Thanks for all your prayers as this semester came to a close. So I know I've not been a responsible writer lately, and a lot of that has to do with the end of school. I finally am done with schoolwork forever, until I decide to go to grad school...if I decide to go to grad school at all.
So basically, the last couple of weeks have been filled with catching up on school work that I needed to do, waiting for my final official letter (which came on Friday!!!) and finishing school in order to graduate on FRIDAY!!
In short, I got a job, I finished school, and I'm graduating from College...all in one week. God has been so Good.
Oh yeah...and I got my first choice, so I'm officially moving to Romania in October. I can't wait to go to a new place I've never been and experience things I've never experienced.
Thanks for your prayers through out this whole process...I will continue to update you about what goes on.
And I'll post pictures of grad at some point. Get ready to see lots of people I love!!
Here is what I saw a couple of weeks ago in front of the Potter's House on my way to church. I was very saddened by this sight, and since there was lots of traffic yes, I pulled out my camera and took pictures.
What saddens me the most about these is that there is a child holding a sign that says "God hates you." I wonder what kind of person he will grow up to be.
I did some research and found out that this was a group from "Westboro Baptist Church" in Topeka, Kansas. These people have gotten a lot of press in the last couple of years because of their beliefs and behavior. Their website has their picketing schedule and reasons for choosing certain places to picket, including taking Scripture out of context....WAY out of context.
They picket churches, soldiers' funerals, and other things that they do not support. They preach hate.
They are not affiliated with any Baptist convention.
I pray that the Lord will convict their hearts and that they would find hope in Christ's love for all because of this promise that we have in Scripture:
"You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" Galatians 3:26-29
Please pray for them with me.
Dear Blog,
I'm sorry for my absence. I have neglected you. To be honest, I have not forgotten about you, I just have lacked inspiration...and still do. I'm sure that once I'm done with the 15 page paper I'm supposed to write and have turned in by 5 tomorrow, I will visit you more often. Because then I will never have homework ever again. Until then, please stay put.
Sincerely,
Your Writer.
