    not about food… at all

    Hey family, I guess i have some explaining to do as to why i have not been blogging about all things gastric and tasty, or not for that matter. I’m bad at excuses, i’m also a wonderfully terrible which I am marginally happy about. I do miss ranting to you who read this. What i miss most of all the freedom writing about something you love brings. Today i’m in Vienna, Austria and I feel no tug on my heartstrings to write about food, or drink.

    Every person in their life had faith. Faith about and in something. I know most of you know i’m  a Christian, which means I have faith that God came down to earth as a breathing, sleeping, eating man. That he died on the cross for my sins, that I am bad, I can do no right, I am nothing without Christ. I have faith and believe that he died and rose three days later for my trash, fear, and lies. 

    What I mean about everyone having faith is this. You believe there is no God, then you have FAITH that he does not exist, faith in what is not. If you believe that God does not exist i don’t wanna make you feel like your from district nine, He loves you regardless of what you believe, and besides i have a camel well wedged into my own eye, and i sure as hell am not coming after your speck.

    What i wanna say/convey this breezy, european spring evening is this. I have faith in God and call myself a Christian, play in christian bands, speak at conferences, see amazing works of God, see people saved, lives changed, but i still lose faith. Still. I am still scared of airplanes, appendicitis, playing and singing in front of people, being honest about my faith even sometimes.

    I still seek God the most when i need something, I still call on him in the most honest/faithful way when me or my loved ones are ill, or in destitute.

    What i mean is this. God gets our faithlessness, He isn’t going anywhere… no matter how many times when have no faith in him, in his truth, he is there. He is there with abandon.

    get comforted, get real, you are loved.

    38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
