Changes

[savedbygrace381]

Everyone changes. Sometimes the changes are good and sometimes when we change we hurt others or ourselves resulting in a bad change. I think everyone is on a quest to try to change for the good but sometimes we give up because it is too hard or we don't want it bad enough to really work at it. Our endurance fades away and we no longer have it in us

Well, what do you know? Thoughts that make sence

I read this and there is so much that I want to say.
Everyone is changing. I hate it yet I love it.
I feel like after my world was comletely turned upside down and shaken, God was finally putting the pieces back together and then WHAM. All of these things are changing again. It's so complicated.
People are complicated. and what you said about eyes..! its weird seeing eyes full of life and then dead in the very next moment. you are right. and I know what you mean about thinking you know someone. What is being fake? Is being fake KNOWING who you are and then not letting ppl see that person bc you're ashamed? Or is it knowing who you are, and knowing who you SHOULD be in Christ, trying to be that person, failing miserably, and then pretending like you are that person? Is that even possible? I know that we are never going to be good enough on our own, and I know that being like Christ is such a hard thing to accomplish, so when do we realize that living up to what people want and thinking its who we should be bc it seems right, isn't ever going to be enough? Who tells us that? who shows us? I feel like Im always screwing up, yet I know that God is constantly telling me that He isn't finished with me, and my mistakes are okay bc w/o them, I'd be clueless and unable to relate to anyone in the world. Where is the ministry in that? It's OKAY TO FREAKIN MESS UP PEOPLE! But why dwell on it, make ppl feel sorry for you, and then act as if you have nothing better to do than shoot pee in the wind? Seriously. I get so frustrated and annoyed when I feel like christians will say anything and tell you everything about how to live your life and to bring God the most glory with every choice we make, BUT we already know that! As Christians, we're fully aware of the rights and wrongs and by golly! accept change, know that its okay to mess up, and use your mistakes to bring God glory by witnessing and relating to unbelievers. where am I going? Im rambling. anyways...
Change is good. embrace, accept it, be mad but get over it, and just realize that who you are may not be what you ever wanted to be and you may disappoint many along the way, but its better to be truthful and disappointing than to please everyone and live a lie. Words are all we have...use them wisely.

sometimes, you just have to give up. its okay bc when ya give up, HE gets FULL control

yeah I hear ya. I like what you said about what is really considered being fake. I think being fake is whenever you let people think you are something you aren't whether it's out of shame of who you are or out of pretending you are who they and you and Christ wants you to be.

People are complicated. YES that statement is both really simplistic and really complex.

I've been doing so much thinking lately....look forward to more random thoughts in my head haha. Like in the past two days I've written 4 things whoaaaa.
