Hebrews 10:35

Sitting in the waiting room at my Orthodontist's office, I was reading a local magazine, about high school sports. They were interviewing a baseball player from Paloma Valley High School or Linfield Christian School, I can't remember, and they asked him what his favorite bible verse was. He stated "Hebrews 10:35". My curiosity got the best of me and I looked it up when I got home.

"So do not throw away your confidence, it will be richly rewarded."

What a powerful verse. Just one sentence, with pounds of wisdom.

Confidence is something that I've always accounted myself for. It makes me, me. Confidence is something that I've always looked for in a person, it shows that you've accepted the person that God has made you and are willing to exert that positive energy onto others. Start with positive thinking, then move on to positive actions, which turns into positive habits and ends with positive results. Being confident is what makes you unique, it's not trying to do something that no one has ever done before or being different from the person behind you. Confidence is beauty.
Don't be fooled. There's a fine line between confidence and conceit.

con⋅fi⋅dence -noun; 1.full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing 2. belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities; self-confidence; self-reliance; assurance

con⋅ceit -noun; 1. an excessively favorable opinion of one's own ability, importance, wit, etc. 2. something that is conceived in the mind; a thought; idea
Just looking at the denotations of both words you notice a vast difference. 

Don't be fooled.

I Apologize In Advance...

2010 is already here, it's crazy to think that I've already been around for two decades (of course I haven't been around for two WHOLE decades, I'm only 17, I meant that I've lived during two decades).  I'm ready to move on from 2009, like every year it had it's ups and it's downs but I have to say that it was a great year.

It's January 3rd and we haven't even gone back to school from break yet, but I can tell that this is going to be another busy year. Another year of growing up and learning new things about myself and the world around me.

Forgive me, I don't know how often I'll be able to put up new posts and I don't know how often my creativity will get the best of me and inspire me to write more. But I will try my best, because writing, is the best therapy there is to the trials and tribulations that we call life.
