So, this is going to be completely random, a bit soap-boxey, and full of rhetorical questions I'm sure, but I'm gonna write it anyhow. My doggie snores, louder than anyone else in the house. I think it's cute.

This life is not candy and roses and days off and free money and easy-going, discipline-free happy times. This life has rules and trials and tribulations and hurt and pain and confusion and disappointment and worry and missed opportunities. And it sucks if you have nothing to look forward to, and no one to lean on.

Couples marry for lust (for each other) and divorce for lust (for themselves, and sometimes for someone else). How many people do you know that have fallen in "love" and one, or both, of them "fall out of love" just as quickly? I wonder if they ever realize that it was never love; it was physical lust, or co-dependence, or a pacifier for the fear of being alone, or just plain selfishness. But hey, why not? It's all about what we want anyway, right?

I'm willing to bet that most of the people reading this post will skim over the next few questions and not REALLY answer them, truthfully, in their own mind. Oh well, here goes.

Are you feeling lonely? Sad? Scared? Depressed? Frustrated? Guilty? Empty? Worthless? Angry? Why are you feeling that way?

Who are you accountable to? What happens to you when you die? Who do you care about? Do you love anything, truly, more than you love yourself--i.e. would you give up all of your selfish wants and even your life? If so, what/who?

(And now for the squirming, heavy sighs, and general uncomfortableness, because these questions are just "too personal", right?)

Is anything keeping you from surrendering your heart to a loving and merciful God, who knows all of your pain and the desires of your heart? How long are you going to wait?

Jeremiah 29:11
Hebrews 11:1
Psalm 37:4
John 3:16
Hebrews 8:12

Even if you don't have a Bible, I challenge you to look up these 5 verses. Just Google them. Aren't you tired of feeling the way you do?

Life still sucks sometimes. Honest, it does. But I know that I have wondrous times waiting for me, and I'm not in control, which is the best thing of all. Because my life gets screwed up the most when I try to take the wheel and drive. And there's only one insurance policy that will insure me now, after all of the accidents I've had. Thank God that He's willing to take a chance on me, and you.
