Hey everyone,
I'm at my dad's workplace cause it's take ur kids to work day!!!
its boring but at least im not at school haha

16 So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it.

What I got from this passage was that God decides our mercy. We can't do anything to change his mind because God will only do what's right. If he sees that we deserve mercy, he'll give it to us. But we can't necessarily earn his mercy after our sins because for him to decide to give us mercy, it will be based on our actions done before.

that;s all i got

19One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?" 20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?' "[h] 21Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?

i actually had to read todays chapter like 4 times... i guess im having a hard time focusing, so many things are going on at once...but i did get something out of todays chapter!
so here it says "who are you, o man to talk back to God". i really reflected on this one. we're not perfect, far from it. We make so many mistakes and we sin, and yet sometimes we say "GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING" like what are we, to talk back to God? basically we're saying "God you made a mistake" and God never makes mistakes. We just need to trust what He is doing and follow through because in the long run its for the best, even if itsa little tough in the present time.

im SOOO tired, and i have so much work to do...
IM DONE MY ISU!! Very Happy wow, but seriously, i worked for like 5 hours last night to find out that the presentations are tomorrow..... why did he change it Sad hahahahaha
i hate math , with my life........ so dumb, how am i going to be an architect ?

"“Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted,”"
Thats right... MAKE NOTE OF THAT

" 20 No, don’t say that. Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God? "
owned...

"Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law[o] instead of by trusting in him."
hmm trusting God is very hard. I try every day to give God my problems, and leaving it up to the big guns upstairs. Does he always give me an answer? no. But its all cool in the end. which is kind of an answer...

Trust God with all your heart, soul and mind.
Remember that thing i said when we were praying for Sam?
"“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge him,
And he will make your paths straight.”
(Proverbs 3:5-6)"

hey guys.. i had a greadt day today!! hope you guys are
doing well.. I hope allan and Cathy feels better!!

Through out this chapter, this verse RELE stood out to me...
33As it is written:
"See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

Hey, doesnt that word 'ZION' rele stand out to you guys??
cuz i remember hearing and reading that word MANY times and
didnt kno wat it meant... I heard that word MANY times and i remember
the first time i heard that word was from Matrix!! HAHA EPIC MOVIE!!
I searched up the word in the dicitionary and it had many definitions.
1. a hill in Jerusalem, on which the Temple was built (used to symbolize the city itself, esp. as a religious or spiritual center).
2. the Jewish people.
3. Palestine as the Jewish homeland and symbol of Judaism.
4. heaven as the final gathering place of true believers.
5.A place or religious community regarded as sacredly devoted to God.

i thought and thought and the 5th definition made the most sense to me...
that basically meant church... jst like sam said, A community of brothers
and sisters that builds a relationship with god... God put a stone/ rock
on 'ZION' that makes people fall!! WAT?? makes people fall, is god trying to
ditch us?? NOOO!! but wat this verse meant was god put this rock to make
NON believers fall, but in the end, people who has faith in him will never fall...
This chapter was SICK!!

oh man I am back thanks to Tylenol regular strength lol

wow I learned something I never thought about before

Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, "why have you made me like this?"

I think that up to this point you are just purposely trying to argue with God for the wrong reasons. He is patient and he will listen, but who are we to say that God you screwed up, this is your fault for making me like this. Honestly God has the right to be angry, but he is patient, and he will demonstrate his fairness when he deems fit. It must be like such a slap to the face to God, but he takes it, and he takes it from us, the ones who are so dirty in his eyes. That is patience. WOW Patience is something I always wanted, becasue it can solve so much negativity, by not being quick to anger.

anyways

k c ya guys soon
