What's on your mind?

[SarahsKnight]

Unless you are just some kind of objectively awful human being, stay true to yourself, people. God made you this way.

As for me, while recognize that I am extrapolating from this video's intended message a bit too much at this point, I am a knight, and I will stay true to that, even when I fail. I may fail, but I will never stay down.

The dark half will never truly win, because the Holy Spirit does not abandon one who believes.

Me, still railing against the power.

What yall think of the new Eminem freestyle? I thought it was dope..

Emotional abuse is always tough. I just have to remember that it is that person's insecurity that is manifesting itself in a destructive way. I just pray that the Lord helps me through and uses it to strengthen me and also that He heals them.

I know how that feels. Not fun. Hang in there.

I decided to be brave today... Did something way out of my comfort zone and took a crazy chance.... Of course I crashed and burned-- but-- I was brave-- that's something-- right?......

Been four hours and still haven't been able to fall asleep. Looks like I'm pulling an all nighter. Haven't done this in a while, oh boy..

No, you didn't crash and burn. Whatever that crazy chance was, it wasn't the biggest prize on offer there. The biggest prize was what you did - you went so far outside of your comfort zone that you couldn't even see your comfort zone. And that, I can assure you, won't go without reward.

Believe what you want, but I'm telling you. GREAT things happen to those who dare to go to that place you went to. If you do it regularly enough you'll only arrive at success.

This ain't some sort of life coaching lecture, this is the TRUTH.

Yikes. Not fun.

1 Corinthians 15:16-20
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

Specifically on my mind is the part where it says "are are of all men most miserable". Because how true it is... I mean, if I live my life out as a faith walk in Christ, and it turns out to be false, then my life has been wasted. But Paul reaffirms it and says "But now Christ is Risen".

I have faith Christ will not be proven false. We walk by faith, not by sight. It can't be both. We will be redeemed.

It amazes me how something that once filled me with fear and worry has become the passion fueling my existence.

Life. Happiness. Purpose.
It's all about your perspective.

 

[Galatea]

Wondering about fate, and why people come into your life, and why they leave and what they were doing in your life to begin with? And what purpose did you serve in their life? Second chances, things like that.

A big thumbs up for yoo!

I could use something like that right now. I'm feeling like I'm stuck in a place where I can tell I'm making progress, but not with the things I want to find the most on my path.

It's annoying in a very special way, because the fact that I'm not getting closer to the things I'm looking for, which hold a special meaning to me, makes me want to complain, but the knowledge that I'm making progress in other things makes it feel like if I complain, I'm being extremely ungrateful.

Yeah, first world problems.

I know what you mean. My dad emotionally abused us as kids, it's hard. Praying for you and the person who is abusing you.

Oh boy! All this edifying is just so awesome! look at all the building up! Exciting!!

I prefer veiwing fate as an answer, rather than a question. I find life has an abundance of dark corners when you give it context.

While yes, we are blessed that our problems lie more in mental contemplation than in physical need, sometimes the realization of mortality can be just as devastating to an adult as a child losing his favorite toy.

In the end, we all worry what pictures our legacy will paint, and the greatest boon of an artist is knowing the difference between a doodle and a work in progress.

I meant more when people leave out of your life, I was wondering why the person was in your life in the first place, and why you were in theirs. And I am hoping that in the final analysis, my purpose in theirs was for good and not for ill.

I believe it is not our purpose to discover our own purpose, as it is a mass of endless, unusable information.
Rather, I believe, it is healthier to focus on the lessons we learn, based on decisions we make during any given interaction.

If he yearns for wisdom, he will discover what your purpose was.
Can you define, without a doubt, his purpose for you? What you gained, what you lost, and how it has affected your soul?
If not, spend some time in your own head before getting lost in guessing about someone else's. Otherwise youre jumping in a dark well, hoping you hit water.

I have analyzed his role in mine for months, now. I know it was for good- overall. The final analysis is he was there for good. I hope I was in his life for a good purpose, too. I am haunted thinking I may not have been. But, I won't ever know. You're right, wondering is just pointless speculation.
