Hi everyone. I have grown up a christian however I tried to do it my way and look where it got me. I just got to the point where my pride finally caught up with me. I'm tired of running. I'm tired of trying to get a life without Him. I used to do just about everything under the sun to get out from under what seemed like God holding a giant magnifying glass over my head. I would do anything to get away from myself and my guilt and shame.
Then one day I realized something and I don't know why it didn't take before. God doesn't want us to run away! Our lives are remarkable even in the most normal way. I mean just think! While we can relate to each other, there is no one on this earth you has lived the same life! No one!
Now everywhere I look I see where control and pride is distroying our world. People want things to be black and white. Predictable. completely stable. Well thats just not what God had in mind. There is a respectable balance to everything, yet people stive to put other people down and distroy them. Some people God created Fat (or as I like to say "fluffy") some people are meant to be skinny. Too much "fluff" and its bad, Too little "fluff" is bad too. There is no black and white! Anything at all in excess will hurt you. Even O2! Yet most of us strive to look different.I would love to fit back into my size 3 jeans, have natually straight blonde hair, perfect teeth, perfect boobs, perfect stomach, the works!
I realize now that I just don't care how I look. The only person who has to go to bed at night with me is me. Bottom line.
I'm going to bed, but I think I would strengthen me greatly to liven the Religious section a little. Love to hear from you! Good-night! *Crystal*
