god stuff

well i was at church this morning and we started watching a video thing all morning. its based on the purpose driven life. and the guy on the film was doing a talk he made 5 points and this is one of the things that i took away from it.

the guy lets call him bill(i cant remeber his name) he was saying about the things you can take to heaven. which isnt much. biill said pretty much the only thing you can take to heaven is your charicter, or your personality. and bill was saying about how god trys to develop your charicter for you, to make you more like jesus. and bill said that bad things change your charicter more than posative life stuff. he was saying that everything you do and descide changes it but when bad things happen thats what changes it the most. could be something you descide to do or something that happens to you, a temptaition failed again, a poor choice whtever. and bill said that god sometimes allows stuff to happen to you fto give you the chance to make a good choice and improve your charicter.that made keef think!

about how that makes all the bad in my life isnt actually that bad its a good bad. (these are keefy thoughts now) like look at it this way. i have certain things in my life that i wish i didnt have. things i do, say, think, have to put up with like we all do. but how about instead of looking at them as shitty things that pee me off, why dont i look at them as an oppotunity to make a good choice and develop my charicter more to be more like jesus?. now i can relate this to 2 bits of scripture. the thorn in the fleash(romans) and those who can be trusted with little can be trusted with much(cant remember where) so thats what im gona try and do.
