7 days clean

One whole week Facebook free!!!! I said that today and then immediately felt like a chain smoker who just gave up smoking. So I will probably keep up the Facebook free jokes becuase I personally find it rather funny. This first week though has definitely been easier then I expected. I still have contact with people and since my best friend changed my Facebook password I can't log in without thinking, thank goodness because I would have probably done that a few different times. I also have to say I really love and appreciate my friends. They are holding me accountable to staying off facebook and when they see funny pictures or videos on facebook they will send them too me. Especially grumpy cat pictures, they are my favorite. Grumpy cat is my patronus (Harry Potter reference, I am a Harry Potter fan). I also appreciate that my friends will stand up for my Facebook fast around other people. I know a great group of people at Liberty.
Haha but enough gushing over my friends, no need to give them over inflated egos. I shall switch topics really quick to my Bible study portion, I have a lot of homework so I can't spend a lot of time writing tonight. I read Mark 12:1-12, Jesus is talking to the same men I mentioned in my previous blog. He tells another story. Now Jesus was pretty hilarious when you think about it he would tell a story about all these character and he would be specifically referring to these religious men and they knew it. He would finish the story and the lesson that went with it and all those high and mighty men could do was walk off. Even though they would be so angry at Jeus they wanted to kill him, all they could do was walk away. Of course later on they are able to get him killed but the story doesn't end there. Those men knew Jesus was different but they were so angry at what his differences were, that even though they would admit he did great things they were so bitter and stuck in their own importance and way of doings things they couldn't see that God was right in front of them.
That is such a terrifying thought, that God could walk up to the men who studied the prophecies of his coming from the time they were children and these men would not admit who he was because he didn't come the way they wanted him too. They wanted a military man would ride in and slaughter the Roman army and free every one. But instead Jesus came with a message of forgiveness, of hope, of equality, of life that means more then the day to day living we have now. I don't want to be like the religious men, I don't want to miss Jesus just because the situation I was looking for him to be at didn't look like I wanted it too. This has definitely been my prayer today, that I don't miss Jesus. That I don't miss what he is telling me to do just becuae it isn't what I expect, or maybe even want. I hope that is your prayer as well.
