My Midnight Prayer

"For, with what judgement you judge, you will be judged."

My Midnight Prayer

For the Bible said:

"Judge not that ye shall not be judged. For, with what judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you use, it shall be measured back onto you, and even multiplied!
And why do you examine the splinter in thy brother's eye, when you have a tree growing out of your own? And how can you even see to remove the splinter from your brother's eye when you are blinded by the tree growing out of yours? Hypocrite! First, remove the tree from thine own eye, then you may see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's.
Do not offer what is Holy to the dogs! Neither, cast your pearls before swine, lest they turn and trample you under their feet, then turn again and rend you to pieces".
~ Matthews 7

I, for one, am no saint. I am no man free of sin. I am a sinner by nature just like the rest of God's children. For I have judged many and judged myself. For that I seek out the forgiveness of the Lord himself. As should all of His children.

We were not created to judge one another. For that is pushed upon us by the devil himself. So that our relationship with God becomes fragile, but I won't let the devil win.

I refuse.

I ask the Lord to establish a foundation in me of understanding so that I have greater faith in him. A level of understanding that allows me to not place judgment on anyone but to listen, observe and learn.

I ask Him to come to others and allow them to rid themselves of judgement and seek im so that they too can better understand.

I ask Him to relinquish any judgement from inside of me and to restore my faith so that I know that God is my savior and on judgement day that He alone shall judge me and no one else.

I ask that of Him.

Amen.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
