quiet hands

That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you -1 Thessalonians 4:11


This was the verse i read this morning at my school. It's really a blessing to have that; a lot of times i take it for granted or it even seems like a burden, but i really gotta put it in perspective. My chem teacher from sophomore year opens the door for me everyday, he's a devout christian, and its just great to have a room for prayer. So i read that part of the passage about pride. Even though the new years already passed, i can still be in semi-reflection mood. I know one of the biggest character flaws when i was younger was pride. It still is an issue, but now that i look back i realize God has really helped and shaped me into what he has planned.

The way you do your actions is just as important as the actions themselves. I was talking to my friend who goes to church every week and teaches little kids bible stories, but hates life. He takes anti-depression pills and just is constantly questioning life. To an outsider at his church, they'll probably see a fake smile and a big cross and just pass by without thinking he's going through certain problems. And at the same time, there's kids that are learning the bible from him. He's doing all the right things, and saying the right words, yet his heart is stone.

lol it was awkward when i asked him if he wanted to go to church with me because he acutally goes every sunday. But im hoping whoever reads this, you can pray for him. Hopefully God can shed some light onto him.
