Food

Hi, hello. So I have always just figured that I am one of those types of people that even if it doesn't really appeal to me I will eat it anyway if I go over to someones house. Some people just don't quite understand that I am perfectly fine with eating regular simple food and they don't always need to make this intensly fancy food.

When you smile I'll smile

Hi, hello. As much as I really am not that much of a fan of Justin Bieber simply because he sings about love but so far he is so young that I don't think he knows what love is, I think that there is some truth to that phrase in the title. I think that there is just something about when you are with someone you truly care about even if they are just as friends when they smile, it just makes you happy and want to smile even if you are frustrated with them or whatever. Seeing them happy makes you happy. There is some truth in the song.

Oreo

Hi, hello. There is just something about that delicious cookie; two chocolate crusty cookies squishing in between them delectable white cream icing. Get a tall glass of cold milk and your cookie meets its true love. You dunk and dunk and no matter what age you end up with oreo crumbs on your lips and all over your shirt. Then you need to finish this delicious snack off with a nice milk mustache and lick all the remaining crumbs out of the glass. No matter what age you are this is the cookie that raises every generation.

Hi, hello. You know being an outsider and looking into a window and seeing the way that people act I would wonder too "why would I want that?" You see plenty of Christians living "Godly" lives and sitting there condemning the rest of the world and society. Then they try and force you to believe something that maybe you don't want to accept at that time. They tell you that your belief is wrong and this one is right all though they have never actually looked into your own personal beliefs but expect you to look into theirs and follow what they believe. I know personally, I had this friend who wasn't a Christian and tried to help her out. I think she got the wrong impression and things ended badly. I don't understand how come some people though see themselves as "almighty" human beings and walk around like the own the planet because of faith and force others to love the same God that they do. Just because we are Christians doesn't mean that we live sinless lives and don't make mistakes. Regardless, we are only human and since Adam and Eve ate the fruit in the garden, our nature has been that of sin. As Christians I think that we need to be respectful of other peoples beliefs and if we plan on teaching them about ours we need to be prepared that they have every right to teach us about theirs. That may be scary but I believe that through Christ we are strong enough. Sorry if this offends anyone its just something that I have observed.

Equality

Hi, hello. Its amazing how ever since birth everyone always says that God gave you a special spiritual gift for you to use to do work for him. Eventually you find it and then you have to decide what to use that for. Then you look at someone who has many gifts and you think if we are all equal then how come he is like that and I'm not? Well as I learnt last Sunday it doesn't really matter how many gifts you are given or what they are for. No one is still above the rest. The janitor is equal to the CEO. God gives the required amount of gifts for one person to complete the task that they were assigned by him. It isn't how many that matters because we all are picked by God to do what he has designed us for. All that matters is that we don't flaunt these giftings around and act like we are better than anyone else. Its back to the whole selfishness ideal. We just need to accept our task and the way that we were fearfully and wonderfully made to be servants and complete whatever task he wants us to willingly and not just because we feel that it is our "civil duty".

Selfishness

Hi, hello. I never really have noticed how selfish I actually am until I watched that video by Devon Gundry. What cried out to me the most was that homeless man watching all of those people walk aimlessly past him and then the guy on the phone that placed money in his cup just because. Watching the way he suffered was difficult but it wasn't just that. I realized that even after I say to myself I will give to the poor and needy, do I actually do it? It brought me to tears because I felt like someone hit me over the head with a baseball bat to tell me that I am just as selfish as all those people. I walk past those people in the cities and avoid eye contact trying to get past. That voice screams in my head they just want drugs or some other unnecessary item. Then I say "why not just get a job" of course never out loud but those thoughts circulate all through my brain. Another thing that I realized is that when the man is beaten, that is me, beating each person I walk past. Not physically but ignoring them when I have a chance to change their lives for even a day might as well be a solid kick in the gut. Now that I see how selfish I truly am I am praying that
God can help me to change. I don't want to be like every other person who thinks that all they need is money for drugs. I guess it really isn't for me to decide what they use that money on only know that I did what I felt I should. God told me to give them food or money to buy food or even a jacket and just knowing that regardless of what they use that for is up to them.

Breakfast

Hi, hello. You see it in the commercials and everyone tries to convince you that eating breakfast will help you have more energy but yet you still somehow don't believe them. Well you know what? Its the truth. I have a spare first class this semester and so I take and drop my mom off at work, then come home and eat breakfast. This week I honestly had more energy throughout the day than I have ever felt like. Of course that doesn't mean that you don't need a good nights rest but it just means that you have an added bonus of energy for the day ahead. Trust me, eating a healthy breakfast is incredibly beneficial to daily life.

God and his children

Hi, hello. Its amazing how God is just right there with his children and is protecting them even when you think that things couldn't get any worse. Its amazing. He even has all those little details planned out and when you think that well, maybe if I had of waited a few more minutes it would never have happened. Well thinking about past experiences I realize that had it been any different timings it would have been worse. He has everything planned out in his hand and no matter what he looks after his children.

Hi, hello. I used to freak out when I would get a bad mark on a test or assignment and think that the world just ended. I realize now that there is far more important things that happen in life and worse things can happen. I guess its just not that big of a deal now.

Armed by Devon Gundry

Hi, hello. I just watched this incredible youtube video that brought me to tears. It was about these people who all are going through some form of grief and it was just incredible and heart-wrenching. It did literally bring me to tears. I read and interview with Eva Larue who is in the video and she said that its amazing how each one of us is going through something like that and I thought of how true that is. I encourage you to watch the video and I guarantee that you will be reaching for that box of Kleenex afterwards (unless you're heart is stone cold or something).
