Alright, I decided I needed a follow-up to my last blog post. Because someone made me realize I didn't address some things that I find important.
I am not saying that you should never be unhappy or negative. There are going to be times in your life that you will feel sad, negative, sorrow, devastation. And I find those times to be VERY important in your life. God definitely doesn't just send positive events to positive people, and I'm sorry if I implied that. I understand that even the most positive people will have negative events happen to them, because God always has a lesson for you to learn in any situation. And sometimes you just NEED to feel sorrow. I know that I go through a couple days almost every month, where I just need to be sad. Or I have something that I'm going through or things from my past pop up that I need to deal with. So, again, I'm sorry for implying that negative things are only happening to negative people. I don't agree 100% with the theory, and think that you can't have only positive things in your life. My main point is that you can turn any situation around, but sometimes, in some situations, it may be better for you to not be positive, and to deal with the pain and sorrow you need to go through to grow. I also think you need to go through hard times and go through pain if you want to become closer to God. If everything in your life was amazing and positive, then why would you ever need God? It'd be easy to forget about him. And I think sometimes, that's the exact reason you are feeling the way you are. God is saying, "Hey, remember me? I'm here for you, and you're forgetting about me." I know I find myself doing it all the time. There is always things to be thankful for in your life, and it will help the situation if you focus on them, but sometimes it's not enough, and that means you just have to deal with the pain and sorrow and ask God for help, and try and figure out why you are going through what you are and trust that God has a plan and is taking care of you.
Ok I think I'm done with my rant. I just felt bad for not addressing that side of things in my last post.
Stephney and I went to Gateway church on Sunday. We've decided we want to branch out and find a church that we love to go to, and maybe get connected in a small group together or something. So, we went, and I really liked it, as I think Steph did too. We will probably try other churches just to see what they are about, but I think Gateway is in the running. I just love churches like that. My main thing I want in a church is the preacher keeping my attention the entire time. Not boring me. and he did just that. I think he even talked for like 45 min or so, and I may have wandered off a couple times, but overall he was wonderful. So I will keep you updated on our church adventures. :)
By the way, I don't know what I would do without Stephney right now. She's just been an amazing blessing in my life the past 6 months. And I hope she knows that.
Rachel: Mon... Okay... I've gotta... just say what it is I'm gonna say... None of the amazing things that have happened to me in the last ten years, would have happened if it wasn't for you. No-one has been more like a sister to me...
Monica: I know what you mean. You're like a sister to me too.
Rachel: (starts crying and speaking at the same time, making it almost impossible to understand what she's saying) I wouldn't know what I'm gonna do without you...
Monica: (having the same problem) You're the best friend I ever had.
Rachel: (says something that cannot be understood)
Monica: What?
Rachel: I... I... I... (again saying something that cannot be understood)
Monica: That is so sweet. (they hug)
