Just because you're famous doesn't mean you aren't a person.

I was talking with a friend yesterday and we were talking about Justin Bieber. It was interesting because he said, "he's such an awful person." Something smacked me in the face when those words were said. I was like wait a minute...he's just like us. There is no difference. He made bad decisions...but so have I! None of us are any better than anyone. I was like WHAT?! He isn't a bad person...he's a person as we all are. A depraved human who makes mistakes all the time...like all of us! The only difference is that his mistakes are blown up on the TV for everyone to see and online everywhere. Honestly, I think that's awful. The same goes with Miley Cyrus. Yes she makes mistakes, once again, as we ALL do. There is no difference here. Yes, as a person who is constantly in the spotlight, you do need to be careful about the decisions you are making because so many see it and are looking to you as a role model. But this doesn't mean we are free of mistakes! No one is. Were equally depraved. Just so interesting to me that just because we see it on the TV it makes it so much worse when in fact we go and do the same thing later on, but because it isn't blown up it isn't as bad as them. NO! A sin is a sin period. No one here is free of sin. I just encourage everyone to be careful what you say about anyone around you because no one is free of mistakes. Try to remember that when you see a famous person make a mistake! Have a grand day! :)

What's Life?

Life...is such a perplexing thing. It's full of questions. I have so many questions for God about why and how things happen. We want answers right?! This is something I have always struggled with. Just be clear with things am I right? My theology class has been so interesting! We talked a little bit about how God is a mysterious God! There are so many questions and things that we are so curious about but we will never know until we see Him face to face. I think that it's definitely okay to question. We're all going to go through things and wonder why that happened and it may make us question our whole life, but I've learned that it's okay. We don't have all the answers, but we don't need them! I think that if we had that knowledge we would probably implode. We wouldn't be able to handle it because we are finite and God is infinite! He isn't bound by these worldly things that we are bound by. I had an awesome conversation with a great friend and we discussed all these mysteries about the after life. It was so interesting to discuss different opinions about things but at the end of it we were both like this is cool but we don't know! We don't need to know. It's most important to rely on God and your relationship with Him. This is what needs the most focus! We can discuss all of these things but they aren't what's important. WE DONT NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING! Focus on God. If you need clarity from Him about something I believe that He will eventually give it to you, but it's most important to stay focused on Him. I know that I can get so caught up in getting answers and wanting to know what I WANT. Which is extremely selfish. Obviously if it hasn't been clear to me then there's probably a reason. God wants us to focus on Him and rely on Him for everything and as we do that everything else will fall into place. Just some thoughts I've had! Have a grand day, anyone who may be reading this! :)
