GAH! I'm so tired of people saying they want their own Edward or Jacob or Harry or whatever other popular fictional character is out there. I saw a flair a few minutes ago on Facebook that did, however, make me smile. "I don't need an Edward... I have a Jesus."
How true is this, people? I know how bad I am about wanting these things I don't have, and this brings this home for me. Why do I want anything else when I can have Jesus Christ, the Creator of the universe! It just hits me sometimes how worried and worldly I can be.
My other thing is this... A few flairs down from this, I saw one of those "Team Jacob" flairs. If you know me, you know I'm a twi-hard. BUT it frustrates me when I see those, "Edward ruined real men for me" flairs and things of that effect. Yes, I think Meyer is a wonderful author, but she's not God! I'll never understand how anyone can say that a fictional character ruined real people for him or her, when really, nothing can be better than the real thing. Edward Cullen is a fictional character, created by (wo)man. Real people, with their strengths and weaknesses, are GOD'S creation! Nothing created by man will ever trump something God has made... Look at flowers. Sure, plastic ones can be pretty, but they are never as wonderful as the fragrant, fading, soft real ones... There's no comparison. God wins, ever time.
About Me
- Linnea
- Um... My name's Linnea. I'm a (somewhat) typical teenage girl. I like books, reading, hanging out with the people in my life. I am a Christian, and I would love to talk to you about my faith. Otherwise, I'm a brand new college student leaving the 'fake' world of high school and entering the real world. Can't wait!
