I want to address my fellow Christian brothers and sisters here. I have a few questions for you.

What is the point of following Jesus, if you don't let him change you?

As Christians, we are called to be radically different. We are not called to be polished versions of the world and we are not called to be politically correct. Jesus was considered a rebel in his time and was arrested and killed for his ministry. I'm not saying that we all should go get arrested for the sake of the gospel, but we need to live that way. If you're worried about offending someone because you believe and they don't... that's a problem. We should not have to apologize for what we believe. I'm not saying that we should shove our faith down someone's throat, but don't back down because someone doesn't agree with you. Be firm in what you believe. So if you claim to be a Christian, but your lifestyle is that of the world, are you really a Christian? I'm not referring to someone who sins on occasion, I am referring to someone who lives a lifestyle of sin.

So.. I go back to my initial question. What is the point of following Jesus if you don't let him change you?

Bucket List

I am currently sitting at Caribou Coffee trying to study for my final exams. There are two girls sitting beside me on skype with one of their friends. They are speaking Spanish to each other. Very fluent Spanish I might add. Both girls are obviously Caucasian in ethnicity. I know I'm supposed to be studying but it got me to thinking about my life and how much I want to learn Spanish. This got me thinking about things that I want to do in my lifetime. I so often think of things that I want to do with my life but then later I forget them, so that is why I have decided to write a bucket list of sorts. Not because I think I'm going to die soon or anything, but just because. We all die someday. The thing that really excites me about this is that I will most likely not even do half of the things I put on my list. As I grow and change my desires will change and maybe I'll add new things to the list and cross off old things that I don't want to do anymore. I know God will lead ...

Nothing worth doing is ever going to be easy. If you really want something you have to suck it up, put your nose to the grind, and just do it. Yeah, I know that was an overuse of cliches right there. :) This is something I am learning in more than one aspect of my life right now. I can't say it's the most fun lesson I have ever had to learn. :( In my relationship with the Lord, if I want further intimacy I have to push in deeper. Intimacy with the Lord doesn't just happen overnight. It's like in any relationship. Closeness takes time. The people you know the best are generally the ones you spend the most time with. It's the same with the Lord. I am also learning this with school. I really want to be a nurse. I knew going into it that nursing school was going to be difficult, but being told that doesn't exactly prepare you for when it happens. I have been sick the past few days and really not into the whole studying thing. It's hard to concentrate on so...

I did a photo shoot with my sister and one of her friends today. I don't claim to be a photographer by any means, but I wanted to practice so I can at least be decent. Here's a few of what I took. My sister is so photogenic so it made taking pictures of her much easier. =) Yay. =)
