Actions Speak Louder

So. Ya.

Today I had a bio essay due. Bio was first period, so I had to finish it before going to school. In other words, before going to sleep. This ended up taking me until about 2 am... Probably not the best idea to have youtubed kpop and msn up to distract me... I really dislike essays...

So, ya. Yesterday I went to church and then I went to work and then I did my bio essay. That's pretty much it, except for the details.

In Sunday school we were learning about John 3: 1-21. Also, there was banana cake. Mmmm banana cake.

John 3: 16-17 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son to judge the world, but to save the world through him."

During service Pastor DB was talking about how the church shouldn't be the only thing attracting people to God, but that in the missional church the common believers would go out and bring God to others. He was saying how we should be prepared and practiced to share our faith with others and be able to act at every oppourtunity to share.

At some point, someone had taght me that the best way to show God's love is through your actions.

So, anyways, I go to work. It's a normal Sunday at work... Very little to do... One way I've found to bring God into my job is by having the radio on 99.1 when I'm in the back. It's often really cool, I just don't enjoy the gospel groove segment... Anyways, I was cutting watermelon for the fruit salads that I have to make. I cut watermelon differently then the other guys in produce. I cut the ends and then cut off the rinds from top to bottom until only the pink part is left.

Anyways, the girl in bakery saw me cutting the watermelon and asked me about it. She then asked if I ever eat any of the cubed fruit for the fruit salads. I replied "not anymore." She asked "Did you get caught?" "No." "Did you get tired of it?" "No, I realized that it was stealing." or something like that. She then said "I never steal" in a somewhat sarcastic tone and I think "I'm not one to judge you." because, ya, I had stolen in this manner a number of times a while ago.

I don't remember whe exactly, but I definately made an effort to stop stealing from work after some church event of some kind. I still get tempted to, like, eat a piece of pineapple or whatever, but it's not even worth thinking about. I mean, what is one piece of pineapple? So I just don't think about it and just finish making the fruit salad and move on.

Anyways, the point of that story was that immediately after I had that brief conversation I felt like I should tell her more about God and stuff. I also realized that everything I had learned earlier that day was true. My actions spoke louder than my words would have, just talking about fruit salad was an oppourtunity to evangelise, and that Jesus came down into this world to save people, not judge them.

Anyways, I felt really awesome right after that. Seeing the truth revealed in my own life. Also, they played "Who AmI" on the radio. xP

The rest of the night was cool, until I went home and had to work on biology.....

I also accidentaly knocked off my pokewalker and realized just after getting to work. I started freaking out, thinking like, "Where is it...? Probably at church in the couch... or the car,,, or somewhere in my house... probably at church... O wait, I can't go back to church until Sunday..! ... I'm sure it will be fine... It's a piece of plastic, what do I care..?" so ya. It's a piece of plastic. Why am I so attached to it..? (It was in the car... phew. >.>)

So, ya. That was yesterday.
