Thankfulness

So, I know it's November and every one's doing things on thankfulness, so I decided to add my own thoughts.  I find it ridiculous.  We say we're so thankful for thing in our life, yet complain about the smallest of things (myself included).  I'm so tired of people complaining about not being able to get their Starbucks for the fourth time that week, or being mad because their mom or whoever didn't give them the right ring, or shirt, or game or whatever.  Like seriously, be thankful that you got your beverage earlier in the week, or that someone thought about you and cared to get you a gift.  Our society is so wrapped up in themselves that we forget to take a step back and see how incredibly blessed we are.  We are blessed to even live in America, and have food on our plates everyday, a roof over our head and clothes on our bodies. 


Colossians 3:15-17                    
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

 

He Doesn't Favor Anyone

So, this has been something that's been bothering me.  I know probably no one will read this, but it's still something I'd like to share.

So, I was watching a video the other day and the guy was saying how blessed we are as teens in this age to be able to know and learn about Christ.  He was saying this is so, because Christ favors us over the other people in the world.  Proof that he favors that, is that we have the chance to learn about him.  NO, NO, FREAKING NO! God does NOT favor anyone over the next person. 

Deuteronomy 10:17 says: "For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe."

John 13:16                   
Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

Galatians 3:28                     
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

So, please, just no. God loves us all equally, no matter what we've done in our past, what we're doing now, or what we may do in our future.  He loves us all just as much as the next person.

 

 

He Has You

 

A Little Bit of Breeze

"I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything"

So, yesterday at our school we had a worship service.  Our principle was talking about how we should get alone with God and just pray, and if we had anyone we needed to forgive or ask of forgiveness then now was the time.  So, I was alone, crying my eyes out when my friend asked if I would let our principle pray for me.  So I was like okay, yeah, I'll go.  I walked up to her and I couldn't keep from crying, I told her I was sick of living in fear of what other people thought about me and hiding my gifts from God cause I was afraid.  So she talked with me and prayed over me.  After that I went to talk with a girl who I really hadn't gotten along with at all that year.  I went up to her and hugged her and apologized for everything that had happened that year and listened to her side of the story. It felt so good to just talk to her and et go of my bitterness.  I don't really know why I'm posting this, but I don't know, I feel different after yesterday.  I feel happier, and free.  I guess my point is, is that even if you don't think it can do much, prayer is very strong thing.  Prayer is how you talk to God and grow closer to Him.  It can change your life.  So, yeah, I don't know, I just wanted to share that cause after letting go of my bitterness towards that one girl I feel so, so much better.  And I felt more comfortable in my own skin after my principle prayed over me, and I'm very thankful for her.  Sooo, yup, here's a picture I took today, I'll share more tomorrow.

This is kinda a awkward looking picture, but there's something about it that I like haha(:



 

Facebook and Twitter

So, recently I deleted my Twitter and Facebook.  Everyone was like, "What, June why?!"
Well, here's the reason.  Quite honestly, I believe it's a huge waste of time.  I've always believed that, but I kept it cause it was fun and everyone had it so I felt like I should have it to.  Well the past couple of weeks I realized it just made me depressed.  I looked at people's "Happy Posts" and would always be like, "Why can't my life be like that? Why is their life so much better then mine?" And then I'd look at people's "Sad Posts" and it it would just make me feel sad and depressed for them and it brought me down.  Whether it was my friends posts or a complete strangers.  So that was one reaason.  The second reason is, again, it's a waste of time.  I mean I'm looking at posts about people loving food and "10 Ways To Know Your BF or GF is Cheating On YOU!!!" and it's pointless.  It's fun to tweet friends and stuff but it's just a waste.  Instead of staring at a screen for 3 hours, I could learn a new song on the flute, draw a picture, paint a portrait, or write a song.  Do something that is productive and I enjoy doing.  My reasons for deleting my Facebook are a little more personal so I won't post them. 

But yeah, I'm not saying that social sites are bad, I'm just answering why I deleted mine and giving my honest, personal opinion.

~Update~

So, here's an update on my life.  I don't even know when the last time I posted is. Anyways.

 

This year I went out to a private school instead of being homeschooled.  The beginning of the year was, well, kinda hard.  I wasn't used to the schedule, or having to bring home homework every night. I was used to either finishing my school at 9-11 in the morning or finishing at sometimes 5 at night.  I tried to avoid that though haha.  It was also hard cause I was used to being the only one taught in my grade, so if I didn't understand something, we'd take extra time on that thing.  But now, when I didn't understand it really didin't matter.  I had to just kepp going with everyone else and hope to pass my quizzes and tests.  But yeah, I'm sure you know about that.  I love school now but it's still hard sometimes.  I am an extremely shy, quiet person.  At least in public, at home that's different haha.  But it's hard for me cause when I get in front of people I freeze.  I don't know what to say and I feel awkward and uncomftorable.  I feel my face turn red and I rush through what I'm saying.  So, now I have to present projects in fron of my grade (Which is only 6 people, but still) ad sometimes my entire class (agian, very small, 15 people including me).  I feel terrified when I get in front of people.  And I care entirely wayyyy too much of what people think of me.  I'm quiet cause I'm afraid of what people will say or think of me.  I wish I wasn't that way, but I am.  And sometimes my friends make fun of me or give me a hard time about it and it makes me feel even worse. But, since I have gone out to school, I've gotten better.  Not much, but still better. My amazing and encouragin friends have also helped me come out of my shell a little.

Ha, so yeah thats a little more than an update on my life, I guess?

Nothing is really new besides school. Besides the whole Elijah situation but that's gone.  He is with a different family now but yeahhhh. 

I'm Back

Hello :) So, I'm going to try to keep up with my blog again.  I deleted both my twitter and Facebook, so this will be what I use now. 
If you've looked at my blog before, you'll notice that I've changed my name from "Sister Diaries" to "Creatively Imperfect".  This is because the situation with Olesja did not really work out.  We wanted to host her this summer but apparently she's being hosted by another family though another hosting program.  So yeahhh, there's a strong chance I shall never see here again.

So now I will be posting mostly my photography and other random posts here and there.
