SUNDAY SCHOOL 7-8
I know it's been a while but I have been doing my home work on some of the same topics I feel I will be writing on the rest of my life! I want to start out with a point I'm not sure I have yet to write about. It has bugged me for a long time now. My point is this, we have spent to much time contemplating the "dont's" in life that we have completely forgotten about the "do's".
I grew up, and I bet you did to, saying I will never be like this, or I will never do that. But we failed to recognize what we did want to be like. We spent all our time seeing the bad, we never saw the good, but once or twice. And one thing I have come to realize, is if we do not see what we Do want to be like, then we will end up being exactly like what we don't. This in my opinion is one reason we end up being exactly like our parents. As kids we can only see that they are keeping us from what we want, so we say, when I grow up I will never be like that. And because we never saw the good that we did want to be like, we ended up right where we said we would never be. Now you ma be saying its not that way for me. And it might not be, but I bet it is because one day you said I want to be just like that. But you probably didn't stop there, you probably went on to say why you wanted to be that way.
All of this goes before what I now want to talk about. I think this is carried over into every aspect of our lives. Take the whole relationship thing. I believe we have spent all our time saying and teach to dont do this, or to dont do that, that we are in a stand still. And we are now asking so many questions because everyone one is so scared we will mess things up that they have forgotten to tell us what To do. I don't know about you, but I sure would like some answers to my questions, not just more dont's and more questions.
I didn't write anything about last Sundays schools class because it was just repeated stuff. Then this week I decided to call my contacts and speak with them personally, rather then getting my info through another text. So I did and we spent a healthy amount of time discussing this fact that we seem to be getting more questions and less answers. He also informed me that, again, they were just covering some of the same things we have already covered. So I hate to leave you with a bunch of questions, but that's all I have for right now.

Wow I think you are right on! Everyone is so worried about what not to do, how not to be and the problem with this and that, that it seem like the whole meaning of somethings has been forgotten. And yeah I agree if you only look at what you don't want then you will never know what else to be because that's all you saw.
