Sometimes, being a Christian girl isn't so easy, we run across problems frequently. Some a bit on the shallow side... some serious. Here is the start of a list of about bajazillion random Christian girl problems I've run into in my life.
NOTE: I do not mean to offend anybody by the following. All problems, or random situations in general, are based off of either life experiences of my own, or ones I have witnessed, though humorous they may be.
So, without further ado...
1. Getting the "gag-order" in sunday school for answering too many of the questions.
2. Using "I'm dating Jesus" as an excuse for being single.
(Not that I need an excuse to be single...) *COUGH*
3. It doesn't seem statistically possible, but all the good Christian boys are taken, and all the good Christian girls are single.
4. Gossip prayer requests...
5. Getting used to the term "baby ears".
6. Choosing between Relient k at Rock the Universe, or Tenth Avenue North at Night of Joy... Why must they be the same weekend!!??
7. There is no "Courting" option under facebook relationship statuses. We should start a petition...
8. Nobody understands your crush on Martin Luther.
9. Finding modest enough undershirts.
10. Beverly Lewis novels aren't coming out fast enough.
11. The Love Comes Softly movies should be burned at the stake for being so completely unlike the books.
12. Having nightmares after reading the Left Behind series.
13. Preparing for the end of the world after reading the Left Behind series.
14. The realization that you can't marry any of the characters from Narnia.
15. Being disappointed when your closet doesn't take you to Narnia.
15.5. Finding out Narnia isn't real...
16. Having to have a third wheel (a.k.a. chaperone) on all of your "dates".
17. BEING the third wheel on somebody else's date.
18. Not wearing make-up until you're fifteen... maybe sixteen.
19. Your friends parents telling them that they should be more like you.
20. Definition of partying = staying up all night with friends.... playing scrabble.
21. Not being allowed to watch Harry Potter, or read the books.
22. Not being allowed to associate with Twilight anything.... Who am I kidding?? That's not a problem!!!
23. Checking movies on Plugged in before watching them.
24. People see your purity ring and ask if your engaged.
25. Holding in the laughter during the chapter on evolution...
Whooopss!! It's getting mighty late... kinda, and I think my brain needs a nap! So stay tuned for the 76 to follow!
Feel free to share the randomness and give suggestions for more posts!! (Believe it or not my brain doesn't constantly poop ideas!)

My words are poop.
Do you ever feel like poop? I know I do. Unlike most people, I don't feel like poop when others are mean to me. Usually I'm just like "Wow, you have impressed me with your mean abilities, you are completely right..." (Or not.) okay, more like "Um, yeah. Your meanness I don't care about."
Now if what they said while being mean was true or something.... then yeah, it'd be a bit different.
Mostly when I feel like poop it is because I have hurt somebody I love. I don't just mean the kind of things we'll get over in five minutes. But the one's that might not even be gotten over. Luckily, I have not hurt too many of my friends. (that I know of) And most friendships that have been damaged have been repaired. MOST. That's when I feel like poop, when I can't fix what I had to go and break in the first place.
When I get angry, or ooberly frustrated, my mouth (or fingers) start sending messages that my brain hasn't approved of yet. These messages are usually things that I know for a fact will cut hard at the other person. It's a talent that nobody should have, yet so many do. It's disgusting.
The worst part is, when the other person just stops. Stops arguing back, stops fighting, stops talking, everything stops. I have been so terrible that they give up. There is a twitch of satisfaction, but that is before the realization sets in. I have killed my friend.
The poopiest of poops is when they won't even hear me apologize. When I have hurt them so much they won't even look at, or accept my apology.
That saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." was said by the biggest chronic liar in the world. (That, or they were deaf.)
Words hurt. They hurt more than guns, or whips, or the gnashing of teeth, words start wars, words kill millions, words can do more harm with one flick of the tongue than an atomic bomb. At least with a bomb *boom* you're dead, but with words you have to live,-suffer through the pain, and even after apologies remove that knife there will always, ALWAYS be a scar.
James, he was a pretty cool guy. He wrote a really cool book and in it he addresses words and stuff... You should read it sometime. But in it he says
"but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison." (James 3:8 ESV)
He goes on to say:
"With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so." (James 3:9-10 ESV)
I do not use this for an excuse, "It's untamable, so it's not my fault..."
Guys, the tongue may be untamable, but we are not! We control our own bodies, and when we know we'll end up saying or doing something stupid if we're put in a certain situation (wait for it....) DON'T PUT YOURSELF IN THAT SITUATION!!! At least 90% of arguments don't need to have been had. Things I say all the time I wish I could take back, but I cannot. And just like the people I hurt with my villianous ability to blindly blurt stupidly mean things must live being hurt by what I have said to them, I have to live knowing that no matter how sorry I am I can never unsay a thing once said.
Let us all hold each other accountable for potty training our mouths.
That is all I have fore today, thank you.
