Determination

Vol 5

Shalom, God has blessed us with another beautiful day. To work for the Kingdom we need to have determination. This is a struggle for me just like the other topics I have been writing about.

Let’s go for a walk together…

Determination.

Saturday I woke up and I thought there was woodcutting but I couldn’t get a hold of anyone. So I went out to do some errands for my pad and buy some clothes. I was in Silverdale and just out of JC Penny. I felt like doing something creative to rekindle my youth I went out looking for a model airplane. I first went to Joann’s they had nothing, then I walked over to Rite Aide, I walked in and looked for the aisle but couldn’t find it. The lady at the front asked me if I needed help, I told her I was looking for a model airplane. She had a look of confusion and strangeness to her. She most of thought I was from another place and time. She said she didn’t think so. I looked around anyway found nothing. So then I went to Toys R Us and imagined this place as hell. Awful colors everywhere, kids running around, I got out of their quick. Again I was stopped at the front. The lady asked me “can I help you find something?” “A model airplane” I told her. She was cute and her hair was bright red, she had a look of angels. “We don’t carry those, sorry, good luck with your search” “thanks” I said with a smile. I walked out and stood their trying to think of a reason to go back in there to talk to her. I didn’t I wanted this stupid model airplane. I got in my truck and headed north to Highway 3 to the Super Wal-Mart in Poulsbo. This place had rednecks everywhere! My type of people I tell you what. I went in and found no model airplanes. I walked out by this time I was hungry and I haven’t ate anything. I went to Mc Donald’s to get some grub. The drive threw line was backed up so I went inside. The inside was crowded as well, ahhh! I screamed loud to myself. I ordered me a milkshake to calm my nerves and get me motivated for my quest. I jumped back onto Highway 3 back to Silverdale. My last stop was Michaels and it was getting down to the wire. The parking lot was an obstacle course people parked their rigs out in the middle of the lanes. I parked and got out. I walked in and I found my model airplane. As I was walking out some lady driving a blue mustang almost clipped me. Great I said to myself after all this trouble of getting this I’m going to get hit. It would have been a glorious death.

The prophet Hosea had a weird calling. Gomer his wife, left him to become a prostitute, God commanded Hosea to love and watch over her as she pursued her heathen desires. Hosea had to suffer the humiliation of his wife getting busy with other men. She even ended up selling herself into slavery. Still Hosea followed his wife around, secretly taking care of her, paying for her needs from behind the scenes; he even bought her back after she became a slave. Hosea’s life became a reflection of God’s undying and self-sacrificing love to Israel, and ultimately to us. The prophet’s determination to love no matter the cost demonstrates just shows how endless God’s love is for you and me. God gave him the strength to rise above their circumstances and he will do the same for us. We need only trust in Him for true power, resolve, and grace.

Well there you have it, I believe that these walks that we went on will benefit your works with God and help you as a person. I’m moving on to other things which I don’t have a clue. God willing, I’m going to wander threw the wilderness to see what He has in store for me. It is going to be a long trip full of sorrow, pain, death, happiness, love, honor… redemption. God bless you, I love you and may he bless you in whatever you do. 08 is looking great!

Awesome creation baby!

I took these cool pictures when I was trying be pro picture guy at Pac Beach last weekend, I didn't even realized that the bird was in the picture!

Real men cry and if you don't your a wuss.

Last weekend I went to a men's fellowship that Charles Summers hosted. Only a certain few were selected. The topic was about evangelising to benefit the Kingdom. It was deep and you could feel the bond that each of us had. I could feel it deep in my soul. On Saturday night we had prayer requests and everyone shared what was on their heart. A couple of men cried an opened up and shared their thoughts. These men were tough guys too, it was awesome. Real men cry and if you don't then your a wuss. I was in shock because some of these guys were really strong warriors. I broke down before my confession to the church was said. I cried in front of some strong dudes. David and Jesus cried.

"As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes."-Luke 19:41-42. Our Maker of Heaven and Earth who made the rushing rivers of life, cried! A Man who was crucified on the cross and washed our sins in blood, cried! The reason Jesus wept was that his patience was no more. He would bless them no more. He would destroy everything and pick people off. It was death upon death all because they did not know that this was the True Messiah. What a bunch of fools! They would not receive Him. They rejected Him. They crucified Him.

Just Work, Just Work

"All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty."-Proverbs 14:23

"He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty."-Proverbs 28:19

I love my job, I get paid to sit on my butt to deliver parts to businesses. I get to talk to people everyday and BS. I don't sit in a cubicle all day, I love it! I don't make that much, I thank God every night for blessing me with work. I bust my hump at work, I'm always staying busy. I try to have a Christ like attitude at work but I struggle. My co-workers like working me with me, I get a lot of compliments about my performance. My co-workers are cool (besides a couple) they make work fun! One of my managers told me that I could work hard as long as I want to but it wouldn't matter because they wouldn't pay me more. He didn't mean anything wrong with that all he was saying was that our company is tight with their money. I'm not in it for the money I'm just their to support myself.

Montgomery Gentry says in their song "something To Be Proud Of" you don't have to make million just be thankful to be working. 2 years ago when I was working for the Conservation Corps in the Olympic National Park. I was making not that much, I was doing hard manual labor but it had benefits to it. My crew and I made some cool stuff and did some traveling. I made some close bonds. This job was only for a year and it was the coolest! In the beginning I was lazy and in the end my character and work ethic was stronger. I believe that if you work hard you will be a success. Colin Powell started sweeping floors and later became Sectary of State! I have a co-worker who is a slacker and everyone notices it. I want to cuss him out and put my foot in his you know what. But I just ignore it. I always try to put myself first at my job, and people are starting to rely on me more which is cool, I learned something new today at work! It was just a small easy topic but it was awesome to me!

So I remind myself every morning it is all meaningless in the end, I don't need to make million, a big house, drive a Ferrari, and order a latte cream non-fat mocha french vallina coffe black grande. I just need to work to survive. And God willing I want to make a sucessful life for myself.

Hello, I'm a sinner.

I have stolen things, deceived people, snorted cocaine, been drunk way too many times, committed adultery, been to strip clubs, and walked out on people. All of this when I'm saved, How about you?



"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. Because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace."-Romans 6:1-14.

I stand in awe of God right their. This scripture means more to me, now more than ever. God's love for us is amazeing, we die and given another chance at life. Everyday is a new day, yesterday is history. On 3/2/08 I died and started living finally! We are going to be found out sooner or later. Me, I was tired of running, I confessed to the church, the only friends that I have. I thought they would not want anything to do with me. The night before I was looking at churches. I'm a moron! With open arms they loved me and they never left. This sin of deception that I was living was tearing my soul. I had enough, I risked it all and asked God's mercy on me as I told my confession. Eveyday is a beautifal day my friends. 08 is looking great!

Encouragement

Vol 1

Shalom… This is my first issue! I’m totally stoked that you get to read it to! How awesome is that! What is so awesome is that we can grow together to benefit the Kingdom of God. You mean a lot to me and if it wasn’t for some of you I wouldn’t be doing this. 08 is great!!
Lets go for a walk together.

Encouragement:
Barnabas which means Son of Encouragement. It was an appropriate name because he was an encouragement to all who knew him. There were thousands of Jews in Jerusalem who were converted on the day of Pentecost and the days following. They had not come prepared for an extended stay in the city, and yet many of them stayed on to hear him preaching. Their money was used up, and they became poor and in need. Peter who was given the keys to the kingdom by God, was the one who first preached to the Gentiles. But, it was Paul, who God chose to be his special preacher to the Gentile nation. When he was a new convert, Paul went to Jerusalem and tried to contact the believers there, but they were afraid of him.
What if he was just pretending to be a believer in Christ? What if he was really just trying to find them and arrest them?
Barnabas saw what was happening. He himself had the trust and respect of the believers, and he thought Paul was sincere. If he introduced Paul to the apostles in Jerusalem, the others would accept him. That's what he did. Barnabas told them how Paul had been converted and how he was now preaching about Jesus. The church accepted him, and he was able to stay in Jerusalem. Then bad dudes began to try to kill Paul and the brothers sent him to Tarsus. Later Barnabas would go to Tarsus looking for Paul again. He found him and brought him to the city of Antioch and the two of them preached in the city for a whole year. God sent Paul and Barnabas to Cyprus to preach. There they met a false prophet named Elymas He was an attendant to the proconsul, the government official. He opposed their preaching, and Paul called him a child of the devil and told him that he was going to be blind for a while. Immediately he became blind and started looking for someone to lead him around. The proconsul was amazed and believed the teachings of Paul and Barnabas. The Holy Spirit directed the work of Paul and Barnabas , and they traveled to many cities preaching the good news about Jesus. In the city of Lystra, Paul worked a miracle in which a lame man was able to walk again. The heathens of that city thought they were gods and prepared to offer sacrifices to them, but Paul and Barnabas rushed out shouting that they too, were human and were trying to get them to worship the true God. Barnabas was not one of the twelve apostles, but in this instance he is called an apostle, because he was sent by God on a special mission. John Mark, his cousin, traveled with Barnabas and Paul to some of the cities, but he deserted them in one city and failed to continue the journey with them. This incident would later cause a problem because Barnabas wanted to again take John Mark with them, but Paul refused to take him. There was sharp disagreement over the matter. Paul was unwilling to take a chance on John Mark, but Barnabas, always ready to encourage, wanted to give his relative a second chance. They settled it by parting ways. Barnabas took John Mark with him to the island of Cyprus, and Paul took another preacher, Silas with him through Syria. They agreed on this compromise and God's work continued. There is an sign that Paul and Barnabas worked together again, and in his letter to the Colossians which was written from prison, Paul mentions the fact that John Mark is with him, and he tells them that if John Mark comes to the church, they are to welcome him. Barnabas was truly the Son of Encouragement who always looked for the best in people, and his faith in them
was rewarded.

We all need to be encouragers to others. We need a larger number of Barnabas-minded people. The challenge is before us. Scan the landscape for the outlaws, the overlooked, the rejected. Look for someone who has failed and is discouraged. I know it is hard but what do we got to lose? You are probably saying “I’m uncomfortable” good, so I’m I. I love you all.

Strength and honor,
Hutcharooski
