bio makes me sick.. ><

o man that is one witty title! cuz i was sick today AND i did bio! daang.. lol

k ANYWAYS.. it has come to my attention that i have not sufficiently explained my title 'be:different' essentially being different is all about deciding to follow what God commands instead of following what the media tells us to do. it's about sacrificing earthly treasures and instead looking to eternal treasures in heaven. and i think this involves sacrificing more than just materials. it also involves devoting ur time and energy to God and allowing Him to control ur life. this is quite possibly one of the hardest parts of living a Christ-like life. it takes huge amounts of faith and courage to truly be different. a great example of this is when Jesus first called disciples to follow Him, without hesitation they left all that they had and followed Jesus. they left not only their belongings but also their friends, their families, their lives. they placed Jesus above all else in their lives and i think that everyone can learn a lesson from these first disciples.

lately, i've been struggling with this idea of putting God above everything else in my life, and i can honestly say that God is not first in my life right now. i can't even grasp the idea of leaving my comfortable lifestyle and all my friends, leaving it all to follow God. and sometimes that gives me a pretty crappy feeling, like ppl DO dissapoint and God doesn't yet i still put ppl in my life ahead of God. i forgot where i read this, but like some1 said how we should get the same feeling from spending time with God as we do when we spend time with some1 we're in love with. and how we should be like infatuated with God, and just look forward to every moment we spend with Him. ya, THAT is pretty intense.. so ya.. sumthin to think about?

um.. for devoes lately i've been reading the book of Mark. and a lot of wut i'm reading is like stories that i've learned and discussed about every since i was a kid. and it's just cool how i can still get stuff out of these stories even though i'm like reading about it for the w/eth time. so yes.. read ur bibles kids! lol i can say that cuz i'm in gr 12..

so that concludes yet another quality post, until next time..
