Flood (by Jars of Clay)

22nd of February, 2008, by Cadu.

Rain, rain on my face
It hasn’t stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud

But if I can’t swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up – when I’m falling
Lift me up – I’m weak and I’m dying
Lift me up – I need YOU to hold me
Lift me up – keep me from drowning again

Living in the Community

17th of February, 2008, by Cadu.

For those who don’t know, I’m living in Redfern, where the Government has a lot of housing for people that can’t afford paying rent (or just don’t want to do it). I live in George Street, around here. And it has beeing a very good experience for me.

First, I live close to work, to church and to uni. I can go to any of those places by bike in less than 15 minutes. The further place I have to go regularly is Dave’s house, in Botany, but it’s still close. I can get there in about 25 minutes by bike if I ride dangerously. And the most important, I’m living close to the kids I disciple! And this is the best (and sometimes a not too good) thing about living here.

Despite the fact that in one month my two bikes got stolen (on porpouse, by people that know me), I’m enjoying it. And I know God has a plan for me in this place (otherwise I would be living very far away from here, where people don’t steal bycicles for “fun”). I know God will change this community, and He is using a lot of people to do this through the last years, and I’m very pleased for being part of such a privilege like this.

Please keep praying for this community, for the kids that live here and for me.
God bless you all! :)

Let your Light shine…

12th of February, 2008, by Cadu.

“And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it.”
John 1:5 (Amplified)

Even in the greatest darkness, the Light of Jesus shines, and the darkness has never and will never overpower it. The circunstances don’t matter. The crap doesn’t matter. Your family and background don’t matter. The attacks from the devil don’t matter. Everything is defeated when the Light of Jesus Christ shines!

Let your light shine! Let your light destroy the darkness! Let the Power of the cross, the one that lives inside of you, build the Kingdom of God and defeat the devil.

Let the Light of God, Jesus Christ, the Only and One God and Son of God, shine through your life!
