Getting Off Track
It seems lately I have been getting myself quite off track. What I had intended to be a faith related blog has turned into a blog about everything in general, and while that isn’t necessarily a bad thing I think I’m going to try and get myself back on track.
I have a tendency to load too much on to myself. I feel the need to keep myself busy so I don’t have much time to worry about all the other stuff in my life that happens to be going on at the moment. Some of it’s pretty trivial in the big picture, but sometimes worry is all we have to rely on.
What I have decided to do is form two more blogs that I will post details about my template making and one that will detail my mundane everyday stuff. I may not post to either of them very often as this will give me a total of four blogs to keep up with, however I will do my best on all counts.
What I have come to realize is that I have been avoiding discussing my spiritual beliefs because it takes so much out of me. I don’t mean this in any way that is bad because I really and truly believe that it’s important for me to get my feelings across and try to inform those who may not know the love of Jesus, and also to possibly give others a different perspective to what they may have been taught.
I have come to believe that our way of life is slowly deteriorating, and at some point in the future will cease to exist at all. Weather you agree with this or not is not really an issue to me, but look around. I mean seriously. I love my country with all my heart, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I have to agree with everything that the government decides is ‘in my best interest’. Crime rates are going up at astounding rates, murder, rape, molestations of children, kidnappings. It all sickens me to the point that sometimes I am actually frightened to watch the news.
A couple of mornings ago, I had just awakened and was waiting for the coffee to brew, and as usual I had the news on. I heard, “please be advised that this a very graphic and that young children should probably not see this”. (If young children are up at that hour, my goodness!) It was video of a police officer getting hit by a truck that had lost control of his vehicle. It made my stomach turn over about ten times to say the least. The police officer didn’t sustain ANY major injuries; witch to say is a miracle would be overstating it. This was on a busy freeway where the speeds had to be in access of 65 miles per hour. The officer was standing there one minuet, the next you saw him fly out of the picture, and I mean that literally.
Don’t ask me where I was going. I think I’m too tired to be thinking clearly let alone writing anything. However I wanted to take the time to jot down something that has been jumping out at me from the scriptures. Before I do that however, I want everyone to know that if you see some posts seemingly disappear before your very eyes, don’t be alarmed…I have moved them to there perspective blogs.
The following is one of my new favorite passages. I was led to it while searching for something unrelated and urged by God to read it carefully and take heed to its meaning.
Matthew 5:3-5:13
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Always seek the light, and search for knowledge.
