Finding Peace

Do we as "Christians" really show love by judging others lives and choices? How can we imagine what its like to be in someones position and know what they have been through. The choices we make whether right or wrong in someone elses' eyes is our journey. Sometimes it takes someone a long time to get where others already are and have been. You should be happy you haven't had to go through what others have that might have held them back in darkness.

We need to find peace and acceptance within ourselves so that we can look at others with love and not judgement. We are not God and have no idea the personal struggles and pain someone has and gone through. As "Christians" we need to only love with a pure heart and allow God to use us in any way he desires.

I feel a lot of people tend to allow their pride to elevate themselves above others thinking they are doing good when actually they are damaging another person. When we go into the world waving a Jesus flag and act in a judging way we push people farther away from him than bringing people to him.

One sin is not better/worse than another sin...it's just that some sin is visable to the outside world. You should look at your own secret sin and work on that first.

Family Photos

We had a great family photo session last night. We had met with her (Beckie the photographer) a few weeks ago but I hated the way I looked in them so she came and met up with us again. Now I want to just say that it had nothing to do with her photography but rather my self image problem. So here is some really good shots we got from yesterday. We should have them all within a week or so. The photographer that did them is amazing...here is her blog (hint we are on it! http://ellenwalterstudio.com/blog )
