i haven't blogged in a loooooong while.
since the last time i wrote, i have been on a mission trip to new orleans..
i want to move there.
seriously. i fell in love with that place. the different cultures, the people, the sites.. i encountered cultures that i have not ever experienced. those poeple NEED more missionaries there. [i totally agree that other countries need missionaries, but we need to be missionaries to people IN OUR OWN COUNTRY, too.] but, back to my point.. they need open minded people who will just LISTEN to them. yes, we should share the gospel with them, but we need to listen to them as well. we do not have to agree with them, but listen. THEN explain.
*time out*
why don't we as Christians be more open minded? who did Christ hang out with? yes, he surrounded himself with 12 disciples.. but who did he preach to? not the saved. he preached to the lost. LISTEN people.. take the time to listen to people around you. understand where they are coming from, then, if what they believe is NOT what the bible says, tell them about Christ and His love and what he did for you, me, and them, and why what the believe is wrong. don't shove things down their throat. judging people and shoving religion down their throat DOES NOT get them anywhere. so as i said, if someone is not living the life they should be, listen to their side as well, then explain why they are wrong and what God says about things. we as Christians need to STEPITUP! <---- i include myself. WE need to fix this everyone, before it's too late.
*time in*
i went into a voo doo shop while in new orleans, to see what it was like. a lot of people didn't like the idea that i did that. little do some know, i had a talk with the guy working in their about religions and about Christ. i believe he still thought he was right, but i planted just a tee tiny seed, that hopefully will one day blossom. PRAY people. don't look down upon.. PRAY.
anyways, in all this.. i know i want to share Christ's love with people. i enjoy doing it and want to continue. and i can do it every day, every where i go. i don't have to wait until i am placed somewhere to share Christ's love. i can do it at work and everywhere i go.
i am at a very confused stage in my life. between my health, work, and just other things.. i feel so confused. i need to spend more time in God's word. i know he will help me through it, it's just hard.
:( i just need prayer, for i feel i'm at a stopping point, and don't know what to do. i know God has a masterful plan ready for me.. i just need a little push in where to go now..
that's all i have to say for now. i actually could spill TONS more, but for now i am going to leave it at this.
just LISTEN people. you can learn so much that way.
