It's 12:55AM and it doesn't seem like I'm going to be receiving the homework anytime soon. So let's talk...I've been wanting to do this for a while but schoolwork hates me DX
About a week ago, Claire and I talked a little about a very important lesson we learned at church (for her, at Alliance). The lesson: most of the little (and big) things in the world distract us from Jesus. Call me crazy, but both of us have been seeing it a lot in our lives lately. Homework, projects, YouTube, prom-talk (discussion only, no actual try-to-get-a-date or any of that stuff), etc...all of these things just drew us away from Him.
We may temporarily enjoy these things (or be so focused on them), but in the end, they're worth nothing when compared to Jesus. He is the one who brings us joy, He is the one keeping us strong. There is nothing greater than Him.
(sorry if my description is like...really bad. I'm extremely tired and my brain isn't fully functioning in terms of thought-processing)
Now a little more on faith. Recently, my dad gave me a little talk about how three months from now, the things that are currently stressing me won't matter as much. He is right in every way, EXCEPT this one line: "Even when God shuts the door on us, there's a window out."
The truth is, God will NEVER shut that door on us. He will always be there for me, for you, for everyone. When situations turn from bad to worse, I turn to Him for guidance. I cannot describe in words what He has done for me. He has never let me down before; He won't be doing so anytime soon.
Upon hearing those words from my dad, I was REALLY SHOCKED. He was in the church life all throughout his childhood, and all of his siblings are church leaders today. Even though my dad hasn't been to church for so long...I still couldn't believe he said that.
