Reverse Thinking

        I am sorry if I scared anyone, which I know I did, with my last real entry but it needed to be done. It might have been the meds. that I was on for my anxiety and I think I have gotten that taken care as of now but the weeks I was on the bed meds. and the entry and reactions that I got really made me think about something that this world doesn't have to offer. That is why I called this entry "reverse Thinking". People know me and they know that the entry was not me at all and I understand that. but what about if that entry was written from a non-Christian and maybe even disturbing person. Would we think to go her them like people helped me? I know it might be a strange comparison but if you really think about it, how true is it?
        As a world nowadays with the internet, people only put up happy things that are going on in their lives. We really don't know what is going on in their lives, do we? People use the internet to get lies and to live behind so people don't know the real them. I got a lot of comments and sayings that told me that it took courage to write what I wrote yet it wasn't bad. It was just different because you don't see those side of things on the internet. Everyone wants everyone to think they have happy lives when really we are all human and have sinned and messed up big time. If we think about it: that is why marriages are falling apart, children are being left behind, fights and bullying are breaking out more and more in the public schools and so on.
         People don't feel safe to talk out their problems or even write them out because they will feel like they will get judged or someone will do something to them and think differently about them and not in a good way. I did take the post down from my Facebook page the next morning but it is still on my blog because people need to see that there are people out there that feel that way even Christian people and especially Christian people. Just because we believe in Christ our lives are not easy at all. If you think about it, they are actually harder because we know right from wrong. We know what to do sometimes but yet we doubt a lot more and so on. We want to fit into the world but yet God tells us to do the opposite and that is really hard at some points in life like the ones I mention in my last entry. I am not going to be a person that puts on a show for everyone and a perfect one at that.
          To be honest, that meds. might not stuck with me for a long time because it was bad for me but I truly believe God had me try it to teach me this lesson right here and to open up my eyes more. He might be leading me down a path I never thought I would be going done. It is strange how little things and how short of a time those things can take to show us Christians something if we would just look and listen. I will be honest and I am using a friend here as an example and his show but in a good way. I have supported my friend's show from the very start. I've watched every show that has came out so far expect the last two. I am behind a bit. Sorry. My friend is all about getting the real life on hunting out there and he would keep saying that on his shows and just at random times.
          As an example of what I am learning but using what I know about my friend's show and maybe hunters out there or just people see this too. It happens on TV all the time too. There are these big hunting shows with only the biggest and best game and catches and shots. It can make the little hunters or the everyday average hunters, better way to put it, feel bad about themselves. My friend's show is not like the other big shows out there and it is getting bigger by the day too. It is an online show, which is great too. It is another thing online just like my entries that is trying to change some things and I can tell you it is happening for sure. It is for the average hunter and my friend shows everything on his shows. He shows his misses, his ways of doing things, his deer that he has shot whether big or small, the behind the video things, and even his family at times. He shows it all and he is a big advocate for the average hunter. If someone makes fun of hunters, he will be on their back in no time at all. He is an amazing, Godly man too but if you say anything about the average hunter, he will hunt you down and get you.
            The show is called "The Huntin' Grounds". He has a Facebook page and Youtube page plus website. The website is: www.thg-tv.com. Felt like I needed to give a shout out for him since I am talking about him and he doesn't know it. I never really understood what he meant by supporting the average hunter and getting word out there for that kind of hunter but know after this week I understand and I told him that too. I have a better understanding of why he does what he does. The whole world, no matter what it is, deer or way of life, looks at only the happy and good parts about it and that is all they see and it is our faults. We are all scared to be the real us out there for the world to see but wouldn't you think it would be easier for people if we don't just put pictures of or families and babies and weddings on Facebook but the hard things like the little house we live in now or the house when it is a mess or things like that more and more on the internet.
          At the same time, I feel the same way with the children I teach. I try to get to know the real them because that is the only real way I can help them. I will try to find out everything I need to know about them to help them. I will research through the night or wreak my brain to find something that will work for them if they need something different. I want the children to feel like they are able to come to me with anything that is bothering them and I will help them the best I can. If I can't, I am still there to comfort them. I have had teachers that wouldn't listen to my ideas and it took longer for things to get on the right track.
           I know this is all crazy and I'm not asking everyone to do it but I am just asking you to think about it in these ways. We all have our own different ways to put what our real lives are like out there to the world whether through a hunting show or through writing in a blog. The point comes down to the same thing. We live in such a fake world these days and it is all about stuff and high paying jobs that we don't see the real meaning or that we forget it. It is just getting faker by the day. Satan is trying to grab this world for him and sadly we are letting him take it one day at a time. One situation at a time. We are all liars if you really think about it. None of us are telling any truths. We say we are fine when we are not and that passes along to the other person because they are sacred to let their feelings show because you didn't take the time to either.
            Every time I think of this lesson marriage and families come to mind but then again that is my dream someday is to get married and have a family. It might not be the prefect one but I can start by letting people that I love know truly how I am feeling deep inside. I am one deep thinker so my future husband will have to be up with that but it is just one of the good things about me too. I think it is time for me to get off this soapbox now and go do some other things on this Sunday. Just remember to be real most of the time and things might not be easy but in the end they will be worth it.
