I know I keep using the excuse “I’ve got no inspiration” for the lack of posts on my blog. It’s sad, really; hardly a good excuse. Why? It’s simple: because inspiration should not have to come beforehand. Sometimes, you’ve just got to write. It can be anything; but the point is, it will grow from that point on.
Fall semester is coming to an end (praise Jesus!), although I wish it would end sooner. One of my classes is officially done, though. So now, I have only so much to worry about. However, I’m ready to move on. I grow tired of all the subjects I have been studying. That’s why it is so nice that we only get a semester’s worth of them. If it was the whole year…um…yeah, let’s not even think about that. Haha!
Christmas is coming! Alright, I know that was quite a turn from my last statement; but who cares! I’m in utter happiness over the holidays! My house is decorated now, and I’ve had some delicious hot cocoa with gingerbread men marshmallows floating on top of it! I have been listening to all sorts of Christmas music (and it shall continue now at school). I’ve gotten some holiday shopping done, and now, I am anxiously awaiting for the snow to fall. We have only had a couple of flurries so far, which left no snow visible on the ground. Yes, traveling will be a hassle with that great white blanket overcoming us; but that’s what makes the holidays extra special!
Okay, now that I am officially done geeking out about my childhood fantasies (teehee), let us move on to other subjects. Particularly, I would like to mention a discussion I had two days ago with a friend and her family. We had come back from their church, and went out to eat lunch. While waiting for our food, we talked about different translations of the Bible (or even different Bibles in general). It is a topic I have thought over multiple times this year; and it’s one that I believe is worth looking over. Lately, there have been questions in my mind as to the validity of the Bible. However, that discussion that took place really made me want to go in search of all sorts of Bibles, and examine and read them for myself. I can already imagine the looks or the comments I would get from a lot of people if I directly told them such an idea. They would probably think I am straying away from truth; but what is truth? How do we really know until we fully examine all the options out there? Perhaps, there are details we are missing because we’re too afraid to step out and see what is really out there. We shouldn’t have to fear the world. I don’t believe God would have wanted that. I mean…we live in the world. If we cower in our little shelters we’ve built, we’ll get nowhere.
Anyways…that is just some thoughts to contemplate on. Ha! It’s rather ironic at how I go all ‘what is truth and the bible and blah blah blah’ right after mentioning my excitement over Christmas. Hopefully that does not clash too much. I still believe in Jesus. I still believe there are great things to be gained from Christianity. I’m just saying that we should not be afraid to find out what it is we are really believing and setting our sights on. Until another blog is posted, I wish you a happy week!
