Hi! I'm back! I missed several days of blogging because of this and that. I was in one of my best friends' wedding on Friday, and another one of my best friends had her bridal shower yesterday, and I got to spend a lot of time with my family in between. I had a couple days of emotional difficulty because of my stagnant old situation...do I break up with my boyfriend and forge a new direction in my life for myself, or just settle into this quagmire of relative comfort? While I was attending the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and wedding, it seemed pretty darn clear to me that I should put myself on the path to extricate my life from my boyfriend's. It was clear as a bell, during the ceremony; "You have to do it. It's the way. Stop burying your head in the sand. Just push through it." This always seems painfully clear to me when I'm with family, church family, or situations which remind me how little I enjoy my boyfriend's family, or really anything involving him that isn't just himself. I am aware that you can build a successful marriage without the amiable merging of families, but I want an amiable merging of families. I want family heavily involved in our lives, in a healthy and supportive way.
Anyway, today. What would Jesus Do?
It's a simple question, often taught first to small children to teach them the importance of critical thinking involving the teachings of our faith. If we are to aspire to be like Christ, then we must ask ourselves what he would do in ordinary and extraordinary situations.
It continues to be an important question throughout all stages of life, and I have found it especially essential to push me through undesirable situations. It's very important to keep the desires of our Lord and Savior, and the love of our unconditionally loving God in our hearts.
That's pretty much what I wanted to say.
