No matter what you think about the song or the artist, please watch this video before you read this post. If you don't like it, it doesn't matter. Pay attention to the words.
After a three month hiatus, I decided to write again. I've been having my ups and downs, good days and bad days. Trying to figure out what I believe and trying to fully dedicate my life to Him.
Changing is hard, well, for me it is. Telling yourself, "Okay, you can't watch this anymore." or "You can't listen to this or hang out with this person because it's only going to pull you away from Him."
I've had days where I didn't care to take the time to stop doing something or stop watching something or even to just stop and pray. I've had days where I did stop, days where I took the time to pray and acknowledge that He was there.
I'm still working on it all, but one thing I've always wanted to do was defend myself and my God. I've always wanted to tell someone why I believe in Him, why I know He's there.
Well, I haven't actually gotten to do that yet, I just wanted to share with others why I know He's with us.
On a side note: I'm not a fan of rap. At all. I really don't like it. But I bought a KJ-52 album (Behind the Musik) and I am really enjoying it. Honestly, this album is what's bringing me closer to God. Every time I hear a song by him, I just get so excited about being His child. His music is so inspiring to me, because it just tells of how much God loves us and what He gave for us.
Anyway, back to my post.
I used to look around and just see things. Nothing in particular. Just things. People, places, items. Nothing important. But I've been looking around a lot lately and I've been seeing something different. I see God a lot. Everywhere.
I see God when I look at a single, pregnant woman who's keeping the baby even though, for now, she has no way to take care of it.
I see God when I see a beautiful forest even though people are going to tear down to build a shopping mall that we don't need.
I see God when I see a child learn to walk or talk.
I see God when I hear a song written for Him.
I see God when some one's pain is taken and they get to be with Him.
I see God when my niece says her adorable prayers at night.
I see God when children play.
I see God when I see a family praying at a restaurant.
I see God when someone decides to get help.
I see God when I see people gathering to talk about Him, even though right now it's almost like a disease to believe in Him.
I see God in a disaster, because it brings people together.
I see God in so many things.
Maybe this doesn't really make sense to you, or maybe you think it's one of my worse posts, but I get it, He gets it. I just don't really know how to explain it properly. Either way, it's been on my heart to post this, even though I desperately want to delete it because it isn't quite coming out how I want. But I won't.
