What are you chasing?

Thor

In tough times, a surge of hopelessness is bound to come. And trust me, I've felt the feeling of hopelessness penetrate like a triumphant crush. But it is what you do when you are down that makes you who you are.

Kind of cheesy, but as I was watching Thor it brought me to this. It is not that life won't let you down — because it will. And even you, will fail. But at the end of the day, as the doorman says, "There is always hope." And with God there truly is a hope embedded in our hearts, that goes beyond all understanding.

You may be down on your knees and that's okay. God is the one who is kneeling beside you, holding you in his arms and reminding you that he is there. He was always there and will always be. It brings me to tears as I write that because it is the truth. If ever you feel lonely, which seems to come often, remember you have a perfect God by your side. At all times, brothers and sisters. He is always there. So crack a smile and praise the Lord for we are so dearly loved.

Fades

Either when life becomes too routine or hardships come, I find myself remembering the sole purpose I have. To glorify God. Remembering that, everything else seems to fade away.


During tougher times, it really is hard to see any hope that seems to last.


That is why the bible is so encouraging. Words that embody hope and love. God is what stands through all situations and all of time.

How many people can say they have a reason to celebrate when living through the darkest of days? That's what I find to be so amazing. That even though you may be going through the hardest of times on earth we still have reason to rejoice when we look to Christ. 

It might sound depressing to some but this next bit is honestly the purest form of encouragement for me. Life on earth will soon pass and everlasting happiness, peace and perfect love will be a reality. Living in heaven where we will be together with God for eternity.

This truth has and continues to get me through some ugly days.

Society And Social Media

I just read on Wall Street Journal that 55% of parents of 12-year-olds said their child has Facebook and 76% of them helped their kids set it up. Am I crazy or is that just too young?

I can see how social media can be of aid at times and in certain ways, but the growing dependance on it has really shaped society in a negative manner. But that is my personal opinion.

I really miss how things used to be. The attachment to social media and technology has become overwhelming. Just too much.
