Another Day

I posted it on facebook but I thought I would go into a little more detail in my blog. I always find it weird how my mind thinks more during the middle of the night rather than the day when I'm really suppose to be up. Anyways that is not the point.... Here is the point though. It has been storming like crazy here in Sacramento. For all of you who don't live in California... trust me it is not always sunny California. But what I was thinking as I was sitting in my bed is that with all these storms and hearing the super strong winds and the rain just pounding down. Do you ever wonder if it could be God's tears. I mean he is known to be such a powerful God so why can't the weather be his emotion? Of course no one can prove this fact but if you think about it it makes you wonder. I mean what if God is crying over the world because of all our sins and it's his only way of washing things down to make it somewhat clean. It's almost like being a janitor in a bathroom. The bathroom gets filled with disgusting smells and just starts to look nasty and eventually the janitor just has to spray it all down for the next day. Sometimes I think God just thinks we need a cleansing moment. Yet we all fear weather and the storms. Maybe it is like us fearing our parents when we make them mad or hurt. In a sense we are hurting and making our father in heaven sad which makes us scared of his storm from his eyes. The truth is we hurt because God hurts because we are his creation.
Something interesting Mr. Collins brought up the other day in class. If you can't make your life perfect then there must be someone else in control of your life. There must be something perfect out there if it can't be you. So why not believe there is something more out there.... like God? It's crazy because I never thought of it that way. If there was no God then I could do whatever with my life and it would always be perfect. But what is the fun of that? I think I rather have a God above me to teach me the life lessons. That could also just be because I'm human and that's how I think automatically.
Another lesson I learned today is that working hard can suck sometimes. I mean think of all the times you thought you went 100% in a project and no one was looking and you didn't get the credit you deserved. I feel like this almost happens too much. You work your freaking tail off yet no one sees it and they think you have done nothing. It's like watching a show or play and your like oh okay I could do that and that looks easy. Yet all those actors worked their butts off behind the scenes that you couldn't even see. So in a sense you never did watch their full show. Because in truth the whole show has been going on for months as they practice and practice to perfect it. Work is important and I understand that. Yet it frustrates me to know that a lot of us don't get the credit we deserve. But think how Jesus felt when he was down here. He was pulling off crazy miracles and teaching like no one has taught before. Did people care? Some did but not most. Most people didn't even believe him. We as humans still don't know the kind of pain he had to go through to be hung on that cross... Through the whipping and everything on top of that. If I could be any hero I would want to be Jesus that's for sure.

So that sums it up on my thoughts tonight. Comment if you have any questions and hey it could turn into a really good discussion. Different views creates a better belief I think.
