Stars for Christ

Happy Jubilie! It's been fifty years since my church was founded, and I must say, I was truely inspired. And I discovered a few things:

~ Fear the Lord: doesn't mean being terrified, but instead fearing that you won't be able to fit all of your discovery and love of the Lord in your life time on Earth.

~ Legacy: Have you ever thought that God lets people die to inspire you? It sounds awful, but the way I think about it is that I've lost two friends, Kyle Chapman nad Savanah Veil. When they died, I was more compelled to be like them: fearless like Savanah when it came to faith and like my friend Kyle (who was known as "The Bible an" by a few people), I want to be reaching out to people concstantly. I'm sad they are gone, but now I feel more like carying their legacy on rather than sit still in the rain.

~ Freedom: Sure, many people who look at Christians say "your life must suck; you can't do anything" or "how blind are you? There is no God!". But  think about it: because I believe in a God who cares when I am down, who wants to hear from me and what I want, who provodes for me, who loves me so much He chose to die an excrusiating death, that He could have simply avoided by wiping out the troublesome nations with a singe breath, for me; me: a messed up, sinning, some times resentful woman.

I know I am not a horrible person, but I look at some of the things I have done, thought and said some days and think "... And you still love me after that?" That is utterly shocking and awestriking. And even more up-lifting: He takes time out of his life to pay attention to me. He hears me talk to Him, keeps me under a roof, has given my dad a job so he can feed me, my mother and my sister, and makes me feel safe when I am in a moment of parylizing terror.

I'm praying for you, and I hope you are faring well so far.

May God bless your journey!
