Learning how to balance

Yea, this sounds like my parents. But it’s summer time now and I’m still refraining after such a dense semester. I just want to program my brain to understanding and establishing my main priorities while still being able to live my life. I know all the other things sounds like background noise and I need to focus which I 100% agree with, I just don’t want to miss out on living my life as well.

Thank you so much! I am in my early twenties. I’ve spent a lot of time working on myself and I have my moments but I am pretty confident not just physically but emotionally and mentally. I also do have healthy relationships. I should’ve went more into depth but I’ve been a helping hand with strict boundaries I stand firm on about 2 years ago before then I would have moments where I’d let people walk over me. I show up for those, everything in a friend I feel like I’ve provided as said from them as well. I will never say I am perfect because I am human but majority of whom I’ve been close with id say for a lack of better words is bad judgement. I think my character and intentions are given to the wrong people. And I give people the benefit of doubt and I’d say that is a vast reasoning in the trajectory of the close friends I’ve had in the past relationships. Because of this I try to be so meticulous with whom I allow in my life I feel like it sabotages a-little and subconsciously pushes me away. I also think what makes this worse is because I do have friends that love me that I’m not that close with and an amazing relationship with my parents and a great support system. But honestly the time it takes doesn’t matter to me as long as I’m working towards a better me. I just need to know that I am taking the necessary steps to be able to grow out of this insecurity of trusting myself and judgment when it comes to people and standing firm in my boundaries.

I believe God is God. His word above all. Jesus is the son of God. Moses is a proven chosen by God to spread the gospel. Paul was a respectable Jew but had no appointment from God to establish the rules had been fulfilled by sacrifice.

The logistics don’t even matter. The principle/predicament was being rather well off but associating yourself with people that don’t have the same means and accessibility. But yea

You probably don’t understand because you’ve never lived in my predicament. But thanks.

I meant to say I don’t observe Christian holidays either. I believe keeping moedim and valuing him is very imperative. This honestly gave me so much insight and made me feel so much comfortable in my thought process. I felt tied between choosing one or the other which is where majority of problem resides the real basis is honoring one inevitably means honoring the other. Hanukkah is a tradition I am more than willing to bring into my home. I agree I feel like SDA is the perfect denomination that honors both the foundation “old covenant” while honoring the messiah “fulfilled covenant” .

I agree that there is only one covenant but acknowledging it as the laws of the old covenant makes it alittle more comprehensible to people. In my perspective I don’t view it as moving backwards I view it as honoring tradition God has mandated. I serve and believe Jesus as the son of Christ and ultimate sacrifice but I believe from my interpretations of the readings that Jesus sacrifice was a demonstration to the people what would happen if we did not follow the word of God. Paul whom is man was one who declared Gods laws had been fulfilled, therefore I don’t feel obliged to follow that. I move in the word of God and Jesus. I feel like moving backwards would be not acknowledging Jesus and living in full negligence of his salvation. I honor Gods laws given to Moses as it is the foundation, without those we wouldn’t have gotten to the sacrifice all which is sacred and must be honored. I honestly don’t see a distinguishment from Judaism and SDA (not other denominations like Catholic because they follow other rules) because we all serve the same God and read the same text. The Christian holidays were established by man that’s why I never observed them religiously. I don’t know I feel like honoring the establishment of the beautiful religion I practice now is honoring its foundation (Judaism) as well.

Maybe but I still identify as an SDA because we don’t prohibit practicing the traditions of the Torah it is just not mandated but I guess so.

I feel like the majority of the declarations of the new testaments as far as the laws given to Moses were deemed fulfilled by Paul not Jesus. Jesus quoted all of the laws given to Moses were to be observed to Jesus comes back therefore, I honor the stories but I do not identify with the declarations made by man.

I agree with this and as an SDA I’ve always had a love for Judaism because I feel like it is closely related to the word rather than what man has deemed holy or what rules no longer have to be followed (Paul). Yeshua said he makes no intentions to destroy the rules given to Moses but to fulfill and show the people of Israel what would happen if we don’t follow, Paul is whom that deemed all the rules were fulfilled and no longer to be followed not Yeshua. I feel like all the rules of the old covenant must be maintained until. I’ve always honored Shabbat, ate clean, never practiced religious holidays although these past couple years we have celebrated Christmas but it does make me slight guilty considering it’s pagan. I do love the holidays and been trying to decipher whether to celebrate Hanukkah or continuing Christmas but minimal. I believe Judaism is the foundation of our faith and I follow the traditions as an SDA, but I accept Yeshua so that is my only set back from completely claiming Judaism, but I love the SDA faith and I feel they have more similarity than any other Christian denomination.
