A few weeks ago I was thinking about death and how we are all going to die one day. I was thinking, why not just die now? Why keep living if it’s going to happen anyway? Plus I’m saved so I know where I’m heading, thanks to God. I was tired of life; it’s so confusing—one moment you’re in sorrow and pain and the next your laughing and having fun.
One of those days…
Ever have one of those days when everyone you know just gets on your nerves and you don’t want to be around anyone? I sure have, many times. It starts off by one thing that someone does or says to me that annoys me or hurts me in some way. Then it keeps going from that one person to another, then to another…I know that it’s more of my problem than others’ because I know that a lot of the things people had done/said were really not that big of a deal and I was just being too sensitive. I realize this after thinking about it later on and reflecting on the day.
I think that this can be a good thing and a bad thing. Read the rest of this entry »
Why Even Celebrate Easter?
I’m really sick of peoples’ useless Easter traditions and ‘celebrations’ (Keyword- useless. I am not against traditions themselves). I love Easter and I love the fact that God died for our sins on the cross and rose again. However, I hate the fact that many people celebrate Easter as a mere holiday, and ignore the fact that we ought to celebrate God’s resurrection with the way we live our lives. Again, don’t get me wrong here, I don’t think traditions are wrong, I’m just disappointed with how people have all these traditions for that one day yet live the rest of the year as if they don’t even know God.
A reason for this could be because many sadly don’t know the meaning of Easter. Another reason could be because they just don’t want to live for God but they still celebrate because of tradition. But why even celebrate Easter if you don’t know the meaning? Why celebrate if you’re not doing it for the purpose of Easter– Jesus Christ’s resurrection–? I think if this is the case, it is better to just not celebrate Easter. Or, you can figure out what Easter really means and live your life for Jesus Christ. I like the second option more.

My Grandfather’s Death & God’s Comfort
It has been over a week since my grandfather past away and although you may not see it, this has really affected me within this past week in an unusual kind of way. I have always lived with my grandfather and he was a big part of my life. We had a special kind of relationship that he (and I) didn’t have with anyone else in our family. It is a given fact that I will miss him and I will never forget about him; his advice, his jokes, his daily routine, his stories, and his peaceful and humble presence.
I want to share this with you guys because I think that death within a person’s family is probably one of the worst and most depressing situations to find oneself in. One begins to miss the person and reminisce about the past and he/she may even have regrets of what he/she should have done when that person was alive. All in all, it’s a tough situation and time is what usually heals. Read the rest of this entry »
