I am trying a blog for the very first time… hopefully it will be a great way for people I don’t see often to keep up with me:).
I guess if I had one thing that I could say to everyone that I have encountered over the last few years it would be that the good that they have seen is a direct result of the impact Jesus has had in my life. I have tried to be very careful and respectful of working in a place with multiple cultures and religions represented, because I do not believe that offending someone or hitting them over the head with a Bible is a way to reach out to them. I do believe that I have probably been too passive in the way I talk to people about Christ. I get angered by intolerance and people who judge or abuse others because they are different, unfortunately many people think this is the way Christians act. I know that there are many people that call themselves Christians that act this way but if they truly want to be like Christ, then they will do what He did for people that were different. Christ is our example and He didn’t curse or degrade those that were different and imperfect; He loved them, ate with them, prayed for them and eventually gave His life for them.
My biggest hope that those that feel they have seen nice or good things in me realize that truly it is the God that I serve wanting to love them the same way He loves me. There is nothing keeping them from Him, He is already loving them, all they have to do is accept that love and then grow in it.
I will keep everyone from UTS in my prayers (and my lunch plans :).
