Jesus Loves Trump AND Obama

The Bible is pretty clear when it says to love everyone, so why have we decided politicians are not included?

Hey Christians, can we talk abut something for a minute? Just us.

Now, when I say Christians, I am not specifying republican or democrat, black or white, man or woman. I mean those after God's own heart because that is all that really matters here.

In light of what our country has been going through this last year, I think we all need a reminder of who we are and how big our God is.

Galatians 5 says, "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."

I understand that we all make mistakes. We are human after all. But as Christians, we are held to a higher standard than the rest of the world. Therefore, as cliche as it is, I urge you to think, 'what would Jesus do?" next time you think about getting on Facebook and bashing one of our presidents.

I am not saying you have to agree with everything they say or do, and I highly encourage you to vote and advocate for change. However, you absolutely MUST do everything out of love.

Donald Trump and Barack Obama are both God's creation and are fearfully and wonderfully made in his image, and He loves them more than you could ever imagine. His love for them is unconditionally and everlasting. No matter their beliefs or their choices, their heavenly Father still loves them.

Now, I don't care who you voted for. Pray for Donald Trump and everyone else in Washington because they are leading our country now, and that is a big job for anyone. If God can create America, He can take care of it.

God has a big beautiful plan for America, so it is time we start praying about it more than we post about it and trust our God.

Now, let's go out there and love people they way we have been called to and maybe we will make a difference in the Kingdom.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
