once more..

well here i am again posting.  God has been so good to me lately.  I started reading E.M. Bounds, and his writings on prayer, and it has made my spiritual so much better.  Now it's not just a sunday thing.  I can't stand to listen to anything but Christian music on the radio hardly, and i just feel like He's there again.  Not that He ever moves, I did.  but i can really feel his peace.  As far as kayla goes, i'm just gonna wait.  I really feel like it's God's will for us to be together, and i'll just wait til that can happen.  I just really need your prayers these days, because it seems like the closer you get to God, the more satan wants to trip you up.  And he does.  Then the process starts all over again.  It's cruel, but i'm just trying to live through it.  So i hope y'all are doing good.  i really do love God :)

Psalms 27:14

And i'll leave you with a verse of a song by the Lutrick's (About the cross).

"If i had just one more song i could sing you,
One more story i could tell, before i leave.
If i only had one message i could bring you.
There's no question it would be...

About the cross, about the blood,
About the place I found in God's mercy and love.
And although it's bitter sweet, remembering the cost.
there's something wonderful about the cross."

Long time no post

Well hey y'all!!
Lots to tell ya, i got a banjo gig playing with a band for the show "Robber Bridegroom" up at a dinner theatre in the mountains.  lots of fun.

The past month and a half were the best of my life.  These were spent with a person i love dearly.  She just broke up with me, she said she just wasn't ready for it.  And maybe she wasn't i'm not to say.  But i know i sure was happy.  Which leaves me stuck.  How do you plead with someone to do what is best for you too when you want them to be hapy and do what is best for them, and when they know you'll be around when time comes.  It's not like i can change my feelings, but i don't appreciate being jerked around either ya kno.  I thought it was truly God's will for us to be together, she made me such a better person.  maybe one day tho.  We can hope right?

Just waiting for school to get out, doing a lot of picking, fishing, and watching the office.  Anyways, just keep it real,

Luke

Not Worthy By Any Means of the Word

Well,
We just got done with church.  It was a good service.  I sang a special by myself, and i think that God was pleased.  I realize (as i often do) just how unworthy i am of God's love!  But He reminds (just as He always does) That I'm not worthy, but what Christ has made is *is*!!!  That'll get the blood pumping. 

Today's Text: Matthew 5:16
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
If that isn't challenge enough, you're hopeless

Be good y'all

wow...
i can't believe how much has happened since the last time i posted.  Well, i tried to stay away from Xanga for a lil while for certain reasons, but i'm back.  First of all, Life is great and so is my God!  Our musical was a success.  A really pretty girl likes me, and my God is gonna save her soon.  We left the church we were going to because of how legalistic it was, but we've started one in our home, sunday morning and wednesday night.  We have a family and a couple currently coming.  I do the music, and kids ministry on Wednesdays.  My sister is comin out for mom's day tomorrow, so i hope to patch things up with her.  She hasn't known me since i've gotten saved, and i want to show her that i really do care about her.  It amazes me that God doesn't bop me on the head because i quit reading my Bible like i used to.  I'm quite ashamed of the fact, but i'll do good ot read 2 or 3 times on my own a week.  I still try to pray quite a lot, especially for lexy, haley, and shyla.  I used to think that i couldn't have a walk with God if i didn't read my Bible, but that is just legalistic nonsense.  God loves me all the same.  Am i trying to make an excuse for me being lazy, no.  But, I am learning a lesson on God's grace.  And i'm still a babe in Christ, and have many lessons to go.

I don't really want to post a devotional, but i love this song...

"For making the sun to shine,
Putting the stars in the sky,
For the flowers that bloom,
The ocean so blue,
Thank You Lord.

For being a Friend so dear,
For giving my sad heart cheer,
For holding my hand,
When i could not stand,
Thank You Lord.

I just want to thank You Lord,
I just want to thank You Lord
For holding my hand,
When i could not stand,
Thank You Lord
For giving Your Life for me,
On the Cross of Calvary,
For saving my soul,
Makin me whole,
Thank You Lord."

If you feel the same comment.  Well, just comment at me anyways

well howdy folks,

life is great.  we are having revival this week.  i love revival.  it has been good so far.  a couple of threads that are spinning in my mind right now is the song,"separate me from what separates us" by steve ivey.  it says separate me from what separates us, my affections are set on above.  that is my prayer for me and y'all.  and in dueteronomy 6(fun fun!!) it says:
5-And thou shalt love the Lord with all thine heart, and with all thine soul, and with all thine might.
6-And these words, which i command you this day, shall be in thine heart:
13-Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

what a good passage from a good book......AMEN
