Walk 30

Ooops...

I did it again...

Yeah, 

sorry,

I did it again. 

I forgot/ got to lazy

to blog. 

I'm a bad person,

I sowwwy :/

Forgive me?

Love me?

Okay.

I see how it is.

;)

Good things on the 30th of January:

•  Having an easy day of classes.
• Having an easy day of work.
• Not having an awful chemistry lab.
• Going to the school's art gallery for my art appreciation class. I really like art galleries. They're peaceful and moving. :)
• Playing racquetball with Savannah, Justin, and Travis. Well, we played for like 5 minutes but apparently someone had that court reserved and the others were full. So we ended up messing around the gym for like half an hour. Basically we played on the "rock wall".
• Josh and I posting ALL over each other's Facebook wall. Haha my brother and I are ridiculous :)

Yeah,

so my Ipod has been dying a lot this week.

Mainly,

because I keep forgetting to charge it fully.

So I don't have any pictures for January 30th.

I am,

yet again,

sorry.

So Walk 30 

was about 

"The Incident of the Golden Calf".

Basically,

while Moses was up on Mt. Sinai,

some of the Israelites decided that he had died.

So,

even though they had been instructed not to,

they decided to make a golden calf to worship to.

The calf god had been one of the Egyptian gods,

so they were referring to what they thought they knew.

When Moses returned to them,

he was so mad at them,

he broke the two stone tablets full of rules that God had given him.

Breaking the tablets

symbolized them breaking their covenant with God.

So,

Moses had to go back up the mountain 

and get new tablets and enter into a new covenant with God.

There was one sentence that kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

It was Exodus 33:3:

"'Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way.'"

Like,

this sentence got me.

I wondered how God could be so...

cruel I guess.

I sent this message to my dad after I read it:

I'm still getting the impression that God is an angry, strict God. And it's still bothering me. Is it just because the Israelites are being really stupid that God has to be like this?

I didn't even wait for his response before I sent this:

I guess I get it though. I can relate it to myself. I understand God being frustrated with the Israelites. I mean, I get mad at Josh, Joel, and Chloe when they don't do what I tell them to do and want them to do, because I think I know it'll be good for them. God was doing the same thing with the Israelites. However God actually does know what's perfect for us and can see the best path when we can't. And I guess it makes Him really angry when we and the Israelites directly defy that and break promises we just recently made to God. Because He knows the best path for our lives but we think we know it, but really we don't.

 Yeah,

I know it kind of rambles.

But,

I guess I had a little breakthrough.

I understand why God was so upset with them,

that He thought He might destroy them if He had to continue on with them.

I kind of get the same way.

Sometimes,

I just want my siblings to do something so bad

because I think that I can see that it will better their lives.

However,

I come across bossy,

and they don't listen.

And honestly,

I just feel like slapping them in the face sometimes.

But God is the only one who knows what's best.

I guess He seems so severe to me,

because He is on 

so much more of a grander and majestic level than I could ever dream to be,

so naturally,

He needs a bigger reaction.

It makes sense,

to me at least.
