Most things I do I have a mission statement. Where I state what I am trying to do and I have realized that in 3 years of blogging not once have I made one. Never really had one. especially in the past year or so.
I thought and Prayed long and hard about it.
"Preaching the gospel of Jesus, with the word of God. Also to put original Posts that still reflect a religious attitude without taking away from who I am!"

1 Corinthains 10:13
"No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; But with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
I feel like I need to reflect with this blog on this verse. I know people need to hear this as much as possible also. So what is Paul saying in this verse. But we should look at who Paul is writing to.
a church in Corinth a group of early Christains. It was est. in the year 51 on Paul 2nd mission. After he est. it he looked after like a father to a child. It reavles much of early church life and Paul himself and his teachings.
1st lets look at it line by line
No trail has come to you but what is human.
This is saying very bluntly that what ever we sin is human and we are not the only ones who partake is such sin. So to go there lets just use the example of masturbation or lust in young men. I don't know one teenage boy sadly that hasn't struggled with this. Or one man that is not struggling with it. This also says Man women child is suppose to hold each other accountable. ( it might be a stretch but read between the lines).
God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength
This part I think is the meat of the verse the part we must pay the most attention to. Because how many times have you questioned weather God was helping you. I know I have, But you must pray pray pray for strength to conquer the sin. If its sexual pray to Mary and Joesph. They both were chaste especially pray to Joesph because he had a choice but he was Mary's most chaste spouse . Have him pray for your strength in this sin. Remember its not also ways sin though it could be anything that is adversity. But remeber God won't give you a trial you can't hadle so Pray to God for strenght.
Last part

The last part is also very imporant beacause it tell you what else God will do. He will give you a way to get out of the trial and it's not always sin either maybe it is that your grandma that you are very close to died it's a trail in your life. And he will provide you ways to get out of mouring of that grandma. Weather it's music or a new video game or a sport. Even pray (cough...cough).

Chosen,Broken,Blessed,Given,Taken
Sorry I missed all of you last week it was Hero's camp Queen of Heaven's vaction Bible school and on top of lifting running and spending time with loved ones. We learned about heroes of our catholic faith. This year we learned about Joshua, Paul who was Saul, Joan of Arc, Mother Thearsea, and the hero of all heroes, King of Kings, Jesus.
I relized one thing about these heroes, Joshua was Chosen, Paul who was Saul, was Broken then Blessed. Joan of Arc was Given, and Mother Thearsea was Taken to do Gods work. Beilve it or not we are also like these saints and old testement hero(s).
How are we CHOSEN:
At birth God gives us all the call, not like a baseball pitcher, calling the dugout saying ok Bob warm up your up. No, he sends us down to earth saying you are chosen by me go live for me!
We just have to listen to Gods call.
Now you may say how come some people who don't beilve in that don't beilve in God. Because that is the next point.
How can God just make us Broken:
Not only because he is God he
Paul and broke him in half. Now in my life I know have been broken. 1 Corthians 10:13 highlight that verse it says:
“No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.”
You might say Bobby what does that mean?
My question would be who wrote Corhtians? Clue it is an epsitle of the church
Answer Paul
So this man knows about being broken. I know in my life God though things like suicide not being happy with who I am death and sexual sins. Now for all you stuby conferance people, we should all use this verse because When we get back two things happean
1. satan gets in our face
2. God still tests us
I think the more retreats I go to this becomes more real. So the one thing we can do is PRAY PRAY PRAY. Sing praise or sit in quite and PRAY what ever works for you but we can't possiable go to a retreat every weekend and get that "Good feeling" personally I think thats a very chessey way of puting it. Here is a more theological way: we can't go to retreats every week that feeling of being a saint, sinless like Jesus and Mary (Mary only with out mortal sin) is very hard to keep going, we Have to pray........some people say that it's not the same we can always go to reconsialion and mass and Adoration. Next point how are we blessed.
How are we Blessed:
this one is more diffcult because as Catholics it happeans all the time, First Commuion, Confermation, whenever God wants to. But I think the better word is planned to because its all ready planned. Don't think God just wakes up, and like the grinch when Jim Carrey played him and the Grinch is in the mail room and has the people mail and goes jury duty jury duty black mail jury duty jury duty jury duty. He planned all this and gives us the free will when for this to happean.
How we are Given:
Jesus was Given for us so we could go to heaven but how are we Given. I think we give more. we give our time talent and treasure at church. We give time like the adoration chapel if you have and hour or if you have a day you go but your not signed up it still is giving time or a better one is say the church needs to be clean and you give your saturday moring to clean the church. Treasure, sunday collection or even leading a minstery we give time because you have to plan. Talent, leadership, having talent in a insrument. We are given though if your a parent you are given to your child.
finally TAKEN:
We are taken and loved by God. He loves us at birth but when we are taken It is the last stage if this was stages. God Takes us and says "hey do this for me." like he did with mother therasa.
In close remember we are Chosen at Birth, then God Breaks us remember 1 Corthians 10:13, after that he Blesses us, gives us and Takes us to do his work!
Praise God

Micah 7:8
Rejoice not over me, O my enemy! though I have fallen, Iwill arise; though I sit in darkness, The LORD is my light. Micah 7:8
What do these words mean?
Lets look at it peice by piece Rejoice not over me, O my enemy!
Micah is talking about the unnamed enemy of Judah Assyria or neighboring countries Edom, which profited at Judah's down fall
I think it is deeper than that though
Who is our enemy: not the kid down the street or Tallmagde thats not the deeper meaning.
our main ENEMY is The devil, satan, lucifer. He is standing in the darkness waiting for our sin.
NEXT: though I have fallen I will arise.
Now we have a thing called cofession where we can go when we fall into mortal sin and we can have that bruden taken off of us.
though I sit in darkness the LORD will be my light
This is saying that no matter how much sin we have we can go to THE LORD GOD and lift all that to him. and say Daddy i messed up please take this away from me lets start over.
though this isn't a reading for this week I thought some people might need to hear it
JESUS SAVES
