Food as a stumbling Block.

As i was reading in my quiet time (1st corinthians: 8), I made the realization that its not just speaking of food. But, everyday life and our walk with the lord. In the vegetarian society it is polite for a non-vegetarian to respect the vegetarian by not eating food that the vegetarian himself wouldn't eat(that is kinda gay cause why is it that the non must aid the vege'......? wouldn't a saved vege' respect the non by saying lets not eat or say you may enjoy what I don't? as in the non would respect the vege' by not eating what the vege' doesn't enjoy?........Idk) Being a some what hard/difficult 17 year old boy to feed with all of my allergens this passage takes me back to several moments where my girlfriend wouldn't eat specific foods because she was being sensitive towards me, by not putting me in those specific situations where I could just as easily jump over hold her back, "wrestle" her off of me, as I plopped a mike n' ike into my mouth. In this small little act it has really opened up to me that I have been blessed with a women who is after my heart, not just protecting and tending to her own. CRAZY!!!!!!!!

- The connection I have made between all of this is that we(you, yourself) aren't the only sinner. and in that we should be watching our actions as to the affect they might have or a trigger that might become shootable, for others.

- I can tell you things I'm ashamed of (don't ask) and i can tell you of things where one action caused another to stumble. and at the time all you can say is wow I'm so glad it wasn't me, or you might not think anything of it. But within actions as small as a question and you lean one way cause......what ever, it definitely stings in the morning, (symbolizing a pass of time).

-within my walk these past 5 months I've learned that relationship's come at a price, if its your time, staying up even when your tired, spending that last dollar, being there for ppl at anytime, going back to your roots just because you want to. It's no longer all about us(YOU). We don't know what's going on with others, we need to cut a little slack to those who are different from day to day, or situation to situation.

I believe that not until we can care for our own hearts as the Lord cares and will care for ours we cant come any where near to care for others hearts, and strive to be their hand towel. along there walk's.

Freedom comes with understanding,

And I'm ready to understand.
