One person, One judgement

Sometimes it just takes one person....to screw you up. Or when I say "screw you up" I mean to confuse you or make you think twice about people. It consistently amazes me how people decide to live their lives. I know that no two people are exactly a like...but many people are similar to other people and others are so far away from people it's insane. But why do some people chose to live their lives in complete mystery? or complete loneliness? or in complete lies? These are the daily questions that haunt every breath I take or every step I make. And you know what hurts the most....is that these are the people I know and care about....or at least I used to care about. Now a days I really don't seem to mind why these people do what they do or how they live their lives.

I have vowed to myself not to live a life of lies or a life of mystery or a life filled with darkness. No, I vow to live life to it's fullest and to live like everybody is watching and everybody is smiling at me! I now realize that people will ALWAYS judge me for being me, but that's just fine because in the end other people are judging them for being the way they are! In John 15:18 Jesus says, "When the world hates you, remember it hated me before it hated you." The world hated Jesus!? What!? How could the world hate someone that brought hope and faith to the people? Well how could someone hate me? Simple...because everyone has their own opinions.

Judge me if you wish...however, I will not judge you until I walk a mile in your shoes. I've learned a lot about people lately and I've learned that the more you talk about somebody or judge somebody, the worse you may feel about yourself. Some people make dumb decisions, it doesn't make them a dumb person. It's pointless to talk about someone that may have "screwed you up" because in reality they didn't screw you up, you allowed yourself to screw you up.
