(no subject)
Well, last night, I started thinking about what I should read because I wasn't tired yet, and my book was in my dad's car. i looked through my shelf of books, but didn't find anything interesting; looked through another shelf and found my "Extreme Teen Bible" and a book about teens and financing..i started with the financing one..it didnt last long, read couple of pages, then put it aside..then i started with the Bible. It's a easier form of the bible, easier meaning the readings, I understand them better. So last night, I learned soo much from Genesis. That's what I started from, the beginning of course. And well, I knew the whole story of Adam and Eve, but that's like all I know. I mean, I know a little more than that, but still not that much..It's kinda pathetic. I don't know my own religion. Yeah, do you know WHY we have rainbows? It's God's promise to us that he will never flood the whole earth again. Noah was afraid he would flood the earth like he did back then, and so GOD created the rainbow. It would remind us of his promise. That's AWESOME, I never knew that, did you?? That's why Noah created the ark. I guess you could say God was upset that people were sinning and doing other bad stuff. He destroyed everything he created, birds, animals, people. The only things that were saved were on the ark. Noah's ark.
After I was getting tired, and felt I read enough for the night, I lay the bible aside and started THINKING again. I realized I talk to my friends MORE than I talk to God. I seriously need to change that. I need to pray more. God is the one who decides our future, he leads us in the right direction, and protects us; why don't I talk with him more? Why don't I pray to him more? I know why, I say I forget. And sometimes or most of the time, IT DOES slip my mind, but that is NO excuse. He created ME out of nothing. I should at least honor him more than I do now. So that's what I plan to do. Last night I prayed for forgiveness, I almost cried, my eyes were teary and I was sad, because I knew that I had not done enough for HIM. You may read this and just laugh, but I don't care what you think, because it's the truth. You all should all pray to HIM. I want to continue to read the bible and pray every night. I am more than sure it will help me with my life. After all, we are here for God. We should do what he would want us to do, not what we feel like doing.
I am writing this not only for myself, but you guys also. Think about why YOU are here on the earth. God has made you for a reason. Live for him. Talk to him. It won't hurt if you do, and it will make you a better person. Ask for forgiveness. He's always listening. Read the bible, it will help you!
