Back to the real world. People keep using this phrase with me, "Welcome back to the real world." As if being at camp for six weeks was not within the boundaries of this said "real world." It got me thinking.......False. That phrase should actually be said in reverse, however, the sad part is it is not. Let me explain. Me being back, is not me being back to the "real world." I was in the real world the entire time because sharing the name of Jessus daily should be apart of the real world, but that is something the majority of this world does not do on a daily basis. So although i am back in this world, i had been living in what should be the "real world" the entire time, because the real world should daily be proclaiming the name of Jesus on the reg, the real world should be living in community with believers and building each other up....i already miss the real world, BUT i am jacked up to start making it look more like this world.
"The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him."
-1 john 3:1
The reason the world does not understand our love and passion to tell people the name of Jesus is because, they do not know him, they have no understanding of where our drive and passion comes from. At camp we studied 1 john and this verse simply gets me pumped to let people know why i do the things they do, to lead them to the Lord so that they finally get it. Its time this world looked more like the reality God intended it to be.
So while at camp i was enlightened with some facts i was unaware of that i have felt necessary to share for the sake of your own knowledge.
- Mormons hate females and coffee
- Spam is apart of the vegetarian diet
- Jesus was married
- Jesus bore children
- Teenage girls know everything
It's okay to feel completely overwhelmed by these new facts, i myself was unaware, but am so thankful for my campers for putting me straight. So today go out and proclaim the name of Jesus in this world, and let these new facts of life really sink in.
Enjoy today!
