Something Amazing

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock...

waiting.

waiting.

Waiting is just something that's become pretty much a lifestyle for me. I've always been one to be patient. For the most part, I realize that things are worth the wait. The longer I wait, usually the sweeter the end result. Something I failed to acknowledge, however, is that I can wait too long. If you're baking a cake and you leave it in the oven too long it'll get burnt.

How long is too long?

Patience is a virtue...and people do deserve second chances. But...how long am I supposed to wait for the phone to ring? How long do I wait for you to show up? How much longer do i need to wait for you to acknowledge me?

After a drought rain usually comes...but eventually another drought will come.

I'm willing to wait through this drought...

I've been waiting my whole life...not exactly sure what for...something amazing, I guess...

I just hope this time nothing gets burnt.

Taboo

For too long homosexuality has been taboo in the church. If we don't talk about it, problems won't arise...WRONG. Now more than ever the church needs to reach out. We are the body of Christ...it's our job to be His hands and His feet. Our brothers and sisters in Christ are living in a homosexual lifestyle, and instead of reaching out to them with open arms, we close our homes; our altars; our minds. It's as if suddenly we are perfection and are able to cast the first stone. Well, I Hate to break it to you, but we aren't. Ephesians 2:8 says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. If you think you're without sin, well, you're in for a rude awakening. Homosexuality is no more wrong than stealing, murder, lying, cheating, adultery...the list goes on. It's time we take a stand.

CALLING ALL CHRISTIANS: It's time that this taboo toward homosexuality ends. It's not our job to accept this lifestyle, but it is our job to embrace those living in it. It's not our job to condemn, but it is our job to love.

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE.
