50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind: 22-25

22. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
Losing touch with a good friend who lives right near me.  For sure. Because you can always visit that friend that moved away (not to mention video chat and talking on the phone) but once you drop a friendship right next to you, it's harder to pick up again than getting on an airplane.  
23. What are you most grateful for?
I'm most grateful for God's character being the way it is.  Because logically, either He's alive and He is who He says He is or He doesn't exist at all.  
It is my honor to be a witness that He is alive (because I have witnessed Him being who He says He is).  
So how awful would it be not if God did exist, but if He wasn't who He says He is? It would be even worse than living in a world where there was no God at all (which would be an oxymoron anyway since He is the creator and sustainer of all).  
Everything "going wrong" wouldn't mean everything blowing up in your face.  Everything "going wrong" would mean that there wasn't anything good to trust or believe in when everything was blowing up in your face.  I don't think the world would just end-I think it would be a huge obstacle course of torture that drags on for a long time and at the end of which you are left to die alone, full of fear and purposelessness.
24. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?
Dang, that's rough.  Well if I had to lose all my old memories, I wouldn't know anything now.  Not even how to talk or eat by myself.  That would really be bad.  But if I could never make any new memories, life would be really frustrating as well.  Especially if I was aware of the fact that I wouldn't remember anything I did the next day.



I think I would rather keep my old memories because although I don't know that much, I don't want to loose what I do know about what really matters in life.



25. Is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first?
I don't think so.  I never realized it before now because it happens so quickly but at least when it comes to seen things, the question that goes through my mind before I accept what I see as reality is: is this real or not?  If our brains never tricked us or there were no such thing as a lie, we could accept everything we perceived without question but since the devil is real and a liar, I think it's good that we challenge truth.  Because God, who is full of truth will stand the test and everything else will not.

Christmas Eve Eve

Today is Christmas Eve Eve.  I worked almost all day.  I'm very thankful for the hours and I didn't have other plans so I didn't mind being there. One of my managers kept asking me if I was in a bad mood though.  I think 3 times she asked me this today between the two shifts that I worked.  At first I just thought I wasn't really paying attention to my facial expressions since I was busy and tired (I tend to look mad when I'm not paying attention and tired). Then I started thinking about it more and I realized that maybe there was something wrong deep down and I hadn't even noticed it. There has been quite a bit on my mind for the past few months and especially this past week or so- I had noticed that- but I didn't know it had gotten to me so much.  I am thankful though because it gives me an opportunity to give the burden to the Lord.  This whole thing has made me think that even though there is noticeably something on my heart the fact that Christmas i...

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...

Wounded with Love

" You have wounded me with your love and I'll never be the same again I try to run, I try to hide but my heart burns it burns with your fire set a fire down in my soul that I can't contain and I can't control I want more of you God   I love you Lord I don't care what it looks like " This wound is one that I love.  This wound draws me back to you time and time again.  I try to walk away but my heart has been awakened to love and now I can't turn away.  This hurt keeps me yearning for more of the love that changed me forever.  This seal that has been stamped on my heart will forever brand me Yours. At first it didn't make sense to me.  At first I didn't understand how a wound would ever be good, but then you showed me that you had to wound me for my heart to be replaced with yours.  At first I wanted to run and I tried to, but you wouldn't let me get away from something so wonderful.  You don't force me to stay- but the impact ...
