I think there is one other topic I would like us to talk about that will help us figure out the first one. It is hard for me to put it in a concise sentence or question so I will just throw it up.
How are we suppose to live as followers of Jesus Christ? What is the Body of Christ suppose to look like? Is the church following this correctly? I have been struggling with this because of a few reasons. On one level I am sick of how my faith is going, I feel unfulfilled at times, and I feel like there is more. Also being in school at Fuller has made me wrestle through my faith and has taught me so much, which I never knew before. And being in school really makes me challenge and question the church, specifically the one I attend, and I just don't see the two lining up (right now being what I am learning in my Gospels class and the early church compared to my church today). Finally, now that I am interning at the church and taking a leadership role, I am expected to know how to lead. For instance my small group, which are guys that are young in faith, have no faith, or somewhere else but looking to me for answers. And I am trying to figure out exactly how to lead.
I guess now that we are gettin older and some of us are having babies its time to figure this stuff out.
I love you guys and gals.

Hey donkey, way to pose a small question! No, J/K I am with u and struggling with my faith and fulfillment. can't wait to discuss this stuff and begin to challenge one another. Maybe we should just follow the levitican law, it's all spelled out?
Man I have so much to say about this. Both of the topics you brought up... (probably because they are questions about Christianity as a whole so it pretty much covers any question i've ever had). Anyway staying on topic (sort of). These are questions that i wrestled with HUGE about a year ago and feel like the Lord gave me huge insight into how the Holy Spirit is such a vital part of this whole equation. But we end up over looking His role inside of us and feeling lost because of. So I guess this is just me saying that I’m really praying that the Holy Spirit (our Counselor) will come and rock out through this blog. I mean if the Holy Spirit is what set the church of ACTS of fire (kind of figuratively and literally at the same time) then He can totally do that again today in our little 4 person church and I’m expectant of that.
Alright I need to get back to selling black babies ;) haha jk- that sounds so bad! But I’ve got a lot more to say so watch out… soon I’m going to leave a mini novel as my post! Love you all!
