Christian V.S. Integrity

Dictionary.com defines Christian as a person who believes in Jesus Christ; adherent of Christianity. Society today has taken the word Christian and applied a million different meanings to it. "A person who believes in Jesus Christ" that definition sucks. Why is it that society finds every way possible to avoid defining REAL and TRUE Christians. Because it is so much more than that little 7 word description. To me a Christian is defined as A follower in Jesus Christ; A devoted disciple that lives for the father; Someone who loves without question; Someone who will not judge someone else because of their sin; A friend to those who dont fit in. The list goes on and on. I know why Dictionary. com has put that tiny description on the name Christian. Because most people who call themselves by that name dont live like a Christian should. They dont show love or grace to people who have fallen into sin time and time again. They judge those who are different. They deny Christ in their schools. Christians are thought of as Rich snobby people that want everything for themselves and that dont have the time to worry about poor people or homeless people or people that are dying from their sin. And why shouldnt they think that?! They have every right to think that way. Because we havent dont anything to change it. We have done nothing to prove that Christians are more that believers in Jesus Christ. Lets start Now! Lets change that 7 word description into a 1000 word essay about all the great things that Christians are suppose to be. Lets live like Jesus lived, Forgive like Jesus forgave, Love like Jesus loved, lets walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and show this world how truly Glorious he really is! I'm stoked!

2nd Week of School

Turns out... I was wrong!!! NESA was no longer my mission... I left last week and started at Johnson High School. And lemme tell ya... Leaving all of those people was one of the hardest things ive ever had to do. Basically i was complaining about Gas and how i dont have a passion to go to NESA anymore like i used to and i didnt know if God was calling me there... So my parents gave me two choices... I could either stay at NESA or leave and go to Johnson. But i had to decide that night. And obviously i chose Johnson and i have never felt better about a decision in my life... God has called me to new and greater challenges at Johnson.. But i need prayer. I am fixin to start a Bible Study there but i have to talk to an administrator before i can start it and all that... SOOOO if i can ever get a meeting with him then we will get it started! And its hard because i knew like everyone at NESA and so i was able to talk to them about my faith cause they knew i was a christian... But now... i know like barely anyone other than the few Reagan people who switched over... So im scared and slightly discouraged but im keeping my head held high because i know that i have a God who will bless me for doing his work... And i hope im doing it right! So if you read this please keep Johnson and the new Bible Study that God is starting there that he will bless it!!! God Bless and have a GREAT week!!!
