Don’t count people out. See others as God sees them. Have compassion. Show love. Love justice.
Love as Christ loved us
This is one of the first Scriptures that I ever memorized. Why?? Because I heard it every Sunday that I went to church growing up. Before the offering each week, the priest would say “Love as Christ loved us, and gave Himself for us, and offering and sacrifice to God.” Something about those words — they were really impressed upon my heart before I even knew what they actually meant. It can truly be difficult to love when you depend only on your own strength. But it is my prayer that God will show His love through us, strengthening us in those places where we are weak. While yet sinners, Christ died for us. Not that we deserved it, but we were worth it. Maybe you do not feel like you are loved. But, PLEASE read it for yourself. God loves you. He loves you so much that He wants to be your all. There is no greater love in this world, and it is available to you, no matter who you are or what your circumstances might be. You are worth dying for. God loves you so much that He will seek you where ever you are. Lord, help us to love like You.

This was supposed to be a simple project that was to be ready to post in November, but I have found there is so much more depth to the subject that the project will be a little larger than anticipated. I am excited – I know this is an exercise that I need for myself. I thank God for everything – both the bitter and the sweet.
Still ASKing…
Well, it has been a while since I have blogged. I must say, life has tried to take over. However, I am confident in the vision, I believe in the faith, and I am renewed to continue in spreading the Good news. I would like this to be primarily a blog, but with Christian education resources. I have tried to conform to others, but when I tried to compromise, it just did not fit. I thank God for renewed vision, and pray for continued strength and grace as I move forward.
