Life is fun. A different kind've fun. I have found out that today has enough troubles of it's own and it's not good to boast about tomorrow. Today has enough troubles of it's own.

I found Jesus Christ, of Nazareth. He is quite intense. Holy at the sametime. Intensely Holy. Holy of Holies. Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness are key to living a healthy life. Although, life in this world isn't very healthy. Eating His fruit though, does something fierce inside your heart. I've done a lot of things in this short life of mine. A lot of things that shouldn't ever be redeemable and if this were ancient times, or a hundred years ago, I'd be dead.

Praise the Lord that I am not. Figuring out that all of us "humans" on this planet are actually supernatural being inside a skin suit was intense. Realizing that when this "skinsuit" wears out and dies, life totally doesn't stop. It actually starts.

You reap what you sow. Another term, Karma. It's funny how that works. You sow into bad things, and like a farmer when he plants his crop, always reaps more than he sows. It might not come back to get you today, it might not come back to get you for years. In some cases, it will come back to get you when you leave the planet. So it really does matter what you do here on this planet that determines the outcome of where you go, when you die. I've learned, it's best to sow into good everlasting things than things that can perish, rust, and eaten by moths.

You come into this world by yourself and naked. You leave this world by yourself and naked.

I have also learned, that there is one true and only way to Heaven. Now I know that sounds like a very close minded statement and something an ignorant judgemental christian would, but they actually happen to be right.

Jesus is the only way off this shipwrecked planet alive. He is, the way, the truth, and the life.

Now I never used to believe in any of this. I used to hate God. Always thought He was never real and if He was, well screw Him. I used to make fun of Jesusfreaks. I would try to spark the most offensive arguements ever about God. I was an ignorant prideful selfish kid who didn't know his head from his ass. I used to be incredibly mean. I was nice to my friends and always had their backs and nice to a lot of people. But when it came to anybody I didn't think was cool, or just didn't like him, I was a complete asshole. A very cocky person who thought they had something to prove to the world. Ha. I was way wrong.

Having a personal relationship with the Creator of this entire universe, is the most amazing thing ever. He never fails me, and never leads me down the wrong path. He always provides my needs. Always. Never fails. Being filled with His Spirit and always in contact. It's crazy how much that can change a person. I mean, I pray for something, and it happens. Always. His answer is always best. Sometimes He says no, sometimes He says yes, and Sometimes you have to really put your feet to the prayers and meet Him a quarter the way. He always goes the extra distance. He does punish you for sins. I am forgiven, but yet, I do something wrong or I get into my patterns of sin, I will get chastised for it. IT REALLY SUCKS SOMETIMES.

Afterwards though, things are different. You gotta learn from it, if you don't, it only gets worse. What good Father doesn't discipline their children? Without discipline, how can you live an effective life? You can't. Look at the world today, it's in a very very sad condition. This planet is a living breathing creature like us, and everything that is living and breathing, will eventually return to the dust it came from. The kick is, YOU CAN'T PREDICT IT!!!!!!!

Not even the angels in heaven know when The Lord is gonna erupt this place. It'll happen though. He says it'll be when we least expect it, like a thief in the night.

God has really blessed me with a lot. In highschool I started having crazy dreams and they would always happen. That happens with a lot of people. Since the Lord has came in, these dreams have turned into something crazy. I can't even explain it. They're lucid, but they're also not from me. Not from my brain in the least bit. I sometimes end up in very familiar but not of this world places. Lot's of predicting the weather that is about to hit my life. Warnings.

Most all my paintings have happened in real life that I did in highschool. I didn't know why I was painting what I was, I just thought it looked cool at the time. Down the road, it would happen. Since the Lord has come into my life, it's gotten even crazier. I learned to turn my paintings into prayers and it's amazing what can happen. I haven't taken any pictures of my paintings or cared to put them up here. But I haven't quit. I've just finally been figuring out my style. Like, I've always had my style but I guess I just refined it a lot more. Much more colorful. When I was in the dark, I painted like I was in the dark. It was almost always night. Now, They're filled with light. Lots of light. It's amazing when you're getting painting lessons from the Creator.

Now I know I sound really super crazy. When all this started to happen, I ran to my art teacher Mr. Wegner. I told him everything cause I really thought I was going crazy and just overanalyzing everything but, I wasn't. He was quite happy for me that my eyes got bursted into eternity, He explained alot to me that day.

I found the Lord when I was 20. Even though I was only 20, I had experienced quite a bit of the ugliness of this world. I was the biggest trainwreck ever. In three little days, my entire life got completely shattered. A week later, in three days, my world got put back together. It was incredible. Feeling the Holy Ghost, is better than any orgasm or drug. It's amazing. It's pure unfiltered love. Everyone on this planet is in desperate need of that love.

I go to church now. Bible Studies. I read the word everyday. Whether it be a tiny bit or a lot of bit. I constantly try to stay in contact with God. Prayer my friend, changes a lot of things. Heaven is our true home. If we don't call in, life tends to get the better of us. Or atleast with me, that's the case. I still sinning everyday and no where near perfect. Nor will I ever claim to be. I am quite the screw up actually. I've got some nasty addictions that I've been trying to kick for a long time. I still cuss. I can be very prideful. Malicious. Slanderous. Envious. Jealous. Murderous. And the list can go on and on and on and on for me.

But I am working on it.

It's not that I think that I have to work on it. It's that I want to work on it. Grace and Forgiveness from God it's the most beautiful thing ever. It's out of love for God and what He did for me so I could be in relationship with him.

He sent His son as a sacrifice for the atonement of sins for the entire world and raised Jesus back to life on the Third day. Everyone on this planet has fallen short of the Glory of God. Everyone has to be redeemed. Without Repentance and Faith, judgement with not go very well for you my friend.

Now I know that again, doesn't go very well with most of the population on planet Earth. But it's the truth, I promise.

Another truth, Satan is very very very real. His biggest lie and tactic to the world is convincing people that he isn't real. But he is. And he owns most of the people on this world. It's a very very sad thing. He also has demons that roam this entire planet and affect everybody whether they know it or not. You wouldn't have any clue how much the Devil hates me since becoming a beacon of light. He loves to attack me and drive me crazy. He's tried to kill me a few times as well since. I've seen Him. Resist the devil and he will flee from you, I promise.

Angels are all around us as well. Infact, the spirit realm is much more real than this one and a lot more powerful. Never put anything past God. Like King Nebuchadnezzar, the man who had the entire world at his hands and thought of himself like a god, said himself,"Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble."

Nothing is impossible for God. Nothing.

Since i've come to the Lord, I've been persecuted, my best of friends have left me, my family got divided, and all kinds of other garbage along the way. Jesus said that would happen. I now know how the kids i made fun of in highschool felt.

It's awesome though. Cause the blessing of the Lord is worth more than anything. Wisdom is worth more than any amount of money or precious gem.

I've become a lot more loving toward people. A lot more chilled out. Now I know that comes with age but it's in a different way. Love God and no other god and love your neighbor as you love yourself. You will find great success as a person, I promise.

I've got a long road ahead of me and a lot to accomplish before I leave the Earth. Everyday is a new adventure. Anyone of these days could be our last. In the blink of an eye. Everything you worked for here on Earth amounted to nothing. Now storing up eternal treasures, amounts to everything.

I still have a lot of questions about this life and why really bad things happen in this world, and someday I'll know why.

I know I sound crazy, but i already knew that. I surprise myself from time to time on how far i've come and how much has changed.

I hopes and prayers for all of you are, to come into right relationship with Jesus and to see you all in Heaven.
