Good Vs. Evil

Call me crazy, but I believe there is a war going on in this world.  (God vs. Satan; Heaven vs. Hell; etc.)

Don't believe me?  That's fine- you're entitled to your opinion as I am mine. 

It worries me a lot to see so many wars going on and so many things happening in the world that we consider "an act of God" or "something evil" etc....  It's all in how you look at things.

For example: Mike Sanderson (shown above) http://blog.al.com/breaking/2010/08/the_miracle_of_huntsville_truc.html
It's hard to believe that someone who has been literally decapitated can survive, live, and regain 100% mobility.  Mike Sanderson believed that something greater was at work.
Science tells us that it's just impossible.
Remember this: Luke 1:37- For NOTHING is impossible with God.



Another example:
Alex Malarkey

Suffered an internal decapitation, and he came out of it talking about how he spent time in Heaven with Jesus.  He's seen angels and demons and satan as well.  I've read his story, and it definitely changed my feelings about Heaven and God.


Recently- Japan Tsunami
http://www.thejournal.ie/survivors-pulled-from-wreckage-of-japans-earthquake-and-tsunami-2011-03/
I take a look at my almost six month old little boy and I know how crazy he is about eating.  He always has been like that... but I can't imagine him going more than 1 day without eating or being cared for.  This poor baby was found in the rubble days after the tsunami hit!

I can't prove to you that God and angels exist, but I believe the signs are everywhere...  don't you?

Why do I post this?  To inspire you to look around you... it's not about what is tangible... 

I believe God does things to bring glory to himself-- even though there are so many terrible things going on in the world... I believe that God places good things amidst the bad to let us know there is hope, He is there... and He wants us to look to Him.

I believe all evil comes from Satan and that God allows things to happen to people to show us His glory and that He has power over death, and sin.  I believe we all have a choice to believe in God and obey him, or defy God and do whatever we want to do.  I believe there are consequences for our actions, and God allows sufferring possibly because we need it to understand how much we really do NEED Him.  I believe that if we followed Gods will for our lives from the beginning, that we probably wouldn't have as many problems as we do.

Anyways, I could go on and on... but I'll stop there.

The Heart of my Thoughts

The heart of my thoughts.  What does that even mean?
I'm sitting here with coffee in hand trying to decifer what I was trying to achieve through starting a blog.

I've seen beauty blogs, artsy blogs, work-out blogs and everyday life blogs.  I am not that.

So who am I?  What am I trying to achieve?

I am like everyone else, dealing with the same things, fighting the same fights, and at the same time--  I'm not.  I am not here to be stuck up and snobby and "better-than" you.  I'm not here to be some know-it-all, or someone who has it all together.  I'm here to be real.. really real.  To inspire people to stop being so worried about what isn't important... To challenge what is so-called 'acceptable' in this world's terms.  To inspire--- Change.

First post- done!
