Judgment Vs. First Impression

I had been talking to one of my friends about the difference between judgment Vs. first impressions. What's the difference? When someone walks in the room and you look at them and make assumptions based on their appearance, that is judgment. But say you see that person and decide to go to talk to them and after that short period of time you come up with your opinion of that persons personality and a general knowledge of what that person is about. I can tell you from a personal experience I have been on both sides of that more then once. I have been the one judging and the one being judged. I have also been the one making the decision to get to know people and have had people in turn do the same with me. If you have been the one being judged, you know how hurtful that really is. Because it is in our human nature to do so, we must be purposeful in our daily decision to not do that. I have had people that have made judgments about me purely based on how I look. IT HURTS. Just because someone likes fashion and makeup does not mean necessarily that they have no depth, and how can you really figure that out until you actually try to get to know them?  If you have been judged, I challenge you to not only forgive those people, but to also try and get to know them. And if your on the other end and tend to make judgments of others I challenge you to get to know that person before making any judgments about their personality or character:)

Life update:)

Hey guys! Some of you may know that I'm going on a mission trip this summer, but for those of you that don't or wish to know more I encourage you to click the link below or go to my Facebook fan page to learn more:) This journey began about four years ago. I had signed up to go to the Dominican Republic with my old church, but because I was the only one that signed up I was not able to go :/ Ever since then I've had a heart for the Dominican Republic. I've always had a heart for orphans and I'm thrilled that I get to work with orphans in July!!!!  I leave July 16 and return home the 28th! I would really appreciate your prayers! God has blessed me so much by giving me opportunities to earn the money for the trip:) I still have a little ways to go and I'm hoping to not only raise enough for me to go, but to also support one of my best friends and help her pay for the rest of her trip. If you are feeling led to give there will be a link below where you may do so. When you click the link there will be a large green donate button on the side. If your just interested in knowing everything we will be doing and any extra details about the trip, it will be on that site as well:) Thank you guys for all your support! Can't wait to share all the amazing things that are gonna happen before, after, and during the trip<3 Love each and every one of you!
