They used to tell us at this bible camp that I went to as a child, that being a Christian was like a white glove. And the world was a big pile of dirty mud. Now when you stick that glove into the mud, the mud does not become "glovey", rather the glove becomes "muddy"....
I love chruch sometimes. But it's true. Although Christians can be in the world and live a life for God, it's harder to be of the world and do the same thing. The "mud" inevitably sticks to us, weighing us down and stressing us out. Now of course I'd never really use this example, but he makes a point. We have to do our best to stick together! And yah... I'm done.
Also during church, I kind of thought to myself on what he was talking about. He was talking about being the salt of the earth, and then I startd writing a poem. I titled it "To me that it Concerns". It started out as something that Iwas gonna title it to whom it may concern, but as I wrote the poem, I realized it was to myself, and I'm the one "it concerns". lol. That doesn't make sense, but it does to me... so here it is
To be what You need me to be
and to see what You want me to see
are the hardest things to do.
While I try to do what is right
The world is pulling me into the wrong
Will I ever do right in Your eyes?
I want to make you proud and be
the salt of the Earth,
But You already claim I'm salt.
I have to TRUST in You, My God,
that You will not leave me or
lead me to despair.
Hold me in Your loving arms and NEVER let me go.
It's more of a conversation with God than anything else, but I liked it and wanted to post it. I don't have too much else to say now, so I shall go. Oh, except I had my Mario Kart Tournament and got to the semi-finals!! I was super excited. I did, however, lose the tie breaker to go to the championships so I was a little bummed, but I did better than last year! Anyway, I'm out! love you !
