Just for you, Liane

So once again, I've been kinda lazy on the posting part, but Liane told me to post something today at church and that's what I'm doing now. The weather is nice outside and that's nice I love it... the warmth, the sunshine, it just puts a smile in my heart.
Last thursday I went to visit my Grandma and she was going to teach me how to knit. I thought I could pick it up pretty quick and it would be a fun and cheap hobby. Well.... knitting is definetly not as easy as I thought it would be. Most of the time while my Grandma was teaching me we spent laughing and laughing because I couldn't get it quite. I understood the concept of what I was supposed to do, but getting my fingers to do what I wanted them to do was another thing. I just couldn't do it. A few days later I was thinking about that and it got me thinking how sometimes life as a Christian is like that. Sometimes we know what we'er supposed to do, but doing it is a lot harder than we thought. We may get the concept of God's love, but do we really get it? Sometimes I look at my life and and see clearly where I could serve God or be a light for him, but I just don't get it right. What is it that holds me back? Sometimes I'm afraid of what other people may think or say, knowing that sometimes God calls us to do strange things. I wonder how Noah must have felt. There he was in the middle of just land, building a big boat because God had called him to. Jesus talked with people who no one else would talk to because they were outcasts or unclean. I wonder how he felt or if he ever got funny looks or whispers from the so called righteous people in scociety. Sometimes I feel called to reach out to the outcasts in the world, but too often my fear of what others think holds me back. I get the concept of what God wants me to do, but just can't quite do it. I don't know how mcu sense I made but that's kinda what's been on my mind for the past while. I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts, now go outside and enjoy God's beauty and reach out the outcasts, love life... etc.
