It's all Greek to me:)

Last night was Greek class:) For the last couple weeks I have been completely in a fog and did not understand anything!!!(It's taken me 26yrs to figure out English and I still don't fully understand!) Anyways... this week we learned about verbs. So far we learned about the Tense and the voice. It was so cool:) By just "Parcing" different parts of speech you can totally understand God's word better!!!
Pastor gave us this handout on romans 10:9-13 with the Greek written first, then the exact english, and the parcing underneath.
If you take the verb for "might trust" (I can't write the Greek) underneath it says: V2SAAS that means that it is a verb in the second person, aorist tense, active voice, and I haven't learned the mood yet. Anyways... If you think about second person that means "you" and then aorist tense means a simple past action. or a snapshot of the past. It also has an active voice which means that the subject does the action.
So if you look at the word it means that it is something we are suppose to do once(a simple past action) meaning that trusting in Christ for salvation is a one time thing. Like a photo of you throwing a ball, you threw a ball once, the picture was taken, and then the action was done.
Anyways... I don't know if I am making any sense to you, might be the "fog":) There are other examples that I have but I won't bore you with them:)
I just was excited that I finally understand why Greek is so important and I am excited about it again:) It may be totally overwhelming but it is worth it if I can understand God's Word better:)

I'm turning over a new leaf...

Really... I am:) I am going to try to keep up with my writing. I just have been so busy that I can't seem to find the time.
I've had a lot on my mind lately and thought that writing it down would help me sort through it.
I have a couple of friends that as of late have completely abandoned anything that is remotely Godly. They are living the brittney spears, paris hilton party life and seeming to enjoy it very much. What I don't understand is that these friends are professing Christians and their actions don't seem to bother them. I know that we have free will and that we can choose to do whatever it is that we want to do, but where's the Holy Spirit in all of this??? It seems to me that If I was living that kind of lifestyle I would be very miserable and my consience would bother me alot... What about Romans6?
Then I thought about my life and my reasoning for not living that lifestyle and what I come up with is that I fear the consequences. I've always been the one to "preach" against "fire insurance" but maybe I fall into that category??
How do I get from the, "I'm scared of the consequences" to "I love God so I choose to please Him instead"??
I don't know if I'm making any sense, but this is something that I have been dealing with lately.
The questions that keep running through my head are:
Do I really love God?? How much do I love God??? Am I showing it????

I'm on my way out!!!

Yay!!! I'm on my way out:) Only 5 more days til my new job starts!!! I'm soooooo excited:) I went there Thurs. nite and got to feed Erin and play with her. The kids are so cute. The parents are awesome too. I just pray that God will use me somehow in this family.
