50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind: 4-6

I'm back at this again cause as simple as it is, answering these questions is pretty fun as well as thought provoking.


4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Funny that I'm answering this question in a blog where I feel as though I say plenty.  . 
This is an area where I want to change.  I don't think I say exponentially more than I do but the ratio probably isn't equal.  I honestly think this is and area that the Lord is helping me change in.  I think He is teaching me to have a more gentle heart in confronting people and to have a more quiet and still heart in spending time with him.  To become a person of action in response to understanding and knowing truth- not just talking about it.  So to answer the question, if the world ended right now, I probably have said more than I've done.  That's just from my own personal perspective though and what I see in myself isn't always the way it really is.  But that's only so far and I don't just want to just be a hearer (or speaker) of the word but a doer of the word.  


5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
So. . . I wouldn't change anything about the world. Period. Because if something needed changed, I would let God do it.  He's much wiser than me anyway, along with being omniscient.  If I WERE in the business of changing things about the world though, I wouldn't really have any idea where to start.  So maybe this is sort of cheating but I don't have too much of an answer to this question.  At least not for now anyway.


6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
I like how this question is worded.  Work that would make me happy often would probably be any kind where I can  interact with and help people.  Probably a job where I could spend time with friends and have the chance to make new ones while reaching out to people that need it.  Or caring for people. I can't wait to be a mom and I think that job will make me very happy someday.  
To set the oppressed free and administer justice and see some sort of gratification for my work would be awesome I think.  Any job I do have though would make me happy if I know that it's bringing glory to God- which can be a great many jobs.  I don't have any particular ones in mind besides that already mentioned.

Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses. Write about the first time you broke the law. When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question.  Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to. An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful. Write about the passing of a loved one. My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience wa...

How do you feel about that?

Like I got hit by a truck.  Like a cement block got dropped on my entire body.  Like the wind was knocked out of me.  Like a deer in the headlights.  Like I got slapped and at first it was numb and now it stings. But. . . "In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.  These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."   1 Peter 1:6-7 It's worth it.

From desiringGod Blog

From a blog I follow called  desiringGod .  The whole website is full of truth.  I encourage you to check it out.  I've enlarged and boldened sentences I think are especially well said.   Not Your Mother's Kind of Tolerance by Jonathan Parnell | August 2, 2012   Views that advocate same-sex marriage are free to exist, but they are wrong. Now, stop. Read the above sentence again. Are you okay with it? Chances are how you feel about that statement indicates your understanding (or misunderstanding) of tolerance. D. A. Carson, in his book, The Intolerance of Tolerance , explains that Western culture isn't exactly firing on all cylinders when it comes to knowing what tolerance is. He distinguishes two different concepts of this word: old tolerance and new tolerance. Old tolerance — that is, before the onslaught of postmodernism — defines the concept as to "accept the existence of different views." New tolerance, however, defines tolerance ...
