I've decided to go on a doing-things-i-shouldnt-do diet. Hopefully, it will become a way of life more than a diet because we all know that diets don't last.
Sometimes, my heart is still into doing parties and clubs and drinking, but I know that as a christian, I shouldn't be doing those things.
I think my biggest problem, and what made me realize this, was the fact that i was asking Desmond to go to church with me, yet I was doing things that would make him question why I even go to church.
I sat down and had a very loooonnnnng talk with him the other night, and basically told him that I could see myself having a family w/him, but not if we had different beliefs. Talking to him though, is like me trying to teach a person who has been deaf all of their life how to play piano. It just doesn't make sense to him. But he is trying to understand. How do you teach someone who didn't grow up w/ it?
He is actually doing this whole no drinking/ no physical stuff w/me and it makes me really happy. I was worried what he was going to say when I told him, but he was actually very accepting, and that shows me that he truly loves me even without all the other stuff. He said he'll do it for as long as I want to. Also, we are actually reading the Bible now like once a day. To all of my friends who are Christians, please pray for him because I think that God is going to do something amazing in his life.
I still don't think that drinking is wrong, as long as you don't do it in excess. I was actually reading a scripture last night about wine etc. and I believe that God put it here as a natural "drug" to soothe you, but I know it's not good to do it in excess.
I know some people may not agree with this, but Desmond actually brought up a good point the other day about recreational/medical drugs. What's the difference? We take medically prescribed drugs to help cure our illnesses, and just like other drugs, we can overdose on them. They still alter our state of mind. It's kind of funny that some Christians are ok with taking medically prescribed drugs (as long as you dont overdose) yet recreational drugs such as marijuana are just as healing if taken in the right doses. Just some food for thought.
Anyway, 3 more weeks left of school til summer! Ive decided that im not going to minor in music, but instead i am either going to minor in marketing, or double major in human resources/entrepreneruship bc human resources is just 12 more credit hours.
I'm actually kind of excited for what is to come!!
Hope everyone is doing well :)
