I think the easiest way to make a decision about what to post, or say, or do, is to think of someone who you respect and you have to earn respect from. Not a family member, not a friend, and not your crush. Those are people you want to please. Pick someone who doesn’t have to love you and doesn’t have to respect you. Pick someone who could look down on you if they wanted to but doesn’t. When you’ve thought of that person, think about how they would react to your decision. Decide if their opinion matters. Not because you’re living to please them but because you respect them. Disappointment is a huge thing. Use it to your advantage. You may just end up making the right choices.

Permanency. that’s something I’ve been thinking about lately. Particularly the verse, “it withers and it’s place remembers it no more.” THAT is the human life. So all that drama and crap you put up with has no point. There is no use to the worrying. That’s why you should turn your life to God. Maybe your name won’t be remembered after a while but your legacy will. Do everything in love. Love endures. Love will last. Your mark on this world won’t be grades or talent or even the amount of people you bring to Christ. Maybe you’ll be that one rare person who gets their name into a textbook but frankly no one’s really going to care about that. You’ll be dead, gone, and forgotten. But when you do something in love, that act will survive. It’s legacy will live on. I don’t remember the name of the missionary that first traveled to India from England but I”m sure glad he did. That’ what it’s really about in the end right? Not necessarily being known, but having what you’ve done be worthwhile to the kingdom. To be the two mile person in a one mile world. The thing is, god can use you, and if you do it with love, He can use you even more.
This is an answer to every mean anon I’ve ever seen. I find it absolutely DISGUSTING what some anons will do on tumblr. Like I can see asking a question here or there and just trying to be funny. But when you’re legit getting creeperish about a guy, when you’re saying that someone you don’t know isn’t good enough for him, and telling people to go jump off a bridge and kill themselves that’s seriously messed up. Most people will tell me to just ignore the anons and I will because it’s really not worth my time (pearls before swine #stayclassy) but I don’t think it’s fair to the people who get them. You really don’t know where a person is in their life. You have no right to tell them to go kill themselves. it’s not funny. it’s not a joke. you might just push them over the edge. it’s not fair. remember that your words have power.
