Love, Life, and Locke

Postby Locke » Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:01 pm

I never thought I wouyld actually be posting this on CAA since it was a few weeks ago and Im over it now.

But I still feel it inside >.>

A few weeks ago I was actually thinking of suicide. ( funny how it feels to look back at it now...)
And alot of things were bringing me down, I was putting on a act for my friends but I knew that my close friends could see right through me.

I dont know why, but I forgot the reason why I felt this way... It was weird, It was a week after this when I stepped on mt friends foot and made her cry.

I felt like crap. All those feelings of wourthlessness came back. I couldent speak to anyone that day...I was in a shell.

I thought she hated my guts <,<
And I felt baaaad.

Theres a quote from one of my favorite books Enders Shadow, Sister Carlota (SP?) is talking to one of the scientists that created Bean and the conversation falls on suicide.

She says somethign along the lines of " Even when faced with the option of suicide, I know that people still feel the love of Christ in their hearts"

More or less like that. That passage though, hit me like a bullet.
I finnaly realised what Ive been missing this entire time.

God.

Purely undeniable Jesus Christ's love.

So I just gave all my troubles and burdens to God and holy crap I felt lighter. And I talked alot about this to my friend and they helped me through.

Oh and the girl? She forgave me and were dating and running the Christian Club at school.

Thanks guys for reading those few people who prayed for me ( You know who you guys are :thumb: )

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you didn't kill yourself! I would have been SO sad! Needless to say, I'm relieved that all of this has somewhat blown over and you see just how imporant your life is to Christ.

We love you, Locke!
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Wow, im glad you didn't kill yourself. I love how Christ pulls us out of the pits of dispare we fall into. I've recently been seeing just how important He is in my life as well, it seems my life falls apart when im not focused on Him.

Wow, I'm so glad you didn't kill yourself! Sometimes seemingly small things can trigger real feelings of despair. I'm glad God hugged you and held you by means of the Ender's book. Orson Scott Card is a very devout Mormon and he frequently weaves the love of God and the possibility of redemption into the themes of his books.
But even if we don't feel at ease, God is greater than our feelings and He knows everything. 1 John 3:20 :angel:

Delight in utter trust.

that's very impressive...*claps* I'm glad that you managed to get through that, it's not easy I know. Card's books have inspired me in difficult times too :)
