And he mentioned blogs and I guess I didn't raise my hand because no one else did...yes I know I should have...fear of man anywaysss.
I was thinking about it though...what is it that defines me. That is, what do I think about, what do I talk about. God the Creator loves ME, am I defined by this?
I don't want to be defined by what I wear, what I do, what I say, what I look like, who I hang out with, even how nice or not nice I am.
When people talk about me I want the first thing that they think about when they think about me, is that she loves God, she's defined by her faith. Her Christianity. I want it to be defined by how I can't do anything without God, how I praise God when I talk, how I'm not worried about what people think about me, how I serve God.
How do people perceive me? Am I light in the darkness? Or am I just adding to the darkness? Or am I just hanging out with the light and not taking it to the darkness.
I just pray that God enables me to be an example to allll those around me. Also enable me to kill my pride so that I never think I'm "better" than anyone. So that people don't even see me. That all they see is the awesome God whom I live to serve.

Wow, that's really convicting, Ming! I really struggle with that as well; I want to have this certain artsy "persona" about me, so that I am defined by the books I read, clothes I wear, etc. But you're so right: that should only be a background to what people should notice first; our total abandon for Christ. Thanks-I really needed to hear that!

Great blog Ming! I like how Sam put it with his diagram thing... The closer we are to God the further we are from the world. We start out like this:
World-----------Us----------God
but as we move close to God the world leaves us...
World-------------------Us--God
