I Hate _____!

So i have been noticing something lately about some of my friends. Ever since i read one of this guy's blogs about only having friends that agree with our beliefs and ideals, I have noticed that i actually do have a couple of friends that i do not see eye to eye with. And thats okay. I feel like bragging about it honestly. It feels nice to know that i don't have to be the same as someone else to be friends. This does, however, make for some uncomfortable times of conversation, in which i often find myself wanting to put up walls and get the heck away from it. I don't know why i do that. Looking from the inside out i don't see myself as that kind of person. But every time a topic comes up that i have an opinion about and we talk about it, i end up getting frustrated and saying "whatever" and fighting through the next few minutes of awkward silence.

This is open for all like 2 readers (if that many) to discuss.

What are the topics that frustrate you?

Old blog from my now extinct MySpace...

"We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting, and the climax and the resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it? It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out.

I want to repeat one word for you: Leave.

Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it?

So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed."

(Excerpt from Through Painted Deserts)
- Donald Miller


One story, that’s all. One story is all we get. God has that story ready for us to live. To act out. Yet most of us are sitting here and being lazy.

I tell you this, if you are not taking part in your story... LEAVE!!! Get out there and live your life for God. Not for yourself. We are all self-addicted. Some more than most.

Love God. Love Everyone. Not love yourself and no one else. You have to care about others feel over yourself. People are part of the Elements God has placed before you. So don't tell people that you'll do something and then not do it. And don't complain about someone does things and then be just like them. That’s called being a hypocrite.

It may be time to leave. To Change. To SHINE.

And everything that will still be here.... its okay.
