Been a while...

We are doing ok...my exam is getting closer. Just waiting for my performance to peak, so I can schedule it. I am getting in the groove. Feeling confident, thank God for that.

I read this blog by hitting the "next blog" button on the top right of the page. This girl was suicidal--at least she says she was. Who knows what to believe, especially on the Internet. So I had to put something down, I couldn't just leave without giving some hope. So I mentioned a verse and gave some advice. What exactly do you say to someone that is trying to kill themselves? Anything except, "Do it!" Change their mind, by talking them out of it. I say, try to get them to remember good things about their lives or perhaps, think of the future. I came across this quote:

a big part of willpower is having something to aspire to, something to live for--Mark Shuttleworth

It is strange that many non-Christians have elements of truth in their sayings and lives. There was another quote by an Indian guru:

You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day? Because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God.
--Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

What an eloquent argument for God. Imagine how much this man had searched for God. At the very least, he saw the fallacies of Hinduism. I am glad, though, that I put a Bible verse for that suicidal girl. Even though I don't have faith, and think that some of these other words may have a bigger impact. I know that the Holy Spirit can use those words to move and change lives. I need to ask forgiveness for my lack of faith. I think the girl is still alive--she posted again. She should know that there is hope (obviously not in her boyfriend) and that hope is in Christ.
