I forget that people read my blog.
I hope I don't offend you.
Most the time I end up ranting about something, usually it's a rant to myself. and maybe say things in a more emotive way than I really mean them. I usually only write when I manage to over think things too much!
I actually LOVE hearing all about what my friends are doing, and the bad things that happen in the lives of people I don't really like. I love a good bit of juicy gossip. I enjoy a dodgy joke. I enjoy coffee and love chocolate whether it's fair trade or not. Me and Chocolate have a love affair, baby. I enjoy shopping for new clothes, I love not thinking about where my Nike's were made or if they were slave labour. I like eating chicken salads.
I try to only eat fair trade chocolate, I've cut meat back out of my life, as I can't stand the thought of eating battery farmed chooks, I try lately to shop at op-shops rather than buy new clothes, I'm trying to cut back on my dodgy jokes, and all the negative things I say about people. They're all my personal battles, and I'm not meaning to criticise any of you, or saying that I don't enjoy my times with all of you where these things happen. I really do.
I don't expect anyone to live life the way I do. These are my personal convictions, and I try to live by them, and I'm sure you all try to live by what you believe and are convicted by.
I find it hard or not really satisfying to just read my bible, some people can do it for hours, I can't. I have to find some way to apply it to my life, the random stuff I think about, how I live etc. So these sermons are for myself. A reminder of where I've been, what I've thought, What goals I've had and kept, or abandoned over time.
I probably should write it all in a journal more often. But I'm too lazy to handwrite things these days. How sad is that. Maybe I should add that to my list of qualities about myself I would like to change...
hey mate!
ReplyDeletei fully emphatize with you especially about reading the bible and about living our own sermons.
I hope your journey is blessed though!
I too have tried to keep a journal, but i dont think 10 pages in 3 years can count for one, hope u have better luck.
