This is just my thoughts… no offense intended.. The You is no one person.. Please don’t feel singled out. I ‘m not talking about you.
I can’t believe that people put their whole lives on FB and then wonder why no one is surprised when they tell them something. I can’t believe you would actually say that on FB!!! I can’t believe some of the songs I hear on air one are considered worship music… I can’t believe the people that pass for christians nowadays… I can’t believe that sometimes I am so judgemental.. I mean who died and left me the boss.. I can’t believe I’ve been married almost 4 years… I can’t believe God gave me such and incredible husband.. I can’t believe that people blame God for every little thing that goes wrong in their lives or in the world, I can’t believe how SLOW the service at Johnny Carino’s in Gilroy is, I can’t believe that homosexuality is ok.. no matter how much the agenda is pushed in my face by hollywood, I can’t believe that you believe it is! I can’t believe that you’ve been raised in the glorious truth your whole life and you feel like your missing out on life because .. why?? Oh you don’t have a STD, or your not pregnant or you don’t have hangovers.. or you don’t have to go get an abortion… I can’t believe that you eat that much and then wonder why your overweight!!! I can’t believe that you think life is free! Or that freedom is free… I can’t believe the shape that our country is in… What happened to America? I can’t believe that we are all so connected to everyone in the world and we feel the need to share information every time something “momentous’ happens. Or even when you cook dinner, tie your show or go tanning… I can’t believe that I actually care. Omyword! And I can’t believe that you would come to a pentecostal church and SIT THERE!!!!! With your arms folded and not move a muscle.. when you have so much to thank God for.. you just sit there and act persecuted because … life isn’t going your way? God is mean? God did it? It’s Gods fault? But then after service you talk and laugh and its like your a whole other person. I don’t understand that. I can’t believe that you expect me to talk about my brothers and sisters in the lord with you. I can’t believe that you expect me to understand when you are sinning .. I can’t believe that as horrible as I am God still loves me… I can’t believe that in all my worry I get peace in the midst of life .. raging storms.. whether they are in my head or in my life .. I can’t believe that I am commanded to pray for those that despitefully use me… I mean doesn’t God know what I’m going through?!?! I want them to suffer! LIke I’ve sufferered.. I can’t believe God expects better of me…
I can’t believe that I let things get to me so easily.. You do what you think is best and I will pray for you. I will do what I think is best and you pray for me. I don’t want to be consumed with what everyone else is doing! I need to focus on my life! Who am I reaching? Who am I touching? What am I doing on a daily basis to get to Heaven and to take someone with me??? I think if I read my Bible and was ALONE with God .. HALF as much as I was on FB or Twitter… I would not have all these feelings.. This is not pointed to anyone .. This is just me – I’m amazed at how I waste my time.. reading updates then saying “well I just can’t believe that” “I can’t believe how dumb that is” .. I’ll tell you what I can’t believe.. I can’t believe that despite all my baggage, all my worries, all my sickness, and pain.. and disbelief and judging, and selfishness .. and .. and .. and.. that God would STILL love me.. Still fill me with His spirit. Still … Be there when I need him.. Still expect greatness out of me even when it seems that “everyone else” is getting away with it .. I can’t believe all the chances I get, and that his mercy is new every day… or how about that one day.. I’ll be with him, and like him!!!! Can you believe that???
I Can.

I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this post! LOL! No, really, I liked it immensely.
It was very wise and something that would be good to reread once in a while.
Thank you, Danelle.
