Okay I know my opinion is extremely invaluable to everyone on tumblr, but I’m going to share it anyway. So these pictures are going around with the hashtag #the best argument against the bible is the bible. I just want to tell everyone of my followers that all of these verses are extremely out of context. When people read this they’re not hearing about who wrote it, why they wrote it, and what it means. Anything can be taken out of context and sound horrible. When reading the Bible you have to decide with every verse whether what the writer is saying is prescriptive or descriptive. All of these verses are descriptive, meaning they are simply describing the situation, which usually involves the culture of the day. Prescriptive is when we are suppose to apply it to our lives today. So how about this, you go read the Bible for yourself, and talk to some real theologians, rather than reading a billboard put up by people who have obviously been hurt by the church.

I don’t write this to be mean, or “that christian”. I’m writing it because it hurts me to see the God I love being so misrepresented. I’d prefer to stand for something even if it means some people might get mad or disagree with me.

And if you’re upset with me for posting this or you have questions just send me a message, and we’ll chat about it. :)

The right person at the wrong time, is the wrong person.

There is so much truth in this statement.

It really sucks when the right person comes in at the wrong time. Everything seems right, but the truth is that it only seems right. I don’t know what is right for me, only God knows what is going to make me happy for the rest of my life. I wish I knew and could chose who is right, but I can’t.

I made a promise not to date during my internship at The Oaks, and I think I’ve kept within that promise really well, besides Valentines Day. I don’t regret it, but I did step outside of the promise, and that was a mistake. All I know is this, that trying to cheat one’s way around a promise will never work. A relationship doesn’t need a title to be what it is. I liked someone and I told him that I could not date, and he listened and he respects that. The truth is, it only leads to frustration, because the promise I made requires guidelines. Guidelines that I continually want to ignore, because my emotions are saying yes, and my God is saying no. So I drag my feet around having expectations that can never be met within the confines of this promise. How about every boy just stay as far away as possible for one more year, that would be good.

The right person at the wrong time is the wrong person.

Hinds’ Feet on High Places

This book is blowing my mind.
Lately I haven’t had time to read, because I’ve been so busy and I haven’t really caught any great books that keep me up at night. Anyways so Bianca read Hinds’ Feet on High Places for Internship and I heard some good things so I was like ‘“my turn!”

A little backup information: Hinds’ Feet is an allegory and it’s about a girl named ‘Much-Afraid’ and she decides to follow the Shephard to the “High Places”. I’m not really gonna get into the whole story but it’s pretty much amazing.

This book has seriously renewed my love for God. It’s so easy to fall into the motions especially when you spend alot of your time in ministry. I recommend this book for pretty much anyone but especially people involved in ministry because it just reminds you of everything. It reminded me of how much I love the Lord and how real he is in my life. How at one time, not long ago for me, God came to me at my lowest place and told me that he could turn my lame feet into hinds feet and he would take me to the High Places.

Ah, so good.
