Good Evening Everyone! First of all I had an extremely amazing time and will tell all about it but first I must tell you all about my newly acquired status. During the last couple days I have noticed that my life has some elements that are similar to that of a celebrity. Like a celebrity, everyone pays close attention to your every movement. Everything from who you talk to, what you eat, where you go, when you use the restroom, etc. There are those who are very open about observing you like the press and media and then there are those who hide in the shadows like the paparazzi. So they go on with their lives with nothing else to do but to key in your life and find out everything they can about it. But what happens when there's nothing to report? What happens when the celebrity wants to just lay low and focus on themselves or their families and stay out of the light? Well when a gossiper, excuse me, I mean when the press and paparazzi can't find anything to write about or there's nothing to report to support what they want to display the celebrity as they then turn to what they do very well and lie, gossip and spread rumors that are untruthful. This is the area where I'm most like the celebrity. There are certain people in this world that want things to be either their way or they are trying to acquire something themselves but for some reason I stand in the way. So when I'm laying low, trying to stay to myself, they create and spread rumors to get what they want. I know it's very cliche but it really is true when they say your haters are your biggest fans because they are the ones who pay the closest attention to your every move. And it's fine, I hope they enjoy following my life and all the excitement it involves. If it makes it easier you should just subscribe to my blog since I will be recording all my travels, trips, accomplishments, failures, and everything else that happens to happen to me on here :) just to make it a little bit easier for you. Just to give you a teaser, Seattle is next on the list. Anyway, I always follow up or start each blog with a verse that has meant something to me during the particular time of the writing and today's goes to Matthew 5:44.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
I was a culprit of this terrible sin and I wish I could go back in time and take back all the things that I have said about many individuals. I know it is too late for that but I will continue to praise the Lord and love my enemies.
(Proverbs 16:27-28) 27 A good-for-nothing man is digging up what is bad, and upon his lips there is, as it were, a scorching fire. 28 A man of intrigues keeps sending forth contention, and a slanderer is separating those familiar with one another.
(Matthew 7:1-5) 7 "Stop judging that YOU may not be judged; 2 for with what judgment YOU are judging, YOU will be judged; and with the measure that YOU are measuring out, they will measure out to YOU. 3 Why, then, do you look at the straw in your brother's eye, but do not consider the rafter in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Allow me to extract the straw from your eye'; when, look! a rafter is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First extract the rafter from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to extract the straw from your brother's eye.
(Proverbs 17:17) 17 A true companion is loving all the time, and is a brother that is born for when there is distress.
