So God has been convicting me lately about going back home and speaking out for those who do not know better. My eyes have been recently open. I see so much going on within our church that is not right. I see so much going on that is not wise. I see so much judgment. I see so much condemnation. I see so much hypocrisy.
I understand that there will always be these kinds of flaws, because we are humans. However, nothing is being done. There is no effort to try and improve on these things.
I want to sit down with the Governing Board and Youth Board and ask:
-What is the church's purpose?
-What are you doing to fulfill this purpose?
-How is the church growing its members spiritually?
AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
aiya. I wanna go home and MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
but am I ready?
Lord. I pray for humility.

As I'm walking to Session 3 of Missions Conference, I see my guy friends at the entrance of the gym. I wonder what they're up to. I see them scan their cards, go in, look around, then casually walk out the side door. I said hi to them and said, "Did you guys just scan and leave?" One of them sarcastically said, "No. We would never do that."
I'm puzzled. Do they have no conscience?
Not only that, but how can they take these kinds of opportunities for granted?
We are sooooo blessed to even be within the presence of such amazing missionaries that have come to share with us their stories of God's faithfulness.
We are blessed with the opportunity to come to together and raise our voices as one out to God.
Taking our blessings for granted is one of my greatest faults. However, it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate them. I wonder, do people look at me and what I do and ask the same questions I asked of my friends as above? I hope not. By our own selfish nature, it's harder for us to be hard on ourselves as we are on everyone else in this world.
Getting bad grades.
Being misjudged.
Disappointing my parents.
Not being accepted.
Being rejected.
Making stupid decisions.
These are some of the things that I fear most.
Did you notice anything wrong with the list?
Fear of God.
I've been noticing many disturbing things lately.
We fear things that are not supposed to be feared.
We shouldn't fear anything (demons, spiritual warfare, injustice, etc.).
The only One we are to fear is God.
Here I am God. Use me. Send me.

7 Deadly Sins:
1. Pride
2. Gluttony
3. Jealousy
4. Envy
5. Wrath
6. Greed
7. Sloth
Yeap Guilty.
..I know I endulge too much in earthly things. We are supposed to be in this world, not of it.
..I am way too judgemental. We have no right to determine what is weird or what is normal. Only God does. Yet, He still loves us all.
..I am not intentional enough. I miss out on valuable and beneficial relationships.
..I am too selfish. I put my wants above others' needs.
..I am deceiving. Everyone thinks I'm smart....guess what...I'm not.
I'm still learning. Getting hurt and hurting others. But that's part of the process isn't it?
I want to get away from the city and sit on top of a nice fluffy tree and smile while being still and knowing that God is God. He's amazing and all powerful.
