Living Outside the BUBBLE

Okay so living outside the bubble is what I wanted right?!?! Well yeah, except for the fact that you are thrown back into the wolves so to speak. I have sort of lived in this "bubble" for the last nine months, and I feel like the bubble burst and I was thrown back into the world, and not just any world, but the PIT! And to make matters worse, I am single again too...I mean thats always enjoyable, I love it, but it just adds to the problems. Anyways, here are just two examples of how wonderful the "gentleman" in our secular society behave...
Disneyland: My and Nikki are strolling along by Pirates one evening at Disneyland when out of no where this guy with some weird flasher on his shirt rubs up against me. My initial reaction is that well the crowds are big and this is disneyland...so of course I didn't think anything of it. Until he decides to have a conversation with us...small talk at first. I am ignoring him and pinching Nikki as if to give her then hint to get out of here, but she is a nice person and continues the small talk...that is until this "Gentleman" bluntly asks "Hey so do you girls want to go back with us guys to our hotel and drink?" WHAT?!?!?! Who does that...needless to say we said no. Yeah as Nikki pointed out they may have been attracted, but what is this world coming to? What the heck? I'm just really amazed at how low our society has become. You can only imagine what their true intentions are.
Saddleback: Then in my class, well I don't want to go into too much detail just in case this lovely person somehow reads this...but anyways, yeah something not so great happened.

And that's just the start! It breaks my heart. I in no way am claiming to be some perfect righteous person, but I am just realizing how lost our world really is and it is a constant reminder to be the salt and the light of the earth!
MATTHEW 5:12-14
"Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.""

Anyways, the one plus I have noticed is that there are many opportunities to witness and to be that living example of Christ. Its cool living outside the bubble...I don't want to be back in it, it is giving me a new found opportunity to cling to the Lord and to find my strength in Him. PRAISE GOD!!! :)
