| "He told me all that I ever did."
-The Samaritan woman at the well
...and me. So lately I've been thinking about hardcore Jesus was. He was so intensely loyal to His cause and purpose on earth. I don't even think that we really understand all the risks He took. He was the most rebellious person who ever lived, in my opinion, and I'll tell you why. Jesus was rebellious against sin and He fought it to the death, the most painful death. When I say rebellious to sin, I don't necessarily just mean: hate, lies, fornication, murder, etc. Yes those, but also, Jesus completely went against the man made traditions and culture of the time period He lived in. I think that it would be helpful if we better understood the old Jewish culture (this is something I'd like to look into). I have been thinking about the woman at the well (Mark 4). Not only was she a women but she also was a Samaritan. Just one of those would have been a good enough reason for a Jewish man to NOT strike up conversation with her. Jesus had such an incredible love for people. I want to have an incredible love for people. I want to go against our cultures traditions and "the norm" and love all of those people who most despise.
I really do just want to love, and for that love to produce actions. *******************************************************************
Last night my graphite looking ring (which I got from the green goddess) broke in half. I was a little bit sad.
I just finished cooking some chicken for Rachel, Ana, and I. I cooked it with lime juice, Mrs. Dash seasoning, and diced onion and garlic. It turned out so good!!! If you ever want some mouth-watering chicken...let me know, seriously. SO GOOD! I think that I'm going to go hang out at Lidgate Park with Christina, Leah, Chris, and John Michael tonight. The five of us always seem to have an amazing time and make amazing memories so I'm excited. I've had a headache all day. I've been numb to it most of the day...but now it's getting worse, so if you think of it, could you pray for me, please? I love you all. |
