Something interesting to think about

Its very difficult to help people understand what is going on. Everything from going to a different country to your own. I have realized that you can only communicate so much. You are the one who experienced it and you cant explain the experience itself unless that person has been thru the same thing. There have been so many times where I want to inform people of whats going on but its hard to communicate that...

So, example, Im here doing Mardi Gras and christians automatically assume the worst of it all. Well, it does get bad at times.. take yesterday for example.. I stood and watched people argue. One group held up signs to the extent of, "Your going to hell." "Listen up all of you homo's, librals, democrats, sex addicts, baby killers, hypocrites, perverts, good people, fake christians, god haters,..." Ok you get the idea, but it was intense. They held up signs, yelling into microphones telling people they were going to hell for their evil ways, etc. Its difficult to watch. It got worse actually, two men decided to get into the middle of it and make out. Well that caused an uproar and they actually started to fight. The police came in and broke them up. It was horrific for me as a quote on quote 'christian' to watch. Because, it makes me feel ashamed to be one. That is how they look at us...and is that really the way of effectivly reaching people??? wow...something to think about pretty much. But the most MOST difficult thing, was NOT to judge them. Which was so hard. I wanted to get in the middle of it and tell them to stop acting like babies. There was this one man mocking them into a microphone saying, "Blah, blah, blah,..." and kept going.

What do you pertake of all of this friends? Its become a daily thing, Ive watched that sort of thing more on one occasion. Its something that really happens. But then you have the conversations with the people who know that there is something 'different' about you. Like the last few days, I have been talking to this tarrot card reader and she is so amazing!! As in, a person, not her readings haha, but shes so easy to talk to. She knows that im a 'christian' but I dont press anything on her. We have great conversations and she also knows im not out to 'convert' her. But you meet the most amazing people and you have the greatest conversations with them.

The thing thru all the midst of this crazyness,... is, God loves them, just as much as he loves you. There are too many people in this world to only be focused on yourself. It makes you realize that people go thru the same things you do. But in the midst of it, God still loves each and every one.

This has been a great week so far :) We leave on wednesday :( Im sort of sad about it, when at first, I didnt want to come at all. But knew God had something here for me and he does. Thank you again for reading this :) Be blessed friends.
