Okay so here's the deal. I've been hearing, seeing, experiencing a lot of junk that people are going through right now. It seems right now more then ever that Satan is trying to attack. I realize it's probably because we're in college. We're being tempted and surrounded by the world everyday (obviously...we live in it) BUT my heart is hurting sooo bad for those who are stuck in it. I doubt myself a ton though. I do that FAR too often. I get dissapointed in myself a lot. I always know I can be better, I can always read/write/pray/talk/share/evangilize and what not more but ultimately we just need to realize that the Lord loves us NOW, exactly how we are now. No arguement. I want this to be a way that we keep in touch and a safe place to share because we all have a common yearing to love on others and be Christlike as much as possible. I'm learning everyday what the means and it's tough. Always will be but "blessed are those when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you!" Luke 6:22. I want to challenge my heart and yours to seek Him with all you have EVERYDAY, whatever that may mean for that day, do it! Love others FAR more then you do yourself, always put their needs before yours and consider giving up something this week that you absolutley love and might put before HIM sometimes. I love what Matt Chandler said tonight about how as human beings we crave noise. If we're forced to be alone and quite we get uncomfortable and find ways to drown or numb that feeling instead of dealing with the uncomfortablness and growing! Sorry this is so long but my heart is desperately wanting things to change for this world, as are many people. If nothing else, pray. Pray like you're changing the world, because you can! Love.pray.hope and smile because you are way loved by an amazing father who's arms never close unles you're embraced in them! : )
