Hey all!
Did you see the opening ceremonies last nigh?! They were incredible! To see God's gifts He's given us put to use is awe inspiring. You could see the very cry for help the Chinese were showing in this. They want peace, harmony, and love, but in any form other than God. They want freedom, but only God can give them that. My heart cries out for them. I suppose I've always liked the Chinese people. Ever since I saw The Inn of the Sixth Happiness I've wanted to be a missionary in China. They are such a unique people with a great sense of art and culture. I don't know yet if God wants me to go there, but what I do know is that I can pray for them! It's hard to say which part of the opening ceremonies I liked best; I liked all of it really! Maybe the Olympics will open China more and Christians will be able to speak more openly of their faith. We'll see I suppose.
School has been interesting. I officially despise protractors! But like I say when I start complaining about something or another, "I'll survive!":-) Speaking of complaining, I've realized I've been doing to much of it lately. In all reality I am truly blessed! I live in a free country that allows me to speak of my faith on the internet! I have a family and friends. I have a bed to sleep in and food to eat. I have an education that teaches me a lot of amazing things about God's world! Like a line in Geometry goes on and on and on... A point doesn't really exists. You use different parts of your brain to drive. Symbolism and allegories can be used in stories to show God's will for our lives. And the way our economy works is incredible! Yes, I am truly lucky to say the least. Life may not be easy, but I have God to help me through it!
I'm starting to pray that God will teach me to have a joyful attitude no matter what circumstance I'm in at the moment. Like when Paul wrote in the Bible about how he had come to be joyful in any circumstance and place he was in at the moment. This all started by a devotion I did from a spiritual gifts devotion I read last night. It showed me how truly blessed I am. I know I'm blessed, but sometimes it doesn't register in my mind. To many problems and issues fill my head. I forget to live for the moment, and for God. I'm never going to be perfect, but I know God will teach me the lessons I need to learn to be the best Christian I can be for His glory! There's always time to grow. Don't think you're ever done growing in your faith! That's actually a time to start worrying about what you may be doing wrong. There's so many things to learn and, in a lot of my cases, relearn.
Well, I hope you all have a great day!
Peace to you all,
Keri Lynn
