Hey guys. Well anyways you should be proud of yourself. You are one of the few readers who still checks this blog for inside information on my life. Good work. If I could, I would give you a pat on the back.
Christmas break has been very unproductive. I didn't get any presents for my beloved brother or sister. I was pretty devestated when I realized what I had done. On top of that I really haven't been practicing since I've gotten home. For some reason, I need to be in LA away from family and friends to be productive... how sad.
Fear not though! I have been spending time with the family, which is great of course. Jon is going through some tough times. Wish I could help him out more at times, but there's so much I can say or do. Man, this post sounds mega depressing, but truly, I'm not depressed.
God, sustain me.
So I wrote a note today for that future special somebody that I haven't found yet. It sounds pretty silly but it's actually a very sweet and encouraging love letter. I can already see that It's going to be quite a few years until God shows me where she's at. I figure if at some point I think it's the most stupid thing, I'll just shred the letters. Yeah, sounds like a plan. I guess God somehow wired me to think about this kind of stuff now, so I just need to address this issue in obediance to His word.
You know what I realized today? Normally, when people look for other people to be in relationships with, they tend to look at stuff like if the person is attractive, cute, and has a engaging personality. Unfortunatly, it is forgotten that a partner must be someone who you can grow with spiritually and who will challenge you as a Christian. Looks, I think, are often overrated. A person who is dead sexy is not so sexy when they are Godless and materialism driven. You won't be feeling the love when your relationship falls apart because you got yourself into a bad relationship based on bad motives and reasons.
Just because a girl or guy is a Christian, a genuine convert even, it doesn't mean they automatically are above the bar; it really doesn't mean much at all. A person can be a Christian and not challenge you at all as a believer.
Maybe this also exposes something about yourself. Do you call yourself a Christian? If you are a girl, if you got in a relationship with this guy, are you helping him to glorify God in obediance and follow his life calling? Most of the time it's not the case. It's only the case in one scenario, and that is if he is going to be your husband. Maybe i surfaces some issues that maybe you aren't a strong Christian. Maybe you are a weak Christian.
Christians are not perfect, but being weak is not how you should live. I know that I'm a weak Christian often times. Every day I fail to be obediant and I fail to be a holy reflection of Christ. In our weakness we should come before an all powerful God and ask for strength and sustainance.
"For the kingdom of God is power." I wish I truly knew what that meant.
Oh God, you will sustain me. I said a lot of things on my mind, but what I intended to really hit home was that it is important to view a person's spirituality as the most important attractive attribute.
