| hmm... have you ever thought... only if i didn't do that... or if i thought about that sooner then....
i mean, some of them are good and some of them are bad memories...
maybe God is telling me to learn more about the complicated world of computers...
maybe God is telling me to get a job...
maybe God has surrounded me with brothers and sisters who are such a blessing in my life...
no matter what, i should look in a brighter light of this situation.

| The Cost of Following Jesus
As they were walking along a road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
Jesus replied,"Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
He said to another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family."
Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
today i had large group with aacf, and this is probably one of the few things that has convicted me for quite a while. when i read this before, i thought man... Jesus is a bit harsh, but basically back then the Jew's oldest son would have to basically take care of his family. so, when the man said that he wants to "bury my father," he meant that he will follow Jesus after his father passes away. then basically Jesus just tells the man that if you have all these things prioritized before following Jesus, then you are not fit to do His services.
there is always so much work and so much things going on in my life, and sometimes i feel like i just do not have enough REAL time with God. i mean, i do my devotionals and read the bible, but where is the time i just spend quality time with my father? even with all the craziness that may occur around my life, i sometimes just need to drop everything, and just follow Jesus... and, this just reminded me that there is a cost if i want to follow Jesus... whether it is to leave my family, drop all my goals, or just leaving my home... it is SO much more worth it to follow Jesus... how amazing was it back then to have followed Jesus? i mean, just seeing all He has done is mind blowing... anyways, who wants to go out and just mediate on God's word for a day? it's just you, God, and nature.
