Day 19
verse; Isaiah 45:22
purpose; keep looking to God all the time.. not only when we are in trouble or when we receive blessings from Him
Yesterday we had an after party from new year at a friend's place. We had a nice very nice time there. We especially laughed a lot!! (=
Today I got a call from my pastor. She was worried about the spiritual cleansing so she called me. I told her everything was fine! Cause I'm not on my own and I'm leaning on His power. Still, this spiritual cleansing will be very tough I think.
She also mailed me about internship in a christian organization. I would love to do my internship there and simultaneously honor God. She also wondered where my updates were, but because I was at a friend's place I couldn't update my blog. It's really an encouragement to hear that my pastor and some friends are really following my blog! Lord, please use my blog and that Your Word may reach the hearts of different people!
Amen.

Day 18
verse; Jermiah 2:2
purpose; be dedicated to God anytime.. not just in the beginning when you just got converted
Today before basketball I went to the library to study with some friends. And when I had nothing to do after a while, I grabbed my bible and wanted to read. Then suddenly a friend of mine took my bible and started to look in it and read the first couple of pages. I was really was like O__O
I'm going to pray to God that His Word may come to her.
After basketball I had a good conversation with a friend. I usually talk to him about basketball, because we both love that sport like crazy!
But this time, the conversation was about family, religion and relationships. The conversation was going so deep, he told me a lot of personal things that he has a hard time with. I was really in moved by his story, because he normally doesn't talks about it and he doesn't show it neither.
I really have respect for this guy. He really has a tough life. And I'm definitely going to continue to pray for him. May God really really bless him!
God works!
Yeah He definitely works! Haven't I told you I had communication problems with my family?
In only ONE night, God told me to act like Jesus would. You can say that He was kind of like: 'What would My Son Jesus do?'
Then everything became very clear. My mind, my heart.. it was peaceful again.
Thank you, God.

Day 17
verse; John 3:3
purpose; fresh we all will become when we are born again with the Spirit of God residing in us
First of all, I want to explain (again?) that the verse in the beginning of each post of my blog is from the website http://utmost.org/ the and purpose under the verse is my personal look on the verse and the description on the site. It has nothing to do with the post under the verse and purpose. That part is telling what I've gone through or what I've experienced with God that day.
Today I had a first lesson short spiritual cleansing. Spiritual cleansing is like cleaning your room. You get rid of the mess so your room is fresh and clean again.
The same goes for your body, soul and mind. They need a cleaning too sometimes or it will get really messy.
If you're interested then I would like to refer you to my pastor. She can give you more information about it. Oh yeah, and she is a very nice person!! (= God bless her!
The spiritual cleansing is a difficult task, although when I looked at the checklist it seemed really easy. Just get rid of some aspects. But it goes beyond that.
It was my first time so I don't know much about it yet. But I will learn more about it after a few more sessions.. and of course when I've talked to my Heavenly Father about it.
"I hear so many Christians, murmuring about their imperfections, and their failures, and their addiction, and their shortcomings. And I see so little war! Murmur, murmur, murmur. Why am I this way? Make War!"

Day 16
verse; Genesis 15:12
purpose; when darkness falls after God gives us a vision, don't light your own fire up to help Him.. but trust and wait for His timing
Today I received a non- spiritual checklist from my pastor. When I opened it and looked around in it, I already saw a few things I'm struggling with.
I pray to God that I may receive the strength and guidance to do a thorough investigation on myself to clean up my mind and soul.
Furthermore I want to pray for my connection with my family who hasn't been to easy on me. I struggle very much to socialize normally with them. I pray to God for the right words, the right moment and social healing.
In Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 15
verse; John 20:38
purpose; there is a clear difference between the service we do and the surrender of our whole life to Him.. the last one is true loyalty
Psalm 24
1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not trust in an idol
or swear by a false god.
5 They will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
