180 -- iBelong
Last night we had a great night with some new people, a lot of people that haven't been too regular and of course some fabulous adults. It is tough to to figure out how to belong and to find where we are supposed to belong. The three points that I think are important are
1) Love yourself -- know yourself, know who you are so that you can fit in with a group of people that have similar interested that you have. Sometimes we get trapped being around people we don't even like or have anything in common or we find ourselves doing things that aren't us just so we can fit in.
2) Love Others -- Really care about them, encourage them, support them, live life through their perspective not yours.
3) Love God -- Trust Him, Rely on Him -- Remember sometimes doing the right thing, following God doesn't seem like the fun thing to do -- Caleb spent 40 years wandering the desert watching his friends die because he made the right choice.
I keep reminding myself that I need to spend time belonging to the place where I need to belong first -- Jesus -- man, he rocks and is worth every second that I invest into Him. He is faithful, He loves me, and He continues to show that to me, though I wish I could see the plan for my life sometime. It would make my life (in my perspective) a little more easy to live ;)
