So I am in the end of my Midterm Week. It has been...Stressful. With a lot of big tests, a big portion of my grade relies on the outcome of the grades I get this week. On a positive note, my math midterm I got back today was a 100% correct...Which made my day. But needless to say, college is...Hard. It's not too challenging (yet) of just general work, but it's challenging balancing it and life together.
I have never really been a person to wake up early and doing it 4 days a week becomes a challenge. Either I am going to college, or going to work on the weekends. There is not a single day I don't have a commitment to something. After a while, it wears on the soul. The thing though is, this is also Fall Break for a lot of my friends and they are out, relaxing, and getting some R&R that they really need...I am jealous of them at this current moment. Life becomes stressful. And hard sometimes. Needless to say what's happened this past year for me so far has been a roller-coaster of school, emotions, stress, homework (lol), etc. Going from senior year to graduating to college has been an experience in itself.
Adjusting to the college lifestyle has been kinda hard in itself. My college (Georgia Highlands) doesn't have a lot of social things at my campus, so basically my friend count here is zilch. It's hard because I am so used to being around a big group of friends, at a local school, doing things constantly. Having such a dramatic change of social life effects one. I almost relate it to living on a deserted island...Although it's not "that" bad. I sometimes wish my personality was one that was a little more outgoing. I know I can't just be quiet anymore (it's starting to become an issue...Or at least I see it as such), and need to start branching out. But for me, that's an entirely new concept I don't want to accept...I guess I am so used to doing things the way I've always done them. They say college changes a person, but one thing I am trying to decide about my college career (so far) is for the better or worse? I guess only time will tell. But for now, staying strong and firm in my beliefs and will is my main priority. And then, just let God guide me from there...
The stresses of life...

Posted by Ryan Mueller | 8:14 PM | bad, bible, god, good | 0 comments »What defines a good person? Is it someone who thinks that his/her choices are good? What if that the choices he or she views is just a distorted reality of good in their own sense? We can never really define what is fully good. One person's view of something always differs from another.
I guess this all truly goes down to what God says is good. Truth and the choices of good and bad falls into what the Bible tells us. It always comes down to that. But how do we approach the people who view's of good and bad are skewed? How do we show them that the world has swayed them? For instance, a atheist might see good and bad a completely different from a Christian. Or on the other hand, how about a non-Christian "good" person like a mother of a family? If true goodness is defined by the Bible in God's words, how do you show it to the people who don't understand that?
I guess true goodness is only shown by actions, and the deeds done by the believers. We need to stand up to show the world what good and bad is, and by our actions and our lives, we can show the goodness of our God and Savior. Only then can we truly understand true goodness.
