i havent written anything on here in a while and today i’ve been regretting so bad forgetting my journal this morning cause i’ve had all these thoughts in my head and i just wanna write…
growing up in church, you are taught certain rules that are suppose to bring you closer to God and make you a better Christian. (all sarcasm intended) examples:
1. You should read your bible more than any other book. And for longer periods of time too. And if you do decide to read other books, opt for books about the Bible.
2. You should only listen to Christian music while you read your Bible. It enhances the feeling of all-things-holy.
3. The only people you can learn from are other Christians. Especially other Christians that go to your church.
Lately i’ve asked God to speak to me in unconventional ways. To broaden my heart and my mind as to who He really is. To show me how the earth and it’s fullness really is all His. And I’ve been seeing it. I’ve been seeing how everyone has something to offer. I’ve been learning that all things can lead back to God. I’ve been learning that I don’t know what light John Mayer is talking about when he sings to keep him there, but I know which light I want to stay in. I’ve been learning that you and me and Joe from the corner who no one really knows… we are all the same. We feel the same things and are probably going through the same emotions just in different circumstances. I’m learning that we can’t be so hard on ourselves to be so perfect but we gotta let ourselves be… and feel what we need to feel and do what we need to do and not worry so much cause everything passes. And it’s hard when you’ve lived with 20 thousand boundaries cause you’ve believed thats what makes God “happy”… your sacrificial life… but honestly… I think it makes God happy when we know him. Cause we don’t take our sacrifices to the grave… and we won’t have our record book with us in heaven and i think all he really wants to know is if we know him.
oh… and the title above is because that’s mostly what i’ve been thinking of. and what i just wrote. :)
