Ok so hi ya'll, well i just ate a bunch of potato chips and now i feel sick haha. So it is official I will be making my way down to ann arbor on sunday and my mom is coming too, you peeps in aa could meet her. i'm really excited to be back, i miss ann arbor, its such a pretty town. my dad said he saw aa featured on a pure michigan comericial, which by that way those commericals give me goose bumps every time, haha even though i have not seen the aa one. anyway im rambling, work is starting to go by faster, and my trip to boston is coming up in less than a month. we are going to go to six flags and go sea kayaking OH MY GOSH IM SO EXCITEDDD and i guess dale's cool too :). anyway so im continuing with romans 13. There is a particular verse that stuck out to me since it was basically the message of one of the sermons at my home church. Verse 11 "And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because salvation is nearer now than when we first believed."
The sermon was basically about how alot of christians try to get closer and closer to some sort of line that divides indulging in sins and being a faithful christian. i can say at least for myself that is something i often do, i push my limits and i think sometimes that exploits grace to be honest. my pastor talked about how you can't put christian things off and live in the now while being a christian because you don't know when Jesus is coming back, and it might be too late. I was just really blessed by that sermon and i thought i would share it with all of you since that verse reminded me of it. See you guys in a few days :)

that reminds me of what pastor seth once said - he said that there are christians who sit on the fence and stare at the other side (i.e. all the sinful things people do). and sometimes he feels like God says to them, you know what, since you're so miserable why don't you just join in on the other side and see what it's really like? after you realize how fruitless that life is, you'll come back to me. hahah. the sermon you talked about kind of reminded me of that.
