Challenge, conviction, and unrest

So, in the past month or so and even more specifically the past week or two, I have realized how ungrounded my personal beliefs are. This is encouraging to me because it gives me things to ponder and work at. For a while I didnt quite know where to go; I know I'm nowhere near perfect, but didnt know what to work at (other than eliminating my massive amounts of procrastination, which also happens to be why i'm blogging right now... procrastionation haha). I am glad to have finally found friends who, though we all believe the same thing in general because we are bound by a common faith, are all looking at life from VERY different perspectives. I think this is currently my favorite thing about Malone. I am definitely learning more surrounding class than within the class material- I find it extremely intriguing that there can be SO many different beliefs amongst Christians. I am enjoying this realization and the applications it has to me. There is, in fact, no one person I fully agree with. Although I do tend to side with the same people the majority of the time, there will always be that defining moment where I step back and realize just how different each individual being is. This is the beauty of creation. I greatly appreciate those of you who are that particular type of person living with no regrets, but rather just being yourself, and balancing that with completely loving others who do the same.
