interrupted.

side rant:  I've noticed what poor listeners most people are. And even in the past few weeks, it's been glaringly obvious to me because I've felt it a lot by the people I've interacted with. Doesn't it suck when people just interrupt you to say something to someone else or express their own, unrelated thought and not even excuse themselves for doing so but even worse never even return to the initial convo or acknowledge what you were saying in the first place? I know that was a lot to follow, but it makes sense, I swear. And it SUCKS that it makes sense. It shouldn't happen. We shouldn't go around making people feel so unimportant. 

Never be ashamed; do not change the Gospel to avoid offense.

-Do not be ashamed of Jesus and the Gospel (although it will offend...)
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes" -Romans 1:16

-Do not fall for false teachings: no additions or edits!
examples of false teachings always put something before the Bible or preface it: Mormonism, prosperity/capitalism, Marxism, "self" help...ANY ism. Any "movement" that changes the meaning and message of the Bible.
"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!" -Galatians 1:6-8

-Do not aim to please man, but please God (and by doing so we shall find the true joy in our purpose).
Therefore, once again, do not follow changes in the Gospel or change it yourself in hopes not to offend. The Gospel IS offensive.  God has called us to be TRUTHFUL, not "innovative" and shaping it to fit what people would find acceptable.
"Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were will trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." -Galatians 1:10

-Jesus died for our sins...we have not done anything worthy--He gives us His Grace!
"Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever."-Galatians 1:3-5 (emphasis added), and...the entire Bible.

thank You

I love all of my girl friends, I really do. No matter their age or where they are at in their life.


However, I can REALLY appreciate having more mature girl friends. Being around those who are my age or a little older...who have careers, marriages. And it's not even those things that are necessary, but just a mindset that is focused on more important things in life. Having meaningful conversations that are not surrounded by gossip and drama; rather discussions about interests and activities.


I understand everyone needs to grow, and they will eventually. It's just nice to step away from mindless crap. I never really put my foot in that arena and I don't regret it; I also don't dislike my friends for what they choose to do with their time, even if it is those things I don't do. It's just that when you don't have to hear about it in every conversation you find how refreshing life is and are reminded how big the world is....how there are people all around with big dreams and great goals and searching for solid purpose.


I've always had friends that were younger than me--whether that be in age or in mind. But I guess you could say I've always been the big sister, the mentor, the level-headed one (at least for my age) so I've never really felt a connect to many people since we've been in different places in our lives. I'm exploring the people that have always been around me, but we've never really invested much time or effort into each other until now. I feel like I've been missing out, a little. I also see how my appreciation has developed, and for that I am thankful. 


I thank God for giving me friends I can connect with on a deeper level, no games involved.


I'm not really sure where I am headed with this. I guess I am just posting because I am glad. I am feeling the joy that only Christ can provide.
