aaahhh!!!

Yes!! time finally...it feels as if right after i got back from mexico..the pace of my life picked up like crazy. As in, I havent even had time to wash my hair(is that TMI?)
the only reason i can do this now is cos i got out of class early tonight yipee!!!

so much to say, so little time...Mexico was off the hizzy fo shizzy, God showed up like only He could. I will put up pics later, when i get settled.

right now, i will continue the matt 5,6,7 message bible series

This is matt 5:13-16

Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage
Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

*P.S Simeon thank you for my award..i will do a speechy later when i have more time :)

I love how it is phrased here, it made me smile..."You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill..."

Haleluyah!

So true. Also we have to be careful not to be water down Christians by allowing ppl or situations to discourage us.
