I Strongly Dislike Labels.

Hello Everyone... Once again, I am very sorry for not having a post in a while. I was at a Summer camp, and had an amazing time, and there was a huge out pouring of the Holy Spirit there... People were speaking in tongues, being healed... It was the whole nine yards! LOL... Not quite the way to put something so amazing... But words cannot truly describe what happened at camp.

Anyways, I hope you are all having a blessed week, and aren't mad at me for not posting in so long. :)

I strongly dislike labels... Labels of all kinds. There is one in particular that I dislike the most, and it is the label "emo". Emo is an over-used label, that should never be used in the first place.

I often get called emo because of the dark colored clothes I like to wear, or fingerless gloves, or skinny jeans... But it's just my taste in clothes. I also enjoy loud music... Such as Skillet, Red, Decyfer Down, FlyLeaf, Thousand Foot Krutch, ect, ect.... And that does not make me emo. The original version of emo is "A depressed person who cuts them selves." and I am not that person. Personally, I don't think that people who cut themselves should be called Emo, or be looked down on. They are loved by God, just as much as anyone else is, and they need to be shown that, and that hurting themselves is not the answer. I've known more than one person that used to cut themselves... They did it for a number of reasons, but for most people that I've known it's because they don't feel good enough. Like they can't do anything right, and nobody loves them... And none of those things they thought were true. If you know someone who has a problem with cutting, don't hate them. Don't yell at them, or call them emo, and make poor judgments on them. Because as I said, Jesus loves them just like he loves anyone else. We have all made our own mistakes, and it's not up to us to judge others for their mistakes.

Another label I don't care for is the Boyfriend/Girlfriend label... Especially in the early teen ages... Such as 12, 13, and 14. There are even 9 year olds who have boyfriends. Now, I don't have anything against them, I just don't choose to follow what they do. I don't believe in the boyfriend/girlfriend thing. The worlds judgement of what love is, is totally whacked. I'm not going to go on and on about what love is because that would just turn into a whole other blog post. :D

I think that WAY too much gossip, and hurt comes with that label, and it really just isn't worth it, and it can draw you away from what God is wanting for you.

You should never judge something or someone just by what someone else says about them... Never judge a book by it's cover, or anything or anyone for that matter!

Have a blessed day, and feel free to comment and express any feelings or questions you may have!
