And it’s great to tell people about mercy and faith, but first you must also tell them about the law and judgment (Matthew 23:23).
It’s 7: 04 PM on day 435 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, drink coffee by myself, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – feed myself Batura and chicken curry for brunch, watch TV, feed myself a chicken nugget sandwich for dinner and brush my teeth once more.
Yesterday evening we were praying together as a family which was a fairly new thing in our house and while my father was reading the Bible I couldn’t help thinking hypocrite he reads the Bible but is ashamed of his own child – my mom has to fight tooth and nail to get him take me to parties and stuff and even when we do go he stands on the other end of the room and pretends we aren’t there – just because she is different when we were done praying I said to my father you don’t have to read the Bible for thirty minutes just learn to treat people properly looking back now I regret the judgment with which I said those words but in that moment I felt like he was mocking God. Do you call people out when they are doing something wrong or leave them alone because you’re afraid of sounding judgmental?
Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360
If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu
Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.
Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
It’s so great to meet you, Nisha! I learned about you and cause through Stan and am excited to support you! =) I just followed you on Twitter and sent the tweet you recommended out, and thought I’d stop by say “Hi” as well!
You bring up such an important reflection in this post. Since you mention that praying together is fairly new for you and your family, who knows… maybe your father’s heart is changing bit by bit. Whenever I can catch myself, I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. It’s hard to be judgmental when we are all learning together. =)
Great to meet you as well thanks for your support and who knows maybe my dad’s heart is changing i am nobody to judge – although I was judging two days ago LOL – i am FAR from perfect 🙂
Yours truly,
Nisha
