Man, people can get pretty annoying sometimes. It's just as bad for me to just sit there and silently judge my friends though.
Pet Peeve: over aggressive people. Shut up man. lol
Man I can really hate guys sometimes. Funny how I exempt myself from that though. -_- #hypocrisy #hashtag
I guess it's because I'm pretty calm, reserved and passive. But just saying.. usually the loudest and "alpha male" guys I've met have proven to be the weakest and the biggest cowards I've ever met.
Man up, bro.
"All talk. A piggy bank with 2 toonies makes more noise than one that's full."

Rising above hate and into the Love of God is the most uplifting thing. It feels so free to see for once the world in complete love... and that's actually the only time I see the world complete.
Haters, Hate, so and so did this, so and so did that, Hypocrisy. Man you could cloud your mind with all the self righteous thoughts that you could and at the end of the day I bet you couldn't say truthfully that with all that in your mind you are as happy as a 5 year old. I bet you couldn't say that you have total peace in your heart.
But, once you step out of the enslaving battle of hate vs. hate, you realize that the bigger picture and the greatest battle of all is the battle of love vs. hate. When you stand for love in all its mysteriousness and curvy and confusing roads, you'll see what God has truly called of us to persevere in.
In the battle for love, no other place is there that all that is good is truly defined. No other place can you find the right road to try and learn what you can about hope, faith, forgiveness, humility, virtues, patience, perseverance, kindness, charity, and everything else that is good.
Everything else that is God.
When you stand for God, you stand for love. And when you stand for love, it's the only time in our short human lives on Earth that we truly see the universe complete.
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." -1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)

Perseverance
The battle is not over yet.

I'm afraid to say, but I don't think you can run away from your feelings.
People look ridiculous when they run from reason, and they look just as ridiculous when they run from their emotions.
Somewhere along the line God planted in us these 2 very confusing things that constantly clash at each other (brain vs heart anyone?) and by far, I have to say they have both made me want to give up.
What is faith without passion? What is faith without reason? You can not simply put your faith in reason or else you will grow complacent and lukewarm, full of your reasons that can easily be manipulated for the worse. Neither can you simply put your faith in emotions or else it'll come and go just like the wind.
What is steadfast faith?
Some days, I feel like in an effort to balance both, I lose one and gain another, or gain the other and lose the other... or just lose both.
On a brighter and positive note, so you can see the good in my life as well, things are going so well. I am happy and I know that I am blessed considerably with this life. Family is great, friends are awesome (sometimes), and school is... okay! haha
But anyway... As much as I shield myself with these reasons and emotions. I'm kinda scared to admit that... I think I am losing it.
Everyday that I think and feel that I grow closer to God, the more so I feel like my sins cost.
Sometimes it feels so unfair being Christian.
Sometimes I no longer feel guilty the same way I used to feel guilty about that sin. I guess that's what throws me off the most, if anything it just truly reveals to me that human reason and emotions are not enough. They won't suffice. I need something more... And I know where to find it... I just don't know how to create a proper bridge there.
Now that I think about it, I guess that's what my problem has been the whole time. That overlying one.
The fact that I need new reasons, and new ways, to follow Him. My Saviour. The past is gone... but the damage is still here. Maybe that's why I feel so indifferent to so many things, people and groups these days. It's because the way I used to approach them was through a certain way and outlook on life that is clearly lost in the past now.
I've changed, and I guess my old faith isn't so compatible with the new me... Again... I need to renew my faith. I need new reasons to follow Him.
