Prayers, thoughts and hopes of a small town girl from Ky, living on the edge of a big city.
SO. I must say. That. (Okay I’ll stop the choppiness now). I must say that it is so relieving to believe in my God, and trust in Him, and put my faith in Him. Because whenever I start to worry about anything; school, work, boys, the future… it’s just so relieving to sit back and think—wait, It’s going to be okay. God has a plan for me and I am on that plan, so just calm down. God has you!
Boys are idiots, we all know that (except the penis-wielders themselves, they seem to be in the dark). But I am restless to meet my future husband. (Aren’t we all?) But I just have to wait because when God has him come along, we will be perfect for each other right then and there. I am so excited for this moment!
As far as the hypocrite thing goes, I will try to say it as concisely as possible - Christians are labeled hypocrites because we believe that certain things are wrong, tell others that they are wrong, and yet sometimes do them ourselves. But as Christians we are striving to be Christ-like. It is very hard, no one is perfect. But we are trying. And we make these attemps vocal so that we can be held accountable and try to spread Christ’s love. But we slip up like everyone else does.
Personally, this is how I feel about it. I am currently struggling to stop cursing for example. Well, if my friends are saying F this, F that and even if I was yesterday, I might still ask them to tone it down a bit, because that kind of influence makes me want to do it. If they tone it down, then it will be easier for me to abstain. And if I slip (which I do daily) someone may want to call me a hypocrite for asking someone else not to curse so much when I just said a curse word. But I am TRYING NOT TO. Sheesh. No one is perfect. But I am trying.
I know there truly are people out there who claim to be Christian and try to act like they’re attempting to live in Christ’s image, but they are horrid people. I know that, but there are bad apples in every group. Just try and think twice about things from others’ perspectives and you may understand something you never had before.
Similarly, I don’t like this whole new consciousness thing. I am appalled by it actually. Anyone who believes all religions are just different means to the same end can take their relativist ideas and go sit in the land of meaningless pondering for eternity as far as I care. But they should be aware - that land will be very hot, very dry, and very full of torture.
Blah. I am not even good, let alone anything worth loving. And yet, Christ DIED FOR ME ON A CROSS. I can’t even fathom that kind of love. God is so good and he loves you. Please understand that people. He is the creator of this world - it does have it’s problems, I know. But He didn’t do that, we did. I wish everyone could believe in God because then He would feel the love from His children that he so deserves.
Goodnight and goodbye.
