11/08/12 - Another One of Those Days

It always always seems to come to this for me. Ive recently been really bad at blogging and stuff. 

So yet again its one of those bleugghhh days for me. It starts out fine and is all good but it only takes one thing and a lot of hormones to seriously turn things bad. For me today was the first day back to netball which was really good but the thing that really flipped me today was getting my phone restored. I am basically permenately stuck with my phone. In fact whenever im without its like i have no idea what to do. I dont even have to use it. its just the fact i cant look at it or just turn it on for no reason. In fact today has basically been the longest time since year 5 i think i havent used a phone. 

So lets just say from there it really has been down hill for me and today is that accumulation of everything and the snap. Something really really personal to me is my relationship with God. Its one of those things that i really really treasure and really depend on and its really funny how (again phases) you go through all these different phases where you're really close and then you seem to drift off. I love to blame everything on everythign but myself so for me its the Olympics. Its been one of those things where i go to bed late and i go hmmm.. its alright one day.. one day without reading the bible, one day without praying, it wont do much harm. but its the accumilation of all this. Gradually over time, that one day turns to two and soon you realise its 10 days. And that ten days really does make a difference.

In ways thats the most amazing thing about Christianity, knowing that once youve gone away adn once you've screwed up, there is still hope and that God is still there for you even if you are the most hopeless person on earth. That is something that will never change and really really is amaizng. i think one verse that best summarises that is

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8

 When you think about it, that verse really sums up for me how really amazing God is. Like im sure none of us would think about dying for someone that sucks heaps, we would at least need to see some hope in them or somethign worth dying for, after all it is our life and thats like the end of the earthly part. Yet Jesus dies for those hopeless people, the ones that have no future whatsoever. I think thats really inspiring and something that is really worth living for. It's really interesting to see all those things that distract us from this and really take priority over something that means true life and true living. I'll never be perfect or close to it but knowing that through Christ I have hope, it is an amazing thing.
