in memory of...

in memory of something that was, but then was no more.
i'm sorry, but good-bye.

Need somethings to do...

Another day... of sitting around doing nothing... and me attempting to take pictures of myself. So here I am, writing my first blog ever...
On the positive side, I went to K-days with some friends on saturday, and look at what I won at the birthday game! I am so awesome! haha :)
X-minus so many days until people start coming home! Finally! Leslie is coming home, and I no longer have to be in this friggin huge house by myself. Someone to eat with me! It's been getting awfully lonely in the past little while, esp after coming home from being in a house with 27 other people in Assumption.
So God has certainly taught me some crazy lessons while I was on my own this past year. But I've reached the point where I am in complete awe of His grace and mercy. It is true when they say nothing compares. We're all humans, and we all sin, no sin is any greater than another. Lying is no smaller a sin than killing someone, but God still loves us, and encompasses all our inequities with His love. Now what can be more beautiful than that? To know that no matter what stupid things we have done, God is still there looking out for us, and loving us in all of our imperfections.
After being up north for 2 weeks, I sense the urgency to spread the gospel for people to understand the grace and mercy and I have recently sensed on a whole new level. You can go and be with someone, and be their friend for 2 weeks, and tell them you'll be there no matter what happens. But I promise you that circumstances will come where you can not be there for them, what then? Unless they come to know and understand who God is and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, old habits will still die hard. Only God has the power to truly change someone, or to be there and love them unconditionally at all times. In the end, God offers what we cannot, and that is why on top of caring for people, we also need to share God with them. People will always eventually let you down, but God will never. Even when you're at the point where you don't think no one will love you and accept you, God will. And that is the beauty of His grace and mercy.
