And don't let me not mention the fact that my finace is white....... LOL
Anyway, like I said, this is just something I've noticed within the last year.

HK74,
I think once a person really and truly surrenders to Christ and realizes how deep and pervasive the calling is..its impossible to put anything before that including race or sex. And unless you have this Revelation, you won't understand. I used to be on the other side of the issue...I lived my life and did what I wanted when I wanted..of course I went to church and lived a good life..but I had my own agenda...my Sorority, my friends, my pro-black agenda, my career, etc. I would sometimes be doing Delta stuff 4 out of 7 nights of the week..I looked at it as though since I was doing "good" in the community..that that was all I needed to do.. I now see that being a nice person or doing good won't get you in God's presence..I now see that when you're on your own agenda, its impossible to be completely surrendered to God's or the Kingdom's agenda.. We serve a jealous God and he wants all of our efforts..There is no wonder Paul said I die daily because its not easy to put your own wants in the background...
So in short...I feel you...I definitely do...all we can do is pray for those that are not there yet...and live by example..
