Fearless

So... I'm gussing you'are all wondering why I changed the blog title to 'Living Fearlessly'? Well... It's going to be explained in THIS blog! (:

So first off... CHIRSTMAS IS COMING! What do you guys want for Christmas?! I want to meet the Jonas Brothers... Taylor Swift, and get a few auditions! :P BUT... I main;y want my grandpa to be okay. He is pretty accellerated with bone cancer, and depending on how the report goes on Wednesday... he may or may not recieve treatment. I know... WORST CHRISTMAS EVER! BUT. I think I'm living fearlessly now. I'm starting to go through the ups and the downs of life, and I'm accepting the fact that there is such thing as life... and death.

I'm going to tell you now.. this isn't a post to convert you to Chirstianity... it's simply how I'm TRYING to help you guys get over something horrible, like death.

So I'm going to start off with a Bible passage... It is taken from the book of Ecclesiates 3: 1-8...

A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Bascially... this passage tells me what we are going through now... happens for a reason. We know we have to face death sooner or later. This bible passage... I first read in... Grade 8. It was found in the Dawn Rochelle series written by my ALL TIME favorite writer... Lurlene McDaniel. She is someone I look up to, and I've read nearly every single one of her books. It's pretty easy to decipher.. I'll try it! Haha! Sorry if it like... makes no sense...

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot

verse 2 means we face birth... and death. New and old clash at some point. 'a time to plant and a time to uproot' is a metaphor for life and death. Plants, much like humans, are fragile. So, we sprout... we can't live forever. We get uproot... to make room for other plants.

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

means something can attack us... killing us on the inside, but we'll all recover... never fully... but just enough that we won't forget them... but we can still carry on with life. Tearing down is basically... moving on, in order to make room for something else. You can't hold onto something forever... you have to let go.

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

mourn is like... crying in a sense... and when you go to dances.. you usually have a blast! Which causes... SMILES! So we ALL go through up and down days.

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,


God will give us hard obstacles. Scatter stones, is basically your heart being broken from a boyfriend... death... you lost a friend... whatever it may be. But we embrace it, and we move on, evne if it might repeat again. But we MUST stay strong, and keep smiling through hard times

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

this one... is kinda harder to understand.... BUT I think it means that we are always looking for the 'one'. But we have to just give up. You WILL find that special someone sooner or later in life, but you can't keep holding on to a guy who... isn't there anymore, you need to forget them

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

Hmmm... I guess it's saying something .. I don't really know... but the silent part is you STANDING UP. Don't let people step on you. YOU must stand up for something YOU believe in!

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

That speaks for itself.

SO. What I've learnt over the years... the beginning starts with child birth... well YOU being born. But... is there really an end? I don't think so. I believe in eternal life... with God. Basically... EVERYDAY, we are adding to this book of ours... this special book we all have no matter what. Simply saying... we DO have an ending... BUT it's also a NEW book... tHe new bok starts with your death. Continuing on YOUR journey of life. We don't just stop after death... but we continue on... with God. With the desicion we make to... follow after death ; With God... or with Satan... It's YOUR choice, not mine or your best friends desicion to help you make.

SO... I hope you guys... understand a bit more about life and death. Live your life Fearlessly... and DO NOT get knocked over! Fearless is what YOU think it is! Fearless to me is living each day... happy and accepting, open minded. SO I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I hope you email me with questions, and comments! Thanks (:
