I don't like it when people are hypocrites. It's a huge turn off to me and it usually makes me think less of a person sometimes. I have a hard time respecting Christians that are hypocrites. It's not ok. Do you not understand that?
Sorry, I've just been around a couple of people like this lately and it's driving me bonkers. It bothers me more because I know they are doing what they are doing for attention - attention from the world. Why crave that? I already know the answer to that. I've had to answer it for myself a couple times. What also bothers me is that these people come to me and tell me the hardtimes that they are going through and how much they know they need to seek God in order for things to be ok, but no, instead they turn to the world for help, and it hurts my feelings. Not only my feelings, but the Lord's.
Ugh, I'm sick of this stuff. I'm ready for the Christians of this world to grow up. You have a responsibility that God has blessed you with. Stop waisting God's time and do something that will bring glory to Him, not yourself.

the first post
So, it's my first post/blog in a really long time. The last time that I had one of these was in 6th grade, which would be when Xanga was popular. So, yes, it has been a long time considering im 20 now. (Saying that I'm 20 is a new thing for me since it's about the 5th time I've said it since I turned 20. haha)
I'm the kind of girl that's better at expressing her feeling by writing this down, so this should go well.
At the moment I'm listening to the song Mighty to Save by Hillsong and it only makes my heart beat faster for the Lord. We sang it at the BSM last Wednesday and I just about broke down. The song just goes on and on about how our Savior, our God, conquered the grave and how He is the author of salvation. Then it's as if the last part is a prayer, my prayer, for the world. It says "shine your light out and let the whole world, we're singing for the glory of a risen King" Ugh, my heart beats those words. I want Christ to shine His light through me so the whole world can sing for Him and His glory. I want His mercy to fall all over the world and on me.
I wish that everyone could experience the love of Jesus once in their life, like one really amazing time of worship where the Holy Spirit convicts them and God pours His love all over them, and see if they would turn back to a life without Him. I know that when I look at my life with and without Jesus there's a great difference.
I know that Jesus died and rose from the grave for me because of the effect the Holy Spirit has on me. and the faith that I have in Christ. If I were not a Christian I could go the the BSM and sing the songs we sing and there would be no meaning. But I am a Christian and when I do sing - more than just sing - completely comprehend what the lyrics mean, I cant help but give God praise for all he has done. It's like when you listen to a favorite song or some song that reminds you about a family member or friend, your mind recalls all of the amazing times that y'all have had together and it makes you happy or sad or compells you to do something. That's what worship is for me. That's what this song does for me. I am reminded about how awesome the God I serve is and all I can do is rejoice and pray for God to pour out His love for this world.
Sorry I've rambled about this song but it's amazing - God is amazing. I only see Him through this song. I have such big hopes and dreams and wishes that I tell God about and hearing this song makes me realize how possible they are through Him. My Savior can move the mountains!!! and He is mighty to save!!!!! and he conquered the grave!!!!
That's what God is teaching me right now - to be in awe of Him and not to doubt Him.
