Romans 14:1 (the message)
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don't see things the way you do. And don't jump all over them every time they do or say something you don't agree with—even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department. Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently.
Thank you Kim Sadler. This passage is such a good reminder that I don't have to give my opinion all the time. Sometimes I just need to listen. God's working is everyone's life so who am I to determine what they should or should not be learning at any given time. True I'm willing to speak God's truth when He wants me to. But I really want to stop always having to know the correct answer.
Hey Kim, wanna come hang out with me in March? Like the 25th or something? Yeah? Okay! bring Carl and Kelly too. Remember the trash cans? Hopefully in a year or so we'll look back at this post and wonder what in the world we were doing with trash cans. We're underrated.
"If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it's time to water your own grass." - I like that a lot. Stop complaining. You're right where you're at. And it's okay. I'm mainly talking to me. I'm trying to be more optimistic with my life.
No matter where you go, there you are.
Also I was reminded the other day, as I sat in Starbucks, about how much I used to love Feist. A year ago, maybe longer, I listened to it obsesively. When I heard little XM radio playing Inside and Out I recalled my long lost love but couldn't remember the name of the band. Then I checked Robby's xanga last night and there it was. And that's another reason I'm thankful for friends like Robby. Good taste in music.
Earlier this morning I was sitting at my desk reading and watching this cute little boy. His older sister was also keeping an eye on him. I smiled and laughed at him and so did she. She was probably 11 or 12. She had one of those containers of mini m&m's. She walks over to my desk and says, "want some?" How could I say no. She then dumped them into my outstretched hand and walked away. True I can't eat them, lent, but she was so sweet. I was just reminded of how much God loves me. It just felt like she was strategically placed to brighten my day.
Plus her little brother was adorable. And he made me miss my little brother Clayton so much. I'm looking forward to going home so much these days. But I'm enjoying myself here too.
Tomorrow night all the roommates and I are going to Home Run Inn for a little deep dish action. Brian says it's better than Giardono's. Man I do love Chicago style pizza. But when I'm home can we go to either Hound Dog's or that other place? Whose name I can't remember ... Ashley help me out ... the place with the ranch?
Okay, this is sufficient. Kinda like God's grace, only different. Whoa.
I think God is really great.
Shalom.

bravo
last night a roommate made a really good point about the deception almost necessary for those living in poverty. i said "bravo!" and then i got judged a lot.
Sacred Romance
"The reason the mass of men fear God and at bottom dislike him is because they rather distrust his heart, and fancy him all brain, like a watch." - Melville
"The Gospel says that we, who are God's beloved, created a cosmic crisis. It says we were stolen from out True Love and that he launched the greatest campaign in the history of the world to get us back. God created us for intimacy with him. When we turned our back on him he promised to come for us. He sent personal messengers; he used beauty and affliction to recapture our hearts. After all else failed, he conceived the most daring of plans. Under the cover of night he stole into the enemy's camp incognito, the Ancient of Days disguised as a newborn. The Incarnation, as Phil Yancey reminds us, was a daring raid into enemy territory. The whole world lay under the power of the evil one and we were held in the dungeons of darkness. God risked it all to rescue us." - The Sacred Romance
Finished it. Beautiful.
Us Mission Year kids have a field trip to the Dusabo Museum tomorrow. African-American History Museum. Should be baller.

oh the days gone by
I was looking at a website I threw together when I was 17 I think. Absolutely ridiculous. It's mainly pictures and things. But man, it's funny how things change. Wanna check it out? Yeah? Too bad.
Three more chapters left of The Sacred Romance. Man it's good. Refreshing and good. I love the way they tell stories all the time. And use movies and books as analogies of how God is trying to gently draw us closer to himself. Beautiful.
Hey, Lent started today. And this weather really makes me wish I was getting to spend Easter with my family. Man I love Easter with everybody. And this year supposedly there's going to be even more than everybody. I wish I could be there. We still have candy hunts.
I've been doing a lot of reminiscing recently. Well mainly the past three days. God's helping me see things in a totally different light than I did growing up. It's bittersweet.
Goodbye to you. Ha, I wrote that and then I thought of Michelle Branch. Thank you Kim.

the gospel...
"It is a world of magic and mystery, of deep darkness and flickering starlight. It is a world where terrible things happen and wonderful things too. It is a world where goodness is pitted against evil, love against hate, order against chaos, in a great struggle where often it is hard to be sure who belongs to which side because appearances are endlessly deceptive. Yet for all its confusion and wildness, it is a world where the battle goes ultimately to the good, who live happily ever after, and where in the long run everybody, good and evil alike, becomes known by his true name...That is the fairy tale of the Gospel with, of course, one crucial difference from all other fairy tales, which is that the claim made for it is that it is true, that it not only happened once upon a time but has kept on happening ever since and is happening still." - Frederick Buechner Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy and Fairy Tale
I decided to read through The Sacred Romance again. Sarah recommended it last night and I forgot that I brought it with, so I'm reading it again. It's quite delightful. It may contradict what I learned from Robert a couple weeks ago. Man that guy has haunted me. But the book is magically written. Just reading the first couple chapters begins to stir up excitement for life. Good.
Found a pic in the book. Took me back a couple years. So did listening to Spin by Lifehouse this morning. I'm just being sentimental today. A'ight. Peace.

babies
The older I get the younger I feel.
A couple minutes ago I was sitting at my desk reading a book when a receptionist, elizabeth, came over holding this adorable 4 month old little boy. Full of smiles and little baby noises. I did the usual baby talk and tickle thing to encourage the baby to keep being cute. It worked so well that elizabeth put the baby in my lap and walked away. It's been such a long time since I help a baby, it made me thankful that God decided we should all go through the baby stage. It's probably the stage where we're most annoying but also the most lovable. I can't wait to talk with God about why He made babies.
And I feel like that would also be a conversation that I would have with Kim.
The other day I found out that Elizabeth, who has an adorable 4 year old, is a couple months younger than I am. How in the world? I'm so far away from that place. I can't even imagine having a four year old and a real job and a husband. Wow. And that's why I got to thinking about how I feel younger and younger as the day's go by.
Well my supervisor didn't show up for our usual meeting, so there's that. The president of mission year is coming over tonight for a little dessert action. Hopefully that goes well. I can't believe it's already the weekend. Tomorrow will hopefully turn out better than last Saturday. Then Sunday I've got church, CityWide and hopefully having new friends over. Monday I can do whatever I want. Man, the days just fly by.

tiny tots
I came into the back to type on the laptop and there was this little girl sitting in the back coloring a picture. So cute. She started out on the other side of the table but slowly moved her way over to my side and is now coloring right next to me. She's so cute. Occasionally she'll kinda lift up her picture obviously wanting me to comment on how pretty it is. I'm more than willing. She's adorable. I'm just not sure if she speaks english.
Who knows why I'm not working with little kids. Oh that's right, cause they're cute for a short period of time and then they get annoying.
Tomorrow's Friday and I may get to go to the auto show to volunteer. No guarantees but it's a possibility. Hopefully Jenny, Tara, Brad and Andrew would be there as well.
During lunch I sat with our lab technician, an MA and a receptionist. They're all Hispanic and all felt like their people are treated very poorly here. They were all getting really heated. Broke my heart cause I can see it. But they let me in on the conversation which leads me to believe that they don't think I do it. Man, the color of someones skin should not determine how they're treated.
Alright I'm gonna go oooo and ahhh at this little girl.

make their work a joy
Last night my roommates and i went out to the white palace to celebrate Lauren's half birthday. Lots of fun. We made fun of people alot. You know, couples and giggley girls. Saw some guy slip on the ice, I know it's not nice to laugh but it's hard sometimes.
But after work Lauren and I r gonna get r nails did ... ya hurd? Hopefully we'll both get really long and gaudy sets. I'm excited about it.
Hebrews 13:17 "Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy and not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you."
This is a good reminder. The person that popped into my head first is Dara. I've begun some sneaky missions to make her job a joy. But there's more I can do. Rather than complain about what I see is wrong I need to encourage her so that she doesn't get even more frustrated. And that goes for any and all those in leadership positions. I need to help, not antagonize. And we all know how hard that is for me to do.
Alright I'm gonna go do some work related things now.

v-day
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:5-9
This snow is getting ridiculous.
A lot of stuff has happened over the past couple days. Yesterday I took a mental health day aka snow day. So I spent the day with Tara and Lauren. Cleaned and organized my room, wrote some notes, finished a book, painted, made rice krispy treats. It was just a lovely day.
On Sunday night after training I rode the train home with brad and andrew. We decided to be friends.
Then I got home and there were a billion people at my house. And by a billion there were like 10. We played truth or dare for about 2 hours. We laughed a lot. And it looks like I will have friends to hangout with during spring break. Neither Chris or Ben are going home so we've set up some hangout time.
Saturday one of my roommates and I were waiting for the bus and a man approached and said, "I'm the stick up man, give me your money." Then he yelled a little. So I've had my first experience getting robbed.
There are patients. I need to go. I'll finish updating in a minute. Peace.

awkward confrontation last night from two of the roommates to all of the other ones. they just did it right after we'd all had long days and had sat and discussed this deep book called Jesus and the Disinherited. so let's just say some people's attitudes could have been better. especially mine. i'm such a brat.

too much.
Oh Robby I miss you.
How in the world is one girl supposed to be a health counselor an outreach worker and soon to be an abstinence educator? Today's been long and my head is crammed full again. Just when I thought I was getting a little breather.
You're better than the stars.

snow snow go away
"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes." Matthew 6:33&34
Oh this is what being totally out of control feels like. It's all outta my hands so I've gotta trust God with it. The future. Who even knows how everything's gonna fall into place. But prayer would be grately appreciated. Worry robs the present of my presence. I don't want to miss out on what's happening right here and right now because I'm focusing my attention on 6 months from now.
Remember how the Colts blew the Bears outta the water? I remember that. I also remember rooting for my team, seeing them win, and then having all the guys from my church vow never to talk to me again. Man, I love sports.
KimS, Hamp, Johnny & Diddy, thank you for your contributions. They made me both laugh and tear up. You guys are great. Thanks for being a part of my life.
Boo Bear, you just need to come today. Please, we'll find a couch to snuggle on, we'll eat pumpkin icecream, watch family guy and cry. I just really need you to come.
Sunday, with the wind chill, it was -24. Who does that?
Why are schools in dublin closed but not schools in chicago?

meetings meetings meetings
my eyes hurt.
whole bunch of meetings today. i'm beat. but luckily while i was in a meeting with my supervisor a teacher from the school came looking for me to ask for my assistance. that's impressive right ... right.
this lady today who was teaching me how to do things ... well we talked for about an hour and then we realized that she'd shared her testimony in front of all the mission year students. stupid me. i'm just not good with faces.
reading through hebrews. 10:38 and 11:1. connect them. the righteous believe in what they cannot see. shoot. shouldn't that change the way we live? if we really believed in our hearts what it is that we say we're all about ... shouldn't that alter drastically the way we view life and handle situations? just good is all.
alright i'm doing that thing again. leaving early. there's no one here anyway so i'm not sure why i'm here. tonight is "family night". who knows what we'll do this week. but tomorrow i'm hanging out with two of my roommates plus ravin and erica. so i actually have something to do with my afternoon. hooray for not having to walk around k-town all day.

michael jackson was in my dreams last night. so were a bunch of dead jazz musicians. and penelope and odysseus. somehow i was in charge of all of them. where do our dreams come from i wonder.

apples
i can't wait for the day when i can go grocery shopping and get as many apples as i want, and then eat as many as i can in one sitting and then carry a sled through uptown.
i'm planning on wearing my edgerrin james jersey downtown on sunday. too bad he's now with the cardinals. and too bad there aren't supposed to be any degrees on sunday. but still we are gonna cause a rukus. i'm really happy about our plan.
choir tonight.
