Today was one of those days that could be marked as a great day. We had a lovely baby bash for one of the gals at church. It was a super hero theme. So much fun! I would definitely say it was one of the best baby showers I have ever attended.
It was good to forget for a few minutes how sad parts of this country are right now. It breaks my heart of the the distrust and hatred that floods the cities tonight. I have to remind myself that I am in the world but not of it. It is so hard for me to understand the revenge mentality that will kill someone because they have the same profession as someone else. I am all about justice, but targeting people who actually may be someone who cares and protects your family, I don't understand. Here is where I have to remind myself that my mentality comes from Christ. I cannot expect someone who doesn't believe the way I do to have the same mentality I do.
We live in a fallen world. A world where self is center. It breaks my heart thinking about the world when my children are grown. The spiral of downward morality will only get worse. It makes me sick thinking about it.
Thinking about this brings my thoughts back to the children of Isreal who were in bondage and asked how long will our suffering be. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying we are struggling like Isreal. Just referring to the feeling of desperation.
Then I think about Lot's family. The time is coming and I don't want to be Lot's wife looking back. I need to keep my mind clean from the hatred, immorality, self centeredness, and sin that is just "normal" in our society. Right now I live a pretty safe life with the Christian friends and family that surround me. I don't have to worry about wild parties with regrets or secrets. But what happens when we move? I pray I can be strong and can keep my eyes on Christ. I don't want to be Lot's wife longing for the riches and prestige of Sodom.
