Probably something along the lines of getting out of doing something.<br /><br />Or telling my teachers that homework is against my religion. :) Which is hard at a "Catholic" school.... :-/<br /><br />But as for good, that is seriously the reasons I overcame OCD. That was pretty awesome. I used a love of God as a tool against it and God in turn gave me the strength to succeed in one of the most difficult battles I've ever fought.<br /><br />Perhaps a superficial reason is asking to be good at something and saying (justifying?) that I could use that talent for God. Like, "Oh, God, please let me be able to sing so I can do musicals, but then I'll join a church choir and write music for you." <br /><br />On the flip side, I think it's frustrating how people link EVERYTHING remotely moral to God. (I mean, it is, but not in the way that I mean). You know those people that are all, "Oh, you won't cheat on a test or go over the speed limit, that's just because you're Catholic." Drives. Me. Nuts.<br />^^ Random :P<br /><br />I think the thing that worries me most is I really want to just do what God wants for me because then at least I can be at peace with whatever decisions I'm making or whatever seemingly bad things happen in my life. What I really struggle with on this point is when I pray, I never know if the answer I'm getting is really what God is telling me or if it is just what I want to hear. Then I look for God's answers in other things and think maybe I'm reading too deeply into something that God didn't meant to be there.<br /><br />God is a reason for a lot of things. I'm glad he's the reason for our relationship.Rebeccanoreply@blogger.com
