fish in the sea

Haven't blogged in a long time.
It's good to be back.
it's just a thought, but why in today's society do we act like dating is easy? I met up with an old friend from high school the other day and he asked me this "so who are you dating these days?" this kind of hit me. he said it as if I should be dating someone. I replied "I'm not" and to this he seemed rather shocked. He went on to ask me if I just hadn't picked the right girl yet, as if there are a million incredible girls that all like me waiting for me to pick them. And all I have to do is just pick the one I like the most.
This really frustrates me. No wonder people think I'm gay; society makes it look like if I'm not dating someone than I must be.
Men and women are not simply fish in the sea, you cannot throw in bait and wait for someone to bite. Real relationships don't work this way, and it is extremely odd the way that society thinks it is.
You always have to be dating someone in the world today.
But I'm here to say that's not how I am.

Just Let Go

its just a thought,
but why do we sacrifice God for relationships?
Recently, I went to a friend's house for coffee one morning, and as this friend and I talked she told me about how she had broken up with her boyfriend of almost 2 years, not only because she was starting to love him more than God, and vice versa, but because he was ok with it. And I have to say I respect her so much for that.
Another friend of mine did the same thing with his girlfriend, as he was telling me about how his relationship was keeping him from God I was thinking, WHY do we automatically assume that God wants us to be in a relationship, as long as the person is a believer? Keep in mind, the boyfriend and girlfriend of my friends are both strong believers and involved christians.
But is it not crazy that even a Godly relationship can keep us from God. I seriously give respect for my friends for being able to do what they did, because I am not going to lie, I honestly dont believe I could have done that. Even if God had told me to, I probably would have denied what he said to me. Relationships are such a delicate subject, especially when God is involved. But with all honesty could you tell me a relationship without God is succesful? 2nd Corinthians 6:14 says, "do not become partners with those who reject God, for how can you make a partnership out of right AND wrong?" granted that is the message version, it gets the point across. BUT even a GODLY relationship can take you away from God. Even if you love that person, if God has not called for it, then it will distract you from God. yes,
IT SUCKS. But God will provide if you give him your whole heart.

learning to love, and the attitude of the heart

just a thought...
But as I was walking around the fair the other day i happened to notice a little boy, who was rather fat, not chubby, but fat. Immediately I felt bad for him, I'm not sure if it was because I used to be a chunk or not. But right in the middle of my sympathy moment I over heard the kids behind me, making fun of the little boy I felt sorry for. Why do people have such nasty hearts? I have recently been thinking about how much of a drag it can be to have a heart for people like children, special needs, old people (particularly ones that look like they need help), and even just people that look sad or depressed or in need. But after talking to a few people, I realized that I should be thanking God that he gave me a heart like mine. The attitude of someone's heart can just make or break who they are. No matter how cool of a personality they have, or how good looking they are, a nasty heart will ruin them. And how can someone say the love someone and then go treating them like crap?? That just absolutely breaks my heart. Especially if that person is a good friend and truly loves the person that treats them that way. 1st Corinthians 13:4-8 tells us about love and how it acts. It says that love is patient, love is kind, love does not hold grudges or keep score, it is not proud, it is not rude or easily angered, and mostly importantly it says love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always preserves. And last it says LOVE NEVER FAILS. The thing that gets me most about it, is that I see even christians disobeying this scripture. Its weird, well actually sad, because I see people from my (our) church treating people they love badly. If you love someone why not show it? at least to them. Nothing makes a person happier than when they see the person that loves them, showing other people that they love them. Trust me haha. I understand that people can be frustrating and piss us off, but its the way we deal with the frustration that truly shows the attitude of our heart. If someone is having a bad day, and you see it, which you are lucky to have a heart that see those things, why not try and help? Nothing bad can come out of it right? If you see someone who needs help like an old person going down the escalator, and you try and help them, it could go two different ways. They could (1) give you an awkward look (which to me, would be absolutely hilarious and would make my day!!) or (2) accept your help, and be grateful such a great young person would take the time to do that! Either way, how great would that be?? Honestly, I think we need to learn how to love, and once we learn, we spread the love, and teach other people how to accept love. after all, you have to learn to accept love before you can give love. But like I said, that's just a thought...

excuses, excuses

2009-08-30T20:07:00.000-07:00

just a thought,
WHY do people admit that they know they are rude? "I'm a (multitude of bad words) and I know it!" Apparently, this is the best excuse people can come up with for being rude. And they admit it, if it were me, I would honestly pretend that I didnt meant to be rude and STOP acting like that. I know I can be (as jake would say) a grumpy hoe sometimes and its annoying. BUT that does not give me an excuse to keep acting that way does it? knowing that you are (a colorful assortment of words), which I would most absolutely have to agree with you when you call yourself one (better that I just agree with you than say it right??) does not mean that you can keep acting that way, and if you know it, why not fix it? I guess my ultimiate question is why do people think its attractive to act like that? I know that I dont see someone acting like that and then go "oooo, sexy!" do you? If yes, then i would be more than happy to bag you and drag you behind my car to the nearest metal hospital (which is very far from Boise). A phrase that I tend to hear quite often, "I dont care what people think of me." is the one I understand the least. haha, seriously, cussing does not make a person seem anymore intimidating. And OBVIOUSLY you dont care about what people think since you (1) try to be the hottest thing alive, (2) talk with an eerie, sharp tone in your voice that is supposedly very attractive (3) change your whole self to please other people. Dont be effing stupid, the most attractive people out there, are the ones who are themselves no matter what! take Jesus freaks for example, a girl that can talk about Jesus and worship him in front of everyone (and I am talking non-christians, like kids at school) and not give a high fashioned fake butt about it, is freaking HOT. I promise, it really is, a guy wont admit it, but it so is. HOT, I will seriously say it a million times. People are so frustrating, wouldnt you agree?
again, it is just a thought.
