Crush the mellow

I love mellow. I like to sit and relax and just think about life. But society lives in a whole other type of style. They want instant gratification, and they want everything they think they deserve. But we entered this world with nothing and we will leave this world with nothing. So why are we so wrapped up in the world? It's like we have set our claws into the earth's ground. I try to mellow out by avoiding the world's level of living as often as I can. Though I can't always. Like tonight I didn't want to leave the church. Because when I stepped out of the doorway I was leaving the mellow zone. I was going into the big bad world. I wanted to cry, really. We should all have peace, and we all think we deserve it. But what have you done for God? He died for us, for our sins. People can't grasp that. So imagine for an instant. Your dad realizes that you have gone totally lost, that you have lost your way. Imagine him telling you that he's going to lay down his life for you. Imagine that he does it the way Jesus did it. It would really hurt you, wouldn't it? Wouldn't you want to honor him after that? Everyday people reject God and his son Jesus. It's like slapping him in the face when people do that. My point is, we can't always live in the "mellow" zone. But with God In our hearts, with him beside us we will get close to that mellow feeling. I say Amen to that way of living.

I can't check yes

So that lovely button on facebook that says check yes if you "voted" is unchecked on my part. I have a new job that I've been trying to figure out correctly. I have been sick with just aches and pains and fever. Plus, the people who were running were not respectful, all I saw was these commercials of them bad mouthing each other. It was only last week that I saw one of them actually saying what they were planning to do. That "person" was actually the one talking. I know if you don't vote you have no right to complain. I'm not complaining. I'm complaining about myself and the lack of effort that I put into voting. I didn't want to vote basically. Because I believe there wasn't a good enough candidate that I wanted in charge. Each of them had their flaws. However, I do plan to vote for the next president. Because I need and want to continue to use my right. But I want to vote for someone who knows God. Who has some kind of faith, who has knowledge of our wonderful God. Someone who doesn't spend millions of money to bad mouth others.I want a God-fearing person who openly loves and follows God's commands. That's it, simple and easy.

Being a Romero

Being a Romero you have to understand that life isn't always easy. Sometimes we strive in that though. As a Romero I have learned that the things that have happened,the things that have been pushed on me have made me strong.Being a Romero is like knowing the storm is coming but going out in it anyway. I mean standing in the middle of it all without any coat on. But coming out of the Storm isn't easy. A Romero doesn't just leave after the storm fades away. We stand and look at the damage. We strive in it and we push forward sometimes we walk through it for years. The point of this? Is to show that life can be so unfair, like God dying for us was something I could never really stand in. I can never stand there and say "I really know what he did". Because its a Storm that none of us had to endure. God endured it for us and we don't have to suffer in that. Being a Romero means knowing that we have many storms ahead but God has paved the cracks to let us know that he will fill them and he will stand with us. In fascination and in endurance. He knows we can endure what he gives us.

Love always,
