Wow. God is pretty much freakin awesome.

So yeah... I was writin in my prayer journal tonight... and like.... I gotta be honest, I really don't read the Bible much. I try to write in my prayer journal everyday tho. So like, I've always known I should read my Bible, blah blah blah, but I never really got around to it. So tonight I kinda felt lead to read the Bible. Dunno why it was tonight. So it was funny... basically I flip through random pages in the New Testament, and I come upon this:

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

I've read this a hundred times in church, at school, heck, in the first grade I memorized this whole thing for the speech meet. The main thing that caught my eye was the last half of verse 17. Take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. So I get this picture of like... this soldier guy runnin around like a chicken with his head cut off, without a weapon. Just a shield. Then I think, wait a sec, tha'z not very good in battle I suppose, eh? I mean sure, he can defend himself and stuff, but as far as advancing into enemy territory, he's pretty much useless. So ya, I'm pretty sure I'll be readin my Bible a hecka lot more. And it didn't end there either! I continued to read outta 2nd Thes and stuff, and I got a buncha other good stuff too! Stuff like be patient with people (not a habit of mine), respect those in authority, consider everyone above yourself (walk in other peoples shoes... again, not a habit of mine), and a buncha good stuff like that. I looked up, and before I knew it, a whole HALF HOUR had gone by! I was like, whoa. I jus got into this! So ya, I figured I'd hop on myspace and tell yall how AWESOME I AM RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eh... if any of you people wanna keep me accountable with readin the Bible... tha'd be cool! And I can return the favor if you'd like.
