It's just You

Wow, this year has just begun and already we're so far into it. Spring has rolled on us, before we know it it'll be summer. Talk about time being an enemy. Anyways, ok, so here we go. What's my revelation this week? I'm thinking about the apostle Paul, in a matter so common, escaping problems. In his letter to the Roman church he writes "I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me". It's apparent that this is among the laws of our universe. It's just not in our common text books =) So I find it pretty consistent. I'm sure I'm not alone in this matter, but rather those around me, my enviroment, atmosphere, and this so ever growing and changing world.

Time is a factor in which we either race against it, or simply give up. In many points of life I find it to be an enemy, as opposed to a friend of mine. Evolution has truly made it's claim in our world. Of course I'm not talking about some Darwin theory, but just the evolving of our time, our era. We're in an age where we'll soon be seeing revolving skyscrapers. Don't believe me, check it out "Revolving skyscraper".

I've come to grow into a person I didn't see 5 years ago, maybe even 2 years ago, or even a few months ago. I've seem to have lost track of my structure, lost track of my ambitions and goals, my selected choices on succes, my thoughts on how to acheive, lost track of myself. Why? Because I've become more customed to dealing with others, and I've seen as a matter of fact; that the world is much bigger than anyone in it. Look around, your in it. 

If you just take the time to look around yourself, you'll notice the vague images of what life really is. The World is not inhabitted by buildings, materials, industry, or even money. It's inhabbited by 
people
Not normal people, not clear minded people, not loving people, hating poeple, dysfunctional people, monsterous people, but simply people. That's what they are. People. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you've read this far than you've come to see that in us, we have a little of what I just named.

"I can be Worthy"

This is a quote I heard in a sermon no more than 2 years ago by Pastor Daniel Butler, such a great man. When he submitted it to the people, It immediately struck me, even the very depth of me. He went on to speak of how nowhere in the Scripture does it ever make mention where God condenmed or rejected the people simply for not being worthy. Trying your best to be worthy is the thing you find in servants who serve a great King, in a soldier trying to protect his home and country, it's the thing you find in All leaders. It's in our nature to succeed as not only a strong breed, but humans. With this, I turned my thinking into Value. I found that I used to be so wrapped on myself that I rarely had time to truly enjoy my enviroment, enjoy who I was supposed to be. Why? Because I was so caught into the things that destroy people. Power, Money, and the list goes on.

These last few months have been different in so many ways, but mostly 'cause I set time to the side so that I could start building a "self". Not self-esteem, self-motivation, self-determination, but just a "Self"... I need someone in ME to depend on. As you all do. It's rather simple if you think you about it.

I read a headline not too long ago that makes perfect sense. It states "If Electricity comes from Electrons, then does Morality come from Morons?" Makes sense right? Well, at least to me it does. If you can find morality coming from a moron, then you can find a cure for cancer, you can find hope in the hopeless, you can find Love in a hateful heart; what I'm saying is that nothing is impossible. I, as a moron, not often, but sometimes can find sensible morality coming from my brain. I sometimes act out a little rendition of the scarecrows part in the Wizard of OZ, if I only had a brain, when I can't find the answer to my problems. It's childish, I know. But it helps me out so much, so in a nutshell I figure out my problem. Your greatest problems aren't things to consist with your environment, such as friends, coworkers, bosses, weather, etc. It's just you.
