How can I bring glory to God in my everyday life?
I am sitting here in class at Cal State Fullerton listening to my instructor, while playing on the internet reading other people's blogs, and I am just as bored, quite, and tired as the rest of my classmates. Really the only tangible difference in this moment between me and the guy sitting next to me is a few unspoken cuss words (before class started he kept saying f*@# as he was describing this artist he loves).
How am I a "city on hill" sitting in class with my sweater zipped up and mouth pursed?
How am I "salt and light" to my classmates with my arms crossed and sighs escaping from me like the rest of them?
It's in these small moments that I really don't feel anymore saved then them. I am a new creation, but really? Where is the Spirit of God living in me in those moments? When I get up from my seat and rush out like I could care less to know any of them, am I totally leaving Him no room to work through me?
Jesus says that they will know us by how we love.
How do I love my classmates?
Lord, I feel like You've been teaching me how to love people in other areas in my life, will you teach me at school...

Brilliant Kimi, totally wise thinking. I grew up liking a song that says "and they'll know we are Christians by our love." And I came to the realization as an adult that "Would anyone really know that I was a Christian by my love?"
Heart questions are the kind I like. :)
another thing that makes you different is that you are thinking this way. you are asking these questions. that is NOT "normal" as the world goes... it is evidence of the Holy Spirit alive and working in you! :-)
SO good... love it when he calls us out. it is hard when we're not content to try to be happy and be light. keep on keepin' on girl - you're almost done :) miss you!
