Thought Someone Should Know

     So… Here I go again XD beginning my post with “so”  XD Anyway, I’m at an airport and they don’t have free wifi. How boring. So I thought I’d type a little.

     I’ve been traveling, well you probably guessed that since I’m in an airport, but I’m not gonna tell you where XP just cause. But… ugh, who am I kidding, I don’t know what I’m gonna talk about. I’m sorta… down today I guess. For no reason, really, but sort of a reason. Well. More like a reason that I told myself I wouldn’t be sad or whatever if “Situation A” and “B” happen,  because its’ dumb to b sad or whatever about it, but I guess I still am. It probably doesn’t help that although yesterday was fun in some way it was also stupid in others. I feel like Job, from the Bible, sometimes. Like God is allowing the Devil (should I capitalize his “name”?) to mess stuff up more than usual ya know? So ugh. Or maybe its just the fact that when I don’t’ have a reason to force myself happy, like for work and stuff, when I don’t get enough sleep for like more than two days in a row, I’m just not the happiest camper. Like, when I don’t get enough sleep (“enough” being like 8-9 hour) I just start to mentally deteriorate. Not getting enough sleep really affects me. Well… I make it sound bad, and if I need to force myself to do something I can, but I don’t like it. And then, when little things go sorta bad its just like little pokes that irritate you and by the end of the say you’re just done. However, since I know the story of Job and all that, I never complain. Well, I sorta do, but its not like I’m all cursing out God and stuff. I understand that everything happens for a reason and I know that God is a Good Father and that everything will work out for the best in the end :) And that’s what keeps me going. I just keep my eyes on God and keep my faith in him and of course, things get better.

     Now, it quite annoys me when people say stuff like “keep positive” and “think positive thoughts” and “keep a good energy” or something, because I think it skirts around the idea of God, but tries to be all inclusive of people who don’t believe in God and ends up just being meaningless. Like, it just me or does it just not sound right to say to someone who’s having a bad day, “Oh, just keep a positive mindset and it will all turn out.” Like, how do I keep a positive mindset? By saying positive affirmations and exercising? That just sounds like a cop out. You try staying positive when shit hits the fan. -_-  On the other hand, I think its much more reassuring to place your faith in God and to know that you are in His hands and He has you and He loves you and He understands what you’re going through and that the hard times are just molding you into a better you. Like, why be on your own when you can lean on God. That just makes sense to me.

     Ok random, but a baby being carried by her mom walked by (or rather the mother walked by carrying the baby…) and I like to make faces at babies XD Funny faces and the baby smiled! :D So yeah, XD that’s nice ^_^

    But back to the topic… Now, I don’t always know who is a Christian and who is not, but I think that if you are, you should speak like one. Not just in being polite and nice to people, but just mention God more in your speech, and actually mean it. And also, don’t mention Him when you don’t actually mean it. Like, instead of saying “keep positive” and stuff, because its so vague and seem unattainable, say something more like “trust in God and He will help you through it”. Now, I’m guilty of this a bit too. Especially if I’m talking to someone who I don’t know. But I do actually say stuff like that when talking to those I do know. And I just mention this at the end here (I realize my topic and tone has shifted while writing this) but… I mention this because I think we live in a day and age where a lot of people say they are Christian and stuff, but they don’t act like it. And I want to challenge Christians to be more Christ like and not be ashamed to talk about God. Easier said than done, but I say, that if you’re afraid of persecution, either physical or verbal, just know that you are in the Lord and nothing against Him can stand. He holds the whole world in his hands :)  God Bless and I’ll talk to you later!
