Our Father Who Art In Heaven.
Yes?
Don't interrupt me. I'm praying.
But -- you called ME!
Called you?
No, I didn't call you.
I'm praying.
Our Father who art in Heaven.
There -- you did it again!
Did what?
Called ME.
You said,
'Our Father who art in Heaven'
Well, here I am.
What's on your mind?
But I didn't mean anything by it.
I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day.
I always say the Lord's Prayer.
It makes me feel good,
kind of like fulfilling a duty.
Well, all right.
Go on.
Okay, Hallowed be thy name .
Hold it right there.
What do you mean by that?
By what?
By 'Hallowed be thy name'?
It means, it means . . good grief,
I don't know what it means.
How in the world should I know?
It's just a part of the prayer.
By the way, what does it mean?
It means honoured, holy, wonderful.
Hey, that makes sense.
I never thought about what 'hallowed' meant before.
Thanks.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Do you really mean that?
Sure, why not?
What are you doing about it?
Doing? Why, nothing, I guess.
I just think it would be kind of neat if you got control,
of everything down here like you have up there.
We're kinda in a mess down here you know.
Yes, I know;
but, have I got control of you?
Well, I go to church.
That isn't what I asked you..
What about your bad temper?
You've really got a problem there, you know.
And then there's the way you spend your money --
all on yourself.
And what about the kind of books you read?
Now hold on just a minute!
Stop picking on me!
I'm just as good as some of the rest of those people at church!
Excuse ME.
I thought you were praying
for my will to be done.
If that is to happen,
it will have to start with the ones
who are praying for it.
Like you -- for example.
Oh, all right. I guess I do have some hang-ups.
Now that you mention it,
I could probably name some others.
So could I.
I haven't thought about it very much until now,
but I really would like to cut out some of those things.
I would like to, you know, be really free.
Good.
Now we're getting somewhere.We'll work together -- You and ME.
I'm proud of You.
Look, Lord, if you don't mind,
I need to finish up here.
This is taking a lot longer than it usually does.
Give us this day, our daily bread.
You need to cut out the bread.
You're overweight as it is.
Hey, wait a minute! What is this?
Here I was doing my religious duty,
and all of a sudden you break in
and remind me of all my hang-ups.
Praying is a dangerous thing.
You just might get what you ask for.
Remember,
you called ME -- and here I am.
It's too late to stop now.
Keep praying. ( . . pause . . )
Well, go on.
I'm scared to.
Scared? Of what?
I know what you'll say.
Try ME.
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.
What about Ann?
See? I knew it!
I knew you would bring her up!
Why, Lord, she's told lies about me, spread stories.
She never paid back the money she owes me.
I've sworn to get even with her!
But -- your prayer --
What about your prayer?
I didn't -- mean it.
Well, at least you're honest.
But, it's quite a load carrying around all that bitterness
and resentment isn't it?
Yes, but I'll feel better as soon as I get even with her.
Boy, have I got some plans for her.
She'll wish she had never been born.
No, you won't feel any better.
You'll feel worse.
Revenge isn't sweet.
You know how unhappy you are --
Well, I can change that.
You can? How?
Forgive Ann.
Then, I'll forgive you;
And the hate and the sin,
will be Ann's problem -- not yours.
You will have settled the problem
as far as you are concerned.
Oh, you know, you're right.
You always are.
And more than I want revenge,
I want to be right with You . . (sigh).
All right .. all right . .
I forgive her.
There now!
Wonderful!
How do you feel?
Hmmmm. Well, not bad.
Not bad at all!
In fact, I feel pretty great!
You know, I don't think I'll go to bed uptight tonight.
I haven't been getting much rest, you know.
Yeah, I know.
But, you're not through with your prayer are you? Go on.
Oh, all right.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Good! Good! I'll do that.
Just don't put yourself in a place
where you can be tempted.
What do you mean by that?
You know what I mean.
Yeah. I know.
Okay.
Go ahead. Finish your prayer.
For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory forever.
Amen.
Do you know what would bring me glory --
What would really make me happy?
No, but I'd like to know.
I want to please you now.
I've really made a mess of things.
I want to truly follow you.
I can see now how great that would be.
So, tell me . . .
How do I make you happy?
YOU just did.

holding my heart in my hands.

words unspoken. silence.

it's safe. it feels okay, but not great.

but, He does not want this from you. if you don't speak, you arent doing what you were called to do.

are you going to speak, or be the silence that stirs in the wind?

ladadada. dadada

i am failing at keeping up with this. sorry!

mmm, lately i have been surrounding myself with music. i have been noticing all of the different ways i can improve, all the ways i can move forward. i really feel as though Jesus wants me to do something with my music. i am so very excitied to see what he does with me.

as i have been listenning to tunes at any given moment lately, i am finding that by it, instead of tuning out of the world(which normally happens when you plug in your headphones) i am actually tuning into the world. hear me out. i am not falling into the worldiness, but i am tuning into all that surrounds me. i am normally very non-observant and i lack seeing things, physically and spiritually.

i know this is very choppy, but this is how i feel like writing today :)

i really want to update you on temptations and me...well, a little while ago i was about to let go of all my ambition to resist sin. i was going to endulge in something i would have beat myself up for for a very long time. as i was about to fall so hard, so fast, Jesus suddenly stopped me. he spoke some very beautiful words into my mind, "it is finished". AHH, since that moment, i have not even been tempted! i know eventually i will be tempted, but gosh! how amazing is our Lord and Saviour.

alright, so music and temptation and Jesus. you got all that, right? good, because im changing subjects again ;)

i have recently acquired a job a tim hortons. let me tell you, it stinks(literally). but, i have decided something for myself. instead of hating my job etc etc, i am challenging myself to find joy in things i wouldnt normally find joy in. good idea? i would like to think so, lovelies!

well, okay, i am not going to change topics again. nope, i am headin' out!
over and out.
10/4 lil' buddy!

many blessings you wonderful people whom read this!
:)

are you dead?

we can never have too much to say. coincidently, the words we so often speak of are clearly inane and of no great value. we speak of gossip, of hurt and pain, with intentions to cause nothing but evil in other peoples lives. this is all appropriatley suitable for our world, because all of this is what satan wants, but still Christians are caught saying these things.

there are some people at my school who are really lovely and are fun to be around. unfortunatley, they say they have God in there hearts all the time, but only show it on youth group night, which is on a friday. it just crushes me to see them yell at eachother and get caught up in pointless drama that is only going to tear them further away from the LORD instead of bring them closer to eachother and God. it is just so very odd, but then as i continue to witness this, i am realizing that infact most Christians act like this. they go around letting everyone know that they believe in Christ, but they do not act out there faith unless in a large congregation of believers. we are doing exactly what the bible says not to do. we are hiding our light under a bowl; a bowl stuffed full of the world.

this is just something that makes me want to scream because people are so apathetic towards this issue. they simply do not care whether they are like Christ or not, but they still consider themselves alive in the spirit. they are dead.

but hears the turn around. in the gospel, it speaks of how Christ in the physical raised a dead man back to life. he also healed a sick girl(who was infact on her death bed basically). and Christ is still alive and can do this! what i am saying is that the people in the gospels had faith--and they were raised back to life. Christ can do this for all of those people who are dead in the spirit. he can raise them back again. how though? if they are apathetic towards this idea, then why should God do anything? well, God cannot shove his love into them, so those who are alive need to PRAY. yay, the magic word--PRAYER!

okay, so, my challenge is for all those who are alive in the spirit, we need to pray for those who are dead!

many blessings.
