Faith

Today I am having a bad day. It is only a matter of time until the repo-people come to get my car. That is depressing. I am very depressed today. I must say this, not because I believe it, but because by some sort of conductive reactance it will make me feel better and centered. What ever … here it goes. When I am in the midst of an experience, it is easy to forget that there is a plan. Sometimes, all I can see is today.

If we were to watch only two minutes of the middle of a television program, it would not make sense. How often have you (cyber friend) used that same, limited perspective to look at your life – especially when you are going through a tough time?

I have an idea. Let us learn to have perspective when we are going through these confusing, difficult times. When we are being shit upon constantly by life. A perceived shitting that is!

Let us believe that there is something valuable being worked out – even when things seem so screwed up. Especially when we cannot get our bearings. Insight and clarity will out come until we have mastered this idea.

I read somewhere once ”Faith is like a muscle, it must be exercised to get stronger“. Repeated experiences of tough times is a good thing … it is exercising our faith. Faith … trusting what we cannot see and repeated experiences of learning to trust that things will work out, are what makes our faith grow. As an athlete, I can follow this plan … can you?
