"I feel like I'm almost starting over, now that I'm 19. Spiritually, I've been at a loss to know who God really is. Worship? Church? Reading the Bible? What's the point? How much is really how God designed it? How much is useless human invention? I need to know. I'm basing my LIFE on this stuff...I'd like to know what I believe.
I heard someone on YouTube say (while she was drunk), 'If you're drunk, who cares how much black makeup you have on, you're sad anyways, because if you weren't, why would you be drinking in the first place?'
That's my generation, people. Doesn't anyone care?"
...become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world. Philippians 2:15

"I'd like to know what I believe." << I think this is what is so amazing about the human race: individuality. Until a couple years ago, I grew up with the automatic assumption that what I was told (in both the world and church) was truth. I thought that well-known scholars who spoke on issues obviously knew what they're talking about, so their thoughts mean so much more than my own. But I'm finding that that's the beauty of creation, we all have our own ways of thinking and belief.
So in the same way, it's kinda like who's to say what's right and what's wrong? Though some people are truly inspired and led, interpretation of the truth can become a tricky thing.
But I think that's where the personal relationship comes in. It's beautiful that we each have the opportunity to discover Him in our own manner, and that's been my support lately. That my answers don't come from these "human inventions" but that when I call on Him with a concern, He will answer.

Also, though I've expressed this already, I am smitten by this photo! So simple and beautiful, ah! Anyways, I truly miss you and can't wait to see this face soon. Love you :)
So true we always have a desire to know more and believe more. God created us to be that way. We are curious creatures. I feel like I was in that spot a while ago to....it was like a journey of finding myself. This post is great Jesseca.
