I like to look at my mind as a mush of great muddled ideas that I never really finish because, well, I rarely finish a thought.
Awesome thing about me. :D
Its always intersting to have a deep discussion with me...you should try it sometime.
Youll be amused I guarantee it. =]
BUT, amidst my muddle of puddles, I have pondered on a certain question-
What is the answer to the question of life? I kno,
huge random question, right? Well, details, details.
Lets move on.
So, our human nature is to do everything secular, right? And the Bible, at least the gist of what I've gotten of it from what Ive been told and what parts Ive
actuaaalllyyy read ( I KNOW shocker..) we are supposed to go against every aspect of our basic human nature. So, I think that God wants to see just how many people can go against their basic human nature and serve Him and well, basically prove to Him just how dedicated to Him we each are.
Of course, not all of us can go to Nigeria and build a church and feed the homeless and such. At least, I don't plan to. Not that I don't hope every single child should totally have dinner tonight, I just have homework. And like, a Psychology degree. Well, in four years.
But anyways, where was I...ah, yes. there are different levels. Some of us simply pray to Him every so often, and try at times to not cuss and send a bird to everybody that makes us mad. That's the point I've been at for a very long time. I have always wanted to try new things, and some new things aren't necessarily the Godliest things ever, so I haven't wanted to go all the way and read my Bible every day and actually WANT to serve Him. Somewhere in the Bible doesn't it say that in order to find Him we have to seek Him? Well, lets just say I wasn't 'seeking' Him. I was just having a short little convo with Him when I hadn't slept in 24 hours and had to make a good grade on a test. That, FYI, isn't seeking Him. Case any of you are at that point. Of which I really hope you aren't. But you can be and I wont judge you because I pride myself on my open-mindedness and try by best to
not judge which IS going against my human nature and I have done this my whole life- well, at least in the past about...Five? years. Butttttttt, I went off a rabbit trail there.
Yes. There are people who talk to Him every day and want to serve Him and they go to church all the time and might sometimes go to Devos somewhere and say
no to bad things like drugs and drinking and illegal things because they want a good rep and have a part of them that they want God to be proud of them and so this is what they do.
So, as you can see, there are people who gradually climb up this so called 'ladder' of 'want' and I, personally, believe God wants to see just how willing we are to serve Him. Why did he create us? To see how much self discipline each of us can muster? But wouldn't he kind of know? Since he kind of created us?
I had a pretty intense discussion with one of the girls on the floor about
allll of this and some really new viewpoints were brought to my attention- Most credited to a certain
Jessica Harper.

In my Psychology class, I am learning how our perceptions of reality are based on how our mind processes our experiences- If we are cold and walk outside into 100 degrees, we are going to be relieved. But if we are extremely hot and have just worked out, then stepping into 100 degree weather is the
lassstttt thing we ever want to do. So, of course this extends into different areas- our whole perspective of life- but that is a whole aspect I could go on and on with.
YES I'm very aware this blog is completely random, But I think that I will make a series, which will be, basically,
explaining this one. Because I sat down to explain one aspect of my thinking and well, went into a whole bunch and I don't really wanna erase all that I wrote all up there because there is a high chance I will forget it all. Plus I haven't slept in a long time and have had lots and lots of coffee so there's an excuse to have a completely random blog! Plus I was just in Psychology class and, I'm not quite sure if you have any idea how thought-provoking a psych class is...but I'm sure you can imagine.
But, thats all for now. I must go study my Spanish vocab words if I hope to pass. And get more coffee. yay.
