There is a difference between

Going out into the world and finding out who you are aside from your parents (which yes, sometimes involves a bit of rebellion) 

And

Being an immature idiot in rebelling just because you think it's fun. 

A BIG difference. 

The people who push you the hardest are the ones that care about you the most.

"What makes marriage worth having is that you, your spouse, and those around you see more of God and his love for us in Jesus. If you’re not experiencing that with your boyfriend, break up with him." 

As much as I LOVE vacations and don't always want to leave, I LOVE coming home from one. 

I love getting off the plane and stretching my legs knowing I'm almost home. 

I love the feeling I get when I pick my bag up off the belt on home soil. 

I love the drive home. Seeing familiar landscape and a Tim Hortons on every highway exit.

I love dropping my bags on the floor and flopping onto my couch. 

I love sleeping in my own bed for the first time in days/weeks. 

When I had my chocolate lab, my favourite thing ever was picking her up from the kennel. To see her come running around the corner was the best feeling. 

I love the overwhelming excitement of hugging my best friends for the first time after I'm back.

I love the exhausted best ever sleep that happens the first night being home.

 

As much as I hate leaving vacations- I LOVE coming home. 

A good debate every now and then can be good for you. But I question why Christians bother debating the finer details like God's will and the Holy Spirit. Yes, those things are crucial to understand- but read the Bible. Don't squabble over who's right or who's wrong and the why of it all. Read the Bible and trust in God. Be still and know and be a light to the world. If we fight amongst ourselves, how are we ever supposed to win souls for Christ? We're so busy preaching at our brother that we forget who we've been commissioned to help.
