Well, guys, this is my offical first blog of my entire life... I honestly have no idea how to blog or what I am going to say, but that's quite alright.
Today has proven to be somewhat challenging. I have had to rely on people other than myself, and that is a big struggle for me. Let's back up a bit. Yesterday, my mom came up to school to see me. She was supposed to bring some stuff I needed, but because of a slight misunderstanding, the stuff didn't get brought. You see, I need that stuff for this weekend, and if I don't have it, then I am going to be really, really, really unprepared. So, all day today, I have had to trust my mom's word that she is going to bring it. Time is running out, and my patience is being tested, but you know what? That's really just fine, because God promised me that everything I go through has been "gone through" before.
I like how this autosaves, by the way...
Anway, I am learning how to be less self-sufficient in how I live and carry myself. I think that's a good thing, too. God didn't make the body of Christ to be individualized. Actually, He did just the opposite. He made us all with special attributes that could add to His body as a whole. Sepearately, we're just a bunch of flesh. But when He brings us together and we ALLLLLL make an effort to serve eachother and think each other as useful parts, too, THEN we're a functioning, working BODY. THEN God is at our core. HE is what holds us all together. When Jesus Christ is our foundation, THEN we will be able to accomplish great things in our families, friendships, relationships, churches, and countries.
Pray for our missonaries, by the way... and if you want to obey God's word, then ask Him with listening ears where He wants you to go. Because honestly, didn't He command us to? Sometimes, that means go across the street or go into a certain isle at the grocery store. But is He telling you to go to Iraq or to India or to Mexico or to Canada or to Russia but you're just too scared you're life will change? Too scared to change your plans and surrender them to Christ??? How selfish have we become to deny Christ and take on ourselves? We are such a selfish creation, and it's quite disgusting.
But here's the good part.
WHILE we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
If He died, why can't we just GO like He told us to?
