my LJ just became a god journal..
yeah, i never use this, so a warning for anyone who still reads this.. i am using it solely for response to the god book i am currently reading. since i am no longer speaking wtih the person i was reading it with, i still need to respond. so disregard this. or read it. i dont care.
'What Makes God Smile?'
smile on me, your servant; teach me the right way to live - psalm 119:135
this chapter talks a lot about noah building the arc. and i have to say that although i enjoyed the chapter it raised questions. how did noah spend 120 years building the arc? last time i checked human beings dont really live that long. it makes me once again ask, if the bible lies, then how can you believe that any of it is true??
this chapter says that the point of life is to make god smile. in general i know that sounds pretty cheesy, but its not with worship or church or anything.. apparently by just being humans god smiles.. so by taking a shit god smiles??
ok vulgar. but really..
it says that anything (except sin) can be done for the lord pleasure. which is hard, because i have trained myself my whole life to never do anything for another person. and now to try to tell myself to do everything for god? its hard.
it also says that you please god by thanking him and praising him. at home. at work. on the can. whereever.
which is one area that i think maybe i dont do too badly. because i can see a beautiful sunset and its like i instantly thank, whoever or whatever for it.. the warm feeling of the sun on my skin, and i think that there has to be something else.. more out there then just nothing.. because life is too amazing.. too beautiful to be a coincidence...
the question to ponder, since god knows whats best, in what areas do i need to trust god more?
i always have a hard time with the questions.. because how can i trust someone who constantly hurts me.. but i guess thats what this question is about.. where do i need to trust god more? with my life. they say god never gives you more than you can handle.. if thats the case, i have to sit back relax, and trust that i will be ok. regardless to the heart ache i feel, if its right, its right.. things with brandon may seem hard now, but in the end.. its probably right that we arent together..
so where do i need to trust god more? over all. i need to trust all the pain and confusion. because when it boils down to it, nothing is so hard that i cant deal with it.. money is tight.. i work a lot.. but do it 110%. live for a purpose. "hitting the board for the lord."
bartending for god.lol.
but quite seriously, instead of worrying about money, just work my ass off and know that in the end i will be ok.. and that this is only temporary.. i think im starting to get it..
