Spiritual Discerning



During fall break I had a life changing and eye opening experience to me. I have already broken what I promised to God. Going over to Taylor’s house and talking with them. I began to see a split personality in each one of them from when they were talking amongst themselves to when they talked to me. Their personality between themselves was very negative and hell bounce talking about violence and degrading people. The shift changed into a very subtle sweet and fake tone and act of concern. I began thinking something is not right here and I got really cold. I saw Sadie’s face and saw something that looked fake, something unreal, it reminded me of a fake doll. I believe I got a glimpse of the spiritual realm. I saw something purely evil in each one of my beloved friends. They had talked about participating in Wiccan activities in the past and I sometimes times hear them talking about using the Ouija board and doing séances and ritual activities concerning the dark arts. I believe I saw the spiritual aura of my three friends. I can only describe it as something that sends shivers down my spine and gives me goose bumps. 

Prayer



Be very persistent, don’t think or do it for only 4 minutes then forget about it, think about it as often as possible, even though this seems like over kill, from the time you wake up until you go to bed, PRAY! Pray to your father like your talking to your best friend, take to him like he’s your daddy who loves you, and don’t make it ritualistic or weird or awkward. Tell him you don’t know where to start or how to do it, but you’re tired of living like this. You don’t know the first step in this who god/Jesus thing but you know there’s something more and better. The third thing is read the bible, because there is no better way if you truly want to know what god has to say he can speak through the bible to you. And when you’re praying do not expect to hear an auditable version of gods voice. Just pray out loud and continuously add to your thoughts and think and think and think and soon he will reveal the answers you are looking for. The three things are, prayer, bible, and be persistent about praying and seeking god.

Feelings Inside



I cannot express how I feel, no matter how hard I try. The words I want to say wont flow from my mouth. All I know is there is something bigger and better than this. If we are the children of god we need to act like it. God please guide my words and will. Let your words flow from my mouth and actions reflect what is truly good. We need to be like the men and women you called us to be. We need to show love and compassion to everyone. I do not want to be anything less than the righteous person you called me to be. Even when it hurts and when it is hard. I want to come to you and let you know I need you.

Thanksgiving Break

During Thanksgiving break I encountered plenty of people who were broken. I realized that they did not just need God shoved down their throat, which is what was happening to them, they needed love and someone to trust. People need someone to show them compassion and forgiveness. People need someone they can lean on and who will be their for them. Far to often Christians are constantly criticizing people telling them what they are doing wrong, rather then loving them.
