you say

For some odd reason people have it in their heads that being a Christian means that you should accept people and things the way they are. In reality, to do that is to completely throw conviction to the wind. Just because we are to love one another doesnt mean we have to love the actions. Yes we believe in forgiveness and yes we are supposed to help our neighbor but when our neighbor refusses to help themselves than you just need to let go. Yes we are to abide by laws, but when the laws go against God than of course you should NOT comply. for instance i do believe in the death penalty when it is needed, its a life for a life. God sent people to walk around whole cities (i.e.- Jericho) and destroyed them because they were full of evil. He didnt even spare the animals. Do i believe that you can choose to take an innocent life (abortion)? No of course not. Just because the baby was concieved out of inconvenient and/or undesirable circumstances doesnt mean you have the right to choose whether he or she lives or dies. And when it comes to same sex marriage. No i don't believe it should be legal and i dont believe that homosexuality is right. there are various scriptures in the Bible that confirm this. As a Christian we are not to just accept these things because of the "changing times". i will not conform just because someone else says its the right thing to do and/or its just popular. i never cared for popularity when i was younger and i absolutely do not now. I think its so funny when non-christians sit and quote the Bible to me out of context and only fit it where its convenient and then totally disregard anything else that was written, or when they tell me what and how a Christian should be or act. Obviously we are not perfect. We, just like you make mistakes, we hurt people, and choose the wrong paths, but getting back on track is whats important.


Dont put my God in your box and say this is how He is.

Casita Mujeres.

I havent written much on my trip to Honduras and I'm not exactly sure why. Here is my first attempt. The one outreach that sticks out in my mind and I'm sure everyone else's was when we went to CASITA MUJERES. It was a "home" for young girls from the ages of maybe 6-18. On this day Pastor Chace asked me if I would give my testimony. Now in my head I'm thinking "are you serious" but I of course say yes. This is my first time ever to give the story of what made me who I am today. That whole day I was so nervous, anyone who knows me also knows that I'm not one to really get nervous about anything. Just the thought of exposing who I am to a whole crowd of people including those from church and my siblings, it just made me feel vulnerable. Our bus is driving on down the road to our destination when we notice a traffic jam. Great it's already hot and sweaty and now there is no movement for the air to circulate through the bus. I guess it was exactl...

Insecure

For various reasons that don't directly deal with me, I have come to think upon a few things. I am speaking from a female perspective but I come to assume that insecurities seem to stem from the same type of problems. Everyday we deal with people who have a huge impact on us personally, people that we love, people who's opinions matter. When their persepective of us has been scewed in anyway we tend to take it to heart. It's human nature to take their words and feel them deeper than they should be. So when they speak of or to us in a way thats negative we will begin to perceive ourselves in a negative manner. Or when we come to find that those persons have done you wrong we begin to think there must be something I'm missing. Each and everything they do affects us. If a person cheats, we think; something MUST be wrong with us. If a person lies to us, we wonder why we were not worth the truth. What could we have done to prevent them from going off and doing us wrong? They...

i am not so naive

Sometime I wish people would learn not to underestimate me. When I want to get somewhere or get something accomplished I am very capable of doing so. Of course there are always limitations and set backs but I know how to push through it. I lived in a time where our money was tight and we had very little but we made it through.. Just because I am where I am today and don't look like i have ever had to fight my way out of the bottom doesn't mean anything. Looks can and are deceiving. Of course I don't believe in telling what most would call a "sob" story. I am not one who looks for a pity party.. But please know that I do know what it is like to go without in many aspects. I embrace that time in my life and it has taught me to be thankful of what I have. I will never forget it but I also will never return. Was it by choice and my own doing?? Of course not, who chooses to go without? Being born into it is one thing.. but staying in it is another. We all make decision...
