Hi. Can I start blogs with "hi"? It's my blog I guess. So hi.
CZECH Prayer update:
-Got work off (3+ months with a job when I return... yesss) We all know God is the only one that can pull that one off
-Almost done with the application, I'll be sending it to Josiah Venture within the next couple days
-Encouragements are flowing from people I love. The most joyful part of the process may I add
"Do I have to be perfect to be consistent?"
This is a question myself and a few friends of mine were faced with this Tuesday Night. Crap. That's seriously a hard question. God says a lot to his followers in His word. How to face, to stay above , and repent from sin when it has or hasn't already completed itself in you. This can be overwhelming for a follower of Christ. Yet a relieving feeling subsides. Relieving, how? Because of this. God has such a great goal for us, that we will never be able to deliver, simply because we are not God. He also warrants so much grace , that it makes up for all that we cannot be or know. He knows we are sinners and that we just...can't...ever be perfect in His plan. So "Do I have to be perfect...." No. Because we can't be perfect. Since we can't be perfect, we cannot be perfectly consistent. "....to be consistent?" Be consistent in Him and He'll fathom the realism of your heart.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "But he said to me "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
