we dont need....

to dress a certain way. or to have a boyfriend/girlfriend. or to hang with a certain crowd. or to look a certain way. or to say certain words. or listen to certain music. or change depending who we are with. or try to fit in.

God loves us just how we are. there really are no catches. i know ive posted a blog similar to this before. but really it is so true, and so often we forget about it. i listened to a talk tonight at church, from a lady called Sarah who lives out in Romania. she is from Luton, and has gone out there to help set up safe homes, and give the kids out there the love they deserve. Sarah was only a couple of years older than me when she went out there, and now 5-6years later she has set up a charity called Romanian Relief. now listening to her talk tonight and watching a video thats been put together, and seeing how some of the kids live out there and how they are treated, really really really made me realise just how much i take things for granted and to be honest how selfish i can be. and just listening to her talk, made me think again about all i listed at the begining of this blog. and really how those things wont and cant make us completely happy. we are loved by God just how we are. and really i wanted to share that. cos God loves us all just how we are, and those things may make us happy for a while but if we ask ourselves deeply if they will make us happy forever, the answer would probably be no. we need to be more grateful for what we have, cos we have it good compared to some people, and i just felt that once again on my heart tonight. and want you guys to think about all you have and how you have it good too.
