I whole heartily stand by this quote, its just so powerful it makes my tummy flutter with the feeling that you CAN do something. It makes me wonder when I hear the news sometimes, what our world is coming to. Lately, I have noticed some things in our world that make me so upset that I don't want to be just another person passing by. Have you ever felt so passionately about something that you just wanted to scream out to God and say "Why are you allowing this? and "What can I do?". I have so badly that I feel compelled to somehow make a difference someday. Truthfully, I wouldn't even know where to start. But then i thought, plenty of people out there Right Now, can handle the physical movement. What I'm good at, is sharing my opinion. That could be a good thing or a bad thing... but in all seriousness, what this world needs is a voice of reason and a follower of God, stating- This isn't right. God is everywhere, don't take him out of the picture. Of course we cant change it in a day or even a generation, but I have some faith in God, actually a LOT of faith and I know it's the only thing giving me peace of mind during these complicated times. You can't just let people step over you or push you down. And sometimes, as brave as it is, physical courage doesn't resolve anything. But if you make a statement and start a movement, you'll see how many people are willing to get behind you and support you. So many times I feel its easier to be silent and melt into the crowd. Its risk-free, you don't make enemies, but you also don't make anything of yourself. Doing nothing leads to more nothing. Don't be afraid to share if you oppose or support something that you feel strongly about. Its okay if your the only one because it also takes a whole lot of courage to respect others opinions. Just remember, God wants you to live like Jesus. That means loving ALL people but not ALL of their beliefs and opinions. Recall that even Jesus stood for what he felt was wrong in a very loud way. (Luke 19: 45) Don't conform to what is said to be popular. Don't hide and hope it will go away or all work out. If no one raises their voice, how are we to be heard? The devil never takes a break, he always has someone out there trying to bring us down. Satan hasn't a single salaried helper; the Opposition employ a million. ~Mark Twain~ Okay but clearly, if Satan can recruit a few million, why doesn't God?? He already has. It started with Jesus, who has forgiven us and given us new life. Now its up to us to continue the revolution, to live our life for Him.
It is curious-curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare. -Mark Twain.

This is just a quick update! Daylight Savings Time has begun again and I'm back to waking an hour earlier. Truthfully, i don't like to think about it because the particulars of time vs reality are very confusing to me... :D Rather than trying to understand the time change, I think it's more important to accept that time is not as scientific as we perceives it.
"Life Is Not Measured by the Number of Breaths We Take, but Instead It Is Measured by the Moments That Take Our Breath Away." This quote reminds me that time is a man made system of measurement. It was not meant to be measured by a clock, the minutes and hours ticking away. The first person to track time spent could have decided that the day was to be split into 6 hours. Think about how long one hour of class would feel. In any case, the obvious lesson is to live life by the moment and don't obsess about the next. Each day has enough worries of its own. With that said, this is not an argument to drop everything and move into a cave with a view. You should prioritize and make time for the important things in life, more specifically, your faith. This is Gods time. God has a plan for you. There is a time for everything and it will come when it comes. Accept this and allow God to provide opportunity for you. Don't turn away in fear when the chance comes. Open your heart to God and let Him work in your life... Things have been really crazy around here lately, and I'm sorry that I haven't updated the blog in awhile.
It has been a very stressful month and we are only 4 days along! I have learned that it is essential to rely on God to get you through it in one piece, especially through the toughest times. So if you're holding on to your burdens, you can never open your heart to Him. Shake off all your problems and live positively. Give God everything and confess to Him your troubles. If you talk to God about what you need or what you are going through, He will provide for you. These bible verses prove it :) Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Psalm 73:24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path Proverbs 1:33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil. Remember sometimes His answer will take you by surprise. It can be a yes, a no, or a not yet. You may not even get the answer you're expecting when you're expecting it. So listen carefully to what He wants for you and let Him work miracles in your life. <3 |
My Blog is primarily meant to entertain and display my thoughts. Sometimes they are factual, including common Christian beliefs and bible verses which will be bold type or colored. I, in no way mean to discriminate any believers in their journey with God. You are entitled to your own opinion and are encouraged to comment on the things you agree or disagree with, I just hope you will keep an open heart as you take in my rants.
