Degrassi: The Boiling Point- Adam/Gracie

Ok, so before a couple of days ago I hadn't watched Degrassi in a LONG time; I wasn't very fond of the new characters! I hate when shows change from their original characters. Blah! But.... After watching it the other day, I realized that Degrassi still goes there.
And I mean that's great because that's why I always loved the show in the first place! But, Adam (AKA Gracie), the transvestdite, definitely got me thinking a lot about my views on this certain issue. Her parents and peers at school didn't accept her lifestyle and that, I believe, is definitely wrong. But, at the same time, I can't say that they won't accept her for who she is because really that's not who she is. . . 
I'm still trying to understand my own opinion on this situation. I, as a Christian, believe that God didn't make any mistakes. He definitely made Gracie to be a girl. Somewhere along the lines I guess she just got confused about her sexuality, identidy, and gender. While I am absolutely against that lifestyle choice (being a transvestdite), I definitely can understand where she's coming from.
As I have mentioned before, growing up is SOOOOO HARD and teens may question their sexuality. But I do believe that God made man to be with woman and that's how it should be. It's okay to get confused sometimes but, you gotta get back on the right track with God.
That's just my opinion and I guess you don't really hear a lot about Christianity in Degrassi. Well not since Darcy's been off the show.
But anyway, let me know what your thoughts are on this topic! I'm still sort of debating on mine :)

Doubts

I've been saved by grace through faith but, God knows I still have my doubts.
Can God hear my prayers even though I still sin? Can he hear my helpless shouts?
If my sin died with Christ then why I am still sinning? Shouldn't God take care of all that?
Why does temptation continue to come my way? How do I know God's glory is a fact?
Is it normal for me to not want to read my Bible, though I know I should be reading it daily?
Do other Christians go through this stage of uncertainty? Or am I just going crazy?
I bring all these questions to God and I wait and wait for God's reply. . .
After waiting and waiting for oh so long, I begin to wonder. . . Where is thee Most High?

"Andrea, I hear you. You must be patient; have I not been patient with you?
No matter the situation- all the lies and addictions- have I not seen you through?
I go days without hearing from you, but wait patiently for a simple call.
But you come to me in trouble and immediately I must drop all?
Remember that I'm always with you and will love you no matter what.
You have to know I'm always there. To you my doors will never be shut.
You have to trust me because chose you for everything I've thrown at you.
I'm holding it all in the palm of my hand, everything you're going through.
And it is ok every now and then to have a few doubts
But remember I am your father and I am going to bring you out"

Happy Happy Happy! :D


Lemme just start by saying.... God has been OH so very good to me lately! I mean not just lately, but I'm  really startin to appreciate his grace and mercy! He's delivered me from so much lately and he's been opening my eyes to see a lot of new things! I'm so very happy to be a child of God right now! I love him! :)

Growing Up! :)

So... Is there a certain map that every teenager is given when growing up?? Cuz if so, I did NOT get the email! ;)


But what's good is that I think I'm starting to get a little clarity on who I am again! I know I've always been a very deep thinker, and when I was younger, I always wondered which girly cliche I would portray. Then recently, I just had a huge brain fart and lost all confidence I had in my old self. So I talked to a few people and I guess it's all a part of growing up.
I now realize that my personality doesn't really fit any girly cliche. I'm just Andrea, the girl who knows everyone but isn't considered to be popular. I'm the girl with tons of close guy friends and very distant gal pals. I'm the girl who tries every sport, but is really only good at one (volleyball!!). I, also, am very mature for my age. I have always attracted and have been attracted to older guys. I'm dating a guy who's my age right now and he's awesome! But I just don't think we're on the same maturity level or even on the same page! :P But I guess I'm only fourteen... And I guess I'm just gonna have to deal with it..
But as soon as I turn sixteen (which is the age of consent!!!!), I'm gonna be the happiest girl alive! :)
Lol.. Well I guess I just don't know what God has planned for me, I'm still learning.
But in the meantime.... Pray for me please :)
