let's view the world through Jesus' eyes

Christian world view baby! This class was a blast - minus the bad cold that I started out with in the beginning of the week. Unfortunately Sunday night - after a crazy weekend of camp and church ministry- I felt a bad cold coming on. After a long night of being wide awake and feeling sick the Christian worldview class was staring me boldly in the face, and lets just say I wasn't feeling it. I went to the doc on Monday afternoon with some of the beautiful kaleo ladies and got myself some lovely antibiotics, which I must admit took their precious time to work. I missed some of the first day of class, but I must say the idea of figuring out how to view the world as a follower of Christ did indeed fascinate me. I loved our professor! Cal Macfarlane was incredible! He was incredibly understanding of me being sick, and I completely enjoyed the way that he walked our class through forming a Christian worldview. I had never taken the time to realize the impact that all of the influences of the world have had on me. I have been formed and changed to fit along with many patterns of the world, and Cal's class encouraged me to reconsider much of what I have learned to be truth in our individualistic culture. I want to see the world as Jesus sees it. Good Friday was a great day - we had chapel in the morning and prayed and talked about the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross - I loved reflecting on this. In the afternoon - unfortunately the power went out - but we still wrote our final exam, it was a good time. On Saturday we went over to Salt Spring Island and looked around. It is a beautiful Island with many small tourist stores - I enjoyed our time over there and being on the ferry. That night we watched the Passion of the Christ and I was absolutely blown away by the love of Jesus. I wept as I watched my savior take the sin of the world upon himself and place himself in direct line with his Father's wrath. The wrath of God is a scary concept and Jesus took it all when he died on the cross. I was so thankful. I could not have woken up more thankful on Sunday morning that Christ is risen! He is alive! I love that Jesus is alive!
