Why do you dress like that?

Now before I begin, I just wanted to that the reason why I haven't posted anything for a while is because I've had the flu for the past 2 weeks. But I'm feeling better now.

Ok, as you probably saw in the title of the post, I'm talking about how teenagers, and people who think they're teenagers, dress in immoral ways. I have seen it everywhere. The mall (of course), the store, the beach, schools (my Christian school included), even my own church. Mainly in the summer. Now before anyone has cow I'm talking about both girls and guys. God wants us all to dress modestly in a way that does not cause immoral thoughts. In fact, 1Timothy 2:8-10 says:

I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

Ok ok, I know, He said women should dress appropriately, but it's kinda hard to lift your hands up in holy prayer if your pants fall down at the same time! Now guys and girls think nothing of dressing in the way I'm talking about. You know it. But you guys and girls should think about it. For not only Christians, but all teens that want to resist temptation it gets really hard when (for girls) a guy dresses in baggy pants that show their underwear, or (for guys) a girl dresses in a mini skirt and a shirt showing her mid drift(for illiterate people, it means their stomach). It produces "thoughts" when a girl or a guy sees those things. Dressing in a way that causes those "thoughts" is clearly not one of the good deeds God was speaking of.

Ok, now I understand that some people want to put those "thoughts" in the other person's head. But did you ever think that they might not want those "thoughts" in their head? My judge from how people dress, is a big fat NO!!! I for one am one of those people, and I know a lot of others who are too.
For people who do dress to impress others, and to impress themselves, I have to say that those are pointless reasons to dress that way. Why? Because there is already a God who will always love you. No matter how you dress or what you do. If you do something shameful and wrong I promise, and so does He, that He will forgive you for whatever you did. If you have a different religion, or no religion at all, I want to say that you probably have friends, parents, siblings, a husband, a wife, children, family of some sort, someone that cares about you in this world and doesn't care about how you look or care about what you do and will always care about you. So then, I leave you with this question:

Why do you dress like that if someone
already loves you and doesn't care?

My life.

Hey everyone. I've been talking about advice and treating others right, but now I'm going to talk a little about my self. I really am the age I say I am. Also I am very happy this week because because like every other person in the world who's below 30 is on Spring Break!!!!! One of the best times of the year. For me it's going to end with a trip to the swap meet to find a few new swords to ad to my growing collection. But let me warn you that just because it's fun to swing them around, doesn't mean it's safe. I learned that lesson the hard way, and are reminded of it when ever I look in the mirror at the scar on my face. Don't ask what happened.
But yeah, I digress. What I really want to talk about is something I learned a little while ago. I was the kind of person who would stress and worry about a lot of crap. And I mean this was real "not suppose to worry about" crap. I would worry about school and getting the best grades possible, about how much money my family had, and mainly on my snake not having had anything to eat for 5 months. But then one day I was playing video games and realized I didn't have a care in the world except to blow the head off the other guy in Call of Duty 4. It was at that moment I told myself, "I need to feel this way more often." (And no not blow off the other guy's head more often)
So, I did. I started to relax more often and give up more to my higher power. For me it's God. When I did this I started to feel better than I had just about my entire life. Soon I started relaxing more often to just listen to music, play video games, reading my Bible, or hangin with my friends. Eventually things started to take care of themselves. Now my snake is eating again and I'm doing better in school than I was before. But, don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean you should just laze about and let everything take care of itself. Life doesn't work that way. I do still need to do the work, only now I just don't stress about it.

Stress is something that can make you sick if you do it to much. I learned that the hard way as well because of constant head aches I had and kept from my family. My point is that you shouldn't stress so much about life. otherwise you can't enjoy it. So, find a way to relax and do it, A LOT!!!!! It will help.

Do you have a goal?

Goals are some of the most important things in this world. They could be to lose weight, work harder and better at a job, do better in school, the list goes on. But all the goals I hear usually have one thing in common. They all, in the end, only help the people who make them. Whether it's to earn more money, look better, get ________ (replace space with desired item), there's a lot. What I don't hear, and want to hear; are goals for others.
Right now I want you to think. Think about all the goals that you have ever made for others. If you reach 10 you can shut me up in a comment. But I can honestly say that I, disappointedly, did not reach 10.
I don't know about everyone else, but I feel really down about those numbers. So, that's why I decided to put it in my blog. To spread it to others so we can try and change it.

So I leave you with this question. "What is your next goal going to be?" I know what mine will be.

Thank you for reading.

What do you trust in?

To my fellow Christians I want you to remember that we are not to trust ANYTHING in this world.

In James 4:4-5 the Bible says, "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? That is why the Scripture says: 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

If you do not understand this, I'll break it down. Friend ship back then meant more than it does now. It meant having great trust in. Meaning being a friend of the world means that you trust it. But trusting in the world means trusting in not only things, but the people in it as well. Friends, family, if you have them children, everyone and everything. Because they can, and will leave you. The world will leave you. Things will rot and rust, people will wither and die, the world is full of idols that will take away your focus and then leave and hurt you.
When the Spirit envies it envies the world. Why? Because we are putting our trust into the world and God want to take the world's place. He wants us to trust in him.

Do you guys see what God's asking? He wants us to trust Him more than our friends, our parents, our siblings, our own children, all the people in the world. (But don't get me wrong, we should still care for each other and help each other as well. I'll explain why in a minute.) I understand how that could be hard. So does God. He understands this. That's why he sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, our mistakes.

Now everyone even though we can't trust in the world or the people in it, we should still be kind to it, and to others. God might not want us to trust it, but He does want us to treat it as ourselves. Just be careful about how much, and how you do it.

Thank you for reading.

Why can't we be like that?

I don't know how many of you live in California or even in America, but this story deals with everyone.

In Los Angeles California a 70 year old woman, who is also a retired teacher, felt that she had to do something. There are many homeless in LA, but also in the world. Many are single parents with children who have no education. She saw this, and decided to change it. So, she opened a tutoring house that, with the help of kind volunteers, teaches the children who cannot go to school. Since then, they have branched out and now have 500 volunteers teaching children.

Think about that. A frail 70 year old woman did an act of kindness and made a HUGE difference in hundreds of children's lives. And yet, those of us who are young, barely act the same way, or do the same acts of kindness. In fact, the word "Kindness" has obtained a whole different meaning. True kindness in that act of doing something good for someone else without expecting anything in return, the act of doing it without having to do it.
"If a frail 70 year old woman can do an act of kindness, why can't the rest of us?"
That is my question to all of you, and to myself. I for one, am going to start to act out of kindness.
What about you?
Thanx for reading my blog.
See ya.

If you have questions???

If you guys have questions that you want answered, either about Christianity, other religions, or life in general say something. I'll be glad to answer it in the best way that I can.
Right now it's 2:00am, so I'm hittin the sack. See ya.
