My Last Official Urban Life
Hey champs!
Dont you think WHAT IS was awesome?? The place was absolutely packed out and we didnt have enough seats, so much so that people were spilling over and into the aisle. The alter was too small and when alter call came, the front was just jam packed!
With that, it brings me to say thank you all so much for this journey that we've come along together as an urban life and all I can say is that you guys are really the best! I told myself that I mustnt cry at my last Urban Life with y'all but the goodbye hug from each of you girls made me crack under the pressure and I couldnt hold back. I cried because I love you all soooooo much. I cried because I'm so proud of you all, because I see so much potential in each and everyone of you. I cried thinking about how much God has ahead for each of you, how each of you legends would rise up and grow and grow and grow.
I asked Joanne why was I reacting this way - crying so much over leaving this urban life to join the rest in a pioneering urban life when really, we will still see each other. The reason she gave summed it all up in one very simple yet profound line - "
Because you love your Urban Life too much".
That hit me so much.
Could you imagine the same thing when God gave up His one and only son? The pain He must have felt to give up something so precious, the pain Jesus must have felt when He was asked to leave this earth by sacrificing Himself on the Cross and worst still, being mocked by people.
But you know what's the one thing in common?? It's for the sake of His Kingdom and His people. Jesus did it because it was for the sinners, the lost and His people. He stepped out of His comfort zone. And it's the same thing with me. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone because it's time to draw back the backsliden, the lost and the confused.
His Kingdom.
You all know that whatever it is, you know where to get me. (:
Love y'all to bits!

The Bible According to KIDS
The cute statements below are said to have been written by actual students and are genuine, authentic and not retouched or corrected:
In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, God got tired of creating the world, so he took the Sabbath off.
Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree.
Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark.
Noah built an ark, which the animals come on to in pears.
Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of fire by night.
Samson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah.
Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the Apostles.
Moses led the Hebrews to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread without any ingredients.
The Egyptians were all drowned in the dessert.
Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten ammendments.
The first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple.
The fifth commandment is to humor thy father and mother.
The seventh commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery.
Moses died before he ever reached Canada.
The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.
David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fought with the Finklesteins, a race of people who lived in Biblical times.
Solomon, one of David's sons, had 300 wives and 700 porcupines.
When the three wise guys from the east side arrived, they found Jesus in the manager.
Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate contraption.
St. John, the blacksmith, dumped water on his head.
Jesus enunciated the Golden Rule, which says to do one to others before they do one to you.
He also explained, "a man doth not live by sweat alone."
It was a miracle when Jesus rose from the dead and managed to get the tombstone off the entrance.
The people who followed the Lord were called the 12 decibels.
The epistles were the wives of the apostles.
One of the opossums was St. Matthew who was also a taximan.
St. Paul cavorted to Christianity. He preached holy acrimony, which is another name for marriage.
A Christian should have only one spouse. This is called monotony.
A cheerful heart is good medicine... Prov 17:22a (NIV)::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Disclaimer: I do not endorse any of these statements. I do, however, laugh at them. Join me, won't you?

2million?! O_o
As i was reading Numbers today...It came to My Realization that Moses led ~2million~ people out of slavery, into freedom..
2 Million?!?!?!? 2 Million?!?!? OMGosh!!!! my eyes almost popped out at the 'small' groups of people.,,like 60 000 people at least in each. O_o
And Sometimes We think 20 people is A Lot!!!! O_o Wow! that's missing a whole lotta zeros...
And Here is Moses oke! the man who came up with Many many excuses when God wanted to send him!
it's so Amazing! Imagine if One day..God calls us to lead 2 million people! i better get masking tape around my eyes so they don't Pop out!
awesome! =D
