Why Wait?

No note? Well this time it’s a little different all these things do pertain to me but, I also want to make clear I am talking to anyone who will listen, Paul Christian, to Sual Satanist

I realize that this is my third blog in a span of 24 hours; (you) may be wondering what I do all day and/or, why I am such a freak. Well all I can say is, “why wait”? I have had a lot of experiences since my walk started, ergo a lot of catching up to do. I don’t want to forget any of these thoughts and while I am writing them down why not make them available to others, maybe even help someone else’s walk (if I would be that blessed). Another thing is what is more important then working on your relationship with Him? Do you think you will be able to bring the money you make to heaven, or maybe you can take that sweet car that you whip ( note I am not saying that it’s bad to make money or have a nice car, and even if I was, who am I to judge)? So what do I do all day, well today school, then lacrosse conditioning, but to be blunt I am making an effort to care less if you thought I did nothing but sit at the computer all day, as I said …you only need to live for Him, no one else's opinion matter… And lastly am I a freak, well I can only pray that I am a Jesus freak, I am working on it.

Before I go on to the next thing on my mind I want to make it clear that, the first paragraph did not come from a malicious place, but was intended to be fun, and jovial. I try to follow, Ephesians 4:29-“Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them”. That’s one of my favorite verses. I like that verse so much because, you will be amazed, what some kind words could do for someone. I challenge you to test this theory out.

Now finally: small things such as encouraging an acquaint or two, can change someone’s whole life. Including you own, here are some small day to day changes I made that really improved my way of living: listening to less foul music, in addition to watching cleaner shows, reading my bible at night instead of surfing the web, and most importantly having quiet time with the Lord. Quiet time is time you set aside from you busy life to just talk to God,…Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done -Philippians 4:6-
I am not saying if you stop watching shows were the underline theme is sex, then you will no longer lust, I am just saying that it helps. When I first heard this concept I was a little skeptical myself, these things are everywhere, it doesn’t even matter anymore. Then I thought, why make an ignorant decision, might as well try it what’s a week of my life with out some trashy TV and foul music? At first it might be hard to keep these habits in mind, but just like any other habit over time it comes natural and instinctive.
This blog had a lot of messages, some of them not the clearest (mid write someone gave me some real big news), but I still want to emphases, the message I hold dearest; why wait to get closer to God? He didn’t wait one second to hold his hand out for you. Before you were even born he gave His one and only son to die on the cross just for you. So He and yourself may have that personal relationship. Yes, its true God will never give up on you, till the day you die He will be there pulling you towards Him, but when are you going to die? 75 years 10 years before you go to bed tonight? I know non-believers have a problem with nearly everything I am saying, and I can not force you to be filled with the holly sprit. No one can strengthen another’s walk, you can only (with the help of God) give him/her the tools they need, they have to build their own relationship so I just ask that you do not make the biggest decision of you life ignorantly, look in to it, and try to fill yourself. I promise you if you truly try to listen you will hear Him.
