BIG PEOPLE.

Sometimes, we're faced with big people. People that we have to face, or stumble upon, or chose not to face, but end up facing anyway. And I don't mean "big" like "large," but like "experienced," or "powerful."

And even though we don't stand a chance to these people, we have to face them anyway. And even when it seems impossible... we have to be still and know that no matter HOW big the person is, that God made them, and He's ultimately in charge. It's a little confusing.

In today's reading, God talked to kings and rulers of places, and warned them about how they need to change. I just this encounter was just humbling for me, because it made me feel all warm inside to know that GOD IS IN CHARGE. He's in charge of the bullies, and the meanies, and the people whom we want to punch in the face.

And no matter HOW big they seem, like the Pharaoh, God is still in charge. God still loves them, too. So it's important for us to love the bullies as well.

Love them like God would.

Peace out.

It has always been a comfort to me, to know that God is in charge. Over everything...He is in charge, and I don't have to be! ha! I don't have to worry about things, as He is in charge and in control.

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

By -
Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,

Daniel 9-12 Read these final chapters of Daniel now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ !!!!!CHRISTIANITY MYTHS REVEALED!!!! I think a lot of times, Christianity comes across as some strict religion for church-goers and saints. You have to give alllll your time and alllll your money away to the church, and you have to stay clear of alllll sins to get into heaven. But I'm here to say THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. Don't get me wrong-- it's not easy to be a follower of Jesus. We have to make sacrifices of time and energy to set ourselves different from the rest of the world. It's hard sometimes to do what Jesus wants us to do instead of what we want to do. But all of these things are easily payed for with the grace, peace, and love that only our God can give. Anyway-- I know that there's this myth that Christians have really strict laws to abide by. That we have to live a perfect life, and blah blah blah. In today's

Song of Songs 5-8 CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE. Yes, I'm quoting Elvis. Believe it or not... even though he died of a drug overdose and had really weird dance moves, his song title applies quite nicely to today's reading. If you haven't already, read these four chapters with the BIBLE READER to the left of this post or at http://www.bible.com/ . Okay, so let me explain myself. First off... one of my FAVORITE VERSES OF ALL TIME was in today's reading: Song of Songs 8:4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. We all have those days when we feel like throwing in the towel, or just lying under the covers and crying our eyes out. What... I'm the only one? Oh, well this is embarrassing. Regardless, when I have these types of days, I do the good little girl thing and open my Bible. At first, I just did it because it was the only thing I knew to do. But it was amazing when I did, because the verse I read was PERFECT for what
