What Would Jesus Do, really?

So the weirdest thing happened today. Jason and I were being angry the entire evening about certain issues with a certain someone, planning our very clever revenge. So after a night of very hostile remarks and a lot of evil plans, we were driving back to his camp, and just about we were exiting the highway, for some reason, I thought to myself, we're Christians after all, we weren't taught to be revengeful and have hateful thoughts, on the contrary, we're taught to turn the other cheek. Just as I was thinking that, Jason said, "What's the Christian thing to do?" So obviously, I told him how our thoughts were almost exactly the same and being the retard I am, said, "God? Are you telling us something? If You are, give me a sign" and there was a sign coming up so I joked about how the sign would change to say, "Please don't ruin -insert name-, -God" So we turned into his camp, and it's a long stretch of drive in, so again my thoughts drifted, and I remember thinking, "Time for some mad praying tonight la" and again, just as I thought it, Jason said, "Spend some time praying about it tonight ok?" I honestly don't know what to call it but divine intervention.

I won't speak on Jason's behalf on this. Admittedly, I'm not a good Christian. I've strayed more than I should. But ultimately, I'd like to believe whatever it is, no matter how non-Christian I've become, when it comes to big, important decisions I have to make, when it comes to trying obstacles in life, God comes through ultimately. And I guess, since He's been faithful, I have no reason to do anything which will be displeasing to Him, so I guess, this time, I'll be the better person. While I don't agree with the way some people choose to handle certain things in their lives, I can't force my beliefs upon them.

I know "He knows the plans he has for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you", it's just that, when situations like these arise, it's hard to keep the faith. I guess I'll take that one out with God later. But whatever it is, I'm sure it's just a drop in the bucket.

But through all of this, I can honestly and wholeheartedly say I'm blessed to have Jason and I couldn't be more thankful. I guess there is a silver lining to everything afterall ey? Amen to that, yo!
