CREATING Culture

I have mentioned before that I read a FEW BLOGS …..

THIS is the LIVESAY BLOG.

If you haven’t read it…..GO.

NOW.

COME BACK TO THIS.

AMAZING people….doing AMAZING things.

They are a missionary family of 7(as far as I can tell) that …UNTIL the earthquake….

LIVED in Haiti.

LOVED in Haiti.

WORKED in Haiti.

Now….they are in TEXAS.

“Experiencing” American “CULTURE”.

Read about it HERE!!!

I LOVE that they are RAW to the “Culture” that is so called “AMERICAN”.

And when I say “culture” I mean the materialistic consumerism.

On her latest blog she talked about the children having “fits” because  there is TOO MUCH to chose from.

You know…like 20 kinds of yogurt…or 15 kinds of EGGS.

I can relate because just yesterday I stood in front of the yogurt in the store and walked away with NOTHING because I couldn’t decide!!!!

I makes me think about how in OUR life..we have decided to try and CREATE CULTURE.

We have decided, by living on the “outside” of society,that we will set ourselves apart from “American” culture.

In OUR CULTURE… we have decided to shun monetary “riches” in favor of RICHES of the HEART.

A culture where EXCESS is just that….EXCESS.

We are CREATING a  culture where JAH comes first….not work, or friends, or money.

A culture where doing the RIGHT THING is the ONLY THING.

A culture that is PROUD to be different.

PROUD to LOVE GOD.

A culture of ONE LOVE.

A culture of CHARITY,GRACE, and HUMILITY.

I PRAY that we can MANIFEST this  CULTURE .

I pray that this is a culture that WILL ENDURE the test of time.

For our children's’  sake…..I PRAY.
