It may not seem like it but I do love you

1 John 4:20-21

New International Version (NIV)

²⁰ Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. ²¹ And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

Hey so this one obviously is talking about the verse here(courtesy of my friend Kryst Lyke ). I got the idea will I was talking to my little brother Tymothie one time in the morning. See every morning i'm the one who has to get up early and wake everyone up for school and so one morning (well most mornings) when i woke Tym up I got angry because he would not stay awake. Later i realized that if I want my siblings to like me and actually trust me as a brother I had to change so before we left I told Tym (yum yum) that "though it may not seem like it I do love you ." and of course he was like SURE in his sarcastic manner.That just got me angry all over again, but anyways what i'm trying to say is ... At times we may be going through hardships and wondering "God why did you leave me like this it seems like you don't love me any more.". Really all the while God is trying to tell you "I am still here and i do love you.". Don't count God out when things get tough.

Fully Alive

When I say Fully Alive if any of you are Flyleaf Fans you might think i'm talking about the song. Well I kinda am See the idea for this post came from listening to the Song "Fully Alive" by Flyleaf. The lyrics to the chorus is what I want to show you this is what they say...

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
And she knows how to believe in futures

It's talking about living life to the fullest and having faith that God has a future for you. Now this is just my twist to it but it makes a lot of sense to me.

God Puke

Revelation 3:15-16 ¹⁵ I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! ¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.


This simply talks about you being on one side or the other either sleeping with the devil or living the life God has for you. He does not want you to straddle the fence because then you become God puke. He will spit you out like that *Snap* that's it. I know its short but i have something planed either for wensday or friday

Tennis(pain)& my past week

Hey so as is obvious by the title this is about tennis. The reason for pain is because i am very very sore. But that's all good life has its ups and downs and pain is just a down side that's all. I am very excited because I have my drivers licences. Yep i am now officially allowed to drive without an adult. that makes me very happy. Yesterday or Sunday February 26, 2012 I got to go play at New Everdale Missionary Baptist Church in Montevallo it was Awesome!!!!
The service was very different from my church but it was still a great service. Recently I have been really busy with the things I am doing, but that is the same with everyone... Unless you are completely ANTI-social.

You Can't Hear Me!

OK so this is about a subject that came up on the radio this morning. The subject was this "Can Satan hear my thoughts?" well when I heard this I thought about it and decided no Satan can't hear our thoughts. This being because Satan is weaker than God and does not have any power close to or as strong as God's. That being said i started to wonder what kind of power Satan has. As I thought about this I started to list what I could think of. Here is what I came up with...
1. Satan is weaker than God
2 .He has an extensive network of spy's
3. We let him hear what we want to
4. When we give our power away we give him free access to what ever we think about or do
5. He will try as hard as he can to access your knowledge and know what you are thinking so that he can tempt you with what he/his minions feel is needed
6. He knows what the usual response to a temptation is
 OK number one explains its self, but number two is talking about his demons that will try to tempt us. Number three means we have power over him because Jesus died on the cross for our sins and took the keys of hell away from Satan. Number four giving our power is us falling into temptation and once we do that it is hard to get up without Gods help. Number five is talking about him trying to break open your mind so that he can destroy what god has planned for you. Finally number six means that satan has a cheat sheet because over the years that he has tempted and tried people and seen the end results he knows what will happen if he does one thing or another.

P.S tell me what you think

Liberty

we have a liberty ( or Right ) to speak out about our god and our redeemer. our life is what we make it what we do at the age i'm in right now effects me and others greatly. if we decide to do stupid things such as smoking or drinking stuff that you might put in that area then you might as well be saying that i want to go to jail or i want to die young or you might be like my dad. see (and i'm not sure i know all this so don't complain to me ) my dad when he was younger ended up making bad choices and that lead to him getting involved with the wrong people and to him smoking and i think drinking ( not sure about that ). One night when he was like 18 him and my oma ( German i think for grandma ) went to a revival service at a small church so there wasn't a lot of people but any ways after that when he left he decided to come back the next night and that night he gave his life to God since then he has changed a lot and he eventually became a pastor ( and jack of all trades it seems ) and has been so for 16-17 years and in that time has had four kids Me my sis Christeonnah my little bro Tymothie and the baby of the family Juju and i personally think they are great parents..... Anyways i got way off subject what i was trying to say is that the choices you make now affect you greatly and i think my dads story explains it.

this is my family or at least my brother and sisters

what the name means

OK so this is about what my blog url address means. When i was younger my mom use to call me bug or buggy Or Critter Bug. This being because my mom when she was younger was called stink bug and critter bug sometimes by her Granny Jones. So since I love my mom more than anyone ( except Jesus ) I decided to name it for her that and of course she edits my blog to make it be proper in grammer at least so if you like my blog thank my mom whom I call mommy and love dearly.

NOTE FROM MOM... I don't edit everything... it'd take to long. But I do read it. I LOVE YOU CRITTER BUG!! Love Mommy

When i survey By Bluetree possible finearts choice

When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of Glory died;
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.

See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all


i like this song to me it means most evrey thing i like in God or want to say

the good, the bad, and the stupid

OK so this is about me because see my youth pastor says you got three voices in your head but they all sound the same. How do you tell which is which? its not easy but i have found that if you listen to what they say you find out pretty fast who is who. OK so the three people are Jesus Satan and yourself. for me its Jesus = good Satan =bad and me =stupid. Why because as a human being i may have good intentions but they will always fail if God's not cool with it and we continue to do this over and over again no matter what we fail and as i see it that makes us or me stupid.
