5 days til I'm home. This tour has been amazing. one of the best for sure. but its been a month and a half since ive been home. i miss my friends. :)
ive been reading a book lately called Loving Jesus by Mother Teresa. It's got such great simple truths in it. (Aside from all the catholic theology she throws in there....) God's been showing me simple love. simple obedience. its not meant to be complex. its meant to be simple. either our lives are surrendered to God, or theyre not. either we love people more than we love ourselves or we dont. God isnt a God of gray. He's black and white, He wants us hot or cold. It so easy to live in the middle, to compromise on little things because theyre "not a big deal" but really.. theyre the big deal. theyre where the rubber meets the road in our faith. its in the little things where we rehearse the big decisions we will make.
allllright, going to get some sleep... or at least lay in my bunk and over think for a while. :)

And that's why Mother Teresa is so revered, because of the way she demonstrated that most basic Christianity a lot of people never revisit.
ReplyDeleteThank you for always putting on such an amazing show for us, I'm glad you get to be with loved ones soon.
You should read "The Irrisistable Revolution" And "Jesus For President" by Shane Claiborne. They're incredible books. Really perspective changing and eye opening.
