Amy, Great post!

This is one of the best explorations I have seen of the phenomenon referred to in Titus 2 – that the process of receving grace actually propels us away from sin, not toward it:

Titus 2:11-13

11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
NIV

[...] I’m so excited to report flights are booked, schedules are being finalized, and I’m finally, Finally, FINALLY (!!) heading to Gulu, Uganda (Africa) September 22 – October 3 to Mocha Club’s Child Mother’s Village of Hope. As many of you know, I’ve been longing to visit Gulu for the last four years, and am convinced that God has saved me for this trip specifically, as I’ll not be going “just to go,” but will be joining the people I and many of you have been supporting and gathering support for in the Village of Hope over the last two years through my artist partnership with Mocha Club. It seems that what began as a small seed planted by Mercy’s tragic story and my never-quite-enough involvement with Invisible Children has grown inconceivably bigger. This isn’t just about taking a missions trip; it’s about traveling to the other side of the world to meet my heart-family and gather up a piece of myself I didn’t ever know had been planted in Africa long ago. I’m leaping for joy over this opportunity! (If you want to know more about the lead-up to this trip and my “history” with Africa, check out this blog! [...]

Comment on For Anyone Who’s Been Told to Be Something They’re Not by leanna jackson

the part where you said, ‘I will always be slightly obnoxious. A breath of fresh air to some, and an unpleasant smell to others.
But I am who I am.’ was something i more than needed to hear/read. it’s okay if some people hate me and the way i do things and think i’m totally obnoxious. it’s good to be different. it’s so hard to be okay with yourself when you are around people who find you super annoying.
