To Confess or Not Confess?

Okay, so I just spent about 2 hours reading all the posts under Van's status of determining whether we are forgiven and don't have to confess our sins anymore? Something like that. But anyways, point being, should we confess all of our sins or not? and WHy? Many views on this point that I read but mainly, everyone was stating that we don't need to be confessing ALL of our sins. I don't know if I believe that. I guess, YES, it's understandable that when we gave our lives to Christ that ALL of our sins are forgiven, the past sins, the present sins, and the future sins. Of course, that is the purpose of Jesus Christ! But as for confessing our sins to God and asking for forgiveness, I see it differently. I believe that God wants us to confess our sins to Him, to give Him everything and not hide ourselves from Him. He already knows all and has forgiven you for everything... but I don't believe that, that should be used as some sort of an excuse? I guess. I don't know any other way to put it. But, I believe that we need to be able to willingly humble ourselves before God... show Him His works in our lives. Being able to realize our sins and sharing them with God. Although, He already knows.
Kind of like: You find out something very serious about somebody, Person A, but Person B is the one who told you about that very serious situation. So you want to go to Person A and talk to them, hoping that they will trust you enough to be able to share that serious problem with you too. Even though you already know! You just want them to tell you.
We need to be able to go to God, just because we want to tell Him. Just because we want to communicate with Him and love Him. I don't know any other way to put it besides the fact that we should trust God that everything that is going on our lives to share our experience with Him. Confessing our sins, is NOT NECESSARY the bible never states that we NEED too, but I believe it can bring us closer to God.
Well, class is now over, and I should probably be paying attention a bit more... Hmm... oh well. Just continue to appreciate all that God has brought to you, and perhaps be humble and talk REAL to God. <3

Living Through A True God

So! The question being why I say God brings me all these WONDERFUL blessings into my life, as well as my troubles. Honestly, I think that God has set a reason for everything in my life. The good, and especially the bad. The bad because I trust, so overwhelmingly, that He can bring me through anything. Big or small. Everything is done through His will, and His will alone. Even then, the devil will try to come in and sweep me off my feet but I will always be strong through God and Jesus Christ who's spirit lives in ME. In us all. So we have the strength within us, to overcome all troubles that might be presented into our lives. So, I firmly believe that God brings everything into my life at certain moments, at certain times. And I, we, should always be ready for the unexpected because we are living in a world FULL of sin, FULL of lust, FULL of pride, exc. But, it is also FULL of believers, FULL of the Spirit, FULL of God's people, God has His timings for EVERYTHING. God brings us all our troubles and blessings so that we may one day turn it all around, and give it right back to Him and give Him all the praise, as we take no credit. Through God, we can most TRULY do anything, along with His will. Well, I'm kind of just rambling on right now, I'm sleepy, it's late so hopefully this all makes sense. GodBless. and Praise God for everything you have or don't have, want but don't need, the good AND the bad. <3

So As Life Continues in Comp. Class

So, today I was in my writing composition class and my professor asked us to write in our "journals" that he never checks anyways T_T asking, "What is the most important thing to you in your life today?" And the only thing I could come up with was the following word for word:


Well, of course, God. I guess nothing else really matters after that. God brings me joy, He brings me peace, He brings me hope, and He brings me trouble. God brings me love, He brings me happiness, He brings me life, and He brings me horror. God brings me provision, He brings me confidence, He brings me strength, and He brings me battles. God brings me purity, He brings me sympathy, He brings me forgiveness, and He brings me times of weakness.

And I never got the chance to finish it because time ran out. Well Lord, it's all for you babyy. <3>
