Rant?

It bothers me that as Christians we're so quick to judge not just the world but eachother. It drives me CRAZY! People become so legalistic about things and start to feel as though it's their job to judge others. Whenever you feel the urge to judge others because they talk a certian way, dress a certain way, etc. why not go to the bible which clearly says "I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die." ~ Galatians 2:2

I tried to earn Gods love essentially by only wearing skirts...stupid right? But I followed that trend and became friends with girls just "like me". I start wearing jeans and then boom they're gone. People started dropping me as friends, the funny thing is that it was the ones from online that were all about God's love.

Thankful ~ Day 5

I'm thankful for God's creation. Especially the beauty that I'm surrounded by here at school.



Thankful ~ Day 4

I'm not gonna lie, I'm thankful for the Japanese friends I've made while here at college. They're always pushing me to follow the dreams that God's given me....and yes even if that means I end up not going to Japan lol

Don't be niave.

Don't be niave.

I know it's easy to nto want to think about those that are lost, maybe you feel comfortable where you are and don't want to branch out, or maybe you're dealing with something in your own life so you figure you aren't 'right with God' enough to talk to others about Him.

I stood there in Bronx, NY. Watching police cars, ambulances, and cars fly by. It was my second day on OAE (open air evangelism). We had finished eating lunch at a park and went back to the street we were assigned to. That morning I had talked to a man who identified himself as an Agnostic for half an hour and I was pumped to talk to others. I crossed the street to the bus stop and struck up a conversation with a man. I saw his bus rounding the corner and I knew I had 5 seconds, 10 tops and so I asked him if he knew who God was.....

He said no.

Let me ask you something, how do you explain to a man who God is in 2.2 seconds? I dont' remember how the conversation ended except for the fact that I handed him an english and a spanish tract and he left. I turned around and with tears in my eyes watch dozens of people walking around and it hit me more than it ever has...

THEY.ARE.LOST

My view on the world has changed since that day.

God please use me.
