Happy 27th Birthday!

Yes, that's right I am now 27....it seems like just a few days ago I was freaking out about turning 25, but really it has been three years. A lot has happened during this time. A lot of friendships a lot of growing and a lot of learning. I think that I had the most fun I have ever had this year on my birthday. I can't even describe how amazed I am by the people teh Lord has put in my path. We went to Sizzler which is completely the best salad bar in Thailand. You may not know how awesome it is to have a salad bar but trust me they are hard to come by. I could have just gotten that and been satisfied. Then we went to go downtown to see the city from the tallest building in Bangkok. They have a rotating walkway so you can stand and see all around the city. I am just so amazed and so blessed. It just reminds me how many people are in this place and how much they need the truth. After that we went to a famous place downtown. It was more famous for all the drinking and other stuff that goes on down there. It was a little sad to me to realize how unhappy life can be for some. I mean I have had my times of thinking that was fun, but I have come to a realization in the past few weeks. It is not about what the world thinks is fun. It is about the Lord, just true worship of heart and soul for Him alone.

I have been living in a life that is claiming to be souled out for Jesus, but has been sending mixed signals and messages. If I am truly abiding in Him as John 15 says then all that I do and all that I say will be of God. There will not be a moment that passes by in the day that I am not thinking of Him and meditating on His word. As much as I want to believe that there are people truly living out the call He has given them, I have to say that I think it has become more about works and what can we do to show everyone that we are a Christian. In reality it should be abiding in Him, spending time in His word and not getting caught up in being so busy that you forget to just rely completely on Him.
