So lately i have been struggling with my own mind. Mostly my struggles deal with how Christians treat other people. Even more, how people treat other people. We all go about our daily lives, and as Americans we are most likely busy. We have people in our lives who we care about a lot, then there are others who we would deem as acquintances. I love the people in my life. Everyone of them. I don't show that love all the time, but i do care about every single person i am surrounded with in one way or another.

As a Christian, we are called to Love our Neighbors. That is a hard thing to do. I think i struggle with HOW. What does loving someone else look like? It must be different for everybody right? I think people look for signs of love in different ways, some might receive love thru words, other thru actions, and even others by time spent. I struggle with how to show and feed to the different love languages of people.

So that was a tangent, but back to the real issue at heart... loving the neighbors. Who is our neighbor? I would think in God's view it would be EVERY SINGLE PERSON. right? I mean that is what we learned growing up, you treat others with respect, and love your neighbor. Neighbor=others, and there ya go!! But we don't do we. We are called to make disciples, but does that mean forfeiting love and acceptance. Awwww... and then there is the acceptance thing. You know i have just been struggling with breaking off of conventional ways. I am beginning to see people and the world in a new light, and i don't know how to go about it just yet. I have decided i am not going to use the word "struggle" any more, because struggle tends to have a negative connotation. From now on, i will use wrestle with. Ok? SOrry this post was ridiculous, and there was no point. Off to class!
