(the historical stuff, not the biblical) anyway, whenever i have questions in life i tend to get frustrated and search around for answers and ask other people instead of looking to my God and relying on Him to provide the answers i need. i have to stop taking chances and go straight to God. He is the ONLY one with the correct and trustworthy answer. sorry this kind of doesnt go with the blog, but its what i got from it :) its neat because we have recently covered some of this same information at school.

Thank you Dr. Barnett! Anyway, I absolutely loved this comparison. I have been away from my parents for three months now, and I'm hoping it gets easier on down the road, because I've realized how much I just wanted to please my mother and father growing up. I started to even think like them. Now I feel like I'm discovering my own brain so to speak, and it's scary to see what I "wink" at. I find myself in a conversation with someone who knows exactly who they are (in other words, very strongly opinionated), and I find myself agreeing with them or compromising my beliefs so I don't offend anyone even though I know my boundaries and feelings on the subject. New make-out buddy every week? That's not that bad. We are in college. It's ok to have a little fun. Your parents are idiots? Yeah, I guess I see where you are coming from. It's ok to call them names when you are angry, as long as you still love them. I feel like next a friend will tell me they are dating an atheist and I will say "That's great! Maybe you will convert them!" I just need to pray and find what's right for me, not for the sake of arguing with them, but I just want to know where I stand.
