50 questions that will free your mind (questions and answers) -question five

Question five-

What is the one thing, you would like to change about the world?

I would like to change belief. I would like to see all knees bowed, and tongues confessing that Jesus is Lord. Pain and suffering, I assume, would be no more. Jesus, is and always will be the answer to life. His coming will change the world. 

50 questions that will free your mind (questions and answers) -question four

Question four-

When all is said and done, will you have said more than you've done?

I would like to say no, but my answer is yes. I don't do even half of what I say I want to do/should do.
I want to be a better person, have a closer relationship with Jesus, have a closer relationship with my husband (and dare I say it, a better sex life), I want to get healthy and loose weight, I want to be a good influence on people, I want to be more organised.
I could list more, but we would be here for a long time. My point is that I don't want to die yet, even though I have heaven to look forward to, because I want to be more than I am now. If only I actually had the motivation!


50 questions that will free your mind (questions and answers) -question three

Question three-

If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don't like, and like so many things that we don't do?

Jeepers! This one took a while for me to get my head around. I am also rather tired, so my answer could come out interesting...

I believe that we do things that we don't like, because we have to (I suppose), and we are left with  so many things that we want to do, but we don't have the nerve, or time. We find ourselves more comfortable being told what to do e.g. "Go to work, and earn money". Even though most of us hate going to work, we still go. Rules can take over, and replace our ambitions. It is complicated. 


50 questions that will free your mind (questions and answers) -question two

Question two-

Which is worse, failing or never trying? 
 
Never trying is worse than failing, of course! No matter how hard life gets, I disappoint myself when I don't try hard enough, or not at all. We can't give up on things that we are clearly meant to do. God places oportunities and obstacles in our life, that we really shouldn't ignore. The hard truth is, we are sometimes meant to fail, so that we can learn, and grow. I believe it can be quite a good thing to fail. A baby might be scared to take their first steps , but they manage sooner or later, because they try. 
I hope that makes sence. 

50 questions that will free your mind (questions and answers) -question one

I was just having a think about how much I like a good D&M, so I decided to look it up on google. I found a website, with a post title "50 questions that will free your mind". I found these questions quite interesting to decipher, but I like that kind of thing, so I am going to answer the 50 questions, but over 50 blog posts! 

Question one-

 How old would you be, if you didn't know how old you are? 
Well, I am currently 22.
When I was 20, I was mistaken for a 16 year old. Now, I might be mistaken as older, I'm not actually sure. I am quite unfit, and my health is crap. I think I feel old sometimes, even though I know I'm not (yes I know a lot of older people would laugh at me for saying that!). Yet, I also feel young spirited for a 22 year old, as I think about how old 22 seemed when I was 10 :) 
To give a straight answer, I would probably think I was 21! Yup.


More than life

I love him more than life,
My resurrected king.
He suffered for my sinful soul,
So that I could live in him.
How ungrateful I can be,
In complaining about nothing
I don't deserve this life,
I don't deserve his hope,
Still, he paid the ultimate price,
His life for me, his life for you.


Nuff said.
