Faith

Faith is like a sun guiding us on our way through the darkness of life and uncertainty. People may not believe what I say or what anyone says about faith. However faith is still there it is a truth that many do not want to believe everyone has there reasons. I do not judge people for not being faithful or religious for it is there choice. I only wish to help and save as many people from unfortunate circumstances as I can. Maybe I can't do much, maybe what I am saying and doing will not help everyone but it will be worth it if only it helps one soul to find there way. I can't say I am perfect in anything or in anyway. I have no more knowledge than anyone else but no less either. For me faith has faded and then come back again in full force, we get so caught up in life that we forget that we don't have to live life alone. We have our choices to make in life but we can ask for guidance and strength for situations we could never handle on our own. Maybe we miss this, maybe it isn't important, life seems so full so majestic so beautiful and unending. It does end though I myself know that life is fleeting having almost lost mine. I never really like to think about how close I came to death to the end of life. To the end of our seemingly unending world it has been hard for me and there are many things that if I look back I didn't have the strength to face alone. I had my faith, I had God to help me along the way, to help guide me to the answers that I was seeking. I couldn't see them strait off the bat but who can, it wasn't ever easy, it was confusing, difficult, I had lost so much that I had so often taken for granted. So all I want to say to people is have faith, believe in God and in Jesus and put your life in their hands. For those who might feel that I have a bias, or am not respecting other religions you are wrong. I respect all of the religions and feel that they all are beautiful and that they all have truths within them. Nothing man made is perfect that includes religion but the truths God has given us are constant and perfect in their message. So listen, listen to the small voice and decide on your own don't let other factors sway you, this is your choice down to the very end. Take it and see the true beauties of life! May God be with you all.

The Mind

The mind what is it, how do you describe it, you can't really. Most people would refer to their minds as their brain or the collection of thoughts, emotions, and feelings that are present in the mind. The mind is a tricky thing to locate, it not like pointing on a map and say here it is, it isn't in plain site. Certainly our minds are there they are what you might call awareness. It is true that your body receives the stimulation but it is your mind that interprets those signals. Since the is the case your perspective on life can color how you react to situations. Your mind has so much control over how it interprets what you feel that your own thoughts can make a situation dreadful. It is up to you to observe your thoughts and realize whether or not your thoughts are effecting how you act. If they are why are you thinking that thought, don't block the thought because that is what the mind does is think. Just observer and contemplate why you feel that why, doing this can change your experience of things greatly.

Things Can Start Off Slow

Sometimes we can be impatient, at least I know I can. We want thing right now, which can create expectations and these expectations can't always be fulfilled. So when things start off slow you can't say oh I am a failure I can't do this right, because maybe you can you just had to wait a little longer than expected. Everything comes in its place and time we just have to be patient enough and aware enough to see those opportunities when they come.

Lights of Life

Lights of Life is the name of my blog picture. I picked this picture because life is like following many spot of light that line up leading us on our way. Sometimes we may stray from this illuminated path but the light always serves to lead us back. Life like this picture might be dark and scary but there is always a path that illuminates our way and there is always a light that can show us the beauty behind the darkness. Take heart in knowing that it is not all bad that we all have our paths and we just have to look and find our lights again.
