| hey! i need some help on this one...so i got a problem. It deals with parents, and a line. this isn't my personal problem just in case your wondering. But the problem that one of my friends is 20 years old, and she can't go out past 5 o'clock and pretty much has to stay home all day. I feel like there is a bibical example of when it is time to let your son/ daugther go on about there life. True always with support from the family, but i feel there is a certain point where the child is no longer a child. Where the child should do what they wish. And if your wondering if this friend is bad..No she is not she is a christian..which doesn't neccesarly mean she is good but she is defantely not bad. Anyways the way i need help in this situation is that i can't seem to find any passages that speak on the issue of going from a child to an adult, and what the parents role should be. | | |
| so i have been thinking alot about some things that have troubled me about theology at St. Louis Univeristy. My teacher presented the New Testament to us, which is cool and everything. But then he showed us different view points of who Jesus is. Such as Matthew's gospel shows Jesus fullfilling prophecy's made throughtout the old Testament. then Luke's focus on not the disciples, but on the sprit of God moveing throughout the world. The way the teacher presented these view's of Jesus, was that there was problems with these different views on Jesus. To me i had to just take this at the time because i needed to learn it for the test that was happening, along with my other finals. But finaly i have to respond to it. I hold the view point that these different views on who Jesus is not a problem. It is not a problem because he is a dynamic person. Just like me and you we all are seen differently by people. Such as people may look at me and be like he is athlitic, yet others might say i am really bad at sports. Are both views wrong? no. both are true at the same time. Since people can have simply different view points on the uncomplicated person aka me. Then of course people can have different views on who the messiah is. And now i have to say im sorry...i've lost all thought i give lol. I'll try again later | | |
| so it has been awhile since i have posted anything on this xanga...i'd thought i'd give it anther try. Mabye i will keep up with this...mabye. So anyways God has defately been working in my life lately. I will tell you about it now...if you dont want to read, then just stop and go play guatiar hero 1 or 2 right now. But anyways ove rthe past couple of weeks i have really slacked in my work ethic at school. And God defatenlty knew that it was going ot happen, and he saved me from myself. Myself got me some pretty bad grades (well there not D's). But after i got each of these test i kind of laughed because i knew i did not prepare myself for these test at all and this is kind of what you deserve when you don't try. Anyways after i started to smile, and kind of be like i deserve it and took the responsiblity for not doing so well. Because i know that God defantely did his half, but i lacked on my half. God defantely hit me with something i did not expect or even prayed for, he gave me a way out in each of my classes. He gave me the oppurunity to still get very high grades in all of my classes. That i totaly thank God for, he defantely had my back on that. As i write this don't get me wrong grades aren't everything. The only thing i/you should be really striving for is to please God, and honor him with what he has given us. Each one of us (if you are in college) has been given a golden oppurtuinity becasue we are lucky enought to even be in college! God has alos given us minds think. Honor God with everything you have. Have faith in him that he will get you through the tough times. On a side note i was thinking in me theo class about the amount of faith abraham had. It would be amazing to have such a faith like that. So i say..have a little faith in Jesus. He knows what is good for you. He has helped me out of alot of tough situations in my life already, and i am only 20 years old so far, and already i can't really count how many times he has helped me out. LOL or mabye i already am loseing my memory...NOOOO lol. Anyways God bless i'll try to post a bit more than once a year. | | |
| this past sunday a wise old man taught me about true repentance. This man was teaching our bible study class and he said that true repentance is when you ask God to forgive yes, but it goes beyond that you will stop whatever it is that you are doing. Yes that thing that you did will come back and attack you but just run away. In my mind i had forgotten that for a bit. I was sort of relying on God to forgive me of what i did. Basicaly what i am trying to say is through this God focused man. God has shown me the meaning of true repentace. That excits me! I've also learned that their are so many issues that we should be aware of and it scares me....It scares me because it means i have to be thinking 24/7. There shouldn't be a brain dead moment i should be alert at all times, but i realize as i say that right now that is physicaly and mentaly impossible for we all strugle. I myself probly do a good 4 hours everyday...thats it. that is terrible i hope to be able to reach beyond this and have a mind that is present with the people i am with. Going on a different note i saw an old close friend tonight, a friend that use to be a strong christian. A friend that first got me thinking about the idea of chrisanity when i was in 6th grade. A friend that is not in my close nit group. A friend who's life has completle changed. This friend has fallen...far. He has problems with drugs and such, and he dropped out of school. When i look at him i can't help but have an emotinal response to him. Inside i cry for him...but i know he doesn't want that. I wish there was something i could for him. He was a kid i looked up to im my school because he had such a great outlook on life, and always had a light heart about things. I pray that God comes back into his life and pulls him out of this enviroment. I honestly would give up everything i have for my friend just to be pulled out of this enviroment and be lead to God. It makes me heart broken even to write it on xanga..so im going to stop. | | |
