Lucky Will had no classes today, but I on the other hand do not start classes til after 10 so I was able to enjoy a fun school day! So after class, Will and I went to the Haywood mall to get him some new jeans that aren't to tapered around his calves and won't burn the hair off. I enjoyed being his fashion designer because then I get to pick out the clothes I think he looks good in! I'm just playin' he looks stunning in anything. While he found his pants, I found myself a new swimsuit for spring break. We just got done watching "The Passion of The Christ".
I was originally going to say that Mel Gibson is the man and he deserves tons of credit for this movie, but then I thought to myself he was crediting everything to Christ. So in actuality, Jesus is The Man. I have so many emotions running through me right now that I can't even sit here long enough to type them all out to you in a way that makes sense, so whatever comes out is what I'm typing, so follow me as long as you can. I mean, I've heard the stories of the pain that Christ went through and even seen mild visuals of it, but this movie hit me in the heart, bringing out every emotion possible. To think of all the pain that Jesus suffered through to give us the opportunity to have eternal life. Also, that God would give up his only son because he loves us all that much. It makes me think how much I don't deserve to have anything or to even exist. But my life was a gift from God that he gave me to cherish, be thankful for and give all thanks and praise to him. I have been slack and selfish of everything. I need not to complain about anything because it measures nothing to what suffering Jesus went through, I need to be thankful for everything because without his sacrifice, I wouldn't have any of it. And the wonderful things is, you always get another chance to ask for forgiveness and start over from a clean slate with the spirit of God in your heart. How many people can say they are that forgiving to anyone who has done something against you? We do things against God everyday, a sin is a sin no matter how big or small you may consider it and all of it is forgiven as long as you truly ask for it. I don't want to sound like I'm preaching to anyone, I just want people to know how I feel. There is a lot of the time when I question religion and how anything could be possible...
"Faith means being sure of things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it." -Hebrews 11:1
then it hits me. How many things do you believe in that you never see? I don't know what else to say, except that I highly recommend that everyone see this movie and get what you can out of it, and if you still don't understand then ask someone who can explain this sacrifice to you because it is truly something wonderful.
