HIS blood is thicker than water

I fought myself to write this post because of how sensitive of a topic race is. God has been laying this on my heart and I'm going to try to say this as politely and heart felt as I can.

Mark 10:8 -" and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh."
This verse says that when two people are married that they are no longer two, but one. I can't help but feel offended with the way that the world is separating people by race because my fiancé is black. In less than 4 months, I plan on becoming one flesh with my husband and becoming one in God's eyes, but instead the world is trying to drive a wedge between us just because of our skin colors. It hurts to see so much division and separation between people because of what's going on. But, thankfully, my God is faithful.
Mark 10:9 -"Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
When you have God joining you together NOTHING can divide you. That's why I am able to love my fiancé and know that we are the same, because we both have Christ living through us and I am no longer loving him as an imperfect, offended, human... but instead I'm loving him the way Christ wants and tells me to, and better yet... letting Christ love him through me.

See you can easily be consumed with all of the stereotypes and rude names that people may label you with, but when you have Christ in your heart you know that regardless of race you are ONE family. We are covered by His blood, and His blood is thicker than water. We can be one... and We are one body. I am beyond thankful that my God's love covers all races.

Love languages

Everyone feels loved in different ways. Well, techinically there are 5 categories of love...

1)Touch

2)Time

3)Treasure

4)Talk

5)Task

It's difficult when your two love languages are touch and talk and you're trying to feel God's love. I mean, don't get me wrong... God is capable of loving us exactly how we need Him to. But I know that is it a bit of a struggle when I can't have Him walk up to me and hug me, or have Him audibly tell me that He loves me. Sure, there's people He has given me to hug like my boyfriend, family, and friends... But it would be nice some days to literally FEEL God on my skin and feel His arms wrap around me... ya know? And it's not like I get to really talk to God... well of course I get to talk and He can hear me... but when I hear from Him it's different. Having a love language of talk has definetly urged me to read His word more and spend a lot of time in prayer. I need constant connection with God to feel loved by Him, and I am so happy that He is always willing to hear me ramble on lol.

With a love language of time, you can just spend hours and hours in His presence, worship, reading the bible, praying, ext.... and with a love language of treasure... well that ones easy, lol God blesses us with treasures all the time... As for task... I guess that could be complicated, I don't think I've ever heard of God coming into someones kitchen and doing the dishes for them. But regardless of how you feel loved, God sure does know some to give you a unique, special, tangible, love straight from Him.

It is amazing to me how God gives us what we need though. Sometimes I feel like the words my boyfriend says to me are literally God speaking to me Himself. I'm sure He uses my boyfriend to speak to me a lot... Wether it's a simple compliment, a prayer, or any word of enouragment, It's just like He knew I needed to hear that and He used him as a vessel to tell me.

CAMP!!!!!

#YAAASSSSSSS
Summer camp has got to be one of my favorite times of the year.
Friends, Fellowship, Learning, Emotions, Growing, and the wilderness... What more could a church kid ask for? You get to spend a whole week away from cars, phones, and basically all of civilization and focus on the God who created you.

Usually I'm one of the girls that's up in the front with tears falling and tissues in my hand... but this year it was so different. I actually cried once and it wasn't even over things I was going through, it was because I had sympathy for someone else. It was such a cool experience getting to watch teenagers have their lives and hearts changed up at camp. I got to sit down and watch the holy spirit move in their lives and in their hearts which ended up touching me.

Camp is a really great experience... on top of all the emotional and touchy feely stuff... you get to play games and create new friendships with amazing people!!! And it's usually a time to catch up with old friends and sometimes even find a future hubby or wifey(; I can't wait until I have kids and I can send them to camp and they can come home and tell me all of the amazing stories of how their lives got changed and everything. I know how impacting camp was for me and how much it changed my life... It's such a terrific experience. Especially when you end the last day with a smores around the camp fire, telling testimonies, and sharing laughing... Couldn't get much better than this(:
