There is so much pain, hurt, and control in this world. Why would someone who is suppose to help benefit another cause harm on them. There is such a thing as guidance and then becoming an oppressive obsessive person who is a control freak is an all together different thing. Don't they realize their actions simply push people away. They aren't benefiting anyone and frankly they should soon realize that they do not have ultimate control over everyone. It's just one of those moments where you shake your head wondering what on earth goes through people's minds when acting like that.

Life experiences influence reactions
Learned today that the way I interpret things is because of life experiences. Usually how we look at life depends on the different experiences we have had throughout our own life. One person may read or view on thing a certain way because of a past negative event they went through, while another may see it completely differently because of something they went through. So see when you want to make a joke about someone maybe reacting in what you think is a 'weird way' to something which you think is normal. Stop and don't judge! Because we never know for sure where those emotions and reactions are coming from.

People types
Oh People.Yes people in general. The more time i spend around people and the more I learn the more I realize that in many ways I can't stand people!
There are people who are like dictators. Be it at work, family, school, or just public life. These people decide that they are right and insist on attempting to enforce their view on others, and keep everyone trapped below them. Their power comes from the amount of control and 'brain-washing' they can achieve. They will not tolerate being proven wrong or argued against. These are the people who make standing up for your own opinions and believes terribly trying and hard.There are too many people today running businesses, famalies, schools, and so on like this...why do you think our world is in so much turmoil?
There are people who can be described in two words...hypocrites and fakes. These are the people who say one thing and do another. They set out to only put themselves ahead and they put their abilities to work in fooling the world and people. They do not hesitate to jump at an opportunity to 'act the part' when it isn't even relatively close to their true selves. They change their personality depending on the people,place, and situation...true sincerity is far from one of their qualities. These people often are the ones who give people groups bad names because they are vocal and unafraid to flaunt what they feel they have achieved.
There are also people who are so nieve and are easily walked on. These people see the world in only a positive light. They are willing to willingly follow what 'leaders' decide to do and rarely question it. They often times open themselves up to being taken advantage of and consistently, and not always on purpose, put themselves much lower than others. They do not acknowledge doubts about a persons intentions and often times end up hurt or in a bad situation because they turned a blind eye to a situation.
There are people who simply don't care what you think about them. Now this can be both a negative or positive way to live. When you don't spend all of your time worried about what people may think of you or what they may decide is right or wrong for you (if unreasonable) you often accomplish more. However if you go to the extreme and just go completely wild it will not be beneficial for you at all. When you are able to laugh at yourself and speak your mind freely you have a better grasp of where you fit in and where you can be affective. Striving to Not let people control you or your emotions often is beneficial because you no longer worry about what they think of you.
There are also people who have sincere hearts and intentions.These people are the ones who are die hard and sincere about thier passions. They speak their mind and they share passionately what are their believes and why. These people will not shy away from engaging you in a discussion and they often times will be excited for the chance. They are not motivated by personal fame or glory, it is often a much deeper connection. When you encounter these people they can be described as this a 'real person' they will be 'real with you'. There aren't many smoke and mirrors present 'what you see is what you get'.
Well these are just 5 types of people I tend to come into contact with alot, at least I have been lately, and there are many others I could list. We need to remember though that although we all fit a category we do not need to waste our time judging. Because we have ourselves to be consious of and responsible for.

Senior year nearly here
Senior year is coming up fast...last week of the summer now.
I can't believe I'm already a senior time has completely flown.
There is so very much coming up and so many big decisons to make.
It's nice to know that I'm not facing all these crazy decisons alone.
I've got a pretty big and powerful God on my side.
I also have my best friend and love of my life there beside me too.
My plan for this year?
Well I'm gonna make every day count.
Make memories that will last forever, and never be caught without my camera.

His...
Love...being in love...even though it has its ups and downs its all worth it. Why is it worth it? What makes it worth it?
His smile...reflecting his personality and giving away that he's in love with me too.
His laugh...on constant replay in my mind reminding me of his happiness and joy.
His hugs...those tight, long hugs that never seem to end letting me know he wants me close.
His heartbeat...my favorite sound to hear so steady and constant.
His goodnight calls...telling me that I'm on his mind and we hear eachothers voice before we fall asleep.
His cheesey little phrases...his way of expressing what he feels and they always make me laugh.
Walks to the park, or movies together...fun sweet memories being made every time.
His heart...one that is centered on God and that I know I am in as well.
Why is it worth it? What makes it worth it? Well there's a few of my reasonings. I would have never been able to try and explain it before but now I can.
Why can I? Because I have him in my life...my perfect other half who I plan on spending the rest of my whole life with.

Love God and love others...2 greatest commandments.
So my latest 'insight' is that there are two commandments which people need to start following. The first is love God and the second is love others. So if we trace all the problems in this world and all the sins going on what is lacking? Yep you're right love. Imagine if people today just focused on these two commandments. How would the world look today if people focused and followed those. Well the answer is a lot different.
So instead of all these people and churches arguing over tiny little differences teach that! There are silly little denomination arguements and those are all tools of the devil. We all argue with each other over tattoos, and piercings right and wrong. But hey when we are arguing over that we are wasting time which could be directed on Helping people.
Yes discipline is important don't think i am saying differently. But when we spend all our time arguing with each other and forcing views down brand new or struggling Christians throats how much are we really accomplishing?
I encouage and challenge you to take a step back. How affective have your efforts been lately at helping people. Or have you lately been more damaging to relationships. Everyone goes about things in a different way but here's my question for you. In everything you do are you loving God first and then loving people?
If you just answered no I encourage you to step back and make some changes.

Intriguing 'puzzles'
Something that has always intrigued me is a 'puzzle' which is just begging to be solved.
So imagine this type of scenario:
Random calls, strange circumstances, strange messages. Intriguing isn't it? You have no idea. Haha. It's just begging me to try and 'solve' it.
Imagine if I had all the same skills that I watch daily on tv. It would be so much fun and chances are not too many people would mess with me.
Well anyways it slightly surprises me that i've never had my mind set on a career in crime solving. It would be quite a fun challenge for me. :)

no more sugar coating stuff
Church time...
Been listening to alot of Lecrae lately. He points out what is wrong and doesn't sugar coat it. So why is it such a struggle for us to point out what is wrong in the life of our fellow believers? We are always so careful not to scare or offend anyone which often means sugar coating it. But if someone's sinning it means they are being seperated from God. And if we don't call them out on it...then where are they headed? Stop sugar coating stuff and get real so we can actually change this world.

replace worry and crying
When all you're doing is worrying and crying you have to change something. And NO I don't mean to give up and change your heart. But step back and shake your head and replace the worry with prayer and the crying with praise.
Challenging but necessary....God will see you through the tough struggles coming your way, even when you don't think He will or can....He WILL and CAN.
