GOD Hears All, Faith Is Key.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend about God and he showed me that he was listening Sunday morning.

Last week I had a conversation with a friend about God. We were talking about life after death and how it was a struggle to believe in something that you haven't experienced. We talked about Ressurection, what happens when you die, and if there even is life after death. We talked for hours about how we feel guilty for questioning our faith and God. Faith is believing in what you can't see. We are taught to believe in things that we can see, but what about things that we can't?

Sunday, a few days after we had that conversation, I went to church and my pastor began the service by asking for the definition of Faith. He waited for a moment and then he proceeded to tell us that everyone one of us has a different interpretation of Faith. Faith is choosing to believe in what we cannot see. Trusting in the unknown.

I was shocked, tears filled my eyes and I cried. Tears flowed continuously down my face, and whilst I felt guilty, joy filled my heart. God heard me and sent me answers through my pastor. While I am certain the message wasn't only intended for me, I needed that message at that time.

"Our fear and doubt can create mountains, but our faith can move them" -Unknown

No matter how bad things get you have to have Faith. No matter what is going on in your life, Faith is going to be your biggest help. Faith is the truest measure of our strength and will. The circumstances that we face in life are just collateral damage in circumstances that you face during your battle of keeping confidence in god.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
