It seems like everyone reefers back to last year for some reason to bring out the new year. The funny thing is that I'm going to do it as well and even though everyone does I will too.
Last year took me through a lot, and half of that stuff was interesting. The other half was not worth anything. It seems that my life is split into three areas. sin, repentance and becoming right with God again. That's what last year was, just circle after circle of that, again and again. So, I'm going to say that last year was a year full or regret, tears, a few times of great joy, and monotony. There was also summer camp which was great.
Yes that was last year.
So why go on? I don't really expect anything very exciting to happen. so why go on?
I'm saved right. so I'm all good if something terrible happens to me and I die. To see God I need to die. Right?
So what keeps us all going?
I think other then the commandment for us to love others and live for God until our time comes there is no reason. Which kind of makes sense when there are so many people working hard to not think about the futility of their work or hobbies... And those that don't find something to keep their minds off it find that they are crazy or depressed. now these are big generalizations and they will stay like that because of course there are exceptions...
The only thing that keeps us going is the love of Jesus both for us and us for him.
I guess that's why we need to start our days and keep our focus on him all the time or we might get caught.
Relax, have a drink, read something.
Hello, and welcome
This is a place to think, listen to some good music and enjoy life as it is, in simpleness. These are my thoughts life stories and experiences.
About Me
- CCCMMMM
- Im a christian and that pretty much defines my life, I really try to be real about it. Now that doesn't mean I doen't mess up, I do, and all the time. I work at camps during the summer and I really like it. I enjoy kids a lot, and get along with most. I lived in Thailand as a missionary kid for two years in grade 10-11. I also plan to go back there some time soon.
I've walked past many a time
filling my soul with grief
Wake up call
We need something these days to wake us up, perhaps we need to see just how many of us are in the top 2% of richest people in the world? Maybe we need to see death of infants to make our souls cry out to us? probably-a starving boy to ask us for money and we don't give him any, then he falls over-death.
Compassion for those who need it.
Fighting for them who need it.
power to fall from us to them.
then we will taste the bite of ours.

Understanding Connections
To me, values are interesting. Mostly I would say that we all have relatively the same values, sure there are differences. I think we all agree on the value of life, love and joy. Now the thing that is most interesting is what we value, perhaps a loyal friend, or maybe a pet. We might even value our WOW account, but the most important value we all have is connection. So how do we connect, and how well do we connect with others? We can all answer this question for our selves; the answer depends on whether or not you feel in need of more connections, or a thirst for deeper connections. Then we need to look at how superficial the connections we already have are.
to remember not all is lost
Peace, can you feel it?
To remember something good.
We need to be constantly reminded of how much good truly is in this world sometimes. I think we depend on this to keep moving our feet. We in North America often lose sight of what beauty and rest for our souls there truly is here. Even just out the door.
not all is lost
Beauty, rest four our soul

Looking Within
Often we need to look in the mirror and stop comparing ourselves to the way the world works. We need to look in the mirror and see how God might see us. Though the world may look at us as failures, we need to be reminded that God also sees us. He Sees us as rich in his grace and a glorious success.
If God does exist, who has seen him? If God does exist, who has heard him? If God does exist, where is he? If God does exist, who can explain him? If God does exist, would we be able to really understand these things?

Hey, Bryce I've been thinking a lot about what reasons we're here on earth lately too. When I was young, I had this crazy endless thought whirling in my head all the time. "Why? Why am I here on earth? Where will I go after I die? And will I ever have acknowledgement of anything after all? What if the world exploded, or some supernatural being just smacked and shook the whole world and everything turned into dust? Where will I be?"..and on..and on..and on. And whenever I started thinking about it, I was distressed.
But since i became a christian, though i still keep thinking about it, it's not endless anymore. At least i know where will i be, and who i'll be with. Just only one point, when. But it doesn't up to me, right? So, as i still don't have a sum to myself, i decided to take my friends' suggestion-enjoy every single moment here with thankfulness and breathe in and breathe out with gratefulness. Then, i'm sure we'd automatically see the real meaning of life, and focus on it daily. Somehow, that's hard to do, ain't it?
Such a side-winding thought...
when I think of the question "why am I here?" what comes to mind is "because God placed me here".
"why am I still living?"..."because it's not time for me to leave yet"....
"why dont I just end it and go home..?"..."same reason I dont kill. I cant give life, thus it is not mine to take."
Life is a gift for sure.
...the sooner I can keep that permanently in mind the more rich life will be, I think.
