Another weekend...
Sunday, September 17, 2006 10:00 PM


it was dv8 weekend, and i got to spend 2 days with some wonderful girls.

God did some amazing things with these girls lifes.
i didnt get what i exspected out of dv8, dont get me wrong, it was amazing and God showed himself to me in amazing ways. i guess i just exspected another HUGE thing to happen, but maybe instead of a HUGE thing, a small thing happened that will have a HUGE lasting impact.

Anyways, God just taught me how to love and be thoughtful and caring. Now im not saying im just totally changed and im the nicest person on earth, im just saying God brought it to my attention that i dont think before i speak, and my words can be heartful. ive only got one life to live with these people, only one life to make a difference. how am i supposed to make a difference if i cant even say something nice. this probably seems to be such an easy thing, being nice, but i guess for me its not. im a bold and blunt person. if i think something, ill usually say it. i just need to be careful and pray God will help me to hold my tongue. ive always wanted to set an example and have Gods love radiate off of me so people could say "thats mallory, she loves the Lord with her whole heart", but right now, over these past 15 years, i dont believe that has been true. ive wasted these years, so i guess i better start now.

life is full of its imperfections, and so am i. i just need to strive to be like Christ. He lives within me, how hard could it be,right? Wrong, its one of the hardest things, I have ever attempted.

So maybe, once i think about it, dv8 wasnt that bad, i could have gotten closer to God than i did, but its just a stepping stone. Every day counts.

Romans 2
1-2 Those people are on a dark spiral downward. But if you think that leaves you on the high ground where you can point your finger at others, think again. Every time you criticize someone, you condemn yourself. It takes one to know one. Judgmental criticism of others is a well-known way of escaping detection in your own crimes and misdemeanors. But God isn't so easily diverted. He sees right through all such smoke screens and holds you to what you've done.
3-4You didn't think, did you, that just by pointing your finger at others you would distract God from seeing all your misdoings and from coming down on you hard? Or did you think that because he's such a nice God, he'd let you off the hook? Better think this one through from the beginning. God is kind, but he's not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.



now...if only we could get rid of these distractions.
