this is one of my favorite songs "Fix You" by:Coldplay
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
when you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Espero que cada uno tenga un dÃa impresionante. Tengo balompié esta noche a partir de la 6-8 asà que seré detrás atrasado.
IN CHRIST ALONE MY HOPE IS FOUND!!!
May 25 2006
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
much love to everybody- have an awesome summer
i love each and everyone of you-call me so we can get together
it's not good deeds or ceremony that gets you into heaven, it's God grace alone, and your decision of whether or not to accept it. So just cuz ur a great person doesnt mean youll have eternal life with Christ!GOD IS THE ONLY CONSTANT IN AN EVER CHANGING WORLD

IMITATE CHRIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 20 2006
My new IT verse for life.
Philippians 2:1-11
Imitating Christ's Humility
1If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Amen We all have to humble ourselves and consider ourselves servants for the Lord because that is what God has called us to do. We must do the work our Heavenly Father has set before us.
I love each and everyone of you guys so much. Pray continuously, never cease. Love Jesus with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind.
PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!
-Matthew-
JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
April 11 2006
Wow, those are some strong words. Our Savior died in the most inhumane way possible just so we would have eternal life if we believed in him. So as good Friday and Easter approach just think about what Jesus Christ did for you. What an awesome thing to know that because Jesus paid the price I will have eternal life in Heaven.
John 3:16 (New International Version)
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
What an amazing verse. So now my questin to you is, Do you have a passion for God like he has a passion for you?
Have a great day everyone and I'll see most of you Wednesday night.
Jesus paid the price, will you pick up your cross and carry it?
JESUS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!

April 02 2006
Hola everyone, I hope everyone had an excellent spring break. Mine was amazing. Our mission trip couldnt have gone any better. Also I got to know some of my youth group that i didnt know real well. Two in particular that I got to spend a lot of time with because they were in my group. Olivia and Abi. Two amazing servants of Christ, beautiful both on the inside and out. It was so awesome to get to know them and watch them grow in Christ over the week. I love both of them so much. Amazing-the only word to describe them.
Im gonna try to start updating almost everyday.
-Matthew-
this pic below is awesome
Jesus should be uncensored. dont change things around for your own benifit, or dumb down the bible, those are his words. shout them from every rooftop with a never ceasing call. CRY OUT TO JESUS!!!!!!!!!

The Lord has truly blessed my life and has shown me my weaknessess and mistakes. Praise God for his awesome power. I also found a verse this week that I want you guys to read and take to heart.
