//FAMILY OF THE YEAR "HERO"// I think I've been searching for the ambiance of this song for all my life. The melody just fills me up.

Well, so much for blogging everyday! Just overwhelmed the past two weeks with some crazy crap, like finals and AP exams and grad parties and band and newspaper and blahhhhhhhhhh. I've finally been realizing how much so many of my high school friends mean to me, and how much I'm going to miss a lot of them. I've tried to stay un-emotional, but, you know, it's inevitable. But, in the mean time, I am so ready to leave and experience new things and new people. It's a weird feeling.


...Christianity is so hard. The entire world needs you to serve it, and cares nothing about your relationship with the Lord and what you need to do for the Lord. I hate it sometimes! I want to give up! I think this is when you realize that you're experiencing Christ's promises, even the ones of which He promised the world would hate you. And they would compare you to the standard of perfection of which Jesus was, but of which humans can never hope to achieve. Endure, good people, endure.

By the way, pro tip: please never judge anyone's spirituality based on their behavior. It's hard, it can seriously suck, but as a servant of Christ, leave the judgment to Christ. Your faith in Christ Jesus justifies you, as said in Romans, and not your behavior. If you hurt someone, make sure you're apologizing and learning from your mistakes. If you rebuke, do so in kindness, and not in anger...

"So when the devil throws your sins in your face and tells you that you deserve death and hell, tell him this: I admit that I deserve death and hell, but what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is, there I will be also!"
