  • i have this sick feeling in my stomach about the church tonight.
    why do people get so fired up and angry over other peoples opinions?
    i hate to see it in the body of Christ.
    you can bring correction in love, it doesn't have to be out of offense.
    it's painful to see. it's no wonder people walk away from the church sometimes.
    people get to grouchy about their opinions.
    it's like being right, is directly connected to their self worth.

    maybe people forget that others are on different levels of understanding,
    i think that's where patience comes into play.
    someones opinion, if it doesn't line up with yours, shouldn't have to feel like an attack on your value as an individual.
    if someone disagrees, it's okay. it really is okay.
    if they're wrong correct them out of love, not offense.
    it's okay to be wrong, it doesn't make you less, it just makes you wrong.
    it's all okay, you're still as awesome as ever!

    it seems like it can be worse with people in authority. i guess they feel like they have more on the line, their need for affirmation...is off the charts or something. challenge them, and they attack.

  • take your troubles solo

    This is really an interesting season in my life.
    I've never had so many relationship struggles.
    It's all so new to me, but i'm learning from it all.
    That's the only good thing about this season.

    I'm learning more about communication, might even be getting better at it.
    I've realized that not a lot of people know the art of communication either, so
    i don't feel so bad about being at a learning curve.

    I've been vegan for over a week.
    I'm actually doing a corporate fast with the church i am involved in.
    It's been such a good experience.
    And surprisingly it hasn't been as difficult as i imagined.
    I've noticed changes in my daily life- more energy, clear thinking, restful sleep...the list goes on and on.
    I may not want to discontinue this eating habit.
    It's proven very beneficial.

    There are so many things to be excited about for this year.
    I'm definitely looking forward to living it out!

  • i realize that i still have a lot of growing up to do.
    it's been a good season in my life though.
    california time is seriously faster than time anywhere else, it's already been almost a year since i drove out here and it seems like yesterday.

    relationships are tough.
    people are needy, insecure, and self absorbed.
    makes me get why paul would say that it's better for us to be single. hah.
    i'm a little discouraged, i observe married life all around me...
    if marriage is always like i see it- forget it.
    it's hard for me to imagine spending my life with someone,
    not that i don't want to...i guess that just ties into me needing to grow up.
    i don't know.

    just some thoughts i've been thinking.

  • Africa

    I'm trying to go to Uganda in July. Prayers would be appreciated, so would donations.
    They are sending a team to Uganda to help with the relief efforts for the genocide that is currently going on in Kenya. Everyone is fleeing to Uganda.  I have to go because this is robbing my sleep. I need to go, because this is a passion i can't turn off.  what's going on over there is an injustice that must be challenged.
    I have to do something.

    Thanks for your prayers, and your donations.
