Maranatha Maranatha Maranatha!
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. -Galations 5:23
I have come to the realization that I love God sooo much! I have never felt God everyday in such a strong way as I do now! It is amazing what God can do for a person, how he can transform people is completely miraculous. I have never been so happy in my life. Maranatha Maranatha!! It really amazes me how Christians can be so segregated. I do not understand. I got into a discussion this weekend and realized that there is so much segregation and HATE –YES HATE—in our churches. LOVE LOVE LOVE! I don't understand how a God loving Christian can sit around and judge because he/she does not have the same man made standard as another Christian. Are we not all serving the same God?!!!!!!! There was an incident last week that made me realize that some "oh too holy Christians" are truly hateful. SO here is to you- God bless you! Can we not be forgiven unless we forgive? I guess the last couple of weeks have made me realize that God is so much bigger than man! Who are we to judge?! God is so much bigger than an organization!!!!! God is love—why do we enforce his love with such hate?? This whole idea of judging because you are do not believe the EXACT thing is sooo dumb. It makes me so mad. You know what i cannot do anything about stupid people and as hard as I try I cannot change the world. I guess I have the beauty queen idea that there is hope for peace in this World. How can that ever happen if the "most loving" Religion based on love can not get along.
Galatians 6
Doing Good to All
1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5for each one should carry his own load.
6Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Only 38 more days

Wow, it has been a REALLY really long time since I last blogged! I don't know why I love to do it when I have time. Only 38 days until I leave!!!! I have never been so excited about a thing in my life. I am going to work with an orphanage called Friends of the Orphanage and Libraries of Love. I am working with Invisible Children here in Austin -so I am hoping to go to Gulu, where the child soldiers are. This passion is eating me alive! I am so happy about what God is doing in my life. His ways are so great and he has open countless doors!
