I am Kristin Huff

I am NOT a morning person at all and would rather stay up late than get up early!! So, at night is when I love to do my quiet times with God. Throughout the last month, I have been going through the book of Matthew. I felt like I needed to read and fall in love with Jesus all over again. The miracles he does, so many times, just mesmerize me. He healed so many blind people!! In my opinion, this shows me that he took me from my blindness of being lost and brought me to see again with him in my life. He healed me! I could go on, but this is not what has been on my heart lately. 

A couple of nights ago, I was reading Matthew 21. One of the parables in it is of two sons. This parable hit hard for me! It tells us how wrong our society has it! Go read it! 

(Kristin's paraphrase) A father asked 1 son to go work in the vineyard. He told him no he didn't want to, but later did it anyway. The 2nd son was asked the same thing except he said yes, but didn't do it. 

Jesus asked "which one obeyed his father?" 

 Well, obviously the 1st one obeyed. Jesus went on to say that corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes that know Christ will get into heaven because they believe. But the ones who just act like it, won't because they rufuse to believe and repent. 

I see so many of my friends being the 2nd son. They think it doesn't pertain to them. They are the special ones. Why are we saying that we love Christ but being hypocrites and doing things that are sinful? I physically lose sleep and have had many tears because people in my life are doing this fact thing. Why do people in our society think it is ok to live out our faith casually? They put Jesus on the back burner until something bad happens to them and then blames him for the bad things that happened. Yes, I have many reasons that I could blame Christ BUT I CHOOSE not to. Christ brought these dry bones back to life. He continues to bring opportunities and situations in my life that only he could have made happen. Christ took my father but he taught me so much from that that I get to share to the world. What a blessing that is in itself! 

I thank God everyday for what he has done in my life and I will continue throughout the good and the bad. 

I am Kristin Huff and I will not approach my faith casually!
