"I was wrong, you were right"

Thought I'd change the design for summer :) Hope you like it :)

I am a very competitive person. I hate admitting that I'm wrong and I always end up in discussions. And I think all humans have a competitive and stubborn side, some more than others though. We just want to always be right because we think that is what people admire us for. But that is wrong! Humility and the ability to admit our wrongs is just so important and much more admirable. People admire people that stand their ground, and it is important to stand your ground, but when people know they are wrong and still don't back down that actually isn't admirable at all. I really have to practice saying: "You were right, I was wrong". 

I used to think that if I admitted I was wrong or didn't win every discussion it was a weakness. But sometimes being strong is not always winning, but accepting that we loose sometimes. 

Sometimes I end up in situations where I even feel like I'm right, but then it is still important to respect other people's opinions and just drop it. Don't nag on. 

I have met people and even been in churches with the "I-am-NEVER-wrong-attitude". And it is not a church that is nice to go to, or not people it is fun to hang out with. That's how I realized I do the same thing, and I want to work with being a bit more humble.

When we are christian it is important that we remember that the way we behave is sooo important. We should shine God's love through us. Even though nobody's perfect and we all make mistakes, but we at least should try. Because to unchristian people our actions represent our religion. We don't want christians to be known as arrogant people that never back down on things.

So be humble as best as you can! Let's all make an effort to be extra nice. It is a strength, not a weakness. Ask god for help and we can all help change some people's negative view on christians.

Proverbs 11:2

The Message

  The stuck-up fall flat on their faces,
   but down-to-earth people stand firm.

YOU ARE PRECIOUS! :)

Change

long time no see. sorry :(

So, change, it's a scary thing :( It can be good, but sometimes it unexpected creeps up on us. Personally there has been so much change in my life. I feel like I have lost so many things that was important to me :( ever felt that way? It really sucks! I'm finished at my safe little christian school, and next year I'm starting a new scary school. I feel my future is unknown and things are never gonna be the same. I really feel like crying. I miss my friends and my school.

So maybe you are also in a situation in life where things are changing? Maybe your parents are getting divorced, siblings moving out, new school, moving, lost friends or anything else. Things may be changing suddenly or gradually, expected or unexpected. The worst part is we can't control it. Maybe you have that same lump in your stomach as you think: "things are never going to be the same". And maybe you also feel a little scared?

But we need to remember that God has control. He is always the same, he doesn't just suddenly change. He is always with us! We don't need to be scared, we can trust him :) Sometimes people just change, but we can always rely on God! Have you ever experienced that one of you friends just isn't the same anymore? or let you down? I can promise that will never happen in you relationship with God :) In the bible is says that God is our rock.

Psalm 18:2

  The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
   my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
   my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Other than that I just wanted to say stay positive! Maybe things are changing for the better? You need to let go of the past, but you don't need to let go of all the good memories :) Take all the good things you've learned and experienced with you. And TRUST GOD!

Proverbs 15:13

 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, 

   but heartache crushes the spirit.

YOU ARE PRECIOUS!
