I'm a little bit o' everything...
one thing i can say about myself is that i'm passionate. i find something i'm interested in or that i want to do and i go full force ahead. don't bother holding me back. talking to a friend just now about her cousin, i was reminded of a quote out of the bible that i LOVE. when i read it i thought, now this is why i seem different from other young people who are floundering around in oblivion. i'm smart, i'm sharp, i know what i want, i know how i'll get it, and i know the steps to take in order to get it. "don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity." -I timothy 4:12.
i just got distracted and left the computer. now coming back, i've lost the momentum on that original thought, so i'll take it in a different direction. i think it's 10 times more important what people's actions are than what they say they believe. people who act like they're the super-christian here to save the world but act like idiots just piss me off. i would much rather show love and compassion for humankind and never mention even having a faith, than act all self-righteous and full of hot air without any actions to back it up. i don't care how many quotes you can throw at me, if you're a horrible person, you're still a horrible person. lead by example. given the choice between a prick who can shout out quotes, alienate most of the world, and not lift a finger to help out the less fortunate or a teen who's pissed at the world, wants to stick it to the man, talks like a sailor, and still doesn't help the less fortunate but thinks their situation sucks, i would choose the teen every single time. phone's ringing... gotta run!
P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
