God-Lovers! it's a faith fight

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

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?

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,
