oehfoanfoasnlf.... come again?


Faith and philosphy class. oh boy. This class is all about thinking and debating--> Definitely not two of my strong points.

Read this excerpt from my text for the class:

"This (being) exists so truly that it cannot be though not to exist. For it is possible to think that something exists that cannot be thought not to exist, and such a being is greater than one that can be though not to exist. Therefore, if that than which a greater cannot be thought can be thought not to exist, then that than which a greater cannot be thought is not that than which a greater cannot be thought; and this is a contradiction. So that than which a greater cannot be thought exists so truly that it cannot be thought not to exist." -Anselm from "God"


Say what? Goodness that takes me a while to digest! Think it means God exists because you can not think he does not? This class is going to be such a challenge for me, but I will learn so much from this class because of its difficulty level.

What challenges do you have facing you this school year? ..?
  • Finding friends you can trust..?
  • Completing your school work..?
  • Making the team..?
  • Missing your boyfriend..?
  • Wanting a boyfriend..?
  • Seeing an ex boyfriend ..?
We all have challenges this coming year.. ALL OF US. So don't bother comparing your challenge to someone elses, instead help them with their challenge. As you help someone else with their challenge- I guarantee you think about yours less and less and it becomes less of a bother.

Jordin Sparks talks about the solution to our challenges in her latest song, "One step at a time!"
"When you can't wait any longer,
and there's no end in sight
It's your FAITH that keeps you stronger
The only way we get there is one step at a time"



Our faith in God keeps us strong through these challenges and He guides us in getting through- ONE STEP AT A TIME.
2 Corinthians 12:10 This verse tells us whenever we are weak-he is strong. Whenever we are in the midst of one of those challenges- God is strong and helping us be strong. You are not facing these challenges alone- He's got your back!
