Author: Mr. Sam

FF!!!!!

They NEED to learn to grow up and deal with things by confronting someone about it rather than just assume and talk crap about someone behind their back. Just talk to the person, that is ALL it takes!!!!!

JUST GROW UP, this isn't junior high anymore!

:) I guess that's all I can do.


Just SHOW respect.....

Wow, all I can say is what a game. There is no other way I would of rather capped of my season than by being crowned a state champion! To me it was more than just a game, it was a lifetime of memories. "11 as 1" and "better dead than red". This was our season! Winning in Miami definitly made this different than any other state championship team from hamilton before us. We showed that we are Hamilton and AZ football is big time football.

Plus we get one of those SEXY championship rings to flaunt. Lol

this special person!

There is this girl I know, one of the MOST amazing people I know. She is so mature for her age, she is a dedicated strong working individual. She means so much to mean and I don't even think she realizes it. We were so close then something happen and she needed some space. I was willing to give it to her because if that is what it takes for me to be with her I am comletly willing to do it! We have startted talking again but its seems different, not nessicarily in a bad way just different. For one, I have never felt this way about anyone before. Its sounds really cheezy but no matter what I do I think of her....no matter how had I try not to it doesn't work! Normally if something like this had happened I would of been like oh well and just moved on. And I tried this time but I just can't shake her. Part of the reason it didn't work before is because she is completly consumed with dance, but let me tell you what, God has given her this amazing gift, she is so talented at what she does. I went to her competition tonight and watched her, it gave me the chills. We are so much alike that I want this to work. I am willing to wait however long I need to as long as I end up with her. Now I know I just need to give it time and take things slowly and ok works for me, but what I really want to know is if she shares any of these same feelings?! I know that if it is meant to work then God will make it happen. Hopefully I can show her how much I care without suffocating her I guess, if that makes any sense.

The time we spent close was honestly the best times of my short life lol. I just want to show her how much she means to me but I just don't know how, and I don't want to end up doing it only to find out that she is completlty over me (if she is both me, and everyone I have talked to this about would be shocked). She really does make me whole and that is what it comes down to.


So I am just going to give this one up to God and let him works his magic. That way I know no matter what the results it was meant to happen. And then ill learn from it.

Wow, glad I got that off my chest!

NO! Its not a "Head Freeze"

So on tuesday Tori took the kids she was nannying to sunsplash and I decided that I was going to tag along... Before I went to sunsplash I was out with my Mom running errands and she wanted to know how much it would cost so I asked Cha Cha, and found out it was $7 cheaper if you bought a ticket online, and being that I am a major bargain shopper I decided to buy a ticket online... I go to golfland.com and click on Arizona and it brings up the names of the parks and I really didn't pay attention to that I just looked for where it was located, saw the one located in tempe and bought tickets to it.....So I go up to the counter and try to get my wristband and the're like you bought a ticket to big surf not sunsplash and I was like aren't they all the same thing? I mean they are owned by the same company after all... so I walk away just laughing and see Tori and Tamara at the lockers and I tell them what I did and the yjust chuckeled and they tell me to talk to the people at the entrance to see if there is anything I can do, well there wasn't so I see this man and his son walking out of the park and I ask if there is anyway I can get his wristband because I am the BIGGEST dumbass in the world....so I get it, I get in and I enjoy my short stay at the waterpark.

So this morning as I am sitting on a plane from Charolette to Philidelphia and I looked out the window of the plane and saw something so beautiful that words can't even describe. To be 30,000 feet up in the air and to see the sunrise between bunches of clouds was a breath taking sight...and It made me think, How could all of this just have been an accident? I mean there is no possible way! It just reminded me of how mighty God is, so mighty that HE could create all of this from scratch. Every morning when you wake up you don't even think about the fact that the Almighty God created this, and we just take it for granted....all I am trying to say is if we take something that small for granted, then what else are we taking for granted as well?

Just ponder that thought for a moment


I know that God loves you and the little african kids...and he wants his Kingdom to be diverse, not just white Americans so he is sending you to Africa to save their little souls....hahaha

but seriously I know that she wouldn't be doing this unless it was God's will. I pray that she just shows the orphans LOVE that God wants the whole world to see. I hope that by showing thm that LOVE that he will impact them in a way in which they want to turn their life over to christ. I wish her the best of luck....and I want to let her know that we will still LOVE her even if she comes back skinnier than Nicole Richie. hahah

There is so much more I could say but that basically sums it all up in a nutshell.

Because I get migranes. I cant even begin to explain how much they screw with your life. I mean during the school year I end up missing so much school that when I come back I have to make up so much work its ridiculous. I mean this year they caused me to gt my first ever C in a class. And today...of all days to get one...I'm at disneyworld with my family and I wake up with the WORST migrane, and its killing me right now. I'm just sitting here writing this while the rest of my family is at Disney World enjoying themselves....

I HATE MIGRANES SO MUCH...I WISH I COULD GET RID OF THEM!

This is the fun kiddie coaster

So yesterday I got to go to Disney World for the first time and it was so much fun....except for the rollercoaster....I'm afraid of them to begin with so while my parents and two brothers went on space mountain, my sister Abby and I wnt over and rode on the kiddie coaster (it was so much fun!) anyways so when we met up with them afterwards they started talking about how easy it was and it wasn't scary at all so Abby said she would go if I would so I figured i'll try one more rollercoaster...bad idea!

First of all it is in complete darkness, and second th cars are single file...anyways as soon as we start Abby starts crying gt me off!, I want to go home, meanwhile i'm screaming like a littl girl in the back holding on to my little sister for dear life. As soon as we get off Abby says she just wants to try it on more time and they asked me and I told them NEVER again! I mean this rollercoaster almost made me crap my pants (Yes, I'm 100% serious). My dad would just not let it go, he's like we'll tell your friends your afraid of rollercoasters and i told him that most of them already know ha ha. Then later that night my family decides to go on another rollercoaster so I wait for them to get off and once they do the onslaught of badgering started....Sam, its really not that bad or "There aren't even any loops or steep drops" and I keep telling them NO and No means No! So my family decided to make fun of me about it and I was just like whatever, finally my mom made them stop thankfully! Anyways off to go to some other park with nothing but coasters i'm sure hahaha.

In Hebrews 6 it says: “For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.”

For some this is one of the hardest verses in the Bible to understand because people are confused about the fact that people have tasted the heavenly gift. Most people then assume by tasting the gift that it means they are full blown believers. It is logical to think that but here is what those people need to understand.

What they mean by "tasting it" is that you have experienced the spirit. There are so many ways to just "taste it" even just by listening to a really good sermon you have tasted the spirit, If you see someones life changed as a result of Christ just by witnessing it you have tasted the spirit. however just because you have tasted something doesn't mean you continue to eat it.

The best example I can think of is this game we played up at hume, there was a mystery food game and you have to completly finish it to move on to the next task. So when you get there you take a bite of it and realize it's chocolate cake with mayonaise frosting, just because you tasted it doesn't mean you get to move on, there is obviously no way around the cake you either decide to continue on or stop right there and spit the rest of the cake out, so in order to move on you must completly accept (eat) the cake and by completing the cake (or making the choice to accept Christ and follow him) you get to move on (or go to heaven), and you can't go back they can't take the fact that you have eaten the cake away from you!

So the fact remains, as long as you make the decision to devote your life to following Christ your salvation cannot be taken from you, but those of you who have just tasted it you might want to take a second look and really dig deep and think about the fact that you could spend eternity with Christ in heaven or you could burn in hell and be eternally damned.

Temptations

Author: Mr. Sam

Temptations. They come in all shapes and sizes, some are more appealing than others and some seem like they are screaming at you "You know you want me! Hurry, just once won't hurt." The sad thing is that no matter how bad you want something if there are consiquences that are attached to that particular thing you are going to have to deal with them.

The hardest part about resisting temptation is that it is so appealing and looks perfect in that moment but you know looking back on it you will definitly regret it.
I mean I have the perfect example- My parents are going out of town this weekend and I'm going over to my friends house. On friday night we were supposed to go over to this girls house and spend the night there. I asked if they were going to be drinking or what, and my friend says "what happens, happens" after he said that it made me think. There are so many things wrong with the whole situation in the first place, first of all we would be lying to his parents to go there, second- neither of the girls are christians which is a BIG NO NO. I mean why would I want to put my self in a situation where I have a very high chance of failing. That is why in the Bible its tell us to surround ourselves with fellow believers because they will encourage us and help keep us accountable. I doubt the girls parents will be home which makes it just that much easier to fail, and especially coming from hume that is not something that will help further my walk with God. The one thing I can use this situation as is a disciplship opportunity to help share my faith with my friend and show him that the Devil puts all these distractions in our life to try and lead us astray when in reality we need to distance ourselves from all that garbage....I guess what I am trying to get across is the fact that temptations are hard to say no to but you just need to do it. I mean who doesn't want to spend the night at a girls house when her parents aren't home, however just because it sounds good doesn't mean it is!

I talked about this whole situation with someone that really has her head on straight and is constantly helping me grow in the Lord. I mean sure there are wiser people out there but everytime I have a problem I can't just go running to the President, or the head pastor of my church and just sit down and talk to them for an hour and a half. That is why God puts fellow believers in our life, they allow us to share whats on our hearts and they help keep us accountable because temptations are everywhere.

Goodbye Already

Author: Mr. Sam


I really can't believe that Ryan Guard is moving already, it seems like only yesterday that they (cornerstone) let him go. I mean at least I got to see him one more time before he leaves for Santa Ana. The good thing is that i can fly out there whenever I feel like it because I fly for free and he only lives like 15 minutes from the airport.


The craziest part about helping him move out today is that around Christmas time I helped him move a bunch of stuff into his house that today I was taking out. it made me really stop and think about just how much of a blur life can be sometimes and how we need to keep it from just seeming like a blur, we need to take everything one day at a time and just "Roll with the punches."


As bummed as I am to see him leave, I can't wait to see what God does with him out in Cali. God has obviously put him there for a reason and I hope the church really accepts him and helps him transition smoothly. He is going to have such a big impact on that church and they dont even know it yet. I mean sure they are expecting him to have an impact I just dont think they realize how much of an impact he will have. I really hope God blesses the Guard family and their new church.

Looking for a "Better" Fit?

Author: Mr. Sam


How could there be a better fit than Ryan.
He is everything you could want in a youth pastor....but i guess he just doesn't "Fit" what ever the f*** that means. The church has no idea what they are losing. The Sunday that he tell us it is his last sunday is the sunday where there are more kids than ever before (easily 200 strong).
But i guess he just isn't doing his Job.

How?

Isn't that what they want?...more kids to come I mean it isn't exactly " Come To Merge or Go to Hell.org" but i mean we are making a difference in the community and around our campuses.

Why do things always happen at the most inopportune time? i mean i know that God has a reason for everything, I don't doubt that in the least but I just want some answers. I know that wherever he ends up going he impact that church in ways that they will never imagine...but will he "FIT"?

In the end the impact that Ryan Guard had at Cornerstone will not change. He got the movement going but now we have to follow up on it by relying on God and putting our energy back into the youth group to keep it from falling apart otherwise what good will come out of what he did here.

But how could something that seemed so good collapse so fast?
