On Self-deception or being human
More than ever in my life, this last year has taught me how human I am... how self-focused I become when I am not daily living in the knowledge that I am a new creation, being made in His likeness. I think there was a reason Christ calls us a new creation. my old self sucks, so for me to have any hope of eternity, I woud have to become something directly opposite of who I am. We have this amazing hope in Christ. I've grown up literally under the wings of the church and Jesus Christ. I took some time to step out from under that and I found that I really am utterly lost outside of Christ. Maybe another reason I've discovered my humanity in the year is because my parents don't tell what to do all te time. I have personal responsiblity now. I failed in the last year more than ever in my life. To everyone that I've hurt... I'm terribly sorry. Take it from someone who knows, as people who live in an ultra-intillectualized society, we have been taught to enjoy seeking more than finding. For those of us who know Christ, we have found. STOP SEEKING... IF THERE'S ONE THING YOU SHOULD DO... STOP SEARCHING. YOU HAVE ALREADY FOUND EVERYTHING and He is RIGHT THERE in your soul.

so true...but sometimes that's pretty hard I guess. Nice entry !
There are some things in this world that you just don't need to pray about......
'tis true, too often we get caught up in the study of life, we miss out on life. The plans for our hope and future have already been assured. There is no need to psychoanalyze God...we will always come up short...
