Heavenly race.. I no go tire


The exclusive nature of Christianity has to be its most defining feature as well it's most annoying feature for young Christians. Although I'm slightly a control freak (over my life) and can't be drunk for that reason, I'd like to chill out at a bar occasionally. I still sometimes feel it should be okay, but since it's a bridge hanging by a thread, I just don't cross it anymore. That's a personal thing and I guess we all have ours. I know lots of females who feel like an outfit is incomplete without some display of cleavage. I know guys who can't let a Friday night go without some crazy "turning up". Individual preferences I guess. If I wasn't a Christian, I probably still wouldn't have been a party animal, as it's not really my thing, but I'd talk a lot more. I'd give people much more detailed pieces of my mind and explain how much foolishness they display (no filtering). No one would be allowed to correct me except I asked for it. And oh dear, would I sleeeep!   Oh and watch all the series I'd love to watch but can't because of the thoughts they provoke.

Never said I'm flawless
See I wanna be used
But I get confused
Able to be tempted
But what I did was I called on Jesus
You see me plus Him
Makes me walk different
Makes me talk different
Even sing different
But I'm a work in progress
And I know He's not finished
He's working on me
He's working on meeeeeeee ..) Uh oh
- If you didn't figure it out yet, that's J. Moss' "Just James." It's a beautiful song.

At this point, I'd like to note that it's not beans. But it makes sense to me and that has helped me stick with it. Understanding why I am giving up that thing  makes it easier to deal with.

You would not mix rotten eggs with good ones just for variety, would you? It's disgusting, I know. But that's how living a double life is.

Figure out why you decided to be a Christian and stick with it. Reflection is usually good practice. It's easy to make that big resolution and never follow through with it. Think about your life often enough that you can easily tell when you're going wrong and find your way back. Above all, "birds of a feather flock together" never rang truer than it does in Christianity. You're an eagle, please fly with fellow eagles. No need to swaddle like ducks.

Hey Lil Troublemaker.

I have a midterm anyway, so there's no way around school today. No point whining. There's a 3-minute bus for the 7minute walk I have to make to my next class.  When the roads are icy and slippery (like today) and man's greatest fear is becoming 'Humpty-Dumty the second', that walk becomes more10-ish minutes. So, of course I'll take the bus! *Whew!*. I made the bus.  To calm my raging nerves - because I'm pretty tensed about my Stats midterm - I read the cover page of Metro newspaper. The story I first see is something about wheelchairs not getting priority over strollers. Lol? Who wouldn't know that? On second thought, it wouldn't be on the front page of the paper if something hadn't happened. Apparently, some bus driver had told someone with a toddler to get off t...

Thoughts on Being Aliens on Earth and Entertainment-Related Filth

I now get why some Christians decide to do extreme things like refusing to own a T.V. I'm watching this episode of Moments with Mo , and the topic is No Romance without Finance. Urgh. So may things be hitting the wrong nerves. I'm giving this thing a try where I completely substitute my music for Christian music. It's doable, I know. But I love Sunny Ade and a little Olamide here and there. I mean, I already know better than to accept the lyrics of the songs as the truth, but on some days I'm also embarrassed of what I'm listening to. I DJed for about15 minutes at a hangout  with my friends the other day, and when the pretty gross lyrics of Olamide and Phyno's "Ladi" came on, I was quite ashamed. The friends weren't even actively listening to the words of the song, but my own spirit condemned me.
