I'm a "C"

Its late and I can't sleep. I'm thinking about the day, the weeks, the months, the year... my faith, others who have faith, those who don't, my weaknesses, what it means to love god and my neighbor and then I get the root of my thoughts...

What does it mean to be a Christian? What does it really look like?

....
....

There are so many influences in this world and so many "Christians" that don't even love their neighbor... I'll be the first to admit its hard, I'm weak, my pride gets in the way, I judge those who I think judge and judge even when they don't, I don't like to give love when I don't feel like its being reciprocated, I can become materialistic and love the world at times more than things of eternity, I put my own agenda before God... Of course I'm thankful for this grace in knowing that I am saved and in knowing that I do not have to earn this grace...

BUT on the flip side... where my heart is there my treasure is as well right? And not being able to be perfect isn't a legit excuse not to try and persevere to be faithfully following in the footsteps of Christ in always serving, always loving, always giving, always placing the other before myself right?

To be in the world, but not of the world... really needing to be set apart, we cannot live like the world lives, love like the world loves, serve the way the world serves... We need to step up and really allow for Christ to set us apart.

Man... I feel... I'm not sure yet... but I have this urgency and am reminded that we really need to live differently. As God is transforming our lives, may we be witnesses, examples that rise above and beyond the examples of the world... that WE ARE BELIEVERS! That we love, serve, and live lives differently because of who God is and who He has created us to be- may it illuminate in our whole being.

Gut Instinct

You know when you have a feeling about something and you don't want it to be true, but then you find out that it is, and you don't really know how to react at that moment, but you try your best to be positive, affirming, and encouraging.

Well yeah... today I encountered one of those moments. LOL! I know some of you guys have asked me why I'm being so cryptic with some of my posts and its cus I'm a lady and I blog, but will NOT reveal the inner most parts of my heart to just anyone... bahahahaha~. BUT I still wanted to vent.

*Sigh... LOL! One of those days yahnoo what I mean?!?!? ;p

Gut Instincts... sometimes they are wrong... not gonna lie... like I'll confront people and be totally OFF, but then sometimes... man they are so ON! I wonder how we have this 6th sense at times...

Anywho... that's all. Done with my random rambling and being all cryptic on yah... bahahhahaa... TOTALLY looking forward to going to Chicago this weekend and spending time with old friends. Perfect timing... (=

Recruit the way...

THE MARINES DO IT

"My son Jim joined the Marines when he was a young man. I was proud of him, but I also noticed the Marines didn't sweeten their sales pitch for Jim or anybody else. Hard work, long hours, tough duty, extreme situations, and more were what they offered. All of this to find "a few good men" who wanted to be part of a great team. 

      Of course, this is a very sound screening device for attracting the right kind of person--the individual eager to pay the necessary price to become a member of that kind of organization.

      Those who applied for membership, who wanted to be part of the team, were not looking for the easy way. There knew it would be tough going and accepted it, even welcomed it.

     Unintentionally, I had been doing something similar in my own recruiting. No sweet talk or big promises. Playing time, trophies, or title were never, ever mentioned. The one big promise I made to candidates was that if they came to UCLA and paid attention, they'd get a very good education. 

     Over the years I think my approach screened out many individuals who may have been ill-suited for my system. This saved everybody a lot of time. In its own way, my approach had some resemblance to that of the Marine Corps." - J. Wooden

I read this today and of course thought of you David. I only hear of bits and pieces of what it is to live as a Marine and to serve our country and I can only imagine (and would only like too, cus I wouldn't make it as a Marine =), all the sacrifice, dedication, and hard work you and your fellow Marines put into fighting for our rights and freedom. 

Thank You David Lee for fighting for us and I'm really proud of who God has made you to be and the man he is shaping you to become. He is our sovereign God. We aren't perfect, but its awesome to see you strive and try daily to live for our Father as his child first and as one of the few and the proud.

사랑한다... 제니누나.    화이팅!!! (=
