I once was lost but now I'm found

WOW. I've had a crazy, tiring but amazing weekend! From talks, to workshops, to even games. It's been pretty hectic! But hey, it was such good fun. I mean, I spent 3 days with my most favourite people in the world, it would be fun! Not only did we spend 3 days together, but in these 3 days, we grew in faith and knowledge of the Bible together! EEP. IT WAS AMAZING. I'm currently writing up proper notes of the talks, so it'll be up soon! (If I don't be a lazy bum and if you're interested) :D

A difficult life that wasn't his choice: Life on the Run v10-11 Jacob was on the run; he had nothing prepared but the clothes on his body. a) The back story: the threat of death -Genesis 27:41-43 From now on, his whole life was on the run. SIN HAS GREAT CONSEQUENCES. b) A long distance from home-500 miles c) Alone in the middle of no-where God came near: God's initiative v12-13 1. God speaking - Grace; we are undeserving of God's voice -God was born in a godly family but he didn't know God. -God interfered in his life- gave him his promise.  2. God opens his eyes-revelation v13-15 -Heaven connects with earth; Heaven meets earth - God made himself a stairway (v12) John 1:49-51-Jesus' situation; reference to Genesis. -God of Abraham & Isaac; not yet of JAcob 3.God reaffirms his promises v13-15 GRACE. We don't need to do things to receive salvation; you just need to BELIEVE -Behold, "I am with you" - Immanuel Ultimately, the b...

Sudden realisation as to how much I yearn for love. It's the cause of the insecurity I feel right? Empty 'I love you' phrases don't seem to satisfy me. Everytime I shout 'you love me', it's only because I want them to say yes. Mum and dad don't look like they love me. Mum always seems annoyed, dad seems too busy to care an when he does, he only says I'm useless. However much I know they love me, it doesn't satisfy me. I know God loves me. That I definitely know. He loves me so much He sent his son to die for me. But I don't feel close to Him at all. He's like a distant father. He loves me from a distant. I'm okay with that. I just want to feel loved and cared for. But I'm not feeling it. Not with friends, not with family. :/

-What Rebekah did costed the loss of her two sons How sin affects the family -Breaks the family Sins of the mother(deception) 3 things in ch 27: 1. Rebekah teaches her son to lie v1 -Isaac was rather blind Isaac was not only losing his physical eyesight, but also his spiritual eyesight. v2-4 Food was all that he could see! v28; he loved to eat, and therefore loved to eat. v5-6 A. Rebekah; forgot her role has the HELPER of her husband. [Notes lost] In one way, Rebekah did the right thing, but she cheated him rather than confronting him. v6-8 A. Rebekah followed God's plans in her own way to favour her son B. The end doesn't justify the means God doesn't need our help, He only needs our obedience and trust, for there is no other way to find happiness in Jesus. C. An abuse of parental authority -teaching son to lie to his own father 2. Jacob learnt well the art of lying v8-10 A. Rebekah teaches Jacob how to deceive his father: full to the stomach B. Rebe...

Last lesson at chinese school today...I will miss it dearly. The teacher, my friends...aish. Regretting my decision already :/ Ah well. :)

I am so confused :/ I don't even know what you did to confuse me. I just feel confuzzled. Don't be so nice to me. It will only make me more confused. Mixed feelings. Don't tease me. Don't make fun of me. Stop being so nice. It'll cause more pain when you find someone. :|

So, in Australian time, it is suicide awareness day. To help support we write love on our wrist or wear yellow. I was wondering. What if God hadn't been there? Yeh. This question comes up a lot here. LOL Would probably have died. Support the cause. Help raise awareness, and help those who feel unloved feel loved.
