i wish i had a thing that said: Currently listening to. Well, if you like to know... Artist: Story of the Year; Album: Page Avenue.
anyways...
Proverbs 10:19 "When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise." Blam. There it is. My conclusion: I've said too many things that I shouldn't have. And, that's not lying to someone. It's caring for someone's feelings. I thought just to be flat out honest and say everything I was feeling was the way to go. Wrongo. So, I'm sorry that emotions grabbed ahold of me, rather than me letting God grab ahold of my heart and my mouth.
Right now, at this very instant, I know. I know what to do and I know what not to do. I know that I'll be too much of a procrastinator and a chicken to do some of them and I know that I'll be to weak to not do some of them.
"the stars will cry the blackest tears tonight... I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day..." I know that God is ready to respark the revolution in YOU and in me that we could never ever imagine. I also know, that evil is at work at this very instant in YOU and in me. Evil is making us feel comfortable with the now. We've got it good. No doubt. But do they have it good? Does the whole world know of God's imeasurable love. Call me a corny Christian. Say I'm filling my guilt quota right now. But NO. I care for YOU, for US, for THEM. And until we all realize that comfort is not going to be an option most of the time, then evil will triumph more and more. And right now I say: Check yourself. Is God alone enough for you? Is the thought that you know immeasurable amounts of people will go to Hell if you don't save them? You have a responsibility to change the world for the GLORY OF GOD. God has watched you all of you life, and has loved you and will love you more than you know. He knows that you're not feeling tip-top, but he knows you still have power through Him. He loves you more than you will ever know. But he is waiting for YOU and ME to act.
C.S. Lewis says something like, a righteous person thinks he/she is a not good of a person, but a person submitted under evil thinks he/she is not that bad person. Check yourself. Do you think your pretty good?
We will never be perfect. Why? What is it that's keeping you from getting there?
I loved when Rob Bell said it (in reference to the story of Peter walking out on the water to Jesus): We usually have faith in God, but sometimes we don't have faith in ourselves. Jesus has faith in us. So why don't we?
We are capable of doing what Jesus did-- changing the world for the glory of God.
Shalom.
P.S. I have a paper to type due at 10 in the a.m. I don't think I'm ready to write it because I just realized it's supposed to be everything I believe is the "right way". A.k.a. I have to figure out the answers to all of life questions and write them down in 8 to 10 pages.
P.P.S. I played Dance Dance Revolution today for an hour in Nick Best's room. I suck at it. But I can break it down on the dance floor, so that game is obviously the nerds' revenge to attempt to be cool and x out the guys with rythm. Nice try nerds.
