It’s funny really, the directions my mind takes every day. With my inability to stay focused on the task at hand, it ends up on a dead end road regularly; causing, as Sir Topishat would say, “Delay and Confusion”. In a recent conversation with a friend who’s faith is at the level I’m aiming for, we touched lightly on the subject of punishment. It’s funny really, how the events in her life five years ago are what brought us together and now I am living those same events in my life. I haven’t believed in coincidence or karma for awhile now that I honestly believe God is in complete control. Although I believe God does not punish us for our sins anymore when he sacrificed his only son on the cross over 2000 years ago, my mind still takes that dead end road wondering why every time I start feeling comfortable at where our life is, something happens to make us run right in to that brick wall. And the worse part is when your child takes the brunt of that collision, altering the life they thought would never change. We’ve seen pretty much every possible heartache and the only thing that life has not taken from us is our love, and no matter how many times Satan has tried to take that he is defeated.
Not sure where I read this:
We should not be afraid when we see evil increase. God is in control, no matter how evil the world becomes. God guards us during Satan’s attacks. We can have victory over evil by remaining faithful to God.
I’ve been trying to remember what it’s called when people honestly believe that when popular opinion decides it’s ok to go against what God wants, He actually is ok with it, He just wants us to be happy. I know it set me off on a rant but I can’t find where I wrote down. I know my first thought was that I don’t think God is up there with White Out so He can rewrite the commandments, or cement if he is still using the stones. Anyways, in my search, I found this I never published. I guess now is as good a time as any.
I don’t know where my pondering was headed now,
