A Bread Crumb and Fish

I've been trying to write something that was really DEEP, profound, and clever. Unfortunately I can't...I'm not that capable hahaha :( Sooo I give up.


Hi!

How was your day? What's new? How's life?


...


The potluck on Friday was really awesome. It was just nice to see people bond and have fun while playing a simple game of Taboo. If such game can bring people together, how much closer would we get if we share the good news of Christ with one another?

Sacrificing for others is such a hard thing to do. Setting your needs, wants, greed(?), and desires to the side, I think, is close to impossible and painful to say the least. I don't know how Jesus did it. I can't even do it for the few people around me, but somehow He managed to do it for all His beloved and chosen children...it probably had something to do with being perfect and almighty, but anyways.


The more I struggle with this, the more I come to love Christ. The more I find myself doing this, the more I come to love Christ. The more I do anything in my life, the more I come to love Christ.


Sacrifice. sacrifice. sacrifice. It's a tough one to swallow...

I watched this back in 8th grade and rolled on the floor. I watched it again today and cracked up. Because of this video, every time a pastor says "pinch his/their tents" during a sermon, I smile real big and try to hold my laugh. Why did I even search this video again? I heard an Australian guy say the word "pianist", which sounded a lot like that other word. My goodness gracious, I am immature.


DK and I always talk about the most interesting things on the ride back from church (never on the way though). I'm really going to miss it.

This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible because you can just sense the urgency and the wholehearted repentance by David.

"Surely You desire truth in the inner parts; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice." -Psalm 51 6-8

One of the scariest things about sin is the fact that we often get comfortable with it. The very sin that once troubled our hearts all of a sudden seems logical and just in our sinful eyes and hearts. Just like what David says in verse 8, having our sins corrected brings immense spiritual pain, but we must also be happy and thankful for the fact that God is willing and patient enough to break our hearts and mold them back together into His liking.

So here is a little part of what I read today...

Think about it: the physical pain of an actual broken bone is worth being thankful for because it's a warning sign something is wrong in that arm or leg. In the same way, God's loving hammer of conviction is meant to break your heart, and the pain of heart you feel is meant to alert you to the fact that something is spiritually wrong inside of you. Like the warning signal of physical pain, the rescuing and restoring pain of convicting grace is a thing worth celebrating.
So God's grace isn't always comfortable because he isn't primarily working on our comfort; he's working on our character. With violent grace he will crush us because he loves us and is committed to our restoration, deliverance, and refinement. And that is something worth celebrating.


Have a good day :)

"So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today--to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul--then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied." -Deuteronomy 11:13-15

Help me to love You before and more than anyone or anything of this world...to truly truly love You with all my heart and with all my soul. What a day what will be!

I overheard a conversation between a couple of Jewish men while waiting for the bus today. To be honest, I don't really know much about Jewish beliefs and practices, but they were talking about their beliefs and ideas on how people can enter the Heaven's doors. The only hope they could give was the hope that somehow and someway, a person could be obedient and righteous enough to be given the blessing of eternal time with God. Unfortunately, I didn't have the courage nor the time to talk them about what I believed. But the more they talked about it, the more beautiful the Gospel seemed to me today.

I had one of those "remember back..." conversations with a friend today. It was funny how I only remembered the fun and good parts of middle school. It took me a while to realize how stressful and horrible middle school was. The horrible traffic before and after school, cross country Fridays, tests and quizzes, band concerts, RAINY DAYS (lame recess), and yard duties...that one time when I freaked out while learning how to write essays in 6th grade, the 6th grade science fair, the time when i was walking into my mom's car crying with a broken arm...my fat-ness. But even all those things now make me laugh although it didn't at the time. Even high school now makes me laugh and a part of me now wishes I can experience that all over again.

Midterms...finals...college in general is stressful. I can't wait till I get to look back and just laugh at the things I did in college...even to this blog entry.
