just a title.

I have been thinking about this a lot lately so let me explain.
if you look on someones facebook or any web site for that matter you will be surprised to see what they have listed under "religious view."
It is just a title for most people not a life style but something to fill the blank area.

I was overhearing a conversation at my work the other day. Yes it is a christian environment yet that is not how it is for the most part. If you look deeper into the atmosphere you would be surprised. If you were to take a walk in the kitchen or by the drive thru you would be very shocked at the things you hear. Not because it is not something you dont hear off the streets but that it is something you would hear every day. We are no different then McDonalds or whataburger. Only that we are closed Sunday but so are other restaurants.

Okay you can live how you want to live, who am I to judge? It however bugs me when you stand there trying to convince someone o you are a Christian or say it on your facebook but live completely different in the world.

I remember seeing one person on my friends list have "firm no-believer" as the religious views, for some reason that bugged me more than leaving it blank.

something to think about this week.
It not just a title.

time

I have a problem with time.

Not knowing when to do something, unsure of that it may be too early or even to late.
Wanting to know if it is okay to move on or to not let go just yet.

Is there plenty of time or is there not enough?

I question myself often and find myself worrying about the past and being over concerned about the future.

I feel I jump into situations too soon, or find myself giving up to soon.
I find myself continuing to hold on to a person for too long. I often wonder where time has brought me or in time where I will be.

Time can heal a broken heart but time can also strengthen a relationship.
Time can bring joy yet time can bring confusion.

I can not help but think of one of my all time favorite verses. I am sure I have shared this on here before.

Matthew 6:34
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

days like today when I am worrying about the future and annoyed with the present, I am often reminded that in God's timing I will be where he wants me to be. I will have the friends He wants in my life. I will wait for His guidance and His timing.
this is a bit scattered and I am rambling but I am so thankful that God's timing is all that matters, and with that I feel I can relax and enjoy life.



thanks for reading,

determaining what you were taught from the truth.

Growing up I was never told why you didnt do something just that "YOU DO NOT DO THAT".
I was always curious to why and what would happen if I did. My curiosity put me in bad situations or left me with some regret. On the other hand if you do not experience life first hand then will never know. Does that makes sense?

I feel like I am really growing this year. What I used to believe is being challenged, yet in a good way. What I thought I wanted is now changing. What I thought I knew is surprising me with the truth. What my parents taught me I am now learning to distinguish with the actual truth. It is a weird realization. I feel like I am finally beginning to grow and to become a BIT wiser with all the mistakes I have made. Where a few years ago I was a timid and to afraid to admit I failed or to allow someone to help me off the floor when I fell on my face.

Now I am not afraid to ask for help or advice. I long to know the truth and to know if I am doing wrong and where I am sinning. I am not looking forward to growing up but I am excited to see where I am growing and where I will be.
The truth hurts sometimes but with out it there is know way to grow.
