilds! and found out the one I liked was actually animation! so my friend william, who used to study animation before havign to join the NS said it was FUN, well to him. which I think I might enjoy too.. but he said best to go research(byu that he means ask colleges) he suggested one academy since thats the one he was in before. Which I will go n do soon I think, and then Alex said SAE is a good one, I read thier diploma->degree seems quite good, nto read thourghly yet tho... will do tommorrow... I was htinkign oh no SAP is gonna be at 4th July, but people said, it can wait, make ur decision first.. which I can see is very important at this time, coz SAP courses will re appear... this isn't a life threatening decision, but it is a life changing one...

oh Lord.. help me n guide me to the right direction...
God bless ya all

The power of one

As the raiders rushed through the forest, leaving destruction in thier paths, a village lay ahead... people panicked and rushed about as they heard that a group of bandit raiders were heading their way, they had no idea where to head and had zero security, every mintue was like a count down to death. As the raiders approached the town, they saw the chaos it was in and sat and watched in amusement. hours later the whole town was in a wreck and people had fled away... the raiders simply walked in and took everything that they saw fit.

Later at night the raiders planned another ambush.. on a smaller town named, Solorial... This town was famous for the amount of raw materials they had... the raiders discussed amoungst themseleves how they may come about in stealing what they want.

"Let's run head in like we always do!" Shouted one of the raiders

"No don't be foolish, this town is bound to be secured with many gaurds we need to sneak through." the cheiften said.

they all agreed on sending a scout into the town, the scout came back with reports that no gaurds were in place that very day... as they plotted thier attack, the raiders decided to send a small group to terrorise the city at noon.

Noon arrived and the raiders arrived swinging thier maces in the air and screaming, fear struck the townsfolk and they fled into the townshall, all scared they bundled up together and asked the counsellor what they should do.

"ok everyone let's relax... I'm sure we can sort this out some how... why do these raiders want to come to our town?" said the counsellor.

"STUPID QUESTION, they want our gold and raw materials of course!" a peasent shouted.

"Let's try to remember what we have always said to one another, stand united, stand together... show kindess to terror and terror shall flee! come with me all of you, do not let fear control your hearts! each one of your grab a buckler and a wooden stick, we will go out and stand united as one!"

meanwhile the raiders laughted as they thought thier plan worked, then the rest of the raiders rushed in to celebrate and take the booty. but just as they were about to celebrate. they heard war drums playing and a huge army of people rising against them... the raiders shouted and screamed

"WE SHALL NOT FEAR YOU FOOLS! WE SHALL DEVOUR YOU ALL!"

but the words had no effect on this army marching towards them, as the army approached the raiders started to get scared, readying for battle they drew out thier maces.... but as they got a clearer image of the army, they realised it was just the townsfolk, and laughed.

"You dare come against us? the imfamous Raiders of the wind? ha!?! you must be crazy!"

with straight faces the townsfolk marched infront of them,

"Flee now or prepare for battle, we shall not flee in the sight of such lions prowling... we fear you not and stand united... "The cheiften of the raiders stood up and said

"who is your leader! come and battle with me!" the counsellor stood up and said "Here I am!"

As the cheiften readied his weapon the counsellor stood completely still with a stick in his hands, the cheiften began the first strike, swinging his mace in the direction of the counsellor but the counsellor refused to move and just as the mace was about to hit him, he blocked it with the flimpsy stick he had. The cheiften was amazed at how such a flimpsy stick could withstand such a hit, again the cheiften swang his mace with full agression and again the mace was blocked by that one flimpsy stick... the battle carried out and the cheiften ran out of breath flat out on the floor... the counsellor walked towards him with the stick pointing towards his head.

"Noo don't kill me" Cried the cheiften.

"Who says I was going to kill you?" replied the counsellor.

"That stick it is enchanted, witch craft,... !!!!" shouted the cheiften as he tried to regather his strength.

"No it isn't, it's simply a stick... but with all of us standign here united even this stick can overcome you! it has the strength of hunderds of sticks" as the counsellour said this he grabbed the cheiftens hand and put him back up on his feet.

"I shall not kill you, but I shall forgive you, come wiht me and join me as I show you how a rightoues nation shall prosper. There is no need for killing nor for stealing, step into this path and I shall show you the wonders of this lighted path."

"I shall" replied the cheiften

"AND WHO SHALL JOIN ME!!!" shouted the cheiften in enthusiasm.

2/3 of his followers dropped thier weapons and joined, the other 1/3 replied by calling the cheiften weak and feable, but in fear ran for thier life.

Your probally wondering.. Him Chris you usually write stories related ot Christ, but amazingly enough this is about Christ... How as our old nature we used to rush into the base of the Lord and think we can simply attack Him, not realising even wiht a puny stick He could defeat us all.

Proverbs 21:31The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD.

Another part is standing united... As Christains we are all the church, each of us a building block and a part of the body of Christ, all of us are bound together, even though we have seperate giftings, we are still one together in the body of Christ.

Romans 12:4-5 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

last part is about a sinner accepting Christ wanting to take the rightoues path, in the way they saw the power of Christ come alive! and how some do not believe and reject, some flee coz they fear that thier weaknesses shall be shown, though clearly they don't need to coz simply we are weak.

Romans 5:17 One man sinned so death ruled all people because of one man. But now those people who accepts God's full grace of being made right with Him will surely have true life and rule through one man, Jesus Christ

1 Corinthians 15:57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thats all folks! Jesus loves ya all the way, when your in the worste oif situation call out to Him! EVEN IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN HIM! JEsus still loves you :)

-God bless,

Chris
