Love Wins

Rob Bell has written a new book entitled, 'Love Wins'. I plan to begin reading it over the weekend. It has caused quite a bit of controversy in the world of Christianity. I have a lot that I want to say about the things that have been said about Bell because of writing this book. But before I speak on the issue, I want to be able to say that I have read the book. Just wanted to notify all of you that another blog post is coming soon, there is just too much to say about it right now.

Wait for the Lord

 'Wait for the Lord, let our hearts, wait for the Lord, take courage, wait for the Lord, I say be strong, wait for the Lord." These words could not be more prevalent in my soul right now. God has really been teaching me to have patience over the past year. I know it's because of my constant struggle with being patient and having to wait for the things that I want.

 The instant-gratification attitude in our present culture doesn't help things. We grow up thinking that we deserve to have the things we want, when we want them. I think God has other plans. There is so much to learn in a time of waiting. If we are constantly living for the future, we miss out on the present and all of the beauty that this moment has to offer.

 I need to wait for the Lord and His timing, because His timing is best. And by waiting for the Lord to bring the next step in life, I can focus more on right now, and take in the beauty of the present moment.

I'm Back!

 Hey all. Um apparently my email account got hacked yesterday and my blog was temporarily removed. Sorry if any of you got a spam email from my email, I didn't send it. :) But I'm happy to announce that I'm back and my email account and blog are back up and running. Sorry for the scare, I was freaking out thinking that I had lost my blog completely and would have to start over and create a new one! *whew* Thank God it's all been fixed! Hackers are stupid.... just a side note. Peace & Love.
