I would like to introduce myself, My name is Pam and I would like to share a little bit of my thoughts with you. Looking back at my past used to be a painful experience, there were many things seen and felt and many loses. Any person reading this can and probably has made the same claim. Maybe you are still making that claim in life, financially, emotionally and physically you are claiming some sort of story. Is it good or bad?
I do not watch the news, not to say I don't hear about things but I try not to listen. Some people would think this is a horrible choice for me to make. I say fighting over religion, politics, a persons race or a persons choices is horrible.
One of the things I have come to realize lately on this Journey of mine is that
1. The bible is a book of inspirational stories, it is a guideline by which to live your life
2. Gods word is meant to bring peace, peace within you!
It does not matter what words you use to, it does not matter how you pray, it does not matter what religious label you give yourself if you were truly getting the message and living your life according to those guidelines and looking for the inspiration in those pages you would be experiencing peace in every aspect of your life.
If you think you have an argument about who wrote what version, or that the words were changed then are you really seeking that inspirational knowledge or are you seeking conflict? Everything changes, there are new books of inspirational stories being written everyday by a man.
If you are experiencing any emotion in your life other than pure joy you are not looking at the inspirational side of life, nor are you living life with your faith forward. You cannot be living you life with faith everything will be just fine, if you have faith everything is wrong. it's too much for me, I can't fix it , I can't afford it, I can't deal with it. Sound familiar? Then you are putting your faith into backward thought.
I am not perfect, this is a learning process and getting to the bright side is a journey! Why is it so hard for you to believe you can walk on water? Matthew 14 25-33 is one of my favorite reminders when I am setting a goal that seems impossible. God told us we can walk on water if we have faith we can because he told us so! If you don't believe this story that is your choice but if you look around in your life at one point in time you or someone you know has put fear and doubt aside and did something you truly believed was impossible at first!
I see so many things people debate and argue over! The power of belief is so important I too have to remind myself sometimes when I let my thoughts on an event happening in my life start flowing to be careful where I let them flow too. I must also understand , as we all must, that I can be a lighthouse but everyone must drive their own ship to shore.
If your car is broke, and your first thought is I don't have the money to..........then you are having faith that money will and can stop you from fixing that car or getting a new one......and so it will. If you remain calm when your ship is rocking and know that you will make it to shore and that money doesn't control that repair or you getting a new one you will find yourself pleasantly surprised. It doesn't have to be money you feel is stopping and it doesn't have to be a car that needs fixing. You just have to understand that you must wear your faith forward !
Everything really is as hard or as easy as YOU make it in life.
