Day 7 - December 19, 2005

Chillin’ at the airport.
This week has been one of the most amazing times of my life. God has definitely opened my eyes to so many things and taught me how to be more like him. One of the most important things I have been learning is how to live a Christ-like life. We so often forget that we are here on God’s earth to do His will, and the easiest way to do His will is to follow the example of Christ. One of the easiest ways to mirror the life of Christ is to act with humility and a joyful heart. This week we have been studying Philippians, one of my favorite books in the Bible (check out 2:5-11, and 4:4, my all time faves!). Anyway, God just really reminded me how important it is to live with JOY and HUMILITY while living as examples of Christ.

Another thing that God really taught me through my experiences on this trip is different ways to experience His love. One of the fallibilities of being human is ignorance, and I have been very ignorant of the many various ways to experience the love of Christ. On this trip we were privileged to meet so many different people, all from various walks of life. Some were weird, some were ugly, but most were cool. Hearing the stories that these people had to tell just opened my eyes to the different ways God loves all of us. We are truly His children and he will always meet us where we are at and fill ALL of our needs. God is so awesome and loves us all so much, and all we have to do is be willing to listen to Him and OBEY with HUMILITY and JOY.
Peace out brotha
