my life?

God's kingdom isn't a matter of what you put in your stomach, for goodness' sake. It's what God does with your life as he sets it right, puts it together, and completes it with joy. Your task is to single-mindedly serve Christ. Do that and you'll kill two birds with one stone: pleasing the God above you and proving your worth to the people around you.

Dirty Slates

Jesus was matter-of-fact: "Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake'—no shuffling or shilly-shallying—and it's as good as done. That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything. And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it's not all asking. If you have anything against someone, forgive—only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins."

Thinking Evolved

I've been writing all day; since 3:00 pm, my hands have pounded upon my keyboard, and what do I do after hours of writing for class?: I write some more. That's the one thing you surely will discover about me; I love to write. And as a hopeful English major in college, this is probably a good thing. I've enjoyed writing for some time, and now I am finally developing it, both academically and creatively. So for those of you who rather dislike my, more or less, wordy transcendental essays, there's still hope; my creative non-fiction, as well as my fiction will be on here, too. I doubt anyone will wake up in the middle of the night to see if I've posted any new blogs, but I will probably wake up in the late hours of the night to post something new. Either way, someone benefits from this; I get to write, you get to read. I'd say that's a pretty good deal.
Titled as Thinking Evolved, this blog does just that. As Henry David Thoreau wrote, "Things do not change; WE change." And I think this is so true. In general, people have been dealing with the same questions, struggles, and joys since the dawn of time. Those tings have not changed, but we change, and that is, for better or worse, a good thing. Life would be pretty boring if personal attributes did not change. I for one am glad I have changed since first grade, since high school, and since last week. Change can be a bother, but it is still, nonetheless, inevitable. So this, as a result, is how I deal with that change, along with my thoughts, creativity, and pretty much everything else.
