Quitting Facebook and Mobile Internet

Within the last month, the Lord has shown me that there is way too much noise in my life. This is a reason why I am not being used by the Lord effectively. He has shown me through several people that Facebook and the Internet was creating too much noise in my life. But what is noise? The Hebrew definition for noise is: rua: to raise a shout, give a blast. It seems that as I go throughout my day, a lot of things that I do are useless to Heaven. This means that if I am just playing computer games then what is the Lord going to get out of computer games. Nothing! This is why I need to get noise out of my life so I can be more effectively used by the Lord.

This is why I am going to give up Facebook. Someone told me that I should keep Facebook in case I really need it to do something which I am giving much thought to. I also gave up internet on my cellphone. There is no point of having internet on my cell phone except to waste my time. If I needed to use it for business, I can just find a Wifi hotspot. I encourage you to think about what kind of spiritual noise is in your life and if you don't know then pray about it.

Mission 25 trip to Detroit

I finally got to typing out the update for the Mission 25 trip. It was a blast!

While I was heading to Detroit, I stopped by Moe's southwestern grill. They are big competitors against Chipotle. Go and see for yourself why!

Passed under a cool bridge as I was nearing Detroit.

Saturday morning, the 19th, we went to the streets of Detroit. We all went to this one street where there were hundreds of homeless people. We started giving out homemade apple and carrot juice. We also gave out Starbucks coffee, bananas, bagels, and more. We also got to know a lot of them.

During that time, the Lord led me to a person named Dee. We all went to a buffet in a casino which is too funny! I took Dee to the buffet and we had a blast. I talked to him about the Lord, baptism, and the Holy Ghost! He understood the difference and he wanted to get baptized. So some of us took him to a nearby church to get baptized. After he got baptized, he felt so happy and had a glow on him! 

While we were going to a youth center, we past this big house that looked like a dump. Truly sad!

Bro. Maddix giving out free ice cream to children in need.

While we were at this Youth Center, I met this guy who was one of the heads of the Youth center. He felt truly thankful, because the Mission 25ers fixed their basketball hoops which were broken. They also gave them lots of gifts and gave them tons of pizza.

We went to a different apartment complex to give children ice cream and gifts. We also played kick ball with them. The people at the low income complex were truly thankful for the Lord working through us!

This is Dee getting baptized in Jesus Name!

This is the weirdest insect I have ever seen! It never attacked us either.

Me and my friend which is in a picture below went to a Mediterranean place, and I ate an exotic food. I had  a Lamb Tongue wrap! The meat was soft and hard at the same time. It tasted like lamb that was soft. :)

There are truly amazing people in this world like the guy below. *Name disclosed*

The Master Mechanic

A few weeks ago I bought a 1996 Honda Accord, and I went to get a compression test on the engine to see how the engine was doing. My mechanic told me that the score came out to be 90 which is a very bad score for the engine. I prayed and talked to the Lord about my car and what am I going to do. The Lord told me not to worry about it. I then asked the Lord to raise the compression score up so my car doesn't die in a year. I did another compression test on my car with another friend helping me because I would like to learn how to repair my own car. The compression came out to be 120! I could not believe it. The Lord fixed my engine in my car. He doesn't just heal people, he can heal cars.

I can now call him the Master Mechanic!

Received my first DBA certificate

I am so excited that I received my first DBA (Doing Business As) license! This license is for my business so I can make it an official business. Help me Lord to make this business successful and reach my ultimate business goals. I also want to thank you because of the people that you are bringing into my life to help me!

Learning to become Selfless!

It all started in January. I started rebelling against the Lord! I wanted things my way. I wanted to eat good food. I wanted to do whatever I want. I gave into my Gaming addiction again where I play computer games for hours on end. Then, it all started crashing down on me. I was sad, and I saw less and less of others and my family.

Then in late June, I decided to just give up and hand my life to the Lord again. I found out that when you fast then addictions start to break. When you seek the Lord then everything around you starts to become nothing because you love the Lord so much. Everything except human beings. But, I was still full of myself.

What can make a person be full of them-self? It is when they stop caring about other people around them and do things their way. You know, I have this bad habit of being late to things. I would be late to church, hanging out with my friends, and even late to my families house. But, I decided that enough is enough! I want to stop this being late habit. I always hate it when I late. It just brings stress up, and also makes me sad. So, I decided to work on a habit of not being late. It is because I need to care about people more, and to become more selfless.

I also want to start thinking about ways to help other people. This reminds me of some very good friends of mine that are in Arkansas. This family that I met are like totally selfless. They really care about other people so much that it either makes you feel bad that you aren't being selfless enough, or it will motivate you to become selfless.

This is why I attended Mission 25! I attended it to learn how to become selfless like Jesus did. I want to just go to the street, find someone, and give to him so much that he is willing to be filled with the Holy Ghost. This is my desire and I want to do the Lord's will!

Mission 25 Chicago Pictures

We juiced several gallons of carrots and apples to give to the homeless Saturday morning!

We took the homeless out for breakfast

Went to Englewood to give free ice cream to to kids

I will always remember this guy! Bro. Maddix gave me a challenge. He told me to find someone in the next 10 minutes who wanted to be baptized. The Lord led me to James who later on was baptized in a public pool in the middle of Englewood!

We went to a homeless shelter which the name is withheld. We gave them fans, remodeled their yard, made a new stone path to their yard, and much more! God had filled around 3 with the Holy Ghost and 3 were Baptized in Jesus Name!

First Missions Trip

I was on my first missions trip! It was right here in Chicago.

I am also starting to blog on here and not use Facebook for my pictures, etc.
