How Do I Love You more?

I asked this question to God, because I feel like I don't know how sometimes.

I didn't quite listen for an answer, I thought of answers myself.

-do I pray more?
-do I read the Bible more?
-do I spend more time with people? like that verse where it says something like 'what you do for the least of these, you do unto me'?
-sing worship songs?

then I heard him say..
"spend more time with me"

man.. so true. How am I supposed to love someone by just purely doing things for them? For any relationship you build, you gotta spend the quality time together.

Its so simple... but not so easy.

I find that God has been speaking to me in ways that make things seem to be so simple..

but they are never easy.

simple and hard, not simple and easy

Truth

I find that I have been discovering a lot of truths in the past year. It's been annoying knowing that I have been believing in certain lies for so long. But those lies won't trick me anymore. I know a little bit more now of Satan's constant lies. Sometimes I feel like I am lying to myself. Sometimes I feel like believing in a lie would be better and easier for me. I guess that's why they say the truth hurts. And I know that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He calls me through the narrow gate full of truth. There are no lies down this path. A wide path can be full of millions of lies. But the narrow path only holds a certain number of truths. But its good in a sense that I know the lies. Because now the truth looks much more beautiful. And I know how unfulfilling those lies are. How naive I was. How much more now I must pray for wisdom. Not wisdom in a sense to be smarter than others, but...

Funeral

It finally dawns on me that in human nature, the moments of extreme grief occur when a loved one passes away. If you have never seen someone cry before, this is the time where you will see them cry. No one wants to see their loved one die. To take it even further, no one wants to see their children die. As a parent, it is extremely sad when your child who is younger than you passes away who is supposed to live past your own life time. Our Father understands this and takes his love to the extreme and sacrifices His own son to show that he knows grief to the extent of seeing his one and only son whom he loves very much, die on a cross in the most excruciating way. This is how he has shown his love and understanding for us. He has shown us that He too experiences grief, grief that can almost be the worst of all; one that is extremely heart wrenching and tragic. He loves us that much that he also suffers along side us in our life on earth. Not only Jesus suffers when he died on the...

Magnetawan Missions Trip Aug 14-21

Mission Trip So I just returned from Magnetawan First Nations Reserve. Its just about 3 hours north from Toronto and it seemed quite small. It seemed about the size of a small neighborhood (20 houses or so). They live right along a river, and across that river, there is a resort where people can bring their trailers, tents, and campers to stay on the grounds. That is where we lived. There were some great factors about this trip that I believe were very beneficial for being a short term thing. It is very close so it is easily accessible which cuts down on travel time and costs. It also makes it easy for future trips We partnered with a missionary family Tom and Karen who stay there full time. This way we opened doors for them to build relationships with the families that they don't have relationships with. This also enables them to continue the ministry that we have done during our week there. We focused mainly on the relationship building of the people there so that it was...
