Pain

Pain, loss, trials, tribulations. All things we deal with in our lives, all things that we end up having to go through. But is through these painful situations that we grow, that we can become more than we were. It may not be fun but its true. The thing that most people forget is that we don't have to go through these alone, we have a God who is always there, who is willing to help us as long as we have faith in him.  The hardest part of it all is honestly having faith in the darkest times. Its good to go to those who are wise and knowledgeable and get help from them. Those who have gone through they're on trials and tribulations are sometimes the best resource we have. Sometimes we forget that and end up thinking that we are going through this alone.

A little about me

I'm not perfect, I have never said as much. I will admit that I am a work in progress, but that's the thing...in progress. Since my surgery my mindset has changed, since I found God again my attitude has changed. I am a different person, a gradually better person. I'm not the smartest, but not to brag or anything, but I am pretty smart. I'm blessed with wisdom and maturity of thought and I try to apply that to my life, and at times pass what I can onto those who would like it. If you don't want to listen to what I have to say...well then don't listen. My words are not going to be for everyone, they are for those who need them, those who want them. I thank God every day that He has granted me the knowledge that I have, that I have been blessed with the ability to help those who need it and who are receptive to it. My very life is a testimony, If not for God's hand in my life I would have died from my brain tumor, I would have gone nuts from my massive depression and anxiety. So in closing of my little, well I'm not quite sure what, if you don't like what you see or hear then I'm sorry but I'm not going to change back to how I was for anyone. Shalom

Facts of Life

Life is not easy, life is not fair. We can't always control what happens and we can't always know what is to come. I sit here day after day looking at facebook, seeing how people try to scream out through they're actions how much they dislike the world. Well not to sound like a jerk...but guess what. Life. Isn't. Fair. It rains on the just and the unjust alike. Yeah, the world is sinking into the gutter. Yeah, people die everyday. And yeah this country is becoming a twisted place to be but what do we have to be happy about? Don't we have friends who are there for us? Don't we have family who love us? Don't we have a place to sleep? And don't we have food? I know not everyone has the most perfect life, not everyone is healthy and happy, but why don't you sit down and look at what you have to be happy about. Stop being an emo pain in the butt, stop being lazy and complaining about how the world wont coddle you. Take a stand in your life, tell the world that you are happy that you are at least alive. Now, a quick note, I am not aiming this at any specific person so before you go ape on my butt just think about what I'm trying to say. I'm not usually one to make loud bold statements on here but I'm tired of sitting here and watching people suck they're thumbs and whine like a child. See, I can say something cause I've been in the low spots and I know what its like to feel like the world is falling apart, I at one time felt like there wasn't a reason to keep living. I almost died from a stupid tumor in my brain. I have loved and lost, and I will love and lose even more. And YET, and yet here I am today, mostly whole. I have learned from my pain, I have learned from my trials, and I can now say there is a reason to be alive. I'm not going to get all religious on all my friends who don't believe in God, but I do know that I wouldn't be alive if not for a higher power. Ladies and gents, I'm a walking miracle, I'm living proof. But back to my topic...If you want to find a reason to smile, if you want to find something to be happy about....then thanks the good Lord that you are at least alive and not sitting in a gutter on your deathbed. Now that I have said my peace, I wish you all a pleasant night, or day depending on where you are. Shalom, peace be with you

The perception of time

People always go on about how the bible isn't scientifically correct. I would like to point out to those who care that science is ever changing, some once believed that the earth was hatched from an egg, while there's believed that it was the result of the dismemberment of a giant, or that it was thought into being by two great gods. I could honestly go one and list myth after myth. Now in the bible it says that the earth was created in a day, now...here's the part that most people don't think of...this was written in the perception of men...who said that God's day was our day, who said that for God his day was only 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds? Kinda makes you think a little about things.
