I'm Lovin' It

No this blog has nothing to do with McDonald's. What I am talking about is the Christian life and the journey. The past couple of days all I have done is talk about God and things of God. There have been many conversation in the past few days about certain issues here and there, which lead to a couple of guys hanging out at J.R.'s house last night talking about some of these things. I loved it. I love talking about the things of God, so yesterday when J.R. asked me to come over and talk about theology, church, and stuff I got really excited. I prayed yesterday morning that I was really confused about a lot of things because so many people had different views. At the end of last night I felt like I was less confused about these things. Not saying God answered my questions but that He got me in the right direction. The funny part is that I thought God was going to answer my questions but instead made me realize that some of these things that were discussed aren't as big as we are making them and that there are bigger issues like the fact that there are lost people out there that need us to stop arguing with each other and start witnessing to them. Is there really a reason why God didn't put a lot of detail on how to live the Christian life? I think that there is. I am not sure what that reason is but I have a few thoughts:

1. God is not about rules and regulations, He wants us to live for Him. If there was a lot of detail then people would do just those things and then say that they have done what is required. God wants us to give all for him and sacrifice, not follow rules like almost every ohter religion.

2. Also with detail there leaves no room for faith and pushes a lot towards legalisms.

3. There are different situitations for different people and God deals with people at different times in there lives.

I am not saying God did not put things in the Bible that He is displeased with and that are guidelines like in 1 John, James, and etc. cause He did put these things in there but there are gray areas that I think sometimes we as Christians dwell over to much. Like I said I think there is a reason God did not put detail in the Bible pertaining to these areas. We may never know what these reasons are.

Two in a row

Wow I am actually going to post again a day after my last.
So today was weird cause usually I have to go to class at 7:30 AM but we have final exams so I didn't have to be at school till 12:00 PM this afternoon which means I got to sleep for a long time, which I did. But the greatest part is that I only had to take one exam cause the way it works at my school is that if you get an A in that class you don't have to take the final. So I got two A's and my third class my persuasive speech was my exam so I just took my Math today. I was freaking out this morning cause I suck at math. So I got up and studied but still didn't feel any better about it. I actually prayed almost the whole way to school. So I got to class right at 12:00 and he handed out the test an I looked at it and was relieved. I had forgotten just how good I am at multiple choice test. In math all you have to do is take each answer and plug it in or mess with the equation and see which one makes sense, remember in math there are no close answers or could be answers, there is only one right answer. And like I said I am awesome at multiple choice test. I am not saying I did perfect but I did a lot better than I thought I would. So now I am completely through with my first semester of college. It was great and I do not miss high school at all like people said I would, but I think to miss it you would have had to have friends in school which that would rule me out right there LOL.

By the way I love Jeremy Camp's new CD and there is a CD by Hillsong London, a church that Hillsong started in Paris and they have a CD out. It isn't as good as Hillsong United.

Its Time Again

Its time again to post another blog. I like waiting a copule of days before I post cause I usually have something better to say, but today might not be that great to others, just me. First I want to say that Jeff Hill's blog for yesturday was great.

On another note, I went over to Dan Nelson's house and talked for a while with him and Angela. I love these two very much. The only real reason I went over there was because I had to work Sunday afternoon and thats when I usually go over there to hang out. Anyways some how we got in a conversation about girls, which I am going to say Krystal Meyers is a very pretty girl LOL, but I started talking about what I want in a girl, which I am going to keep to my self and not post. But the one thing that I will post is that I desire an extremly Godly woman. I was just picturing it last night how awesome it would be to sit and talk to a really pretty girl about God. I started getting really excited. As you can tell I am very excited about that. The way I see it is I obviously want a pretty girl but the whole Godly woman adds more to her beauty than any thing else, but when you put these two together (beauty and Godliness) it is a awesome thing to see. Most guys will prob. make fun of me for this but I will be laughing at them when they marry a woman that brings them more heartache than comfort and affection. I can't wait until I get merried. I see Jeff and Carmen flirt all the time and I always tell them to stop before I throw up, but the truth is I am jealuose, not of Carmen, but of their realationship. The sad reality is this, I know that God isn't going to give me a Godly woman like I want if I am not being Godly as well cause that wouldn't make any sense. So thats just one more reason and encouragement that I have to follow after God wholeheartedly.(I think thats word) Another sad part is that it probably won't be for a while until this happens for me. But God's timing is perfect.
