An OK Day

Today was a good day. A good day in the sense that i wasn't involved in any drama or accidents at school. You know, God sees all you do no matter what it is, in secret or in the open. Sometimes the result of sinning is maybe a bad day, week, drama, or just something that annoys you. To me that makes me happy because God doesn't show His wrath on us everyday like He did the Israelites in the desert.

Sin is like a poison. When you let it get a hold of you it's hard to get off. Some people say, I'll do this now even though it's wrong because God is so gracious. That is a huge misconception in our own little world today. Now don't mistake me, God does forgive. But, if we commit a sin all the time and we ask repentance as a chore to be done, it's not true sorrow.

We see in the news everyday our country just going down a blackhole. All this evil in the world is put in the light and is made right in the peoples eyes. So, that means it's ok in God's eyes, right? WRONG! For instance: Divorce is made like a normal thing to happen to families. Even though it defys God's law because it says in the Bible that "God hates divorce." Abortion is made ok. IT'S NOT!!!

An ok day can be turned into a nightmare if you purposefully disobey God, or do things that you know do not honor Him.

I am not proclaiming to be perfect but i am proclaiming to be a christian. That doesn't mean that I do not sin but it simply means i have assurance that I'm going to Heaven when I die. I have excepted Christ in my life and have made a commitment to Him to do my best to follow His law and when i fall, He will forgive me!!!!!

Good days/Bad days

Everyday you wake up is because God intended for you to wake up. Just because God allowed you to wake up doesn't mean that all in your life is going to be swell. Today was an okay day for me, i can't speak for my friends but for me it was good. I'm making all the grades I want to make and i praise God for that. I've learned that instead asking God to make things better in my life, thank Him for the good gifts I receive in a lifetime/day.

Wherever you are and wherever you go there are always going to be obstacles to overcome! I have learned this school year that running away is not the answer. About 3 months after school started, me and my mom were talking about all my problems at my school and all the drama between me and my friends. I had decided that it would be best that my parents take me out of public school and home school me for all of the wrong reasons. I was trying to run away from my problems with different people and it's not til now that i realize that it's not about my good days and bad days. It's about how i make those days and how i let my light shine for God! He gave me those situations to make light of them.

Now it's decided that I'm not going to be home schooled but I am gonna go to a private school that does a home school curriculum. It wasn't until me and my mom prayed about our decision that God began to soften my daddy's heart because he was completely against the idea. Now, our answer was not what we intended to get, but it was definitely a possibility. Me and my mom went check out the school and fell in love with it. God gave me the confidence and the assurance that this was a better option that HE chose for me.

I know down in my heart that there too i will probably have issues with people or just the way of doing things, but that is a step that God has chosen for me to take!

WHY does God give us trials?

Often we ask ourselves this very question. Over the past year (my freshman year in high school,) God has tried me many many times. I have had friend issues, relationship issues, family issues, teen issues (lol), you name it, i had it. It was not til i started literally getting on my knees and praising God for those trials that things got better. WHAT? you may ask. Yes, it's true, if you do that very thing and just trust God and give Him your grief, i be dern, you got it! I am studying the life of moses in my bible study every monday night and it has changed my life tremendously. I have developed such a loving relationship with Him that it has changed me completely. I'm still learning and i just crave the word of God!
