Life Ramblings.....

Life can be so frustrating at times. One moment, you may feel like exploding with joy, the next, you could be feeling completely deflated, or withered away. And it's amazing how much this has to do with the people around you; your friends, family, other people you know. Emotional status always seems to revolve around experiences with people. During the bad experiences, you may think that your world will fall apart(depending on who you are dealing with), but when it's over, you realize you have learned so much. I realize that God sets these situations up(one way or another) to help us build our character. How will we react to these situations? Only He knows, and we need to find out. After we do, we should decide whether or not we need to fix something in our lives. Is the way we reacted the way we should react? Or is our character in need of some moral building? Just some stuff to think about...have a good one, and may God bless you.

True love?

I have been thinking a lot about what it means to be a true christian or man of God lately, and I have found out a lot about myself(But we'll get to that later, if ever).
When people say you have to 'Love God with all your heart', I get confused. I mean, how can you love someone you have never met? As a guy, it's hard for me to feel love for someone I don't know well. And there is a huge difference between love and feeling extreme gratitude or appreciation towards someone who has done something that means a lot to you.
I have always had trouble feeling this 'Love' for God. But when I recently truly gave Him my life, to serve Him, He started doing these things for me. I was shocked and humbled at how He could think these small things (in comparison to Him) were important enough for Him to bother with. He also did some pretty big things in my life, and is still doing so. God knows I am still a difficult person, and can be annoying, irritating, and sometimes a little arrogant. That doesn't mean I care less about my friends or family. It just means I either have a unique way of showing my love for them, or I am doing the wrong thing of venting stress from a long week, day, situation, and in doing so, yes, I could hurt someone. And I regret every time I have made someone upset, angry, or hurt.
But back on track, after He started doing all of this for me in return for my service to Him, I realized that the meaning of 'Loving God' was different to me than loving people. It's a unique thing. He is there to protect me, love me, and show me the way. My gratitude can only be shown by giving Him my life to serve Him.
I hope this helped anyone in need today or the next.

October is winding down...

October is finally starting to wind down, the leaves are actually changing color this year(!), and people have the nerve to put up halloween lights of all things! Anyway, ever have an early thanksgiving dinner? Well we are. Again. It will be fun, what with the people that never come to the real thanksgiving, the 5+ pies that my sister made, and of course, what would thanksgiving be without those snowballs saved from last year that we stored in the deep freezer! Ok, so I'm just kidding about that, but still...

Contemplations.

Finally made it online! I have been meaning to start a blog for a long time.
I was talking with a friend about boredom, and I had the idea to make a blog based on and about boredom itself. Of course, that would be pointless, as I would get bored writing it. Not a good way to start out, eh?
So, anyway, I'll leave with this post. I think I'll go and eat dinner before the game...

UPDATE!
Congratulations! You made it to the beginning! Enjoy your stay, it'll be wonderful to have you take a look around. :)
