I read a great verse today that just brought a whole different look at the Bible for me, Now you need to understand I knew this to be true, and I love the Word but this passage once agian just strengthened that love and I have taped a piece of paper to the front of my bible with this verse on it. The picture above just reminds me of all the promises the word of God is filled with for you and I.
But back to that verse that I have taped to the front of my Bible it is found in Deut. 32:47 Moses has just finished singing a song and says to all Isreal in verse 46 "Set you hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe-all the words of this law. and verse 47 jumped off the pages to me for it He says " For they are not meaningless words to you but they are your life"
The world around us and many christians today are discounting the Truth of the Bible, They say to you and I that they are meaningless they say what we thought to be truth is no longer truth we need to re-think it. I say No!
No to this way of thinking, No,to the thought that there is no absolute truth, There is absolute Truth. Jesus Christ is the WAY the TRUTH the LIFE, He is my hope, my joy, my all in all
His WORD, is not meaningless THEY ARE MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

Choices

There are moments in life when you have to make choices. Sometimes these choices we need to make are easy and we know exactly what track to take. Other times it is hard to know which one to take. I have had these moments more than once in my life and I know that I will have many more. What do we do, How do we make the right choice? Who do I turn to for advice? These are the things that run through our mind, Often we look at the many diffrent tracks ahead of us and say they all seem good to me I could almost take anyone of them and be Blessed. Oh! Choices what would life be without them most likely really boring. But I was reminded recently as I have come yet to another point in my life where some choices need to be made of a verse that takes the fear and confusion away. It is found in Psalm 32 verse 8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye." It is great to know that we have a loving Father in Heaven who is there to help us along the way, It is also nice to know that He will instruct us and teach us in the way we should go we don't have to try to figure it out on our own He wants to help us but not only that He will guide us with His eye, the wonderful knowledge of his protection that comes with that. Our Great Shepherd teaching us and instructing us and watching over us as we go. So if you today or sometime in the future find yourself in the place I am in right now. Just remind yourself to stay focussed upon Him and follow His lead, He will help you and show you the track you are to be upon.


I was Tagged

Well, I was tagged. I know that it has taken me some time to get to this but here I go 7 facts about myself:

1. A moment in my life that I like to reflect upon often: Feb 20,1999. I am standing at the front of the stage at Calvary Chapel South Bay My brothers and two really good friends of mine are on my left my soon to be sisster in laws and two other good friends to my right, Pastor Steve behind me and the music begins. (the theme song from Forest Gump when the feather is falling) The doors open up and their being guided by her mother and father the most beautiful women I have laid eyes upon Anja the love of my life.

2. A moment in my life I do not like to reflect upon: I was a little guy mayby 5 years old, not able to say I don't want to go again to the mall with Grandma and Mom. Every weekend it seemed to the same old stores Sears and JC Penney. What is a young boy to do, what has he to look forward to but rows of clothes and jewlery. Oh wait I forgot the candy :) Oh yes the swedish fish.... Oh moments I do not like to reflect upon, yes my Grandma bought me candy and a balloon a goldfish balloon Oh was I so happy. We get home from the day of shopping and right as I was going into the house my balloon flew away my goldfish balloon flew away never to be seen agian, I was so sad :( I am still sad :( my balloon flew away.

3.
A moment in my life that I like to reflect upon often: July 18 2000 what a great day this is. It all started early in the morning 2am or so Anja wakes me up with the words it's starting go back to sleep if it gets worse I will let you know, So what do I do go back to sleep. I wake up knowing Today is the day our baby comes into the world, call work tell them I am not coming in and I wait, Anja at this point is in a lot of pain so we decide to go to the hospital, She is all smiles the nurses and doctor don't think she is that far along she is to realxed they say, they give us a room and examine she is 7cm dialated yeah the baby is coming soon. I did not get to watch to much my first child coming into the world, I was more worried about Anja turning the color purple in the pushes. But the moment they held my baby up and say it is a boy. Oh a moment I will never forget a blessing from heaven. Levi Ethan Hart.

A moment in my life I do not like to reflect upon: Anja and I were living in Montana expecting our first born Levi she was 6 Months pregnant. We were House sitting for our Pastor and His wife. On this day that I do not like to think about I drove to the Pastors house and my wife was not there, not unusal she has the other car, probably out shopping. Some time goes by and no word from her yet, I try calling our house thinking she is there checking our mail etc but no one is home, I began to worry. The moment I wish I would forget the phone call from a friend, no hello she is right to the point Anja is okay but you need to come we are taking her to the hospital. I hurry to mar car and drive the dirt road that is quicker to this house where Anja was and the second moment of the day i wish I could forget, I am driving on the dirt road and I pass the house where my wife is because I see our car on the ditch on the side of the road standing on the driver side. Praise God Anja and Levi were safe but defenitly not on the top of my list of days to remeber.

5.
A moment in my life that I like to reflect upon often: June 18, 2002 Our fridge was getting empty we need some food. So we packed up the car with Levi and made sure that we grabbed everything, It is a miracle if you can fit any groceries in the car after you have filled it with everything you need for your child. We went to Wallmart and walked around and then we went to Town&Country the gorcerie store we went too. I got the cart put Levi in and Anja and I started to the fruit, She started to bag some apples I think when she said Uh Oh! and rushed off to the bathroom a few seconds later she comes to me and says "My water Broke" we left the cart, almost hit a lady in the parking lot, dropped Levi off at friends and went to the hospital again, This time I got to watch, Anja did not turn purple and Luca Enoch Hart came into the world not head first but hand first, I remeber all of us doctor, nurses, myslef saying "there's the head" and then "where did it go" and out came this little hand followed by the head and the rest What a great day. God has blessed me with two wonderful boys.

A moment in my life I do not like to reflect upon: I was in Jr.High at Gateway Fellowship it was a private school. We all had to wair uniforms etc. But that is not the moment I want to forget. It was towards the end of the year and we had a talent show. The whole school was there, Why I did this I do not know and wish I never had, but a friend and myslef got mops took them off the sticks and spray painted them black then we got his tape of Milli Vanilli and sang "Blame it on the Rain" I am so glad that there is no pictures out there nor a video to my knowledge out there somewhere but oh the picture in my head scares me everytime I think of it. I want to forget this ever happened.

A moment in my life that I like to reflect upon often: Sept. 9 2004 This is the day that Anja, Myself, Levi and Luca landed in Germany. This was and will always be a great day for me, since the age of 13 I have wanted to be a missionary, I have always felt that I would one day be in Europe to fulfill that calling. And on Sept. 9 2004 the journey began. It has been tough and rewarding and all worth it. God has shown me so much these last 3 years about myslef and ministry and I look forward with anticipation the many more years that The Four Hart's will have on the mission field. Thanks for the prayers and support.


I know that I am suppose to tag 7 more people but then I would be tagging all of you guys again so I am not too sure what I ought to do, I will see if I can get 7 other people to tag until then have fun reflecting with me on the good memories and making fun of me on the 6. point that I do not want to relive.
