So I haven't blogged in nearly a year I guess so I think its about that time to start blogging again. So as you can tell the Boise thing did not work out. It is currently on hold until our economy gets better, so hopefully one day we will get to go there. It is still like the greatest place ever to me, and I would be totally happy moving there and seeing what would be in store for us there. Not too much has really changed since I have stopped blogging so I will just get right into what I really wanna talk about.
This summer Brandon went on tour for about a month with the band that he is currently in called The Captive. While he was gone I decided to do a little soul searching since I had plenty of time. I know that if you know me you will know that I was raised in church and have always believed in God, but I dont think I ever fully understood what it meant to be a follower of Christ until this summer. I have never been one to totally dive in and give myself fully to God, mostly because I think I was always too scared too. Which it still is pretty scary to think about especially when you read the bible and Jesus is talking about Letting the dead bury their own, and leaving everything you have taking nothing with you not even saying good bye to your family. So I have been trying to read as much as possible and listen as much as possible to hear the Lord in my life and figure out just what I am suppose to do here on this earth. Its a little scary sometimes, and not always what you want but I think thats just how it goes.
I have read some really good books which I would recommend such as Crazy Love by Chan.. Sorry cant remember his first name. But anyways that was the first book I read and mostly what it talks about is not being a lukewarm christian and how God will spit you out. I felt pretty guilty reading this book but its totally worth it. I also read the Shack which is a little far fetched but I really enjoyed it. I am currently reading the Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne, who by the way is an amazing person and has started an amazing organization in Philly called the Simple Way.
I just really want to strive to be more christ like and less like me I guess because I find myself judging gossiping and doing a lot of the things I would like to stop doing. I especially want to be able to love everyone the way God tells us too, especially since I work at the mall. haha
I think thats about all I have for right now..
