So while I was at work I was just casually having a conversation with my self (in my head) about whether I thought about the youth going to Vanuatu as a 'missions' trip.
First thing I thought was , we are free, missions is a religious way of thinking.
Second thing was, where does the line of 'religious' thinking stop?
Like what I mean is, before we know it we will probably be saying going to church is religious, from my point of view anyways. I thought it over, and my opinion is entirely my own and I'm just sharing thoughts and don't have anything against others peoples thoughts...but, technically we did go on a missions trips, we are missionary's.
Definition of Missionary: A person sent on a religious mission, esp. one sent to promote Christianity in a foreign country.
So pretty much we are missionary's. Our mission is to tell everyone about God and everywhere, it may sound cliche but thats it...in my opinion.
I get why people say it sounds religious, cause I still think it does, but I think it holds more truth about what we are made to do than saying something else...(mind block).
We're on a mission for God, for me that is in other countries, with children, with people, with different cultures, cause that makes me the modern Mother Teresa? I already have the photos to prove.
Another thing I was thinking about it how we title ourselves, or should I say how others title themselves. Like, I believe that a man living in the middle of nowhere has as much ability to start a revival as does a 'well-known' pastor. Obviously this random man would be on fire for God otherwise my point wouldn't make sense. Sometimes I think we just need to trust each other WAY more and going to Vanuatu made me see that aswell. The majority of the time we won't trust someone because we haven't heard anything about them, or we have heard something about them. If a random guy came up to you on the street and started prophecing you may freak, and think should I believe this, but then again I don't know the guy... whereas if some random guy in your church (who you don't really know) came up and prophecied over you, I would say you would most likely accept it, simply because he goes to the same church as you, therefore he is probably on the same page otherwise he wouldn't be here. I don't know if this is making sense or not?
Hmmm. It could just be me but I think trust is such a huge thing. From personal experience I've trusted someone so much (was probably more than just trust I would say..but thats a different story) and then pretty much had it thrown away, along with my heart. It sucks. It is not a nice thing to go through at all. It sucks even more when you gave trust away so easily.
But I have also experience trust that has been broken yet it was so easily repaired based on the fact that love was in it, and love is pretty much the answer to everything. We forgave we forgot we loved. Simple.
Eh. I dunno I'm so tired don't think this is really going anywhere. But this is what I was thinking of all night, and I may or may not have put the wrong vegetables in this guy's sub because I was thinking of this or having a conversation in my head with myself...weirdo.
That's all for now. Maybe I'll have more tomorrow, I have a 9 hour shift should come up with plenty.
