| Kevin, Keeley, and I created the capital for CrackedPot Island |
This week was long in some points. Briefly we talked about heaven and what we imagine it to look like. I find this a difficult concept and even if it is described in the bible I find it hard to imagine for myself because I haven't actually seen it, but it'll be awesome especially if we each have our own role in heaven. At another angle it's kinda scary for me cuz as we all know there's a beginning and an end to everything. Our cars will eventually break down, our footballs will get worn out, those favourite pair of jeans will get holes. And we die. But heaven is forever. Like, FOREVER. That is one of the hardest things to comprehend for me. That and the fact that past our galaxy there are hundreds of other galaxies and space never ends. Ever. So once we're in heaven, even though it'll be great I can't wrap my mind around it being so perfect. We wont get bored, we wont be sad. What are we supposed to do forever??
At another point we discussed destiny and what that meant. I believe in destiny personally. Do people have multiple destinies, or is there one destiny at the end? Is destiny changeable? Is it everything God has planned for you? Is it the accomplishments you've had in your lifetime?
Also we had discussions on how much people give to churches today in offering, how much money is reported stolen from the church, how much money is given to Christian organizations, and how much money actually makes it to missionaries out in the world. It made us absolutely disgusted by humans. I wont get into it right now, partly because I haven't pondered it for too long, and because I'll just get made and rant. And it's something that needs to be heard more than read. It's just...unbelievable how twisted we are.
Shout out to my Grandma and Grandpa Leo cuz I love them.
Shout out to Shan cuz I really miss her.
Also shout out to my family.
And..shout out..umm..yupp...
I learned yesterday how much outreach will be. The cost of living there will be $3,000. I don't have that money. If you feel you would like to donate I am trying to set up PayPal, but there are some issues with it. At this point, you can talk to my parents. They have access to my account and it would be a great help if you want to support. The outreach amount is due by February 22. After that we'll find out how much our airfare will be. We're hoping $1,000 or less. That also needs to be payed off.
Sorry for this being short, I'll try and think of things daily so I can fill you people in more. Have a good week! (also I'm picking up a lot of saying's here, prepare for when I get home. There are still 5 months)
Oh, oh, is it me, is it me? Rachel, I haven't read for a couple of weeks because I was in San Diego, but it sounds like big things are happening, and like God is moving and at work (as always...) I'm glad you're tuning in to that, and getting a glimpse of Him. I would love to skype with you, but have no idea when/how that would happen at this point...
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you, and asking God to continue to speak to you, and show you how he sees you.
Love,
