Sick and tired

of being picked on.

I just don't understand it. I'm doing my own thing, living my own life... things that are supposed to be good, right? Think for yourself. Don't let anyone tell you who or what you should be. Be your own person.



yeah right.

Live and Let Live

yeah man.

It's quite unfortunate

that non-believers and some Christians alike haven't felt the presence of God.

People have their ideas set on what the church is and how it is or isn't supposed to be run. So many churches are so stuck in their tradition and rituals that they completely forget about the most important thing, Jesus. It says in Mark 7: 7-8 "They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." Churches have forgotten about Jesus, the reason for their existance.

Many people grow up in a specific denomination... Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist.. what have you. And many of those people never learn what it is like to have a relationship with Jesus. It is so much different than the teachings and the doctrine of the church. It's not all about making it to church every Sunday because you are told to or taking communion or kneeling/standing/sitting/praying when you are told.... its about Christ. It's about the word of God. Do you think God wants repetitive prayer? Do you think he wants to be a part of the same service over and over and over again?? God wants to manifest himself in the church.. he wants to be known, he wants you to feel him.

Our God is a loving God who wants a relationship with his believers. Not a group of complacent "believers" who show up only on Sunday to redeem themselves from the guilt they feel and then end up going right back to their ways.

Going to church isn't what gets you into heaven. Following the rules isn't what gets you into heaven. It is pure faith. Without going after and seeking God, what do you have???

Everyone needs to read Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell if you haven't already. That book says so much of what I want to say.. but the platform I stand on is so small.

So frustrated

I really don't understand people sometimes. Maybe I'm just overly emotional or something.. but I really don't think that's what's going on here.

It's really funny when people get angry about Christians being "preachy" and then calling them hypocrites. Generalizations suck. Stereotypes. All that kind of stuff sucks. But it's even funnier when those people become hypocrites themselves. Claim to be something they aren't. Into something they really aren't into.

I think what I'm really trying to say here is.. shut up. Let people be. Don't try to get involved in EVERYTHING. It is none of your business and never will be.

I'm really bad at math

and because of that, I got put into a remedial math class my first year of college.  In fact, I didn't even get a math credit for it.  It just went into some miscellaneous credit bin in my college file.  It was called PDEV 100.. which stands for Personal Development.  I failed my first time taking it, my teacher was not fun and she required homework everyday. I CANNOT FORCE MYSELF INTO DOING MATH HOMEWORK.  It is impossible.  So I ended up taking it again the next year to cover up the failure I had my first time.  My professor was 39448 times better than the previous one and with an added bonus... he didn't require us to do our homework! I passed with a C. 

So, the next semester I decided to try my hand at Math 102 (which would give me the only 1 math credit I need to graduate), which I found out after a few class periods, wasn't really a math class. It was basically a logic class=worst thing ever.  I dropped it.

Now, in my 3rd year of college I've decided to take Math 127, which is college algebra.  The teacher doesn't require homework, but... he moves way way too fast for me to understand what is going on.  Worst of all, my schedule pretty much prohibits me to go to tutoring during any of the sessions.

So, now what?  All I need is a D-.... as long as I pass, I'll be ok.  After this year I'll never need math again, until I have kids and need to help them do their homework.

Someone tutor me????? kthxbai

My first post.

I've wanted to make a blog for a long time.. I just never got around to it. So I guess this is where I start.

First off, I would like to make a disclaimer:
-I am a Christian. I follow as closely as I can and sometimes I stumble and fall flat on my face.

The reason I say that is because I see too often people judging others beliefs, or judging people who fall away for one reason or another. I am human and I will screw up. I am open to hear your opinions on things I have to say.. in fact, I would love any input you have. But don't be a downright ass. k thanks.


If you would like to see my opinion on a specific subject.. request it. Ask questions. Challenge me. All I ask for is respect.

*This isn't going to be a "Christian Blog." I'm just a person who happens to be a Christian putting her thoughts down on this screen for people to read.
