Summer is Over!!

Wow, its been 3 whole months since last wrote anything here. Life is different now and more interesting than ever. I suppose ill just leave this to a few random notes on life.. but first, what did I learn this summer?

Love, its our greatest commandment, but its the most enjoyable. While I didn't work at any church or get involved in any organization sort of deal, my ministry was and is the people I work with and socialize with outside of the AGO circle. While God allowed me to enter into the lives of all those people I love and care about, he also taught me something very valuable through these people. "Reality check." I remembered that Jesus was the one who went after those that were different, vile, unwanted or secular. Not those that were trying to live self-righteously. For those of you who actually take the time to read this, thank you! I want to encourage every one of you believers to strive to go beyond having a christian bubble this semester. We need to be friends with non-believers just as much as they need Christ! While some of us may get the idea that were doing our secular friends a favor by being a good influence, keep in mind that we need them as much as they need us. For my self, I do what I can to be an example, but they are also my reality check. God is our ultimate authority in all of our struggles between self-righteousness and the secular life. It is unfortunate that the image of christianity is not very appealing, but with love, we can still show the image of Christ to others.

well, i would post more but its almost 3am. Bye.





Ps: Lets not isolate ourselves and end up grumpy bears.
