God Speaks in Unexpected Ways

I've been watching Kyle-XY over the past few days/weeks, and something has been standing out to me. Something I (like Kyle) could not understand. God speaks to us in amazing ways and this was one of his ways through the Kyle-XY series I have on DVD and the remaining ones i had not got as yet which I watched via youtube.

I guess you can call me a Kyle (short for Kyle-XY) freak, but hey, it could come in good use sometime. I sat back thinking about how much the creators of this revealed a sense of godliness in their movie. For me, movies somehow reveal something new about my faith. God has an amazing plan for us all, and I know he is not yet finished with me.

God spoke to me immensily through this film, see for years and years I have not read my bible. Sure, I have read the Bible during the sermon (via the PowerPoint displayed on the screen), but never actually sat down and read it. Also, for a few months now, I haven't been praying before bed (as I used to) until I started watching the Kyle-XY series (a bit weird, eh?).

You see, in some points, we as humans can relate to Kyle while the enemy out there Satan (in Kyle's case the Ladnok) is out there attacking. See, Satan tries to attack from every corner, sometimes succeeding, other times failing, but if we don't believe in the truth, he succeeds. In Kyle-XY, he likes a girl called Amanda (played by Kirsten Prout), and yet somehow he had a connection with this Jessie (Played by Jaimie Alexander). In some cases, you could relate to Kyle's situation and actually feel sad for him.

He eventually found out that he and Jessie were a match, yet he still liked Amanda. See, in life we have these struggles, probably not relationship ones, but each and every one of us has struggles. I pray that all those facing struggles will overcome them, and that I can just like i pray others can, grow stronger in their relationship with God.

God Bless, Andrew

Living Proof: The Power of Prayer

The school I work at has a weekly Chapel Service (think of it as a mini youth church service). Below is what I had written down (I paraphrased some of it in person, but it's still a powerful message). God did, and still can do miracles, and there is POWER in prayer! God bless! Andrew

Whenever the Lord Needs Me

Photo by Griest Projects on Unspash.com. As I write this blog entry, I am at my desk, on my laptop, waiting for phone calls at work. Not a single call for an hour. This morning at 9:29am, my uncle called me from down in Bunbury. I picked up the phone, happy I was at work on time and happy I would get to see Poppa down in Bunbury this weekend. My uncle explained to me that Poppa had passed away about 5-10 minutes ago (it would have been 9:20am then). We spoke for a few minutes, then hung up as he went to notify more family. Immediately after the call, I started sniffling, and my colleagues asked if everything was okay. I then balled into tears and explained what news I had been informed. I am thankful to God for my Poppa. He was someone I held in high regard. It was clear he loved his Lord and would do anything for Him. Something Poppa used to say to us all before he went into a nursing home was these words (ad-lib) Whenever the Lord needs me, he shall take me. When I pass away, I will ...

More Than a Gold Medal

Who remembers that saying, “It’s not about if you win or lose, it’s about how you play the game”? Well, I have been watching the Olympics the last few weeks, and unless someone got gold, it was deemed to be a ‘failure’. I find it rude. All throughout school we are taught that it’s not about winning, it’s about having fun, but now we get taught unless you win you are a failure, what the? It is great that God accepts us as his children for who we are; no matter how much bad stuff we have done in the past, God forgives and forgets. Something that we as Humans find hard to do is forgive people for wrongdoings. People in my lifetime have done wrong to me, and I have forgiven them because I feel that if I do not forgive them, how could God forgive me? My family and I as your aware (if you have been reading my entries) had a problem at one church, which resulted in my family leav...
