Daily Devotions with Kwok Choy (#7)

WOW!!! 1 WEEK ANNIVERSARY OF DAILY DEVOS!

Well today's devotional is based off Genesis 37-50 (Pretty much The Story of Joseph)

Wow... yesterday we saw how bad of a relationship Jacob had with Esau, Jacob eventually had to run away!
But today, it gets worse.

Joseph (from what I interpreted was a bragger, "Hey guys, guess what? When I grow up y'all are going to bow down to me") was a nuisance to his brothers, not only was he a nuisance, he was his father's favorite.

There is nothing wrong with being someone's favorite. It's what you do with that "privilege" that make people dislike you. If you go around with your head held high, that's not good...

Joseph's brothers hated him so much, so they went as far as try to kill him, but they decided to sell him into slavery instead (oh that's so much better)

After that Joseph was a good boy. He served his master so well, he was head of the slaves, and he continued to be good and trusted in God, but then he got into some trouble when the wife lied.

Well then Joseph went to jail, Pharoah promoted him, and he helped save Egypt!

Well the moral and my thoughts?

Trust in God! That's what Joseph did!

Daily Devotions with Kwok Choy (#5)

Today's devotion is off Genesis 13-19

(BTW I am only using devotional for reference, everything else is original)

Lot... Lot picked what he thought what was the good life.

(Big switch... need to pour feelings out)
My friend and I were reminiscing of our "group's" time previously.... Lot chose what he thought would be nice... But what I think would be the best, would (in my opinion) be to give money to the shepherds and collaborate. Friends are more important than fighting over for sheep. ( I didnt recall Lot ever back with Abraham after leaving) 


God is our friend, I wish I could feel the full extent of that friendship now, but I know I will feel it fully in heaven. Friends are kinda why people can go through school, why people are on the internet. Friends are lets face it, why we face the open world. (back to devos)


well tat wasn't all to irrelevant.
but here's a challenge: 
Challenge: Tell a friend that they meant a heck of a lot to you. (That will make a day, any day :) ) 


I will leave this devotion hanging so y'all (hopefully, its y'all don't know how much people view this) can fill in the blanks and "meditate" on it :)


THINK ABOUT THAT!


BTW: sry it was kinda short... had better things to do, like idk, talking with friends?


:P

Thoughts on my own...





Yes, I can think for myself... realized this today @ school... not really...


Reading some of my friend's blogs, (Nick, Ariel, Lisa) I saw different side of blogs.


Ariel's blog was about randomness and how awesome it can be... It included a few recipes, unfortunately my New Year's resolution was to eat healthy, (SO can't try it Ariel, sry) It had a very unique layout (jealous). overall great blog.


Nick was all about his personal journey of seeking the light of God and to me I for once saw a side of him I didn't quite know, but it wasn't a sad new side, I kinda like this part of Nick more. (he kinda needs a new layout)


Lisa's was pretty much all about food! (HEAVEN!!) I liked her blog a lot, but it was all deserts, and NO DESERTS FOR ETHAN!!! >.<!


Me being a non-original, jk, person I wanted a mixture of all these kinds of blogs... to show a side of me, to uplift awesome and random ness and to include food (THAT I CANT EVEN EAT!!!) SO YEAH


Here are there links:

P.S. I didn't quite get permission from 2 of the people (YAY ARIEL) 2 post their sites, but enjoy them


P.P.S When Nick says strange readers, I realized probably only me, lydia, and ariel had actually read the blog... so haha we're strange now...
