Leprosy.

40A man with leprosy [8] came to him and begged him on his knees, az “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

41Jesus was indignant. [9] He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

43Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 44“See that you don’t tell this to anyone. ba But go, show yourself to the priest bb and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, bcas a testimony to them.” 45Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. bd Yet the people still came to him from everywhere

This really spoke to me about Gods grace. Jesus healed the man even though he would not obey. This seems so much like me. God always forgives me and call me to be one of his followers even though I will end up deliberately disobeying him. I find it much better to follow but Gods grace is amazing.

My last semester in school.

This semester i want school it be life changing...

I have been challenge to think about the injustices in the world. I CANNOT GET THIS OUT OF MY MIND. As I was thinking about this, I thought I was going to be able to change the world. Then the earth quake happends in Haiti and I feel helpless again. What can I do. As I was praying and thinking last night a thought came into my thats its the Lord's Kingdom I am supposed to be partnering with. I need to stop trying to do everything myself. With self-denial comes with not only loving your neighbor as yourself but loving God. These are two equal things. I think loving and worshiping God will help me refresh. I need to let God help me with my cross. This burden is to much for me to carry. Another thing I have to remember is the importance of community. Community should be involved in everything I do. I need people working, worshiping and loving with me. I encourage everybody who reads this blog to partner with me, to love God, love the community are you and seek justice.
