Today



It hit me. Today while sitting in Starbucks reading for a class called Social Class and Inequality, I became overwhlemed. Mind you, I had only read the first four pages of chapter one, lol, so it wasn't exactly just the reading itself... it must have been that combined with some of the stuff I've been hearing in classes. But all of this is besides the point and not what I wanted to blog about...

I became sad and was just thinking... like, this world is full of such incredible inequality and corruption, selfishenss and oppression. What help is there? NO ONE has it figured out. Where is the greater good and what is it doing and what does it count for and does it help? How are we igniting change to look out for those who need advocates because there is no power in their hands to match their voices! I started freak out and get scared. Like I felt this sense that nothing is right or ok in this world.
But as I hung up my phone in attempt to call a friend to just like, pray and spill and get prayer in the midst of my fear and confusion... it began to sink in that the only HOPE and reality in this world for REAL CHANGE in anyone's life-the ONLY IMPORTANT TRUTH that could ever matter, is the LORD! The only true piece of imperishable and most important possession that truly matters in this world is the Gospel. Amen.

This is where it truly starts. And the gospel is the goal, purpose and aim for anyone in this world. And we live life being moved from there! Amen.

Thanks for reading... I'm only just starting to remember this and see this importance in the this new light. Because I have been saddened by the crap I've been hearing in school-but God is showing me to look to HIM as the HOPE! The Hope of nations. My hope. My purpose. My truth. My Father. My God and Lord and the author of salvation. Amen. May He be given to the nations. To the people we encounter everyday and in other countries throughout the world. But we must start with Him and look to Him as our one and only Truth! May we give Him! Amen.
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, be blessed and loved and nurtured in the Spirit and in Him and together may we be ignited in Him to see further Him as our HOPE and the one and true significant hope we could give to people. Jesus please help us. Thank you for this family in the Kingdom. And help us to bond and unite! Amen.
