Hey God Lovers! Sorry I didn't post yesterday. With school and all the busy-ness everywhere I wasn't able to get around and sit down for awhile to write this out. But, hey, better late then never! This is the finale of God-Lovers. Sad. :(
I learned a lot from reading Proverbs. A lot. Between a smarty-pants to a loser, I learned what they are and what they mean. But reading Proverbs just added to this
Though still there were people who mocked me. Laughed at me. Made fun of me. But, honestly, I didn't care.

MY FAITH FIGHT.
I was a Bible for Halloween this year. Yes, it's true. I was. :) I was kind of "ehhhhh" about being a Bible because I knew that I would be made fun of. I knew some people would like my costume...
and some would not.
I don't think I've ever felt so loved yet so rejected at the same time in my entire life.
I was trick-or-treating (of course!) with my friends from youth group. I would go up to a door and get laughed at in my face. I would walk with my friends to the next house and hear someone saying, "Ooooh, I get it. She's a Bible! HA-HA-HA." Yet, I would go up to a door and a lady said, "Hey! I read the Bible! Can I take a picture with you?" Me, "SURE!!!" Or in front of another house that had crazy Halloween decorations another lady said, "That's such an awesome costume! Can I take a picture of you?" Me, "YES!"
Though still there were people who mocked me. Laughed at me. Made fun of me. But, honestly, I didn't care.
I liked my costume. :)

God has us do HARD THINGS.
Life is a hard path.
Sometimes we go off road.
Get lost.
And have to find a map
to get back home.
But sometimes we have to get off the road that the world walks in.
Sometimes we have to take a different way.
Sometimes we have to go off the path
and leave a trail.
It's a Faith Fight.

Do you ever have those days where you think to yourself,
"Er...why did I not do that??"
All the time.
I feel you.
So it's like this,
If God said,
"I want you to go pray for that person."
What would you do?
It's a Faith Fight.

I'm a scaredy-pants.
Seriously.
Take me to Six Flags and I'll stay in the kiddie-ride section, thank you very much.
But let God be BIGGER than that fear.
Even though that fear is HUGE.
God is HUMONGOUS.
I named us God-Lovers, God-Lovers, because we love God. Does that make any more sense that what it already does? If you love God, we can love people. Even though people might not love us, I love them. I do. I truly do love people. They are amazing. They are worth more than anyone could imagine. And God loves them.
People reject,
but God accepts.
Believe it.
Life's a war,
but we got God.
It's a Faith Fight.
Love ya guys,
emma
