This morning in Sunday school we were talking about the American Dream and how much it doesn't line up with Christianity. (I have written about this before read it here.) I pray often that God will help me not want the perfect house, clothes, car... all that material stuff. 'Cause let's face it, we are trained to want that stuff. Growing up in America, it's hard to not want that. We read Luke 9 and discussed briefly what it looks like to follow Christ. How much STUFF would I abandon?? What am I living out that is biblical? Questions were stirred, I dig it. I want to love Jesus, and be like Him. I'm stuck in a rut, I guess you can call it. I just am so routine (as much as I'm lackin' routine right now). I read my bible and pray, everyday, like I strive to do. BUT.. how much is being applied and lived out? How much of it am I let challenge my life? How much of it is just habit?? America's so great, but so full of selfish distractions. It's awful. I just want to be Godly.
ALSO, Today is mother's day. I have the most wonderful mother in the WORLD. Seriously. I could go on for hours and hours. BUT I'll save you. Today is also the first mother's day my precious Mamoo has been gone. She was a wonderful Mother, Daughter and Mamoo. I miss her.
What's been going on you ask?????? WELL. Not a lot. Just hangin' out here and there. Went to Allen for a little bit. Hung out with my my best friend. My daddy had surgery done to help get rid of a kidney stone. I am currently avoiding cleaning my DISASTER of a room. It's ridiculous. BUT I NEED TO SO BAD. I'm finding my motivation... NOW.
P.S. My donkeys are really good at hollerin' really loud.
Love.
Miss you Mamoo.
you better come to allen more than just once! :) and yes i do read your blogs
