I listened to the book of Ruth yesterday. My eyes filled with tears as I saw the sacrifice Ruth made. She left everything to follow Naomi’s God. Because she did this Naomi was blessed in her old age. My heart began to cry out to God, “use me to bless others.” Later that morning I encountered a Christian that I was concerned about. We were both in tears before the conversation ended because of the presence of God. God is incredible, for he can use me with all my shortcomings. Shortcoming like, insensitivity, ridgedness, quick to judge etc. I will glory in my weakness because then the greatness of God comes through.

hey, who are you? just curious b/c you commented on my site. xdavidx
You asked me my thoughts on Harry Potter, here they are um….I really dont think that they are bad because you have to know the difference between reality and fiction. There are no real witches or wizards yes there are in the book but you have to know the difference. Thats the point Harry Potter is FICTION.
and um…….who are you? you commented on my site.
Yes God’s presence can bring you to tears; It’s true!! I’ve had that happen!
As for the Harry Potter thing, I decided to write a journal entry on it, so ya can check out my xanga again n it’s on there.:D
God Bless,

GOD BLESS!!
Harry Potter can be something you take literally or take it as something to have fun when reading. God has said in the Bible that he wants us to know all the ways of other people. He wants us to abide by all the rules and still have an understanding of the views and ways of Jesus Christ. I do not worship Harry Potter, witches, wizard, and I am not one so I believe reading Harry Potter is okay. God Bless!
Do you have a Bible on tape or something?
I am so glad that someone else is brought to tears when God is working in their lives! I get that alot when God is trying to get a point across to me and I finally get it.
Thanks for the comment. yeah, I like most of the random junk on my site. I found that pic on some site, it’s Benji Madden from Good Charlotte. welp, just thought I’d thank you for the comment, cuz what’s the point of having a xanga site and not getting comments. it would be totally neglected and boring, oh well.

I got your name thru getty’s site. Was wondering how you were able to have music? Once I got premium, I couldn’t have songs anymore….I miss it. Take care & God bless.
Praise God for the way He spoke to you through the scripture.
GOD IS SO AWESOME! I remember the first time I felt the presence of God… and realized it was God… IT WAS AMAZING! I knew I was safe. As I said before… GOD IS SO AWESOME!
Hi, Randy. i was pleasantly surprised to see a comment from someone i have yet to establish contact with, and on top of that from a male perspective, so thanks for that. as for my view on Harry Potter, i have a very limited, basic, outsider’s POV; havent read any of the books, only seen 1 or 2 of the movies in segmented viewings, but i guess i’d have to say i dont have much of a fired up opinion right off to begin with. there are surrounding issues and piercing insights to be made, but for now i dont get involved with Potter. however, i will say this… the financial success of the series/story as an undeniable literary and cinematic newcomer is not only factual but also significant to the capitalistic economy we live with as Americans. other issues i will leave up in the air are: 1) American kids and 2) the occultic overtones/undertones (if any at all). later.
I really like Harry Potter, but I still live for the Lord each and every day. I am a very strong Christian. Have an awesome day!! GOD BLESS YOU RANDY!!!
Your Friend in Christ,
Andrew
Amen. God is incredible! It is amazing to me when God can reach me through the thick wall around my heart, my busy mind and my self-will and actually get me to listen. I need to get used to the sound of His voice and be open to Love. GBU.
BTW is it me or is your song skipping?
awesome post
have a good weak… so are you in the ministry by any chance?
God bless!
