i have worked all day!
but i feel that i have done nothing...
it's a weird feeling
my sister is coming home tomorrow for breakfast, she is a newly wed.
I just thank God for give her a nice man, who is very eager to become a christian.
They didn't marry in the church though. My sister has a very stubborn personality and she feels she has been disappointed by a lot of people in church, including our former pastor, so now she has a problem with all the church institution.
But i hope she feels bless by God, which i think is what's important.
how could you manage to pass the human errors and still be able to congregate?

Girl I know how you feel. I can get the same way sometimes. I can work and go to school in the same day and still feel like I have done nothing. But you know what its not that we haven't done anything. Its that when we finally relax it feels wrong so we accuse ourselves of being lazy instead of just letting ourselves have a break.
Now as far as your sister is concerned all you can really do is pray for her because its really hard to get through to someone who has been let down by a lot of people in the Body of Christ. I was an unbeliever for a while because of some Christians who really didn't represent Christ very well.
And as far as your question. I think that you just have to realize that your fellow brothers and sisters are human beings and all human beings make mistakes, whether saved or not. Alot may be liars and hypocrites as well, and even though its wrong to be like that its really part of our human nature to be that way. Also, whenever we do have a problem with a member of the Body we should always bring it to the Lord FIRST for manys reasons:
1. Bringing it to another person may cause problems, not help at all, or just make you feel worse if they add to your anger by talking bad about the person
2. If we just let it sit inside of us it will only brood and boil inside of us until it comes out in the wrong situation or we start to subconciously take it out on that person we are having a problem with
3.Bringing it to the Lord will bring you peace. The reason I say this is because the Lord may not always change that person or whatever they did to offend you. Also, it may sound crazy but the Lord allowing that person to offend you just may be his way for you to pray for that person. Oh and remember we have to bring these things to him everyday otherwise we will forget.
Hope this helps. I know that was long but I tend to have a lot to say about blogs that interests me.
