Taste the salt, smell the salt, BE THE SALT!

ok!
i was reading Matthew 5:13 the other day and it really hit me!
my devotional book was talking bout the salt of the Earth thing , which has always kind of confused me, and it actually started making sense to me.

when we add salt to food it changes the taste!
there's a definite change, u notice it!
well hey, that's what we should be like in our world, as Christians!
our friends, our family, our work, church, school, etc, should be affected by our Christianity.
we should be able to see the difference that we make and so should others!

well it got me thinking, 'what difference have i made? can i see a difference? even in the lives of non-Christians?'
so i prayed for God to help me, to use me to make a difference, so that i could actually see it.
well since the other day he's really answered prayer!
this blog is mainly to praise him!
i was slightly dis-heartened by seeing no difference, then in the last few days it's as if i'm starting to see some change in some people, mainly through spiritual conversations and just small hints here and there... like my non-Christian housemate saying 'amen' after i said grace!!! yay!

to wrap it up a bit, lol, read the following verse, meditate on it (think about it) and praise God that he's given us the bible to test our lives, show us his love and help us to stay in-line with his will and plans for our lives and our happiness.

ps. COME TO EASTER CAMP;-D



13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Update!

Just an update on my last blog,
God is amazing!!!!!!!
yesterday i caught up with my nan, which was great coz i hevn't seen her in like 7 and a half years!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNND i'm gonna be seeing my best friends from primary school in the next few days, or when properly organised but soooooon!
wow! i can't believe how fortunate i am and God really does love to bless us!
Hallelujah!
well, bye for now, not for ever;-)

I Remember You!!!

my mind has been absolutely blown away!
God is definitely full of surprises.
if any1 knows a bible verse or two that relates to this please let me know, i'd really appreciate it.

It all started on Christmas day, when i spoke to a friend over the phone who i have not seen or spoken to for around 10 years!!!! now i have the chance to see them again and i'm looking forward to it:-)

then the other day my nan asked if i wanted to catch up, which may sound simpl enough to you but i haven't seen my nan for around 10 years asweel, so again i've been blessed by God with a wonderful oppurtunity.

but wait there's more!!!!.......
the other day i curiously searched for an old friend on myspace, and low and behold they had a myspace!!!! i'm now in more regular contact with two of my best and only friends from primary school, who i haven't seen in around 5yrs because they moved interstate.

also, lol be patient, the other day i was added on bebo by an old friend from primary school who i haven't seen in about 6 years, he's now living interstate, but i'm hoping to c him again and contact the rest of his family who i was close to.

and last, for now, but not least, i got a surprise phone call from my first carers, when i moved into government care, who i haven't seen in around 5 years either. it was soooooooo great to speak to them again and see how things are going, and hopefully i can see them soon.

God is amazing, he's lifted my spirit by these wonderful and joyful surprises when i've needed it most. thankyou so much Jesus, thankyou for watching over us. amen!

i'm expecting to meet the midwife who delivered me next, lol, jokes.

hope you all take to heart that God has complete knowledge of what we need and when we need it.

Psalm 37:4 'Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.'
