Life as I Know It; Family; Lifestyle; and Healthy Living!

Last year I wrote a blog, entitled "Sucking it up; How does God do it http://wellness-serenity.joeuser.com/article/137674/Sucking_it_up_how_does_God_do_it.  It was a random writing of my thoughts and some of the things that runs rampant in my mind at times!  Re-reading it a few minutes ago...because I was looking at my 'referrals' (neat feature I've always said), two of the paragraphs/excerpts leapt out at me:

 

I can't imagine what it must be like to be God. To have the responsibility that he does for all of us. To be able to have the power to do what he did and does do. Yet to be able to know when not to do anything to step in and help because he knows that there is a time when the humans that he created will get it.
Have you ever wondered if he sits where he is and wondered if he made a big mistake in creating our world? He did do it right. We can't be such a complete mess? I mean we just can't just be this mixed up, this corrupt, this stupid?! Even after he made his only son die for us, forgive our sins, we continue to do all that we do. I wonder if he ever asks himself "where did I go wrong?" I mean every parent asks themselves this question at one point or another right? He must question himself of whether he's a good parent or we're just all so messed up mentally maybe he should start the process all over again! Then again, maybe he's just biding his time, giving us a chance to get it together, to get it right?
******************************************************************
Yeah, being God, I don't know if I would want that responsibility. But I'm so glad he's there though!
For those times when you have one of those moments when you're feeling really low, and you just don't get it. We all have those moments. We move about like automatons, just going through the motions, just because. And if eating an entire box of chocolate or a cup of your favourite ice cream doesn't do it for you; if bawling and venting doesn't do it; if watching your favorite sad movie, just so you have an excuse to cry and drowning your sorrows with your best friend doesn't help.
Then this is the time you need to retreat within and call upon the other resources you use to soothe that melancholy, that fear, those troubled thoughts. This is the time you need to be still and listen to that voice which guides you. You will be surprised at how easy it all seems. Now if only everyone in the entire world could just be still for a moment so as to hear that voice. It might just quell the confusion that goes on.
But know that this too shall pass. That moment when you have the deck stack against you and you don't see a way out. It will pass. It had better or else someone's gonna get slugged!LOL!

 

 

I don't know how he does it, but I'm so glad he's there, watching out for us, watching over all of us.  Where would our world be without him in it? 

 

To me we would be lost without some form of religion or other, or some form or type of belief system.  Even those people who give their lives up to 'chance' and what the Universe dealt's to them.  Giving it all to pure luck or just plain fate.  Doesn't it all lead to the same  - to God? 

 

Although the world is chaotic in so many ways right now, we are all here for a reason, even if we each don't know what it is (I'm still searching for mine - I'm not ashamed to say).  We couldn't just be here for the sake of 'being here' regardless of each individual's views on 'creatism', 'evolution', or intelligent design'.

 

It matters not where we came from or how we came to be.  What matters is where we are going, and we do in the now!  We sometimes forget to care about each other, love each other...living selfishly.  It's time that we put away these acts and be selfless.  So many of us are coming around to this way of thinking.  And yet there are those who fight tooth and nails to say that it is not so, it cannot be so!  

 

Sometimes God gives us that which we least expect, a person, an object, an event, in our lives to wake us up, and it's up to us to take that chance and live as we should, as we dream it to be.  Even when it looks too good to be true!  Forget those who whispers that it is, that negative voice that whispers in our ear to say, "naw, this can't be real"...!  Why do we doubt him so, why do we doubt ourselves, our own possibilities? 

 

Our world and our lives are changing, I hope for the better.  With progress, comes much responsibility that we should handle carefully, for the sake of our children and our children's children (even if you don't have any, in God's eyes, we are all one).

 

And forget those who say the world will end in 2012!  I don't believe it.  It could end tomorrow for all we know!

Note to moderator, I change my font to be larger but each post usually have ever shrinking fonts....?  Is this the norm or what do I need to do?

I prefer to focus on life. It's the only thing that's right in front of us. Sure religion has some good ideas on how to live that life, but I'm not too invested in it. It's floating around inside my head, and I'm trying to work out exactly what it all means...at least, what it means to me.

I vehemently agree with, that we need some sort of structure with which to base our lives around. Something to depend on and hold us up when nothing else will. For me, that mostly lies in what I know and the predictable patterns I see in the world. Science and math explain so much...however, they don't really give purpose, just explanation. That's why I hold on to that small grain of religion and I'm trying to expound on that through my various philosophies that I cook up on once in awhile.

To be honest, I do think there is some underlying meaning to all of this...but it's hard to grasp and explain in mere words. Everything I think about and write often correlates to these seeming tendencies in human nature, in fact all nature. While I know a lot of things, there is still much more for me to learn and hopefully with it I will further understand the real purpose of life. My own personal belief is that the universal meaning to life is to live it. What does that mean? Well, a lot of things...but I won't go into that now. Would make for quite a few good articles, actually.

There is something spiritual to the world outside the realm of what we see...what is it? God, perhaps...but there's no true way to explain it. I'm rather confident in knowing about the world I see around me, but what about that which I do not see? As humans, I think it is our tendency to attribute things to a power source. We used to think God causes a lot of natural phenomenon and science has cleared the fog from around it. Gradually we have lost the so-called "proof" of God in the physical world. What it depends on now, however, is whether we can pick up and feel it within our very being. This world is being explained quickly...still many mysteries, but we're getting quite a grasp on them. I think that's okay. We're here to learn and that's what we're doing.

I view this existence as a computer simulation kind of thing. It starts from a singularity and everything goes forward from there. That's why evolution and religion don't clash with me. Start small, work your way up. God has an infinite amount of time, so why be in such a hurry? Just wind it up and let it go. I mean, where's the fun in creating everything all at once? Let it go, change, evolve, become something. As a parent watching a child, you'd hardly want to give birth to adults, would you? (Aside from the physical impossibility, it would be disappointing)

The only thing constant is change.(Well, in life anyway)



Damn, didn't think I was going to spout off like that...

That's OK!LOL!  You brought a lot of thoughts to the table!  I like what you said about living life, which is what we should do, all of us.  What do we get out of life if we live it unhappily, as many of us have found out, nothing but unhappiness!  I would love to see some more of your thoughts when you're ready!

My pleasure, when I'm in the mood I can be very opinionated. Philosophy is a bit of a hobby...although leave it to me to ponder about the human condition and consider it a hobby.

Feel free to feed me prompts. I can probably churn out whole articles on some stuff.
