"It occurs to me it is not so much the aim of the devil to lure me with evil as it is to preocupy me with the meaningless." - Donald Miller

And so goes the story of my life as of late. Every so often I have these moments of awakening, and I am reminded, again, just how much is going on around me. It is sickening how easily I ignore the flagrant, world-wide social injustice that is suffocating so many of the people whom God absolutely loves. How can I claim to follow/know/love Jesus but not care about the ideals and people He gave His life for? I will not be satisfied living a life centered around me. Even though awareness is, more often than not, heartbreaking, it brings me so much closer the heart of my Savior and compels me not to settle for meaningless.

Here is something I like : "The place where God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet." - Frederick Buechner


I am starting to entertain the idea that the negatives effects of capitalism may at times outweigh the positive ones. And when I say at times, I mean at THIS time, this current moment in history. Every time that I watch Motorcycle Diaries, it makes me seriously question why I believe the things I believe.

God is green. While still completely an amateur, I am - wierdly - excited about beginning to lead a life that takes into consideration the environment and taking care of what God has entrusted us with. It has come to my attention that I am an extremely consumptive person and there are a MILLION ways to use less and be more considerate of the generation that is coming after us....Mars Hill Church has some great podcasts on this topic that've given me so much to think about...pruébalos.
