Hey : D

I was just wondering what you would say to someone that thinks that church is just all brainwashing.  After thinking about it for a bit, I see why they would think that, since there are many unanswered things about Christianity such as "Why doesn't God just smite satan" or something else that i don't remember at the moment.

It's been a while since I last posted something (Which wasn't an actual post) Hahahaha This week, I've been meditating on the following verses:

"But blessed is the man who trsts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him." - Jeremiah 17:7

"Trust in the Lord with all Your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight." - Proverbs 3:6-5

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD'S purpose that prevails." - Proverbs 19:21 (Coincidentally, Tim Lee emailed us this verse as well)

"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:13

These verses really helped me get through the week 'cause this week was a tough one (For me). Tests in general, literacy test, projects and next week they're distributing report cards... I guess I'm slowly getting more and more frustrated with myself. Though I keep reminding myself of these verses, I don't know, in the end, I still get frustrated.

I remember during English class today, I was getting super frustrated at the marks I was getting because for English, I usually get high marks but after getting back my work and seeing my final mark for this term, I guess I was really upset?

When I got home to turn on my lap top, I double clicked on my Google Chrome and to my surprise, the first thing I did was not watching anime, but I went on biblegateway.com instead. I didn't know why, but for some reason, I was reminded of Psalm 43:5, "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so distrubed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God" After remembering about that, I felt at ease(?) / peace(?).

Somethings are just really (Super duperly) frustrating, and never ends up the way we want it to be, but I guess we just have to remind ourselves that God's way is the best, and to just trust God with whatever.
