Oh, what a week ..... heavy hearted and overloaded brain (yes, pre-existing condition, but..still painful). Here we are 15 days into the New Year and oh, man it is going to be an interesting year! In just my little circle of friends and family we have "lost" 30 loved ones, we have 6 badies-toddlers struggling with medical conditions, 3 marriages have ended, 2 families have been forever changed with custody issues. Life in acadamia has been just as eventful and stressing. Philosophy has always anerved me. Psychology and sociology kind of scare me (ha ha, yes more than my own shadow). It is so hard to see these "foreign concepts" that people live by and to see their lives in utter turmoil and pain and unable to help them because they do not want to hear your "values and beliefs of God" and feel you are oppressing them. Counseling is such as strange little profession. People are the most challenging and facinating creatures God created. I am so challenged and desiring to see the connection that is stated in Genesis, that humans are created in God's image. We are capable of so much and yet.... We decide to not do anything but that which we "want" and that will benefit us. Oh how sad!. Thankfully God did not just work for his own pleasure, he thought about mankind when he sent his only son to save us, and that gave him pleasure to reclaim us from our savageness and selfishness.
What???? you are lower than lower, you are depressed, angry, unthankful and not praising. You are so burdened by all the "expectations" and requirements of life that you cannot even explain what is going on and God is the source of your pain. Those that identify themselves as Christian or believers or..... are expressing similar problems and discomfort and when you mention scripture or praying or God, you are declared an enemy.
What in the heck is going on???? Can you really study and read and go to church and live in a "christian Home" and not utilize the things you are taught. Does the Word not heal and encourage and strengthen??? It does for me!!! Others teach and share that it does for them, but yet we have people so miserable and so hurt and angry and uncomfortable. Why????

Could it be we are not BELIEVING AND WALKING IN THE TRUTH. We read our scripture and we do our prayer and then we are off to our day in our strength and in our knowledge and do not access things until the next session??? Scripture is REAL!!!! IT is the medicine to cure and strengthen. IT is the answer to the question.. GO to the Doctor!!!!
my favorite flair on facebook is "STOP, DROP and PRAY"! Do it. Get real with God. He knows everything anyway and He alone can make your life the life of VICTORY, PEACE, JOY, SECURITY and most importantly these days HOPE!!!
