so lately i've been struggling w/ a situation in my life and how to deal with it.
the struggle has been between 1 John:4 19-21 and john 15.
1 John tells us to love our brother like Christ has loved us.....this is forgiving and unselfish.
john 15 tells us that through love that if our brother is not being fruitful that we should pluck away what is not producing fruit...
this has been my struggle for awhile. i like to make ppl happy, and i love to love like Christ has loved me (i teach the students 'CHRIST LOVE'...yes in all caps)...and a lot of times ppl don't see long term happiness or in this case Christ love with some of my actions.
the struggle is between being a loving door mat/grunt and being a loving Christian and offering guidance/forgiveness that is not being taken.....*sigh*
on another note.....
michael had his suprise party this weekend.
minus the blindfolded nausea he enjoyed it.
happy birthday michael!!
this is daniel sweeping michael off his feet so we can throw him in the car...for birthday suprise pt.2
