feeling better....

ok so I'm not as frustrated anymore...was able to vent to the hubby. I'm sure he enjoyed my rant, but I needed to let it out. It's never good to let ANYTHING fester inside you, then you end up blowing up at people which makes everything worse---I guess that's why I'm "opinionated" because I don't like let my emotions fester--take me or leave me--it's who I am...ok that was a mini rant...moving on....

I'm not sure who reads this and who doesn't...so hopefully I don't tick anyone off. But my brother-in-law is the one who is making me crazy. I guess lately a lot of Christians are making me crazy. I'm not sure what has gotten into people. They think that they are invincible and nothing can happen to them and if they believe in God that's good enough and they'll get to Heaven, never mind how they act...at least they proclaim it right?! Sigh...I am reminded of a Toby Mac song--song is a bit outdated and lame sounding, but the message is relevant---"I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul". I find that so true, it's like so many people are like well I like doing this and I'll keep doing it because God will forgive and blah blah blah. Anyway...I'm not sure how you could be a Christian and have faith in God and then want to be with or marry someone who has a completely different faith. They don't even believe Jesus is the Son of God kind of faith! I'm just not sure you could choose a HUMAN over GOD. I just can't grasp it...and maybe I'm alone on that feeling...I guess if it's not important to you then you wouldn't think it's a big deal (i.e. all his friends) but to me it is and when you think future, marriage, children--things just get more complicated. Marriage and family are hard enough, add the fact that you want to raise your children 2 completely different ways--don't celebrate Holidays' (not even Easter!) and have a different view on who Jesus is (Michael the Archangel anyone??) I just think that would make for a harder way of doing things..my opinion of course, but I think a valid one. You think someones faith is important to them, then you realize they don't have time for it or don't care and pick a person over it...which I gently pointed out....which the response was "I'm not losing my faith because I want to be with her"...you aren't?! I think if you have faith in God, wouldn't you have faith that he would give you someone that not only believes the same thing you do, but encourages you, lifts you up, opens your eyes to how wonderful he is and makes you grow into a better Christian, and man?? Not pray and pray that this girl will see the light so it makes it ok to be with her while you are struggling yourself?

Sigh...my vent, my frustration...I could care too much, but I'd rather care too much then not care at all.
