I feel embarrassed.

I feel embarrassed for us christians. For our attitudes and the hypocrisy. Me included. 

I feel awful.

I feel awful that we are all willing to act the way that we do sometimes. I feel confused that we are willing to do it in the name of Jesus. 

I feel ashamed.

I feel ashamed that we allow our attitudes to get out of line.

I feel convicted.

I feel convicted when I think of how our tempers hurt God.

My attitude gets way out of line sometimes. My bitterness overflows sometimes. The hate in my heart consumes me sometimes.

The stress,

and the earthly things,

and the prideful feelings,

and the selfish thoughts,

and the need to be better,

and smarter,

and faster,

and more liked, take me over sometimes.

When I think about how these things are going to be things I have to struggle with for the rest of my life it reminds me just how perfect Jesus is. It reminds me how thankful I need to be that He saved me despite how crappy I can be.

I just wish I was capable of more as a human. 

It is a good reminder however to keep my attitude in check. And to remember that

people read what we post,

people watch how we act,

people notice how we stare,

and laugh,

and judge.

I could be the only light of Jesus that some people see throughout the day. And I do not live up to that.

That Awful Moment…

When you fall asleep knowing that in the morning you have to remember to put your french project on a flash drive because it is due.

When you remember, but cant find where you saved it on your computer.

When you realized you accidentally dragged it into the trash bin.

When you remembered you emptied your trash bin a few days ago and your project is gone forever.

When all this happens 15 minuets before you have to leave.

When you have to throw you project back together so that you get some points.

My life is a fail.

It’s really hard to miss someone who isn’t the same person anymore. But if it counts for anything I miss you, or who you used to be.
