What is the Cry of my heart?

2006-07-12T09:47:00.000+10:00

Psalm 143 (The Message)

Stretched out my hands to you,

as thirsty for you as a desert thirsty for rain.

Hurry with your answer, God!

I'm nearly at the end of my rope.

Don't turn away; don't ignore me!

That would be certain death.

If you wake me each morning with the sound of your loving voice,

I'll go to sleep each night trusting in you.

Point out the road I must travel;

I'm all ears, all eyes before you.

Save me from my enemies, God— you're my only hope!

Teach me how to live to please you,
because you're my God.

Lead me by your blessed Spirit
into cleared and level pastureland.

United Lyrics

2006-06-02T15:12:00.000+10:00

You stood before my failure
and carried the cross for my shame
my sin weighed upon your shoulders
my soul now to stand

So what could i say

And what could i do

but offer this heart
oh God

Completely to you

So i'll stand,

With arms high and heart abandoned

In awe

of the one

who gave it all

I'll stand,

my soul lord

to you surrendered

All i am

is yours...

Thanx to the Hillsong guys for these lyrics off the United We Stand Album, they have had big impact on me!

Rescued 2

2006-06-02T14:57:00.000+10:00

I called

You answered

And you came to my rescue

and i

want to be where you are

Rescue Me

2006-06-02T14:54:00.000+10:00

When i'm alone the world is such a different place

Sometimes its hard to keep that smile upon my face
Seems like i try so hard

But still i let you down

It's taken so long, but now there's one thing that i've found:

When everything starts crashing down

when all i know falls to the ground,

when darkness comes and i can't see

You're always there to Rescue me.

Wait

2006-05-22T11:26:00.000+10:00

Darling, did you know that I I dream about you

Waiting for the look in your eyes

When we meet for the first time

And darling, did you know that I I pray about you

Praying that you will hold

on And keep your loving eyes only for me

CHORUS: 'Cause I am waiting for, praying for you darling Wait for me too

Wait for me as I wait for you 'Cause I am waiting for, praying for you darling Wait for me too Wait for me as I wait for you Darling wait

Darling did you know I dream about life together

Knowing it will be forever

I'll be yours and you'll be mine

And darling when I say " Til death do us part"

I mean it with all of my heart

Now and always faithful to you

Now I know you may have made mistakes
But there's forgiveness,
and a second chance

So wait for me, darling wait for me

Wait for me Darling wait for me

Wisdom from a Catholic Man!

2006-04-15T10:26:00.000+10:00

On easter Fri, i was watching Tv, coz i wasnt able to go to church! (hope you all had a gr8 time).
I heard part of a sermon and it started to make me think.

It said "when Jesus took up his cross he knew that he would carry it to his death".

Do we view our Christianity that way, "to our death". How many Christians do you know that are truly willing to die for the cause of Christ???? Sometimes I know that in myself I haven't been willing to take my Christianity past my pride, let alone to my death.

What is every Christian did really "take up their Cross". what would the effect on our culture and planet really be?

Brothers and Sisters (also preaching to myself here, don't worry) lay down the flesh, and embrace the and your cross.

Todays word part 1

Ephesians is probably my fave book in the bible<
this is what i was reading today:

Ephesians 4:1-3
THEREFORE I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to live a life worthy of your calling, for you HAVE been called by God. 2 Be humble and gentle. BE patient with each other, making allowance for each others faults (my good friend Ulina would say things like this, she is so beautiful and clever at the same time!!) because of your love. 3 Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace.

I love this, it tells us to be in reationship with God and with people.
Will add more to this blog when i have more time.

Lots a Love People Of the world,
Jenna(h)

Evolution

2006-04-13T09:38:00.000+10:00

If evolution is "real" then Please Explain what emotions contribute to survival or to Natural Selection.

We have emotions because we are created in the Image of God to be in relationship with him.

I won't argue this, because i am right.

Genesis 31- Women who were ripped off, but who still know the promise of God over their lives and into their childrens lives

2006-04-13T08:50:00.000+10:00

Rachel and Leah said, "That's fine with us!

There's nothing for us here - none of our father's wealth will come to us anyway.

He has reduced our rights to those of foreign women.

He sold us, and what he received for us has disappeared.

The riches God has given you from our father are legally ours and our children's to begin with.

So go ahead and do whatever God has told you."

Nice God Lyrics #1 Brooke Fraiser

2006-04-11T11:58:00.000+10:00

I've been staring at the sky tonight,

marvelling and passing time

Wondering what to do with daylight

until I can make you mine,

You are the one i want, you are the one i want

I've been thinking of changing my mind,

it never stays the same for long

But of all the things i know for sure, you're the only certain one

You are the one i want, you are the one i want

I won't find what i am looking for

If i only "see" by keeping score

'Cos i know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'Cos If I add, if I subtract, if I

give it all try to take some back

I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact

that you are the Sum,

so you are the one

I want

When the years are showing on my face

and my strongest days are gone

When my heart and flesh depart this place

from a lif that song your song

You'll still be the one i want

You'll still be the one, I want

Authors Apology for his book (taken from 'The Pilgrims Progress' -John Bunyan)

2006-04-07T11:46:00.000+10:00

" When at the first I took my Pen in hand

Thus for to write, I did not understand

That I at all should make a little book

In such a mode; nay, I had undertook

To make another; which, when almost done

Before I was aware I this begun."

-John Bunyan "The Pilgrims Progress"

I had a dream Chapter 1

2005-10-14T09:56:00.000+10:00

This story is yet to be finished, it is kinda on a pause for the moment, so i apologise:

This is the dream that i had:

'I could see myself, and I got this word from God in my head that said "Orange 27"
Then My Youth Pastor comes up to me and says "Orange 27" right.
Then i look into my hands and there is an odd white dice-looking thing, so i keep turning it and then one of the sides has an Orange triangle with the number 27 under it, and under the 27 is the name of a high school in my local area (which we will call "Dream Highskool")'. ..

How cool is that!!!

So then i woke up and asked God what it meant and he slowly started to unravel it for me...................

Stay tuned for Chapter 2 of "I Had a Dream" it may take a while, but it will be worth it

Licorice All-sorts

2005-10-11T11:11:00.000+10:00

I was having a chat with the lovely Lu'isa and we decided that:

Humans are a bag of licorice all-sorts.

we are all different looking, and have different flavours,
But are made of the same things,

And in the end, we are all just licorice

The Crossroad Part 1

2005-10-04T00:05:00.000+10:00

I am at a crossroad, If i dont breakthru, I will fall down, and the people who depend on me will fall down too.

I was at a crossroads, not sure of where I should go, but then you spoke to me and now this is what I know;

"If Anyone would come after me, He must deny Himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it and whoever loses his life for me will find it."
Matthew 16:24-25

How this spoke to me:

I was wondering if i should still be in the Vision of my Church, I was thinking that the vision would consume me, what if i miss out on life by being in this vision. Others around me were questioning the Vision of my Church too, I was quite troubled by this . But then my leader called me and told me the following, she had no idea about what i was thinking, so it was a Holy Spirit move:

She said that Holy Spirit Told her about Queen ESTHER:
and how queen esther stood up for what she was passionate about, she risked giving up her life for her PEOPLE! She was willing to hand it over in order to save her family and her race_ Champion Woman!

Am i willing to be in a vision which appears to consume me (actually doesnt, sometimes we look at things through the eyes of oue emotions) if it will help save the people, my community, family etc.

My answer is Yes!

Hope this was a little thought snack for you.

Lots a Side hugs

The Princess Sword Story

2005-09-19T09:59:00.000+10:00

Hello all,
All what though (bumblebees maybe?)

Hee hee, My God is so awesome, let me tell you a story:

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess named Jenna,

One day she was entrusted to speak to a post-encounter class, (which at the time consisted of one student) on Knowing the Will of God and The Word--the fountain of life, both in one session, because she was outrageously clever, (she was also very modest too).

After teaching The Word, her King opened up the Word for her like never before, and she was getting the most amazing words of life from her Fathers writings.

But then an enemy hatched an evil plan to destroy the Princess. He was jealous that the Princess could spend as much time with she King as she wanted, and that he could not because he had tried to overthrown the Kings rule.

This was his scheme, he would play tricks on the Princesses mind to make her think that she was not worthy to sit in the Kings court, he figured that if she ran away from the King and his presence, that he could destroy her once and for all.

However, during this time, the workers of the Kings court had been learning some wisdom from the King and had been passing it on to anyone and everyone.

The Princess had been learning from them also because she trusted all of the workers in the Kings Court, and knew that they would only teach what they had been taught by the King.

A Senior worker and a worker in charge of the Kings Children, had learnt from the King that people can change their minds, that they don't have to accept every thought that comes into their minds, but that they have the authority to reject bad thoughts.

The Princess thought that this was very interesting, and she wrote it down and remembered it.

Then the enemy tried to strike the princesses mind with a wrong thought.

The Princess remembered what she had been taught by the Kings workers and
refused to accept this lie of the enemy.

Instead she went to her Fathers Court and asked him for a sword, to defeat this enemy with.

The King granted her request and gave her a sword. Inscribed on the sword were the words

"Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem, by the gazelles, yes, by all the wild dear: don't excite love, don't stir it up, until the time is ripe -and you are ready"

The Princess then went and found the enemy who was cowering in a small dark hole, and she pieced him with the sword, and he fled.

The Princess rejoiced and went to thank the King her Father for the sword he had given her.

Humans are silly people - well maybe just Jenna's

2005-09-06T15:07:00.000+10:00

I sometimes laugh at myself, really i do. Sometimes i do the silliest things, one of the more recent, but quite common reasons why i laugh at myself is the following, I ask God a question then are totally surprized when I get an answer.
Told you it was silly, Doesnt it say in the Bible, ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!
The other day i was reading Romans 9- that is an awesome bit of scripture, and it fully spoke to me about heaps of stuff

Anyway i have included it here so you can read it for yourselves!

Romans 9 (The Message)
God Is Calling His People

1At the same time, you need to know that I carry with me at all times a huge sorrow. 2It's an enormous pain deep within me, and I'm never free of it. I'm not exaggerating--Christ and the Holy Spirit are my witnesses. It's the Israelites . . .

3If there were any way I could be cursed by the Messiah so they could be blessed by him, I'd do it in a minute. They're my family.

4I grew up with them. They had everything going for them--family, glory, covenants, revelation, worship, promises, 5to say nothing of being the race that produced the Messiah, the Christ, who is God over everything, always. Oh, yes!

6Don't suppose for a moment, though, that God's Word has malfunctioned in some way or other. The problem goes back a long way. From the outset, not all Israelites of the flesh were Israelites of the spirit.

7It wasn't Abraham's sperm that gave identity here, but God's promise. Remember how it was put: "Your family will be defined by Isaac"? 8That means that Israelite identity was never racially determined by sexual transmission, but it was God-determined by promise. 9Remember that promise, "When I come back next year at this time, Sarah will have a son"?

When she became pregnant by our one-of-a-kind ancestor, Isaac, 11and her babies were still innocent in the womb--incapable of good or bad--she received a special assurance from God. What God did in this case made it perfectly plain that his purpose is not a hit-or-miss thing dependent on what we do or don't do, but a sure thing determined by his decision, flowing steadily from his initiative. 12God told Rebecca, "The firstborn of your twins will take second place." 13Later that was turned into a stark epigram: "I loved Jacob; I hated Esau."

14Is that grounds for complaining that God is unfair? Not so fast, please. 15God told Moses, "I'm in charge of mercy. I'm in charge of compassion."

16Compassion doesn't originate in our bleeding hearts or moral sweat, but in God's mercy.

17The same point was made when God said to Pharaoh, "I picked you as a bit player in this drama of my salvation power."

19Are you going to object, "So how can God blame us for anything since he's in charge of everything? If the big decisions are already made, what say do we have in it?"

22If God needs one style of pottery especially designed to show his angry displeasure

23and another style carefully crafted to show his glorious goodness, isn't that all right?

24Either or both happens to Jews, but it also happens to the other people. 25Hosea put it well ; I'll call nobodies and make them somebodies; I'll call the unloved and make them beloved.

26In the place where they yelled out, "You're nobody!" they're calling you "God's living children."
27Isaiah maintained this same emphasis:
If each grain of sand on the seashore were numbered and the sum labeled "chosen of God,"
They'd be numbers still, not names; salvation comes by personal selection.
28God doesn't count us; he calls us by name.
Arithmetic is not his focus.
29Isaiah had looked ahead and spoken the truth:
If our powerful God had not provided us a legacy of living children,
We would have ended up like ghost towns, like Sodom and Gomorrah.
30How can we sum this up? All those people who didn't seem interested in what God was doing actually embraced what God was doing as he straightened out their lives.

31And Israel, who seemed so interested in reading and talking about what God was doing, missed it.

32How could they miss it? Because instead of trusting God, they took over. They were absorbed in what they themselves were doing. They were so absorbed in their "God projects" that they didn't notice God right in front of them, like a huge rock in the middle of the road. And so they stumbled into him and went sprawling.

33Isaiah (again!) gives us the metaphor for pulling this together:
Careful! I've put a huge stone on the road to Mount Zion,
a stone you can't get around.
But the stone is me! If you're looking for me,
you'll find me on the way, not in the way.

The End....

Bottle Christianity +ve and -ve

2005-09-01T11:17:00.000+10:00

Hello Folks,

While i was spending some quality time with my creator, an interesting thought ran through my head. Am i a bottle Christian??

Let me explain:

A coke Bottle has the label "Coca Cola" on it (hope i am not infringing on any copyright laws here, not intentional) , to let people know the contents. I call myself a Christian so I am labelling myself as "Christian". So when people hear that i am a Christian, do they expect the contents of my life(my heart and attitudes etc) to be Christlike.

A diferent spin on the bottle Christianity is this:

A bottle has a lid on it, it had to be once filled though. How can a bottle of drink quench thirst if the lid is sealed? How can it be quenching when it is sitting on the shelf? Getting flatter and flatter.

How can a bottle be re-filled when the lid is on. How can it be poured out for another when the lid is on??

Yeah, this went through the brain of Jenna!

People purchase a coke for the contents not the label, (unless a promotion is on).
Hmmmmm.

Howdy Folks,
Isn't it funny how music can affect/effect (that word has always confused me) you so profusely.
 

The weird thing is that i have had to speak to a group of girls about the effect that media can have on an individual, yet it still messes with my mind.

I have come to the conclusion that no matter how big you think you are , or how much you can tell others about a certain topic, you must always be guarding your own mind and heart from it. 

Have a groovy-pie day and remember that Jenna means Special, not really, i just like how that sounds.
