It's about flexibility

'(1)Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sing that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (2) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.'
Hebrews 12:1&2, NIV

Sorry this is such a late post, btw. I wasn't really planning on staying up this late, but I just can't seem to be able to sleep yet. Not sure why not though. So here I am, sitting at the Mac in a dark room, typing out ... whatever I'm trying to type out. My emotions are kind of frazzled today.

Today I went to a different church than I had been attending the last couple weeks. I just felt I should try something else, seeing as it's pretty tough right now to go to the church I was attending. I'm kinda done putting myself in situations that hurt me. So I went to Pathway with some of my friends from the Bunker, and it was awesome. It was definitely a new way of experiencing God! Very out of my comfort zone, but amazing at the same time. Rob talked about how we need to be cautious of the decisions we make, because they can so quickly lead to sin. He challenged us to look at four different questions when making even the smallest decisions in our lives:

1) Does this choice meet God's approval?
2) Does this choice honor my family (both biological and Christian)?
3) Does this choice help others?
4) Does this choice make my life better?

I think I'll put that into practice. There are some immediately clearer choices in my life right now, and it hurts that they were so simple to see, yet I missed them until now. Way to be observant :S

I'm so tired, but somehow, I can't sleep. I hate this feeling. I almost never get this way, and it's frustrating. I think I'm going to go dive back into my Bible a little ... See what God has for me there.

Goodnight all!
