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).

Sunrises

Hi, hello. A sunset is always filled with inspiration and beauty. Its a marvelous site but however they can be somewhat of a disappointment. It means the end of an incredible day. The end of an adventure. A sunrise, now that is just as beautiful but along with it comes hope. The hope that this day will be better than yesterday. The hope that something miraculous will come in the day. The promise that there is another chance. The promise that its a new day. The anticipation of a new adventure. The indication that another journey has just begun. There is something about a sunrise that just can't be described. A sunrise is filled with new hope, inspiration, anticipation and adventure.

Lying

Hi, hello. This is a question that always constantly plagues my mind. We read in the bible that lying is wrong and it is taught to us from the time we can speak. Its wrong and the truth always will set a person free. Here is one thing that sometimes troubles me. What if lying will save someones life? I am not talking about the death penalty or anything because in that case if a person tells the truth they are more likely to not get the death penalty. I mean what if there is a person looking for someone because they want to kill them and they show up at your door looking for the person. What should you do in that situation? They have a gun and are going to kill them if they find them. Is it wrong to lie then to protect that person?
