KINGDOM BOUND 2012!!!

If I had to describe Kingdom Bound I would say this is how Jesus imagined Christians to live: in harmony with one another. I look at Christianity today and see major division with eachother. Man made division. I truly believe that this was not how Jesus wanted it. At KB we were each labeled with a wristband. Hologram textured, blues and golds attached on every Christian. Everywhere we looked, someone had one. We would smile in passing, say hello without hesitation and start up conversations easily. Being satisfied with the simple fact that we were all there for the same reason. It was a different world, believers everywhere, and it didn't matter what church you belonged to or what denomination you were...all that mattered was Jesus and worshipping Him together. As one. Our labels were Jesus freaks. That was it.

A joyful feeling... A gorgeous sight...

*Fun observation: in the above picture, lower right hand corner--see that checkered material? That was a young man's body suit. It covered his ENTIRE body. Including his face. Random.*

 
"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord" Romans 12:17-19

Well Done Gabby Douglas!!!




At age 16, I don't ever remember being this driven for anything. Ever. Check out this amazing video about her and her family's journey towards the olympics.

Raising an Olympian: Gabby Douglas

Another cool thing: she's a believer...She tweeted this the night before she won:

"Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me".
 (Psalm 103:2)

 And after she won the gold:

"I just give all the glory to God. It's funny how all that works, I put the glory up and the blessings come down." 

Amen!!! Congrats Gabby!!! Well done ^.^
